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.

Yes, you need to use it with the color cream, 1:1 same amount of color cream equal the same amount of the activation liquid. If you need a dark color use the 10% , and if you want it lighter use the 20%. I hope I answered your question. It's great product.

The higher the volume the lighter/brighter the shade of highlight. It just depends on your desired result. I wanted a vibrant red so I started off with 30 vol on my med/dark brown hair and it it came out nice but not the level of brightness I wanted. I ended up going back over it with a 40 vol to high light even more which came out really nice but dried out my previously highlighted hair. So my suggestion would be to go with the highest volume and then if it comes out too light you can always use a darker red stain to maintain afterward since this color requires maintenance with a semi permanent or temporary red anyways. That will save reprocessing time and possible damage from over processing. My hair came out really soft and healthy after the initial process. Hope that helps

it is a hair dye. it is used with the developer product, and I'm not an expert but the stronger the developer, the more life you'll get. keep in mind that when you lift, hair tends to get a reddish tint. But of all the hair colors, pravana has the best options for non-brassy colors if that's not what you want. just choose the color carefully. I love this brand.

I have very long, thick, dark hair and 1 packet (100g) was enough. Realize that you also need Henna powder to finish your dying process. Make sure you leave the paste in for at least as long as the directions say. Because this is natural, leaving it in your hair longer will not damage your hair, it will only make the dye stronger.

Personally, I like the Pravana dyes much more. The color stays vibrant much longer for me (pretty much no touch-ups between my monthly new growth dying sessions), and is very, very pigmented (even diluted with conditioner the colors are very rich). There isn't much bleeding at all, and I certainly don't miss having purple hands/nails/pillowcases....

This worked for me on my hennaed hair! I only use 100% lab tested henna and some indigo and cassia. After 2 applications I've gone from deep cherry ends to medium coppery ends and my roots are almost back to my original color with just a slight coppery tint. I'm going to try 2 more applications to try to even out the roots and ends.

As I have told others with questions, I am not a professional colorist. I just was trying to achieve purple hair on bleached hair. I liked the Elumen color as, unlike other products, it covered the bleached roots very well.

1 to 1, one tube is 2 oz. so 2 oz. to 2 oz. developer. for just a little touch-up, 1oz. to 1oz. opened color tube lasts for lasts a long time when lid is put back on promptly.

Hey Gary, you need the developer to mix with Chrystal Clear, Crystal clear alone won't do much to your clients hair.... just so you know Crystal clear can be used by it self or mixed with a toner to get a better gloss. Basically crystal clear plus the developer applied to you hair it's like applying a clear coat of polish to your fingernails. hope this helps.

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

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

Dont really know what you are trying to accomplish. I use primarilly for OTC hair color since most the the OTC medium browncolor has WAY to much brassiness. This tones the copper or red tones down dramatically. I add 10 drops to my hair color priorto mixing all together. Hope that helps

I don't really understand your question. This particular item is a processing solution. It is used with Redken Eq, demi permanent hair dye. If you use it alone, it won't do anything. It is 20 developer, but is specifically designed to be used with the Redken demi color. I hope that helps. The Redken Eq, is not semi dye. It is a demi dye, which means that it goes into the hair follicle,not on top of the hair, like semi hair color. The color lasts a longer time, than a semi dye. Infact, I don't believe that Redken makes a semi color anymore. I hope that helps. Anymore questions, I will try to help out the best I can:) I don't really understand your question.

(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 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.
