this is the most beautiful hair color Sylvia has ever had to me, hair looks healthy, not brassy, not overly ashy, with movement, it's my dream color and the healthiest I've seen on her
Thank you for explaining so clearly and for being so natural which is rare to see these days especially from someone as pretty as you. God bless you dear sister and yr family.
Danica Palafox usually its a 1:2 ratio so one 1ml of bleach will require 2 ml of developer, but check the directions. all bleaches and dyes will provide a ratio either on the packaging or in the instructions
The only video i found helpful and calming. Thank you! I bought a 20 volume accidently without realizing i needed 10 volume one.. but im glad i can use it!
I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've used box color for 30 + years as my natural blond color started getting darker. I started frosting it. Then went to foil always selecting close to my natural pale blond. After a few brassy problems we decided to switch to a cooler toner. I noticed I was able to go longer before noticing roots so I decided to just stop coloring my hair. It's has been almost 9 months and all color is gone after about 6 haircuts. My natural color is now almost white but more of a 'creamy' white. I wanted to do some low lights just to break up the solid white and my stylist talked me out of it!!. She said I should be thrilled not to have to worry about color fading or root touch ups anymore. what would you or your subscribers do?? I am 68 and am OK with getting old but not OK looking old!!
I’ve been watching you for years it’s crazy. Love your videos. Sorry if this was said but I didn’t hear you mention the difference in percentage to the volume?
Shes a hairdresser/cosmetologist and spent hours in school. Not everyone is going to get it in a few videos. She knows what she talking about. Thats why she's a cosmetologist.
I am over 50 percent gray. I was using 20 volume and getting very brassy results. (Revlon Colorsilk 5A) My natural hair was a mix of 4/5/6 - a light-medium brown with some natural blonde highlights. I only dye my roots. (For several years I was using Colorsilk with 10 volume. I think I was still getting brassiness) Anyway, I got sick of the brassiness and on a whim tried Clairol Natural Instincts 5A. (demi-permanent) I blamed the brassiness on the peroxide. To my surprise it covered the gray roots and no brassiness. It's been a month and it hasn't washed out. My hair in front is cut short with winged bangs and layers. It will probably be cut before it fades completely. (I used a permanent NN in the back where my hair is long) The demi-permanent even covered the stubborn gray behind my ears. I had missed that spot with my permanent NN, so I dabbed Natural Instincts on it. I didn't think it would take there but it did. I believe the Natural Instincts "activator" is 6 Volume peroxide. I assume the brassiness was prevented due to the low peroxide volume in the "activator". I also noted there were other ingredients in the activator that are not present in my 20 volume developer and vice-versa. I'm wondering if I could use a half and half mix of 5 and 10 Volume developer with permanent dye and still have the same results?
finaly I found a person who perfectly explain about developers and a way to understand all about it.thank you now I know little more.. I hope I don't mest up my own hair,which is natural black.and love the blonde highlights😑
the whole video is well, how you avoid it! lol! :) you need to use 20 volume if (per her example) you are blonde and you want to darken your hair a shade or 2 darker. don't use a 20!! there is no point bc it will brighten it (ie: you will get orange/brassy hair!!!) so use a 10 instead!! FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS TO AVOID ORANGE HAIR. This video is just saying, you need to use the right tools and use them/mix them by following the directions or else you'll get orange hair. To avoid orange hair you need to use the correct level of developer, with the right combination for your hair type/the look you are trying to achieve. If you go against these directions, for example, using a 40 volume rather than the correct 10 vol when you just wanted to dye your hair darker. It is just like any other thing in life. You need to follow the directions when you bake a cake..... or else it could burn and catch on fire. or your bundt cake sinks. lol. Hair is no different. Mix your color with the correct developer number or you'll get orange hair. It's that simple. It's chemicals on your hair! Chemistry :)
Marah is spot on. It is chemistry. Thats why people go to their hairdresser. Its not easy for people to learn in a couple videos. But she knows what shes talking about.
