My hair is also very gray but the REDKEN Oil in Cream Developer 20% does the job. My natural haircolor was medium brown. Now I mix the Redken Chromatics using 80% 6Gwith 20% 6Gr.Ever since I use Redken Chromatics the texture of my hair has very much improved. It has more bounce, is shiny and looks very natural.

I used 20% of another brand? Because Redken was unavailable everywhere. I would have to check but it was a similar product with no peroxide. Everyone was out of 20% so I had to send far away for it and time was of the essence so I went ahead with the other brand and ordered the 30% of Chromatics just in case it didn

Hello Suzie, My hair is about 60% gray and becomes frizzy when color burns it therefore that is why I use this Chromatics developer which is a conditioning developer. I use 9NW color to blend best with gray hair so the roots don't show immediately. I'm a blonde without bleaching thanks to REDKEN. I have salons trying to have me change to other products and it had been a long time before I found this product that works so great. I will never leave REDKEN again. YOu can view information on their website although if your not a professional you wont be able to purchase from them. I let my license expire so I buy from ebay and actually have found REDKEN is cheaper on ebay then anywhere else. Good Luck! hope this helps you!

The product is suitable for people with very little grey. I unsuccessfully attempted to color my greys with Chromatics, but it turned out to be more of a toner on my already colored hair. It did not color the grey roots. I do not use this product anymore.

I've had best luck if I use the Epson printer control panel and set it for "Grayscale" only. It seems this gives the best B &W results. It still is not like using Kodabromide fiber paper and Dektol (!!!)...but it's pretty good. Your Mileage May Vary...!!

I don't have gray hair so I cannot say for certain but I don't see why it wouldn't. Regular electrolysis (performed at a salon) works on gray hair. Plus you have to put the needle in the hair follicle for the electrical current to "zap" the hair. Therefore I don't think hair color has any bearing on its performance.

Not familiar with naissant,sorry. I can tell you that if you are wanting to banish brassiness, in any haircolor, Nexxus will surely do the trick. It's very concentrated, so you use only a little amount.

My hair is almost completely white and I use the ultra white minx. Works for me.

I don't know. I use developer and kaleidocolors powder to lighten, then use t18. Unsure of how it would perform under different circumstances. Sorry.

Yes. The developer is the best part, because it is very low volume and will not wreck your hair. Get it wherever you buy the bottle of semi-permanent color. Put two ounces into the application bottle (looks like a ketchup squirter at a hot dog stand) and add the entire bottle of color. Shake gently, let it sit a few minutes, then apply to roots first. I feel like you can't go wrong with this stuff, but I'm not a professional.

When I spoke to a company rep she said it was better on grey hair. The company does have an 800 number if you want to clarify. I called because I wanted to lighten/brighten my winter natural blonde hair and I didn't see any results.

Nexxus simply silver works beautifully on the grey hair and helps to highlight the brownish hair. No need to worry, go for it. What I will recommend is that you do not leave in the shampoo too long. I usually apply and wash out immediately inorder not to have too blue a color. After few applications you will get the xesired effect.

Yes you need to use 2ounces of the developer with the color you have chosen.

Personally I like to mix one T18 with the T14 with the developer and leave it on for an hour. It gives a nice shimmer to greyed hair.

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.

Hi, you absolutely must use indigo along with this. It's really good, but it's the first step. It will take out all the grey,but it turns hair orange. My hair is darkest brown, almost black. I have a lot of frosty grey. Once I use the Nupur Mehendi, it's bozo the clown orange.Then after the indigo, it's a very pretty dark brown with an auburn highlighted look.

Hey Gary, you need the developer to mix with Chrystal Clear, Crystal clear alone won't do much to your clients hair.... just so you know Crystal clear can be used by it self or mixed with a toner to get a better gloss. Basically crystal clear plus the developer applied to you hair it's like applying a clear coat of polish to your fingernails. hope this helps.

I would not use this on grey hair. Greys absorb color differently than non-greys, so your results are really going to be unpredictable. About a year after using Caca Brun for the last time, I decided to get highlights, thinking the dye would have all faded out by then. That was not the case, and I had Marge-Simpson-blue "highlights". This haircolor is one that you'll have to maintain, or grow out.
