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.

I have short hair so it is enough with 1 tube (2.1 oz) of Igora. In order to use it I mix it with 2oz of Developer #20. You can use any brand of developer but I like the Clairol brand that you get at Sally's

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

For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver. (But I use SPLAT kit, their bleach is super amazing, my hair always got burned even just for 5 mins with other bleaches but with splat bleach I left for 1 hour and my hair doesn't have any problems^^) 2nd thing you need to know, The Pravana is not permanent color.my experience was that After 8or10 shampoos the colors get faded (with splat it's the same cause the both are not permanent) I hope you will have the color you want. Good luck. And share if you know how to get grey smokey hair color please. For this color you don't have to I think !!! Because I'm having purple hair right now since I couldn't have mine silver.

I would do the 40 developer. I kit is probably all that you need because it's a lot and it works pretty fast. If you just feel like getting 2 kits, you can do one as a back-up or use it later when you color your hair again.

I use the non-tinted tube. I assume you are using the tinted version. I believe there are two shades of that NHD. Do you have the right shade for your skin tone? I sometimes will put the amount in my palm and let it warm up and it becomes easier to spread.

Both can be used for this developer. I personally had a creme permanent color and it shows perfectly

There are not directions on the packaging and I have absolutely no beauty training so I advise this only as what works best for me; I typically use about a pea sized amount of dye to about three - five drops of developer. I find it works best when it's still thick because it stays better on my lashes and brows, about the consistency of lotion or toothpaste. I also make sure to mix them well so that all of the dye is exposed to the developer. When I first started using this product, I was also very concerned about this ratio but have found that it's not really an exact science and if you're off a little bit you will still achieve the same results.

The quick answer I have is that it depends on two things: what color your hair is now, & how you prepare the henna. I highly recommend the techniques in this free henna book pdf.(maybe skip the first part which is history, the good stuff is a little ways down) http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/hennaforhair.pdf I have used the technique twice now and am not at all disappointed like I have been with past hennas where I just boiled the water etc... Anyway, they will show you before and after pics of different types and colors of hair which helps a lot! Plus the lemon juice overnight thing works so well, my hair has stayed so well since I did it with this Silk and Stone (but I did a mix cus I have dark hair and wanted more dark auburn) I still get compliments, so this particular powder should do you very well assuming you use a good technique. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me =)

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

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.

You use this just as you would any other hair color. Use the amount needed to completely cover your full head of hair, saturating your hair like any other hair dye for rich color. I have short hair so I use maybe an inch or two of the tube but you may need more depending on the length of your hair.

My hair is almost passed my boobs I would use 2 bottles just to be safe! But I use two bottles because I mixed the color together, it's a pretty good amount of hair dye for one tube, but be safe than sorry and get two :)

Hello Suzie, My hair is about 60% gray and becomes frizzy when color burns it therefore that is why I use this Chromatics developer which is a conditioning developer. I use 9NW color to blend best with gray hair so the roots don't show immediately. I'm a blonde without bleaching thanks to REDKEN. I have salons trying to have me change to other products and it had been a long time before I found this product that works so great. I will never leave REDKEN again. YOu can view information on their website although if your not a professional you wont be able to purchase from them. I let my license expire so I buy from ebay and actually have found REDKEN is cheaper on ebay then anywhere else. Good Luck! hope this helps you!

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!

yes. to lift and apply color use any good 20 volume developer. to lay down color only on light hair use 10 volume developer. if there a lot of grey you may want to choose a 20 v0oume developer such as grey be gone. good luck

I mix a few drops with the developer when I color my hair. Excellent product.