I had a perm a few months ago and my stylist just wants to darken my hair.. I'm naturally a 6... The perm left my hair a pretty shade of orange..I'm wanting to go to a level 7 now.. And I think your videos are starting to help me understand better
Some people may not realize that hair is porous and it has a cuticle... so when explaining “ lift” and the various levels of developers, it’s helpful to keep in mind whether hair is previously dyed, is virgin hair etc.- also, these developers, made by various companies , can also be mixed with permanent, Demi , Semi etc. and the results depend on the condition of hair even prior to applying pigment or dye. It’s a helpful video, and I know it’s not possible to answer the many questions that viewers pose. Hair coloring is an art and a science; I’m not a professional stylist... and am only making a suggestion. Thanks. Enjoy your videos.
Thank you thank you thank you. Nobody really just says what the developers do. The 20 turned my hair a really light orange so now. I can go for the color i need.
Thanks so much for explaining this!! I am going through a whole transformation here! Chopped my hair off about 4 inches in the front and 5 inches in the back and I'm changing color, so this was very helpful :D thank you!! :)
My hair got bleached one my roots got platinum blonde and the rest of my hair got orangey yellowish brassy color...I wonder if I put 20 volume developer only on my hair will 1 hour be too much?and I guess orangey hair cant get more orangey it will definitely fade into a light color which leads to blonde ...am I correct?🤔🤐
thanks for this video I am SOOO going to return the 40 and get 20. the last time I died my hair 20 was just fine and I got that perfect red I wanted. this lady told me to do 40 because my roots are so dark but nope!
Hello elle.....thank u thank u thank u .....ur a life saver... just finish doing my layers and cutting my ends off watching ur videos....im a single mother. That hasnt had time to dress up or fix my hair....but after watching. Ur videos im up beat and so ready to look good again. ...
I have gotten away with using a 10 volume developer for years to cover increasing grey hairs. Go for the lowest volume possible and see what happens. Certainly won't hurt using a 10 instead of a 20 and your hair will be happier.
if i have level 7 medium gold blonde ,,im planning to add 7 rose gold basically just deposit with developer 6 ,,question will the color take and not make it dark like level 5 ?
Is is best to go for a higher level colour i.e. I want to go for a level 8 blonde, from a level 5-6 ash brown - virgin hair. Should I use 30 vol developer at double the ratio? I have heard that I should go for a level 11 ash which would result in a level 8. So confusing! A video explaining this would be great!
I have a level 3 hair I.e. deepest brown. I want to color my hair violet. I did it with 20 volume developer and what I got is the tint of the color which shows up under the sunlight. Shall I use 30 volume developer to get a brighter and better color payoff. I do not want to bleach my hair.
My hair is pretty light blonde. Like a level 10 or slightly higher. I want to tone down my highlights some to help with the contrast of my roots when my hair starts to grow out. And I actually want it to be a little more golden and less platinum. I was thinking of using a demi-permanent so the change isn't too drastic or too dark. When toning down bleach blonde hair to more of a honey color what type of developer would I use with a demi? Just a 10 since I'm only depositing. I just don't want it to end up TOO much darker. Thanks so much! I am a new mom and don;t have the luxury of getting to the salon as often as I would like and your videos are saving me! :)
ellebangs I'm having a hard time finding a gold toner. Everyone wants to get brass out so I can't find much to "warm" it up. I have a Sally's up the street. The only Wella Toners they have that don't seem to have an Ash base are T11 and T35. Not sure which one to choose between. Don't wanna go much darker than a Level 10. Thanks so much for your help.
Shelby Clarke yeah in this case you may need to use a semi perm. color in a gold over it to warm it up a bit. Say your hair is a level 8 and you want a level 8 gold as a result, you should use a level 9g to only add gold tones and not change the level.
