What strength is the developer in this kit and is there anything you can do to keep parts of your hair from turning orange in places instead of blond

I do not have this problem, have been using this product for years, am very satified with its performance

Its strong, but less than others. i put it on and wash it out pretty quickly. I have once-blonde hair turned naturally light brown, and just do the roots each time. No orange for 10 years now, may be because my hair isn't really dark to start.

Don't know about the strength right now but is all depends on the darkness of your hair. I am a dirty blonde so I don't have too many levels to go so I don't get much but you might if you are trying to go from a much darker color.

Sorry but it doesn't work that way. I had that happen to my hair also once at a salon but it was flat out orange! You'll need a stylist to help get those gold tones out or use a toner.

I used the 3 products in the starter kit and had fairly good results. I have alopecia and it flairs up once in a while.Also my hair is thick so the areas don't show. I am 71 and keep Nioxin onhand. I've used it for years;

No. It doesn't really do anything if you have darker hair. There is no bleach so it wouldn't turn your hair orange.

The different colors are made for different shades of hair color. The blonde/yellow/gold one helps to cover my roots in between highlights. It has a nice smell in my opinion. I've also used the original, the bottle has blue/green/yellow stripes but I don't really like the smell of it.

In my experience the answer's no. It's not that strong. It just keeps your blonde from getting brassy like sone of the harsher store shampoos do.

I love it, but my hair isn't colored. When used, it needs to be diluted--like a drop to a cup of water--the intensity of the orange smell lessens exponentially and becomes fragrant. I would think that if you can use hairspray, the much-diluted acetic acid in the product won't harm your color.

I'm not sure of what your asking about the kits, however, to find the appropriate system for your hair type go to nioxin.com and there you can select your hair type and it will tell you what works best. I use number 5 and works amazing on my hair.

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.

I know this is old, but for other people who may have this issue, try mixing crushed vitamin C with head and shoulders to make a paste. Apply to your head, cover with a plastic bag, leave it on for an hour, and then rinse for at least 10 minutes (necessary). Your hair may turn orangeish, but you can redye. I got out blue manic panic this way.

Unsure on the overlay, but have not heard of or seen anybody use this getting orange or green hair. Did you try using anoth product before this? That may have something to do with the green/orange.

You need liquid or creme developer to mix with this toner, that's it. Keep in mind that this is not a dye- it will not significantly change your hair color unless your hair is a very pale, pre-lightened blonde.

Yep! If you have long thick hair, get several kits though. It works on color treated hair like a snap, however the amount of powder is skimpy. I had shoulder length hair when I lightened and my hair is thin but I have a lot of it and I nearly needed two kits. That is my ONE complaint with this product. I had NO damage from it, I had NO problems with over drying or over processing, it lightened quickly, and it was excellent, just not enough powder. I do recommend putting on a shower cap (or a grocery store bag if you're poor like me) and wrapping your hair in a towel, it will process much faster. If you don't then you will get the over processing and over drying because it stays on too long. Just my two cents. Good luck!

YES!! Use a 20 developer; I use ION sensitive scalp (comes in dark purple bottle from Sally's Beauty Supply). Make sure you keep a constant eye on it as it may turn your hair purple if you leave it on too long! But this stuff will absolutely take the yellow out of your hair and leave it that "Barbie" white blonde :)

The higher the developer, the more it lightens your hair. If you have very dark hair, and want to achieve a bright red, you will need to use a 30 or 40 developer. I have light brown hair, and 20 gives me a nice bright red. Depending on how light your hair is, my advice would be to start with 20 and then go up to 30 next time if it isn't as bright as you would like. The reason for this being, the higher the number of the developer, the more damaging it is to your hair.

really so good product , i love it more than moracon kit .. and also, its not gonna make your hair straight .. it just gonna get out of the puff and make his sensation so beautifull .. unless your hair is wavey or silkey its gonna straight it little bit more .. give it a tray .. its really good treatment

This kit actually says it is for color treated hair. I'm very happy with the results from using this product. I will suggest that buyers use the entire system, all three products give good results. My hair is healthy and all thin spots have filled in.
