How long do you leave the color mixed with developer in your hair?

I have grey hair and leave it in for 40 minutes. You can leave it in up to 60 minutes--after that length of time it will stop processing.

Apply to roots first, leave it in your hair longer, and/or put on a plastic shower cap and apply heat from a dryer, but make sure you don't sweat. If those don't work, use 30 developer and know that it will be a lighter color.

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!!

Depends how much gray you have. Beware that the grey will pick up the red exclusively/ If you use RED henna, the drk brown is beautiful with red shading. But if you are grey you need to go 1 shade deeper, like chestnut. I used the RED on my daughters dark brown hair [ long] and she got a ton of compliments. If you are a little worried about to much red, just mix the henna with strong coffee, which is what I used to do when I worked in a salon . Henna does not lighten your hair, it only deposits color. Also the timing determines how bright it is. Keep the color on for only 45 minutes . Another factor is mixing the color and letting it set. If you mix and let it set for 1 1/2 to 3 hours before applying, your color will be redder. So if you mix the RED with strong lukewarm coffee and apply it to WET hair , let it set on your hair with a bag for 45 minutes , than rinse out, apply conditioner like it is shampoo[ this will help it set and will still clean your hair] you will have a knockout gorgeous color that will NOT be too red. Just some tips from someone that has done this many times[ still a successful hairdresser too.]Would love to hear how your hair looks afterwards!

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

Honestly I'm not sure I would leave mine in for 15 mins 30 max. What type of hair do you have and what ethic are you ? I think this is mainly for black people's hair.

Hi, I bought it for my friends. They dye the hair for 1hr. It seems not enough at all. According to someone who used these products before, It should be 4hrs.

I have used the dark brown coloring on my hair which is approximately 25-30% gray. It covers the gray thoroughly. I do leave the product on for 30 minutes, which is longer than the directions recommend. Even with leaving it on for that length of time, my hair is soft and undamaged by the coloring.

I leave it in my hair for about 20 min. After i rinse, I use Healthy Sexy hair's Color protecting conditioner and any dryness from the shampoo is gone. The longer you leave it in, the more vivid the results will be.

After shampooing hair, towel dry it, then distribute foam throughout hair. Leave on 5-15 minutes (or longer if you want, you can put a shower cap on while it's in) then rinse it out, and use conditioner as usual. It's a semi-permanent color (unless a dark color is used on light hair, then it would be more permanent and probably never fade completely). But if you use the violet to take out brassiness in blonde hair like I do, then use probably once a month or so. I have used after dying hair with a box color and once after a salon coloring when the blonde was a little too yellow, and I've used on my natural blonde hair as well.

It works well and it is not too light. Its darker than a strawberry blonde. My hair is really fine and shorter than yours and I use half of a box each time. I would say a full box would be plenty for you. Here's a tip....when you mix it, let it sit for at least 90 minutes before putting it on your hair. Then you don't have to leave it on as long. I have lots of gray to cover so I leave it in about 45 mins after letting it sit for 90. Sorry I can't explain the color better....but I really like it.

0n virgin hair? Try it on a strand. First try 20 mins. 0n the other side, leave it on the (underneath) strand for 45 min. [BTW, the color turns out fuchsia pink.]

You create a mixture of your liking there are many ways to incorporate this powder with other ingredients, such as hot water and oil. Once you have applied all the ingredients you let it sit overnight and put it on the next day. Mind you, it can be messy. Once applied leave it on 4 hours or more. Left mine on overnight...Rinse out the next day and make sure you deep condition because your hair will feel a lil dry...

I use H60. I leave it on for 25 minutes to get the golden blonde. It gets lighter the longer you leave it on. If you left it on the whole 35 minutes, it will be a whiter shade of blonde.

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.

Okay leave it on as long as you can stand it, at least 3 hours.I recommend Henna sooq henna . You have to let the dye release but I could see on my grey hairs a vibrant red color.The henna maiden washed out very easily, you will see it in the water each time you shampoo your hair.

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