I think not all brands of developers or peroxide lift the same I think some developers lift more than the other especially if you have developers or peroxides more damaging to hair than the other, there is peroxides or developers that contain some certain oil or conditioners so it won't damage the hair to leave the hair soft and not to dry unless those peroxides or developers have a certain ingredient or various ingredients that will make the hair to lift a light color having softening condioners and or oils, the brand name "Swarzkopf" developers called "Blonde Me" have oil but I don't know which one, from brand name "Clariol" the cream developer or peroxide with wheat Ingridents that says it have conditioner probably won't lift to a too light color because it have conditioner also another peroxide or developer like brand name "Ion" for sensative scalp were they sell on the "Sally" beauty supplies that have 20, 30 and 40 volumes these developers look like they won't lift to a high level of color if only used a high volume ike 30 or 40 if you want a like light blonde or lighter than a light blonde, the developers also in cream from brand name "Chi" that says it have ion or some oils look like they won't lift high level colors because of the oil ingredients, I think the developer brand name "Pravana" is the same situation were according to the company called "Pravana" this developer is non drying to the hair, other brands like brand name "Wella" called Kollexton and other developers from brand name Wella say the same thing, from brand name developer "Blond Brillance" that come in a gold color bottle promises not to leave a brassy tones with some oil ingredients were they also sell in the Sally beauty supplies and more other peroxides or developers like brand name "AG Beautiful" were the AG Beautiful company say is great for aged women if you see pictures of this product in the Amazon stores were is also sold and there is pictures of aged or old looking women saying that this product is a good product to use without dryness to the hair
Living Peacefully sorry, I know the question is too old but I used to have your problem, too, with dyes like 5 or 6. Perhaps you might change the brand you are using, as 20 volume is ideal for grey. However, on my own hair I've noticed that 4 and 7 colours work much better. Guess it depends on your hair type, too.
If I want to tone my hair I am level 7-8 warm light brown that pulls orange and I want to tone my hair to a natural -beigy tone without going darker what should I use.
ellebangs... i used color oops to remove black box hair dye and now I am full on orange I do want to go lighter please help I have never done alot with my hair myself as this is why I dont have the money to see a professional
QUESTION: If my stylist applied dark brown color with 10% developer on my gray hair, if I now use a color remover such as Color Oops will my final result be my gray hair since the 10% developer did not penetrate color into the hair shaft?
Peroxide is actually a liquid gas. You can get really light hair with 10 and 20 vol. unless if they have box color on their hair. Depending on the color you can't get it out even with lightener.
What happens if you use double 20 volume vs 1:1 20 volume? Does it lift more and how many shades more. Because if you use only 20 volume 1:1 doesn't that dilute it to 10 volume. And if you use 30 volume 1:1, does that dilutes it to 15? I don't understand how doing 2:1 vs 1:1 will change how many shades you can lift.
Great info, Love your video's... Oh and your eyebrow video saved my life!! Thank you thank you..... I'm no longer cursing my eyebrows! All your videos are awesome, Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowlegde
My hair is dark auburn I had bleached my hair a few months ago, and then I used the L’Oréal insta indigo and it completely messed up my hair, I died my hair auburn and now my ends keep turning grey! What do I do?!?
I am a level 6 blonde currently but naturally have dark brown almost black hair. I have level 8 blonde in some spots with highlights through out. I want to get my brassy dark pieces lighter but not platinum. Id like more of a lighter ash color. Would 10 volume developer work with bleach so i don't not fry my hair or should i use 20 volume to go lighter? I am planning to tone my hair with wella t-14 after as well.
This video is old but hopefully someone will answer. Tested Age beautiful 6A with 20volume on medium light brown hair. There was absolutely no change. Can I use 30 developer with 6A hair color to life my color a shade or two while covering grey hair?
Can you cover the 90% gray hair with 6nn 20 then lighten it to bleach blonde with peroxide 30 with 10 instead of bleach so it's least damaging and just leave 2 inches of roots dark ?
Color Glaze: No - Ammonia Color 2 to 3 Shades LIGHTER than your starting shade with 5 vol. Developer (use conditioner to dilute 10 vol. 1 oz to 1oz conditioner OR 20 vol. 1/2 oz to 1 & 1/2 oz. conditioner) Long Lasting Color Gloss: No - Ammonia Color 1 to 2 levels lighter than your starting shade with 7.5 Vol. (1 & 1/2 oz. 10 Vol. + 1/2 oz. conditioner) OR 10 Vol. Developer. Wet hair and towel dry till damp apply color mixture and process for 10 to 15 mins. rinse shampoo and condition. Color Glaze can 'Cool Down' a brassy blonde until a more permanent solution can be done. Color Gloss can deepen or enrich color that has 'faded' between colorings, conceal a few grays or correct reddish tones. 30 Vol. can be used to give your shade another full level of lift when using shade levels 7 and lighter, (great for 'muddy' blondes OR Dull reds ) 40 Vol can give up to 5 full levels of lift for Blonde shades but results may be warmer than expected. It can also make even Dark Brown Hair a very lively shade of Red.
