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

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.

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.

You probably need something different than I have. I use 20 volume peroxide with the color -equal amounts. However I am using a darker color. Now I am practically white but I've always done it this way-still works. Not sure about lightening.

My hair grows fast, so an application lasts me about 3-4 weeks, much like other hair dyes. If you leave the surya in your hair long enough when applying, it does a very good job of covering gray. I've not had problems with fading so much as my hair growing out. (I use black). Oh! there is a little bit that rubs off on pillowcases and the top of my white blouses, but not much. I try to really rinse well and I wash my hair a couple of times per week.

I just splat a whole bit of it on top over my wet hair after I shampoo and comb it through. Most of it washes out after the first shampoo. I just repeat. The color I'm using is close to my own color . . . it pretty much just covers the gray for me . . . nothing too dramatic.

You can certainly mix the henna together with the indigo and adjust the ratio for your desired color. It will still cover the gray, but the 2-step process provides better coverage. I find that whichever procedure I choose, the gray roots start to emerge after 3 or 4 weeks.

Yes this definitely works to cover gray. It brushes on easily. I recommend this product.

works on my graying hair. I am about 60/40 light brown/gray and it covers gray and lightens well.

Not completely cover gray hair, maybe a70% and remained for 5 to 6 shampoos.For me it is definitely less effective than loving care.

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!

I have gray so I do it every 4 weeks to cover outgrowth but it lasts well for me. I do not use shampoo with sodium laurel sulfate which strip the color and I don't wash my hair everyday but overall, I really like this product.

this toner doesnt really "cover," so it will only neutralize your gray. it will very much lessen the gold! it might be a little on with light gray/ platinum side depending on what color hair your starting with

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 have used this product for 20 years. For me it covers my gray and highlights the rest of my hair. I like it as it is a Demi permanent product. No awful smell or burning of the scalp. You pick your hair color and it will change your hair color. The clear gloss just accentuates your own hair.

U have to clean and prep according to the Instructions. Did it in grey and have had multiple compliments of how nice it turned out. I even stretched the recommended coverage, made a gallon work for a 12` jonboat. Covered the bottom and sides with this great non skid durable coating.

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.
