How is that at covering gray with 10 vol peroxide? How long do you have to leave on for best gray coverage results?
88148
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 have the opi light and I usually just do 30 sec for each coat, then once I put the top coat on, I change the setting to 1 min, then done!

if you use the healthy look formula with no peroxide and just apply as a touch up, you should be just fine!! i still did the overall 5 min dose at the end to blend with no problems.

This product is very easy to use.I shampoo and condition my hair with my regular products.Then apply the Brilliant Brunette color glaze. I usually wait about 3 to 5 minutes while finishing up my shower before rinsing it out.The amount you use depends on how much gray you need to cover.

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 usually start in the front, where my hair is more gray. To make sure you get it all over, it is best to apply in sections. I start at the root of each section and massage to the ends. After you are done, Make sure you have massaged it in thoroughly. Then time it from 20 to 30 min. It really depends on how deep you want the color. I have a lot of yellow in my gray, so I leave it an hour. You can check it after 20 min and then go from there. Then you just rinse it out. I always shampoo first, then apply the color, then I apply my conditioner last. Make sure you rinse very well on the Born Blonde. It is very easy to use.

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

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'm assuming since your hair is lighter, the color of the spray will show up more easily, meaning it will take only a couple of pumps. the thing is, the product is difficult to distribute evenly throughout hair. i think using a hair dye for grays would be more effective, but that's just my opinion.

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.

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.

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!

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'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.

Sammy said to use less developer for grey coverage. Does anyone know how much less? Should I also increase processing time and/or add heat to processing? Thanks.

Lacee, it works on my blonde hair, I have roots too and I've never seen any gray or white residue. It goes on matte and you just work it thru and brush your hair well afterwards.

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!