If ur hair is virgin hair and u want a light hair color without bleaching it u cant opt from 10 to 40 volume developer. 10 = 1 level of lift 20= 2 to 3 30 =3 to 4 and 40 = 4 so if u have a natural hair is persay a number 3 and u want to be a number 6 wich is a dark blonde u would pick ur ur number 6 hair dye and and mix it with a 30 volume developer. When it come to hair dyes only the the peroxide will determine how bright and noticible it will be thats depending on whats ur base to begin with. If u wanna go beyond 4 levels of lift u will have to bleach or use a high lift hair color.
Someone else said she looks like Shakira and I think she looks more like Shakira but I can see how she looks kinda like Kaley Cuoco! Silvia you are beautiful no matter who your doppelganger is!
I have dark brown hair with plenty of grey roots. When I use the box color (Revlon, Loreal, etc), I get hot roots (light roots). Is it because the develor in the box is probably No. 20. Should I purchase No. 10 developer separately to get roots the same color as my hair? Thank you.
Would it make sense when trying avoid orange tones on a level 7 to a high lift 12 ? With a 12 mixed with 20 volume for the full time, followed by a second application of a high level containing a colour toning value, instead of trying to do the job in less time with 40 volume.
Thank you for this amazing info! I have dark brown hair but previously highlighted with 10 volume (1 shade lighter) and toned with 20 volume. The result was nice but I want 1-2 shades lighter. Do you recommend I highlight with 20 volume + bleach powder and tone with 10 volume or less for ashy finish? It would help me so much if you can guide me
You are just the sweetest thing. I love watching your vids. You're so informative and have been very helfpul. Thanks for your generosity and for putting together these amazing vids :)
YES someone please help me.. I've been blonde for about 3 years now. But the last 3 months I've went a much lighter/whiter blonde. No more darker tones in my hair. This is great.. However I'm naturally dark ash grey brown maybe a pinch darker. Now my hairdressers who's a friend does my hair, he only ever does a regrowth, which is what want. Now I've bought all the products he uses.. Tigi copyright powder and wella tonner and developer. HOWEVER! He's changed the peroxide percentage that many times I don't know which one to get. Last time he used 3% and other times he's used 6% can someone please help me out? As I'm gonna be saving money in the long run... I'm a student and gotta eat and have nice hair! Thanks x
+Rachael Ferguson What she said in the video is 10% is mostly for depositng color (10 volume developer is equal to 3% peroxide). 20 volume is for lightening (which is equal to 6% peroxide). How much lighter you are going will dictate 20 vs 30 volume (or 6% vs 9% respectively). Make sense?
+Michelle Harmond I did watch the video. I just sound it hard to understand as I'm not the brightest. Also here in the UK we say %. I ended up asking my boyfriends hairdresser and he said I should go with 6% or 3%. But thanks so much for the comment.
Finally!!!! Someone explaining it in layman's terms!!! Been looking for a video like this for two weeks!!! Thanks Elle good looking out!
Andrea Outlaw one great video! I agree!🌻
this is the most beautiful hair color Sylvia has ever had to me, hair looks healthy, not brassy, not overly ashy, with movement, it's my dream color and the healthiest I've seen on her
fab! if anybody has difficulty understanding they should not be let loose on peroxide!!
This woman is so gorgeous but she never smiles !!!
Thank you for explaining so clearly and for being so natural which is rare to see these days especially from someone as pretty as you. God bless you dear sister and yr family.
Finally someone who actually makes sense :) thannnnk youuu for this video!
10 v : 3%
20 v : 6%
30 v : 9%
40 v : 12%
Ivana Tinkle how about the bleach powder?? How many ml. I need when im mix to 20 v developer?
Danica Palafox usually its a 1:2 ratio so one 1ml of bleach will require 2 ml of developer, but check the directions. all bleaches and dyes will provide a ratio either on the packaging or in the instructions
How do you decide whether to use a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of bleach & developer?
Thank You so much for your explanation. I have been looking for ages what you put it in simple terms
Renee Jahnke it’s almost always 1:2 ratio but if the consistency seems wrong then maybe try 1:1 but I’ve always used the 1:2 ratio
The only video i found helpful and calming. Thank you! I bought a 20 volume accidently without realizing i needed 10 volume one.. but im glad i can use it!
I don't know anything about coloring hair, I just come here to listen to her, but more importantly see her....She's bee-u-ti- full....

finding the color that matches your hair current hair color and mix with a 20 volume peroxide.
