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

Sun Labs has been great. I've tried several other self-tanners that gave me an unnatural orange tint but in my opinion, the "tan" I get from this one is very close to the real thing! I first saw it on a YouTube review and I haven't found anything better since I started using it about a year and a half ago.

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

I have a darker brown hair that has a reddish tint to it naturally and my hair turned out beautifully. It is a dark reddish brown with dark red highlights. Mine did turn out about the color on the package. since your hair is lighter it should be a lighter result. They do have a variety of colors including different reds. Hope I helped somewhat.

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!

it wont lighten a lot, i was lucky enough to find dreamblond ultra lightening system, which was taken off store shelves, so i had to hunt it down online, an it will take you to like a very pale baby blond, an has an awsome conditioner with it, all the other dream blonds are no more then tonors, if you want a pale blond without much damage that is what works for me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Since level 4 color is pretty dark, I think you would use a low volume developer. Mix half and half.

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

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 used the "dark brown formula" and it just accents my dark brown hair; there is no red at all. They have different herbal formulas. order the one you want and read the instructions - if you add salt or vinegar, it will affect the results in different ways.

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.

I'm not entirely sure about the orange. I would recommend before spending this much, going to Sally's Beauty Supply and getting a small bottle of shimmer lights. The orange may be too much - it's typically to "tone down" brassiness. Good luck.

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.

This gives my gray a copper color, like highlights , ( I would not suggest it if you have a lot of gray in a concentrated area) which I like ...I also have it in the black(noir) and I will mix the two if I want less copper( not brass) Hope this helps

For a natural look I use a mix of 80% light ash (blond) and 20% light natural. This prevents my color to be in a too red or slightly greenish hue. I tried the medium, and my hair had a fake dyed look that was way too dark... So I suggest going lighter than you think you need.

Actually I have a dark brown hair so it's didn't effect on my hair but you can apply it just on the highlights by the brush this color is like a magic from yellow brassy to lightest ash tone I hope I helped you.

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.
