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

Cesar M., how long it lasts depends on the size of the area that you're trying to cover as well as the frequency of use. I've actually been using the same bottle for a few months now. I definitely recommend it though.

My experience has been that frequent washing, perspiring,heavy brushing and the amount of gray I have makes a difference. The formula only covers the hair and doesn't penetrate. Therefore the areas that get wet, around the hairline loses the color first. However, it's easy to touch up.

I keep it on until it starts to burn or gets frosty. Probably 1-3 min. It depends on the,area of my face.

I think it should work well for gray hair! It is a great moisturizing conditioner. I left mine on for like 30 mins as is my habit with conditioners. I am gray just a random strand or two. So I wanna do a disclaimer lol. It's just a guess but its a good conditioner.

I found it works better with NO hydrogen peroxide! I tried it with and without, and now I use it straight from the tube, leave on for 15 minutes, and wipe off gently with a damp cotton ball, and then a clean cotton ball. I use it to dye my eyelashes. It turned out much darker without the hydrogen peroxide. NO, I did not go blind. Lol! Also, the $12 is a great savings over going to the salon every 7 weeks or so and getting them done for $25 & spending the time. I love it!

I simply cover the area with a visible coating--it disappears in a few minutes. It doesn't stain in my experience.

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

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.

When i use this product, I apply in one long streak at a time, then give it like ten seconds and then wipe the streak alittle. Do this in front of a long mirror so that you can make sure the color is even. You need to repeat until you get the look you want, you should wear gloves to protect your hands and nails from discoloration. This process takes time and patience. Good luck

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.

Well that depends on such things as density of coverage and frequency of use. It does not take a whole lot of juice to create a fairly dense fog. And since your fogging from up wind and letting it drift you get fairly good coverage. For me here in Spring TX once a week use kept the mosquitoes and fly's down. I'm still working on my first 1/2 gal. BTW this stuff does a real good job.

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

This question sounds to me like you are NOT a professional Cosmetologist. THIS QUESTION DOES NOT INDICATE WHAT "WORKING VOLUME" OF PEROXIDE YOU WILL BE MIXING THIS BLEACH POWDER WITH... You need to be VERY CAREFUL when you USE or APPLY PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS like this. Chemicals like bleach CAN BURN someone's head, IF YOU ARE APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE SCALP, and if they have had STIMULANTS LIKE COFFEE or SUGAR within/prior to two or three days BEFORE application. DO NOT OVERLAP DURING APPLICATION, THIS CAN CAUSE THE HAIR TO BREAK OFF! You should be able to SEE what is going on THROUGH A CLEAR PLASTIC CAP, when you have bleach on anyone's hair. You need to shampoo the bleach off when it looks just a couple of shades DARKER than the lightness that you ultimately want the hair to be. If the hair looks light while wet, it's going to BE even lighter when it dries. BE VERY CAREFUL! IF THE HAIR GETS TOO WHITE, IT WILL TURN TO "MUSH" AND FALL OFF!

3-4 hours is what I would recommend. Also keeping it covered in plastic and warm. Sit in the sun or warm with a dryer or warm towels periodically. Speeds the process and helps promote richer color

Personally, I wouldn't use it on 75% gray. It does cover gray, however it is a very strong dye.

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.