I've never had box color ruin my hair,but I have had two stylists mess it up.
I’ve been watching you for years it’s crazy. Love your videos. Sorry if this was said but I didn’t hear you mention the difference in percentage to the volume?
My hairdresser uses 30 developer on all the blondes. She is known in the area for her blonde clientele as the colour looks amazing.
Shes a hairdresser/cosmetologist and spent hours in school. Not everyone is going to get it in a few videos. She knows what she talking about. Thats why she's a cosmetologist.
your like a breath of fresh air wish I woulda found u sooner
Aside from all the useful info, your makeup is amazing and flawless.
+Zee Subaie aw Thanks :)
Thank you! Finally someone who can explain the volume! It now makes perfect sense! 😊

Okay this title is so misleading you did not explain how to avoid orange hair.... maybe you did and I just missed it some how....
Summertimefairy borias yes I was also waiting to hear something about the Orange hair stuff but never mentioned🤔
She said don’t use 30 or 40 vol as it causes brassy hair. Brassy = orange or warmer tones
at the 3:20 mark.
the whole video is well, how you avoid it! lol! :) you need to use 20 volume if (per her example) you are blonde and you want to darken your hair a shade or 2 darker. don't use a 20!! there is no point bc it will brighten it (ie: you will get orange/brassy hair!!!) so use a 10 instead!!

Marah is spot on. It is chemistry. Thats why people go to their hairdresser. Its not easy for people to learn in a couple videos. But she knows what shes talking about.
you can use as much ash as you can, but if you are lifting more than even just 2 levels, it sough to avoid brass.
I had a perm a few months ago and my stylist just wants to darken my hair.. I'm naturally a 6... The perm left my hair a pretty shade of orange..I'm wanting to go to a level 7 now.. And I think your videos are starting to help me understand better

Respect. With hair like yours! Beautiful.
What about us level 3 brunettes wanting dark blond base color?
Thank you thank you thank you. Nobody really just says what the developers do. The 20 turned my hair a really light orange so now. I can go for the color i need.
have dark hair, 10 volume worked well for a lift. I'm using volume 10 to color but the dye won't stay after one wash. What to do?
Your channel is very educational and is helping me clear some questions my school couldn't get through me
Your hair is exceptionally gorgeous!
you seem very distracted in this video and did not really get the tip on how to use peroxide to avoid red tones. luv yr videos though
if someone has some grey hairs and want to lift the hairs 3level which developer should be used?
Your videos are awesome. Finally getting to my desired hair color!
How should I bleach my virgin level 5 hair to a level 9? In terms of which volume developer to use? & how long to leave it on for?
Say I have light ash blonde hair what developer would I use to keep the same color?
Thanks so much for explaining this!! I am going through a whole transformation here! Chopped my hair off about 4 inches in the front and 5 inches in the back and I'm changing color, so this was very helpful :D thank you!! :)
so, say someone has highlights and want an all over color, how would you go about getting even, full coverage?
filler
If you do your own hair them use Colorful Neutral Protein Filler from Sally's.
Can you use a higher developer to mix colour instead of the box dye developer. Maybe a 20% to get aurburn blonde with a blonde box dye.
My hair got bleached one my roots got platinum blonde and the rest of my hair got orangey yellowish brassy color...I wonder if I put 20 volume developer only on my hair will 1 hour be too much?and I guess orangey hair cant get more orangey it will definitely fade into a light color which leads to blonde ...am I correct?🤔🤐
I meant no bleach just using 20 volume developer
So helpful and worth it to spend time watching. Thanks ms. Elle. 😍😘
thanks for this video I am SOOO going to return the 40 and get 20. the last time I died my hair 20 was just fine and I got that perfect red I wanted. this lady told me to do 40 because my roots are so dark but nope!
I was going to dye my hair tonight at home for the first time, and you posted this super helpful video just in time! Thank you!
Hello elle.....thank u thank u thank u .....ur a life saver... just finish doing my layers and cutting my ends off watching ur videos....im a single mother. That hasnt had time to dress up or fix my hair....but after watching. Ur videos im up beat and so ready to look good again. ...
Can i mix hydrogen peroxide in my toner as a substitute for creme developer?
