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 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.

Hi there..actually, I don't ever leave it on for it to get red...For me, I leave on for approx. 10-12 min. I've been use to this and I am Hispanic. I tend to wash with cool water and I can tell rather quickly I have a 'glow'. Now, about the 2nd or 3rd day, I am peeling just a bit. Not a lot, but a little exfoliation does take place. I hope this works for you. In fact, I have one more application and I need to order some more.

I am having the same issue and I tried different things like using a hot blow dryer every 5-ten minutes so the color can take on the grays,I also tried leaving it on longer and also adding sage to the mix,using hrgrogen peroxide beforehand to soften the gray hair. I read all their instructions and although it did leave my hair nice and shiny it did not cover most of my grays and I will not be using this product ever again. i tries 4 times so i just give up and will try Tints of Nature next.

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

It does cover gray really good, is not chemical free, read the i greadients list. How long it last depends in the water quality where you live i have a headshower to help it last longer.

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!

No - elumen isnt meant to cover gray. You'd have to cover your roots first with a permanent color then apply elumen all over. Just know that elumen is best on clean, dry hair. So do your roots then apply elumen possibly following day/night. I've used elumen for almost ten years now. If you follow the entire process with lock and wash, it's a fantastic line. It's a direct dye. Good luck!

Seriously, I have been using this stuff for years. It does a great job of partially covering the grey. You don't get that "painted on" look that you get from professional salons. It may take you a few tries to get it exactly how you want it, but you will love the stuff. Just don't leave it on too long the first time. You will want to reapply after about 3 1/2 weeks. Also, this material will stain your bath tile if you leave it on too long. So clean up after yourself.

Do you mean fully gray??? I have plenty of gray but am not totally gray, so I tint my hair 2 weeks before the perm so that I have even color. The perm will fade it but it works better. I have used this perm for 20 years and it is/was wonderful!!! They took this one off the market and put out a new and improved one. I am not impressed and was happy to find the "old" one on Amazon. It is a great perm!

I would suggest mousse, that way you are assured better coverage.Editing to add: I used the rinse a handful of times before giving up on it, and switching products to a mousse temporary dye.

I like the stuff! I was skeptical - but it works very well and is not caustic! As for coverage: that is hard to say. It think it will depend on the material(s) being removed i.e. thickness, age, and what it is... But, I would let the stuff sit for a bit - to do its magic. I found that applying it and then going back over it 15 mins later with a dabbing or swirling style with a throw-away brush worked best. In applying, more is not necessarily better. Patients is best... Hope that helps!! lv

It covered my gray. It lasts as long as loving care did.....but that depends how often you wash your hair. I get rid of my gray every couple of months.

I used black for my full size F350, it required a gallon and 1 quart. I would expect the same coverage from gray. GREAT stuff by the way!

U have to clean and prep according to theInstructions. Did it in grey and have had multiple compliments of how nice it turned out. I even stretched the recommended coverage, made a gallon work for a 12` jonboat. Covered the bottom and sides with this great non skid durable coating.

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.

If you want to cover grey, I would suggest doing a darker color (try to match your original color), and mix in the copper. I use a whole bottle of golden brown and about 1/3 to half a bottle of copper.
