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

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

3 drops of peroxide per small dollop of dye must be a paste consistency not running so that it does not get into the eye.Leave 7-10 or a little longer for desired intensity of color the longer you leave it the more that it grabs.

you probably don't need to use High peroxide a 20 volume will do, just to get it at least pale yellow

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.

Depends on how long you let it run. If you are running the batch for just a couple hours it will be mostly clear with a tad bit of a haze- if you let it go for 4 hours or more it starts to get that amber-ish color because of the higher silver content of the H20. I love this kit! I usually let mine process for 6- 12 hours.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

Please don't use 50 volume developer, it might work fast, but it could melt your hair off, and burn your head leaving bald spots. . Just bleach with 30 volume twice. Especially if you plan on going bright red and not platinum blonde, which is a whole different ordeal

Apply color in bottle to dry hair. Use gloves included in pkg. (no mixing) Cover hair with plastic bag included in pkg. leave on 20-40 min. depending how much gray you have, or if you want darker results. Then rinse hair with water until water is clear. 'Apply conditioner that is included in pkg, wait 2 minutes and then rinse again. you are done. style hair as you normally would. PW

I apply after cleansing and conditioning. I use a towel to squeeze excess water out of my hair then, since I have found that this stains the palms of my hands, I put on food service gloves. I shake the glaze and put some in the palm of one hand and use the fingers of my other hand to apply. I start with where I have the most gray and then add more and apply all over. I leave it on for about 10 minutes then rinse until water runs clear.

Hi Lucysmom....This is one reason why I like this hair color. It does a great job of covering my gray hair. Hope it works just as well for you!

I would use 2 packages, just to be on the safe side. Also make sure to leave on for at least 2-3 hours and have a spray bottle of water to keep your hair damp during that time. I love this stuff, no more chemicals to keep my hair gray free:)

about 1x/month - once there are too many grays to 'powder' spray over. Sometimes I stretch it to 6 weeks. I'm not too regimented about doing it - I'd rather use it than spend tedious time in a salon. : -}

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

Very few over the counter brow tints are going to be able to fully cover grey hair but if you're doing this on yourself and can reapply every week or so then you should get decent coverage. I'm an esthetician and use this in my salon. My clients who come in about once a month for tinting have all been very pleased with this product.

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.

not enough for totally gray. I would get the spray on color. It totally covers and washes out. I can't remember the name but most salons carry those spray on colors