I have gotten away with using a 10 volume developer for years to cover increasing grey hairs. Go for the lowest volume possible and see what happens. Certainly won't hurt using a 10 instead of a 20 and your hair will be happier.
if i have level 7 medium gold blonde ,,im planning to add 7 rose gold basically just deposit with developer 6 ,,question will the color take and not make it dark like level 5 ?
Thank you!!! Was actually googling this earlier today and lo and behold you pop up on my subscription list.
Would not leaving 10 vol on longer? lighten 2 shades? I don't get it. lol
Is is best to go for a higher level colour i.e. I want to go for a level 8 blonde, from a level 5-6 ash brown - virgin hair. Should I use 30 vol developer at double the ratio? I have heard that I should go for a level 11 ash which would result in a level 8. So confusing! A video explaining this would be great!
I have a level 3 hair I.e. deepest brown. I want to color my hair violet. I did it with 20 volume developer and what I got is the tint of the color which shows up under the sunlight. Shall I use 30 volume developer to get a brighter and better color payoff. I do not want to bleach my hair.
what is the difference between cream developer and clear developer? is one better than the other?
What I know: Cream developer is more of a creamy consistency, while clear developer is more liquid.
cream is better usually
My hair is pretty light blonde. Like a level 10 or slightly higher. I want to tone down my highlights some to help with the contrast of my roots when my hair starts to grow out. And I actually want it to be a little more golden and less platinum. I was thinking of using a demi-permanent so the change isn't too drastic or too dark. When toning down bleach blonde hair to more of a honey color what type of developer would I use with a demi? Just a 10 since I'm only depositing. I just don't want it to end up TOO much darker. Thanks so much! I am a new mom and don;t have the luxury of getting to the salon as often as I would like and your videos are saving me! :)
if you don't want to go darker , what you need is a gold toner. Toner isn't only to get rid of brass. :)
ellebangs I'm having a hard time finding a gold toner. Everyone wants to get brass out so I can't find much to "warm" it up. I have a Sally's up the street. The only Wella Toners they have that don't seem to have an Ash base are T11 and T35. Not sure which one to choose between. Don't wanna go much darker than a Level 10. Thanks so much for your help.
Shelby Clarke yeah in this case you may need to use a semi perm. color in a gold over it to warm it up a bit. Say your hair is a level 8 and you want a level 8 gold as a result, you should use a level 9g to only add gold tones and not change the level.
What about 9 volume with semi permanent?
Thank you i didnt know i should use 20 on grey.
Can you use developer by its self with no color?
You probably could but I think it would be a bit like soaking your fingers in nail polish remover even though you're not wearing nail polish. :)
Hi I want to go to white hair like literaly white hair i have almost and honey blonde i guess you can call it with black roots what do I use 20 or 40
I think not all brands of developers or peroxide lift the same I think some developers lift more than the other especially if you have developers or peroxides more damaging to hair than the other, there is peroxides or developers that contain some certain oil or conditioners so it won't damage the hair to leave the hair soft and not to dry unless those peroxides or developers have a certain ingredient or various ingredients that will make the hair to lift a light color having softening condioners and or oils, the brand name "Swarzkopf" developers called "Blonde Me" have oil but I don't know which one, from brand name "Clariol" the cream developer or peroxide with wheat Ingridents that says it have conditioner probably won't lift to a too light color because it have conditioner also another peroxide or developer like brand name "Ion" for sensative scalp were they sell on the "Sally" beauty supplies that have 20, 30 and 40 volumes these developers look like they won't lift to a high level of color if only used a high volume ike 30 or 40 if you want a like light blonde or lighter than a light blonde, the developers also in cream from brand name "Chi" that says it have ion or some oils look like they won't lift high level colors because of the oil ingredients, I think the developer brand name "Pravana" is the same situation were according to the company called "Pravana" this developer is non drying to the hair, other brands like brand name "Wella" called Kollexton and other developers from brand name Wella say the same thing, from brand name developer "Blond Brillance" that come in a gold color bottle
promises not to leave a brassy tones with some oil ingredients were they also sell in the Sally beauty supplies and more other peroxides or developers like brand name "AG Beautiful" were the AG Beautiful company say is great for aged women if you see pictures of this product in the Amazon stores were is also sold and there is pictures of aged or old looking women saying that this product is a good product to use without dryness to the hair
Your hair looks amazing!!!!! You are so pretty
I use vol.6 and my colour right now is perfect(to Me),similar to yours.First I bleech and than colour(from' box').
