Hi!! I used a 10 developer and did use the whole tube. I eyeballed it and used same amount developer as hair dye. Please be careful I just went to the salon to get new color and they had a hard time lifting the color out of my hair even with a 10 developer.. Good luck!!

No I do not I only use one ounce to 1 1/2 ounce of developer to cover my gray and leave for 45 min. Depends how much hair you have I am only covering my roots. If long hair maybe half the tube

It depends on your hair. My hair is long and thick. I only use a fourth of a tube for touch-ups on my grey new-growth. Then about every six months or so do I use a whole tube to refresh the rest of the hair. This hair color is the best I've used and last for a very long time.

The instructions are printed on the inside of the box.Pravana is NOT mixed 1:1 with developers like most dyes. You mix it in a ratio of 1 part dye to 1.5 parts developer. It is also a larger 3 oz tube not the standard 2oz size. For both these reasons the tubes are a good value.

I use it all because my hair is thick and long.I use the same amount of developer. You should always use tge same amount of each.

I use 10 to make it fill in my color if u use 20 it does make a little lighter of the color.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

I use the conditioner that comes with the hair color immediately after coloring per instructions, then the next day and after that I use the only Wen daily. It's great, keeps your color from fading.

I read about this concealer in one of my fashion books so I ordered it from Amazon. It is the best I've ever used and now will only use this brand. It is great. Problem is I have blonde hair and blue eyes, opposite of you so I don't know what color to tell you to order. Sorry

It's a cream in a tube only you don't need to mix it with developer. All bleaching/lifting should be done prior to using the color.

The blue and purple pravana should always be mixed with a clear pravana- and using the whole color (purple or blue) should never be used - that would cause your hair to turn a whole lot darker. I would use a whole tube of clear coat pravana and half a tube of color. Of course depending on length of hair also. If you have light hair and you were to use a whole tube of strictly blue or purple- this could cause your hair to turn basically black.

This developper is good for if you use the same color or a couple of shades lighter than your natural color. Always test in a small area before to apply on your entire hair.

Yes! I have used it for years and love it. I use less developer fluid than is recommended, though, for stronger color and better coverage.

I have used a couple of their products over the years. I think that would work. It doesn't work like regular hair dye where you are mixing chemicals and it develops. It is already in its final state. You are just letting it soak into your hair. For example, I have short hair, so I have used half a bottle and then used more in a few weeks. I will say though, it is not super long lasting, so you may just want to do it the full time because it will fade. The copper is my favorite! It gives a nice natural redhead looking tone, rather than the unnatural red you often see in dyes. Hope that helps!

You can use whatever you wish. Just keep in mind that the lower you go, the less color will show. Ex: if you use a 40 developer, your color will be vibrant and pop. If you use a 20 developer, your color will be lightly vibrant and suttle. Also, the longer you keep it on the hair, the more color you get. Ps: don't exceed over 1hr. I honestly wouldn't even go over that. Hope this helps

I love the venetian... i use it alone and mix it with the dark. It fades even and natural. I always make sure and exfoliate before and shower and use ph balancer i use the xlatan by norvell. And after make sure it keeps moisturized. My clients love the venetian!

I'm not sure. I still haven't finished my tube. A little goes a long way. I tend put a drop glob onto a tiny ceramic plate I have for cosmetics. I dab the brush into it, apply to hair, repeat. If I have a whole "halo" showing, I need probably 3 blobs, the size of finger nail. If it's just the sides, then just one is enough. The consistency is liquid, probably a bit thinner than ketchup. I tend to use it as an emergency treatment when my grays are showing too much and I haven't had time to color my hair but maybe for 4 or 5 days, not longer, so I don't use it a huge amount. I am very very gray under there so there comes a point when it's quicker and easier to color my hair again. I'm not sure. I still haven't finished my tube. A little goes a long way.

I don't know. I use developer and kaleidocolors powder to lighten, then use t18. Unsure of how it would perform under different circumstances. Sorry.

I use Indigo. I don't like the brassy orange so now I'm toning it down with the Indigo. Then, use 3 - 4 times the Indigo as the Henna. Hope this helps.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well. It took three applications to mostly strip my hair but it was a yellow, brassy color and not the light blonde I was wanting. I would assume the black would be difficult to lift because it's so dark. But if you're not wanting to use bleach on your hair, I would suggest this product. Although, for me at least, it didn't work as well as I was hoping. I ended up just doing a soap cap (shampoo and bleach mixture) to get it blonde. I should also warn you that the smell of Pranana is extremely intense and can only be compared to a dog's fart. The smell lasts for multiple shampoos. Hope this is helpful! I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well.

The trickiest part, I think, is just trying to section your hair so you color just the roots and not the ends. If you can do that, you'll be fine. I've used this kit a handful of times now and the only thing I did once was get a bit darker ends than I wanted, but it was because the hair was short in that section. The colors come our very luminous, which I love.
