I agree with the two other answers. I've been dying my hair to cover gray and I've been using the 20VOL, getting perfect coverage. I use one part color, one part developer.

It says to use 30 but it depends on the results you want. I used a 40 because I wanted it to go from a dark dark brown to a super fire red which worked great but also more damaging to your hair, you can use the 20 it's just a slower turning process but it's less damaging

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

Hi! I like using index 1 because I have found that after using index 2 for about a year, I didn't need it any longer. Seems like my hair needs only the milder 1 now and it also goes longer between touch-ups. I love this product, I finally love my hair!

This hair is no good...i guess thats why its 2 for 1.... it doesn't curl its frizzy at the ends after a couple of days. Trust me when i say don't buy....i have tried so many different blends, protein hair and i keep going back to the same thing, i would make a suggestion, but i won't dont buy this crap it will just make you mad... i don't know why companies make such trashy hair and then sell it like its so good. synthetic o, protein or human hair...no one wants hair that doesnt do what its suppose to do

I applied it to dry hair. Ready for a hair wash hair. I use warm water & milk to mix mine. I use Vaseline around my hairline. I start edges to crown when applying. I have wrapped in plastic wrap. I removed after 2 hours. My hair is passed my mid back so it let it sit an additional 4 hour w/o wrap. Yes. Your hair will be hard after rinse but once you applied a moisturizing conditioner you will be fine. I have been using the Lush brand. They're pretty much the same to me except Lush is in blocks & has coco butter added. This is a powder easier to mix.

I'm not sure why it's taking long to come but I advise you to cancel your order cause that hair isn't 100% human hair it's partially human partial synthetic after I got the hair sewn in, it began to shed & when I tried to curl it the hair melted I'm allergic to synthetic so I also had an allergic reactions to that weave "but I wrote my review before having the hair put in" I went off the look of the hair thinking it was good hair but it's the worst hair ever...! Get your hair from Queen Hair they are one of the vendors on Amazon

I'm not sure either, but I just looked at my bottles of Nioxin which have the number 5 on them. It mentions they are for "medium to coarse hair" and also "Normal to Thin-looking" hair. Looks like they counteract each other. Our hair doesn't seem to fit what these bottles say. When we ordered them, we didn't know there were so many different formulas. I guess we should have done a little research before we bought them. Hope this helps a little. Marilyn

I looked and looked on box and could not tell if it was a authentic Iso. I swear by Iso perms and have always had great luck with them. Since I let my cosmo. license expire, I ordered one on line. It came out terrible. I was not sure if I left it on too long or if my hair is that damaged. I wondered myself if these were not the real deal. Like I said, even damaged hair, I always got a good perm with Iso, so I don't know. Sorry, I'm not much help.

I believe each Costco stocks some items that others do not, and I've witnessed different pricing too. It's actually Cheaper to buy the Costco Minoxidil online and you have a choice of 2% or 5%. I used to buy the 2% at the pharmacy counter ($11 to $14), then they raised the price and had it out there in the pharmacy - section where we can help ourselves. I listen to the "Dr Radio show" on Sirius X channel 81, they say it's ok for a woman to use Minoxidil 5% even though the package says that 5% is for men. I didn't mind the 2% because my hair style was not affected by the liquid. Now the 5% makes my hair look greasy, so I only use it before I go to bed & then wash my hair in the morning. As far as expiration dates, I'm just sure not to buy anything expired, but if it expires in your home, only you know if it's been in extreme heat or cold, you'd have to do some research on that. A doctor told me that pills are good for 10 years, and I believe if you have them sealed, they could last for many years. I hope this information helps, thanks for asking.

Hi Rita, my hair dresser suggested It's a 10 to me about 1 year ago and I have color treated hair. This is the best line of products I have used in years.

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

hi how are you I just recently tried this product..the only reason why I tried this Friday it was I was about to do surgery and was told to try this first ihave long hair and even with the long hair it can still be seen this product does not blend in with your skin and there's not a makeup that you can put over it that will make it look like your skinunless you have a short hairstyle that will cover the size of your face your ears your neck it will not work ..I think this product is for short term use for an evening out or if you are a performer print that and that's about it if you're like me and want long term results this product is definitely not for you..and wearing this I am very aware of how I turn my head how my hair is covering it is just not good for me so I guess it has a lot to do but your use is for take care God bless

It's really good; you just described my hair type. My hair looks great when I use this stuff. Also, no need to use too much because it defeats the purpose! Hope this helps! :)

I have Moroccanoil and regret buying it because it is crap. It's almost entirely silicone. Dousing your hair with silicone will look good in the short term but can damage your hair and scalp in the long term, something I've already done by foolishly purchasing and using loads of silicone laden products and am now in the process of trying to fix. There's only a small bit of oil in Moroccanoil which is absurd considering what they charge for it. Contrary to Ulta's faulty ingredient listing there is no silicone in Diamond Oil and that makes it MUCH better.

Just wanted to add my $0.02, i've always used this henna, because i love the looked and feel of my hair post treatment. I also suffered the same intense annoying breakage and dry hair (despite deep conditioning). I usually mixed mine with just lemon juice (cause i thought it made the color better). However, during my last use, i forgot to mix with LJ, and used distilled water + 1 tbsp of LJ. Although i did not get the luxurious color and soft thick texture, there was absolutely no breakage. My hair turned out great. I also added olive oil to my deep conditioner this time around. Maybe it was the olive oil in deep conditioner or the dash of LJ in the henna mix, i'm not sure.

I recommend using a 30 or 40 level developer. if you use a 30 volume developer then you have to leave the bleach on your hair longer vs a 40 can be more damaging but you leave it on for less time. 40 is designed for non virgin hair...its harsh but effective. be sure to wrap your head in a shower cap or plastic and apply heat to speed up the processing time