I have watched you for a long time. Love your easy going nature. How do you get more beautiful all the time???
Why grey hair doesn't absorb well the color? 6NN + 6A + 20 volume (equal parts) Do i need to apply more color than peroxide?
Living Peacefully sorry, I know the question is too old but I used to have your problem, too, with dyes like 5 or 6. Perhaps you might change the brand you are using, as 20 volume is ideal for grey. However, on my own hair I've noticed that 4 and 7 colours work much better. Guess it depends on your hair type, too.
How would you color gray hair, roots, without having two diferent colors?
So, let's say I'm a level 6 and I want to achieve a level 9: should I apply a level 11-12 ash + 20 or 30 vol in order to lift my hair 3 levels?
Fantastic explanation!! Very well done. Thank you so much! 🌸
Hi Elle, if my natural colour is brown can I use 10 volume to lift it for baby lights?
If I want to tone my hair I am level 7-8 warm light brown that pulls orange and I want to tone my hair to a natural -beigy tone without going darker what should I use.
haha i know, its hard to tune it out, I live downtown San Francisco.
Can I add 30v to my permanent box dye
I love all your videos and learn so much, especially watching all the hair videos on color, toning and brightening! Thank you!
ellebangs... i used color oops to remove black box hair dye and now I am full on orange I do want to go lighter please help I have never done alot with my hair myself as this is why I dont have the money to see a professional
QUESTION:
If my stylist applied dark brown color with 10% developer on my gray hair, if I now use a color remover such as Color Oops will my final result be my gray hair since the 10% developer did not penetrate color into the hair shaft?
what a great explanation. You are so great in your videos.
should my hairdresser use 10 developer with my hair color if its coming our more brassy and red?
This is probably a silly question but do you have to use the same brand developers and colour?
no
Thank you
Peroxide is actually a liquid gas. You can get really light hair with 10 and 20 vol. unless if they have box color on their hair. Depending on the color you can't get it out even with lightener.
What's the difference between a cream developer and the clear one?
What happens if you use double 20 volume vs 1:1 20 volume? Does it lift more and how many shades more. Because if you use only 20 volume 1:1 doesn't that dilute it to 10 volume. And if you use 30 volume 1:1, does that dilutes it to 15?
I don't understand how doing 2:1 vs 1:1 will change how many shades you can lift.
Great info, Love your video's... Oh and your eyebrow video saved my life!! Thank you thank you..... I'm no longer cursing my eyebrows! All your videos are awesome, Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowlegde
to be honest I would love to go towards an ashier blond like you have.
My hair is dark auburn
I had bleached my hair a few months ago, and then I used the L’Oréal insta indigo and it completely messed up my hair, I died my hair auburn and now my ends keep turning grey! What do I do?!?
Omg thank you. Lord I have been using 30 and 40.... 20 I will try it
FAB TUTORIAL.... EXCEPTIONAL!!! WOULD YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE THICKEST CONSISTENCY & MOST GENTLE 20 VOLUME DEVELOPER? THANKS.
I am a level 6 blonde currently but naturally have dark brown almost black hair. I have level 8 blonde in some spots with highlights through out. I want to get my brassy dark pieces lighter but not platinum. Id like more of a lighter ash color. Would 10 volume developer work with bleach so i don't not fry my hair or should i use 20 volume to go lighter? I am planning to tone my hair with wella t-14 after as well.
This video is old but hopefully someone will answer.
Tested Age beautiful 6A with 20volume on medium light brown hair. There was absolutely no change.
Can I use 30 developer with 6A hair color to life my color a shade or two while covering grey hair?
Sooo What peroxid can avoid orange!? Thanks
Can i use 40 Volume of Igora Royal developer for Balck hairs??? Would it safe??
I can't find any white toner were I live can I use 20 volume to tone blonde
Can you cover the 90% gray hair with 6nn 20 then lighten it to bleach blonde with peroxide 30 with 10 instead of bleach so it's least damaging and just leave 2 inches of roots dark ?
