Hi!! I used a 10 developer and did use the whole tube. I eyeballed it and used same amount developer as hair dye. Please be careful I just went to the salon to get new color and they had a hard time lifting the color out of my hair even with a 10 developer.. Good luck!!

No I do not I only use one ounce to 1 1/2 ounce of developer to cover my gray and leave for 45 min. Depends how much hair you have I am only covering my roots. If long hair maybe half the tube

It depends on your hair. My hair is long and thick. I only use a fourth of a tube for touch-ups on my grey new-growth. Then about every six months or so do I use a whole tube to refresh the rest of the hair. This hair color is the best I've used and last for a very long time.

The instructions are printed on the inside of the box.Pravana is NOT mixed 1:1 with developers like most dyes. You mix it in a ratio of 1 part dye to 1.5 parts developer. It is also a larger 3 oz tube not the standard 2oz size. For both these reasons the tubes are a good value.

I use it all because my hair is thick and long.I use the same amount of developer. You should always use tge same amount of each.

I use 10 to make it fill in my color if u use 20 it does make a little lighter of the color.

Hi there, no, you don't need a certain amount, just make sure the parts of same size, so 1:1 colour to developer. Probably about 60ml (2 fl oz) of each is a reasonable amount, but depends on how thick and long your hair is....

Yes! I have used it for years and love it. I use less developer fluid than is recommended, though, for stronger color and better coverage.

I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well. It took three applications to mostly strip my hair but it was a yellow, brassy color and not the light blonde I was wanting. I would assume the black would be difficult to lift because it's so dark. But if you're not wanting to use bleach on your hair, I would suggest this product. Although, for me at least, it didn't work as well as I was hoping. I ended up just doing a soap cap (shampoo and bleach mixture) to get it blonde. I should also warn you that the smell of Pranana is extremely intense and can only be compared to a dog's fart. The smell lasts for multiple shampoos. Hope this is helpful! I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well.

The tube is all you need it is a direct dye so just put it on dont mix with anything

I painted half my body blue and the other half orange. I put on 2 coats and used less than half of a tube for each color. I would say you should be good with 1 tube. You will need to apply at least 2 coats as 1 coat looks streaky. Have fun.

Yes that is what I use, I believe when I got it I read reviews and there are like 3 colors it doesn't cure but I mix and match all of my gel polishes and I use CND base and top coat and I have never had any issues.

I use the non-tinted tube. I assume you are using the tinted version. I believe there are two shades of that NHD. Do you have the right shade for your skin tone? I sometimes will put the amount in my palm and let it warm up and it becomes easier to spread.

So, you need to use a different volume developer for different base hair colors. My hair is very dark, so to achieve the color I want, I need a 30 volume. if your natural color is lighter, you can get away with a 20 volume. the higher the volume developer, the more it will lighten. Does that make sense? There are many charts online that show this. Here's one that describes that if your natural color is dark brown and you want to lift 4 levels, you need a 30 volume. http://www.hairfinder.com/tips/levelsanddeveloper.jpg

Definitely use the medium. You can reapply to add depth of color. I think dark will be too much for fair skin.

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'm not quite sure about the product you have been using but I do know that the Godefroy is wonderful! A little goes a long way and last a long time as well. The dye comes in a pill capsule I suggest you buy one of those pill containers so you can store the left over. You really don't need to waste the entire powder. Use a little and if you need more you can prepare some more. One capsule can be used at least 3-4 times. Hope I was helpful!

I also have super thick, long hair, and I found that one tube was plenty. I mixed it with toner (30 volume) so that basically doubled the volume of dye - and made the color longer lasting.

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. I'm not sure. I still haven't finished my tube. A little goes a long way.

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.

I have very long, thick, dark hair and 1 packet (100g) was enough. Realize that you also need Henna powder to finish your dying process. Make sure you leave the paste in for at least as long as the directions say. Because this is natural, leaving it in your hair longer will not damage your hair, it will only make the dye stronger.
