Second, I recommend that you remove that existing hair color so that you will have a clean slate. You can remove color with a product called Vanish (as long as you do not have bleached hair. This is important if you really want healthier hair and a Professional hair color like Wella to look its best. If Vanish is too expensive, you may start with the shampoo train (just search those words here on the blog. I could give you a formula, but without seeing your color and knowing that you have Ion currently on your head... I wouldn't want to do that. The general rule is that you use 20 vol for covering gray... you would only use 10 vol for depositing... toning.

My hair is coarse and very porous. The existing color was quite bleached and dried out from the summer sun and swimming. I am a "medium brown" w/ 20% gray concentrated mostly on temples and part. The colorist used 77/0 (1.5) and 66/0 (1.0) and 10 volume. I love the color of my hair on the outermost layers but the roots are soooo dark. Was this because of the 10 volume? Also, she stopped my processing at the 20 minute mark b/c I was concerned about how dark it was getting. Grey coverage and feel of hair is great even though she stopped the processing 10 minutes early. I would like to color my roots and don't know what to do. I was thinking of using equal parts 77 and 66 with a 20 volume for a little lift at the roots. Would this work? Any help would be appreciated.

It has the best Gray coverage EVER PLUS the health of your hair will return to "wonderful". Using "Crap-in-A-Box" to color the hair is one of the most damaging acts you can do to hair.<br /><br />We change dozens over to this on a daily basis and we receive dozens of thanks you for showing people like yourself ....THE WAY ! The trick to good gray coverage (is the proper formula, the best brand you can afford, process for 60 minutes - leave color on hair for 55-60 minutes). Use proper formula.....<br />Here is formula in Koleston Perfect:<br />66/0......1 Tube (depends on how long your hair is as to how much you use)<br />5/77......1 Tube( use equal parts with color above)<br /> 1oz. 66/00 + 1oz. 5/77 : mix well then add 2 ounces of 20Volume. Mix hair color together first....WELL. Then Weigh and measure Proper developer amount to mix - stir well - Begin applying on roots. PROCESS on Roots 60 minutes.<br />Process full amount of time.<br />Everyone thinks if you process hair color a long time it will get darker and darker....if that was the case we would only have ONE color and we would leave that one color on different lengths of times..<br /><br />Just use our brand its the best brand in professional Hair Color : Koleston Perfect....and gives excellent gray coverage!<br /><br />https://killerstrands.com/products/wella-koleston-perfect-permanent-color<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-48288717092453734462016-03-21T07:12:43.816-07:002016-03-21T07:12:43.816-07:00So...I have pretty dark brown hair and quite a bit...So...I have pretty dark brown hair and quite a bit of gray around my face. I can't afford to have my hair lady color my roots every 2 to 3 weeks. I just want to cover gray between coloring and not use a box from the grocery store. I found the brand she uses in amazon...I'm looking at a light cocoa brown (5.23). But...I am confused by the developer strength. I do not want to lift...so I would think a volume 10, but I read that I will need a volume 20 to cover gray. What do you suggest? Is 25 to 30 minutes enough time to let it sit?

Of course, the purple is more bright on top and only visible in the sun light on the rest of my hair. Since its been a month I also have vigin hair from letting my hair grow for the last month. I have tried to lighten my hair using Colour B4 and a few rounds of natural lightening remedies. My hair is now 3 different shades. I want to dye my hair again dark plum brown but want to be able to see the purple not just in the sunlight and want an even hair dye job. What do you recommend i do? I understand using different developers. How do I use them? Do I start from the top with a lower developer and then down to the ends or the other way around?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-28429319188459717252015-09-28T00:53:07.567-07:002015-09-28T00:53:07.567-07:00hi, I was wondering wat developer to use with brig...hi, I was wondering wat developer to use with bright colours? suh as blue?Falling-through-Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894836778299099717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-33496209658769639272015-08-22T22:59:29.715-07:002015-08-22T22:59:29.715-07:00I do not believe in hair extensions they do so muc...I do not believe in hair extensions they do so much more harm than good, I have seen them pull the actual roots of the hair right out of the head.