Color Glaze: No - Ammonia Color 2 to 3 Shades LIGHTER than your starting shade with 5 vol. Developer (use conditioner to dilute 10 vol. 1 oz to 1oz conditioner OR 20 vol. 1/2 oz to 1 & 1/2 oz. conditioner) Long Lasting Color Gloss: No - Ammonia Color 1 to 2 levels lighter than your starting shade with 7.5 Vol. (1 & 1/2 oz. 10 Vol. + 1/2 oz. conditioner) OR 10 Vol. Developer. Wet hair and towel dry till damp apply color mixture and process for 10 to 15 mins. rinse shampoo and condition. Color Glaze can 'Cool Down' a brassy blonde until a more permanent solution can be done. Color Gloss can deepen or enrich color that has 'faded' between colorings, conceal a few grays or correct reddish tones. 30 Vol. can be used to give your shade another full level of lift when using shade levels 7 and lighter, (great for 'muddy' blondes OR Dull reds ) 40 Vol can give up to 5 full levels of lift for Blonde shades but results may be warmer than expected. It can also make even Dark Brown Hair a very lively shade of Red.
Q: So if your hair is a level 3 and you use 30vol developer with a 3N permanent, you get 3 levels of lift and the color will lift to a 6N?
If ur hair is virgin hair and u want a light hair color without bleaching it u cant opt from 10 to 40 volume developer. 10 = 1 level of lift 20= 2 to 3 30 =3 to 4 and 40 = 4 so if u have a natural hair is persay a number 3 and u want to be a number 6 wich is a dark blonde u would pick ur ur number 6 hair dye and and mix it with a 30 volume developer. When it come to hair dyes only the the peroxide will determine how bright and noticible it will be thats depending on whats ur base to begin with. If u wanna go beyond 4 levels of lift u will have to bleach or use a high lift hair color.
you resemble so much like Penny from Big Bang theory :)
Someone else said she looks like Shakira and I think she looks more like Shakira but I can see how she looks kinda like Kaley Cuoco! Silvia you are beautiful no matter who your doppelganger is!
I thought I was the only who thought she looks like Penny from BBT
I think this chics even prettier
She does actually
Except homegirl here is prettier. 🤙🏽
I have dark brown hair with plenty of grey roots. When I use the box color (Revlon, Loreal, etc), I get hot roots (light roots). Is it because the develor in the box is probably No. 20. Should I purchase No. 10 developer separately to get roots the same color as my hair? Thank you.
I have soft black hair n I wanna dye burgundy color can i use 20 developer?
Where can I buy? I can’t find it in my country or not I have to buy it online
Would it make sense when trying avoid orange tones on a level 7 to a high lift 12 ? With a 12 mixed with 20 volume for the full time, followed by a second application of a high level containing a colour toning value, instead of trying to do the job in less time with 40 volume.
7 + 7/1 with 20 vol (peroxide):
what does this mean? i want to color my roots i'm a honey blonde
Thank you for this amazing info! I have dark brown hair but previously highlighted with 10 volume (1 shade lighter) and toned with 20 volume. The result was nice but I want 1-2 shades lighter. Do you recommend I highlight with 20 volume + bleach powder and tone with 10 volume or less for ashy finish? It would help me so much if you can guide me
what's best for orange hair you did not talk about the volume for orange hair
You are just the sweetest thing. I love watching your vids. You're so informative and have been very helfpul. Thanks for your generosity and for putting together these amazing vids :)
YES someone please help me.. I've been blonde for about 3 years now. But the last 3 months I've went a much lighter/whiter blonde. No more darker tones in my hair. This is great.. However I'm naturally dark ash grey brown maybe a pinch darker. Now my hairdressers who's a friend does my hair, he only ever does a regrowth, which is what want. Now I've bought all the products he uses.. Tigi copyright powder and wella tonner and developer. HOWEVER! He's changed the peroxide percentage that many times I don't know which one to get. Last time he used 3% and other times he's used 6% can someone please help me out? As I'm gonna be saving money in the long run... I'm a student and gotta eat and have nice hair! Thanks x
+Rachael Ferguson What she said in the video is 10% is mostly for depositng color (10 volume developer is equal to 3% peroxide). 20 volume is for lightening (which is equal to 6% peroxide). How much lighter you are going will dictate 20 vs 30 volume (or 6% vs 9% respectively). Make sense?
+Michelle Harmond I did watch the video. I just sound it hard to understand as I'm not the brightest. Also here in the UK we say %. I ended up asking my boyfriends hairdresser and he said I should go with 6% or 3%. But thanks so much for the comment.
