How is that at covering gray with 10 vol peroxide? How long do you have to leave on for best gray coverage results?

the formula given to me by my daughter who is a hairdress in another state is 1 oz #7 1/4 oz #6.45 and 1 1/2oz of 20 vol developer. My hair turns out medium brown hair with some red hight lights. The front of my head is all gray and it covers it well. I leave it on for 25 minutes. I do just the roots then in the last five minutes i rub it through my whole head. Good luck.

I use no lift (0 developer) and actually get some grey coverage. My guess is that 20 would be better. Or you could try 10.

Was wondering how you pick the developer? My mom had her hair colored at a salon here, and wants to do her own at home. So I got the color but I dont know what kind of developer to buy. She is all grey

Yes you can use it for just your roots but it pretty expensive to use that way but I do my roots first to cover the grey and then you can decide how long to leave it on the rest of your hair. I do 20 minutes on the roots and 10 on the rest but I have quite a bit of grey and I like mine a little dark. You could always do roots and then take it off of the rest of your hair after 5 minutes. Or just use it on your roots. This is the only kind of color that I have found that covers the grey and blends with the rest of my hair without the color difference. Great product for me.

This product is great to cover up gray in between hair appts. Ingredients do not say alcohol. I highly recommend it. I only spray where roots show after I style my hair. I don't have to use a lot.

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

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.

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 used black for my full size F350, it required a gallon and 1 quart. I would expect the same coverage from gray. GREAT stuff by the way!

Hi, I think it also depends on if you just have it on for humidity or if you have it on as diffuser. I have never had it 10/12 hours or if I did, very rarely. I had a regular diffuser that I bought not from amazon and that one truly lasts. its called the premium whisper diffuser off abundanthealth. This one is ok, but isn't exactly how I would have wanted it to work. takes more ti fill and clean where as the other one I had was quite a sinch. Anyway, sometimes the wate lasts a bit longer than 3 hours, but rarely the 10/12 hours. Maybe I am doing something wrong on my end. Hope I helped some.

about 1x/month - once there are too many grays to 'powder' spray over. Sometimes I stretch it to 6 weeks. I'm not too regimented about doing it - I'd rather use it than spend tedious time in a salon. : -}

I don't have experience with black hair as mine is a redish blonde. I have always treated my entire head with special attention to application around the sides and sideburn area as this is where my gray hair shows more than on top. Once you apply the creme on a daily basis and your hair begins to lose the gray, I only apply a couple of times a week or sometimes less to allow some gray to mix in. I want to avoid the appearance of a "dye job". This product is a great way to keep the gray from taking over without totally eliminating the gray.

After shampooing and conditioning hair. Wring out excess water from hair. Apply color glaze with gloves. Saturate hair with product and leave on for at least 15 minutes. Rinse and use styling products as usual. I've been using this for over 10 years and always get great results. Can use everytime you wash but probably not more than a couple times a week. People compliment me on the color of my hair all the time. It covers the gray and adds a auburn shade to my hair color. Just love it.

It did not cover your roots because it is not a good product for covering roots. This is basically what I said in my review of the product. It is not good for stubborn gray. You need to find something else. A tip - if you have tough grays to cover, you can leave the die on them for up to 45 minutes. The longer you leave the die on, the better. Just try not to exceed 45 minutes.

I like the stuff! I was skeptical - but it works very well and is not caustic! As for coverage: that is hard to say. It think it will depend on the material(s) being removed i.e. thickness, age, and what it is... But, I would let the stuff sit for a bit - to do its magic. I found that applying it and then going back over it 15 mins later with a dabbing or swirling style with a throw-away brush worked best. In applying, more is not necessarily better. Patients is best... Hope that helps!! lv

I would use 2 packages, just to be on the safe side. Also make sure to leave on for at least 2-3 hours and have a spray bottle of water to keep your hair damp during that time. I love this stuff, no more chemicals to keep my hair gray free:)

Yes, definitely! Leave it on for a good 5-10 minutes and results are better. :)

3-4 hours is what I would recommend. Also keeping it covered in plastic and warm. Sit in the sun or warm with a dryer or warm towels periodically. Speeds the process and helps promote richer color

I leave mine on for at least one hour. You can leave it on longer if you like, but some people complain of it causing sensitivity (ie; teeth "tender" to cold liquids etc. I have a friend who leaves it on overnight.) I've never had any problems with cold sensitivity myself and I've left it on for as long as 3 hrs. before. I don't think it'll make your teeth any whiter after an hour, or so......it's done its job and the potency has fizzled out. One thing I have noticed is DON'T eat anything with strong color after you've used this product. Like carrots or wine....I did my usual treatment, brushed my teeth then ate some carrots....then went to put my makeup on and freaked as my teeth were very orange! It came off pretty quick with another brushing...still...freaky.
