![]() ![]() ![]() Applications with 30 volume should never be placed under heat and should be monitored regularly and ideally, a test strand should be performed prior to use. This developer is more ideal for open-air processing which incubates less heat. When used with bleach and foils 30 volume works fast and may incur the risk of over-processing. ![]() Thirty volume should never be used for basic deposit only color as it will blast the cuticle for no reason. It can also be used for grey coverage on more resistant hair types. 30 Volumeģ0 volume developer is ideal for lifting 2-4 levels using permanent hair color depending on the texture of the hair. 20 volume is the highest level of developer that should be used on the scalp with bleach as the scalp produces more heat and increases the power of the developer. This combination steadily opens the cuticle and consumes the pigments while allowing time for the rest of your application. When used with bleach, 20 volume is a powerful tool lifting 1-9 levels depending on the bleach, method of application, and hair type/history. Twenty volume should not be used as a developer for toner or glazes especially when wanting to maintain a natural base. It is the standard developer for grey coverage, however, a stronger developer may be needed for more resistant hair types. On finer fabrics it may even give up to 3 levels of lift. Twenty volume will give 1-2 levels of lift when used with permanent hair color. 20 VolumeĢ0 volume is likely the most used developer in the salon. When 10 volume is used with bleach it can give 1-4 levels of lift depending on the bleach, the method of application, and the hair. Ten volume is also the default developer for many toners and glazes, however, keep in mind that this higher volume developer means a possible shift to the natural base color. If the hair is a finer fabric it could over a slight one level lighter shift in base color and grey blending. Similar to 5 volume, 10 volume can be used with permanent color lines for depositing color, however, it will not offer much grey coverage or lift. 10 Volumeġ0 volume will slightly open the cuticle and allow for moderate penetration of color molecules. When used with bleach, 5 volume can create a very slight shift in the hair, which is great for fragile baby hairs needing only1-2 levels of lift. Its role is as an activator for the color and will typically be in developers specifically made for glazes and toners. The hair will no longer be virgin and it will shift the natural shade, however, it will not offer grey coverage or lift. Many color lines will allow you to use their permanent color with 5 volume for ‘deposit only’ results. Volumes and Uses: 5 Volumeĥ volume is a lesser-used developer but often teamed with semi and demi-permanent color lines for its minimal effect on the cuticle. ![]() HOWEVER, many color lines spend years formulating a specific developer to best work with their color formula and thus lift, tonality, longevity and consistency can only be guaranteed when using the ideal partner products. Since the primary active ingredient of a developer is hydrogen peroxide any developer should work with most any color line. Does it really matter if I used the same developer as the color or can I use a generic developer? Chemists spend countless hours figuring out the best combination so following the color lines suggestions is always best. Color lines will specify what developers should be used with their various color lines. A thicker viscosity (cream) allows for an easier application and more control while a more liquid consistency (clear) allows the color to go further and more easily saturate the hair. What is the difference between cream and clear developers? The stronger the developer the more the cuticle opens. Different companies will include different additives but at a base level the hydrogen peroxides job is to lift the cuticle layer of the hair. To let you on in the best ways to use 10, 20, 30, 40 volume developer and everything in between we’ve created this handy guide to answer the question: what volume developer should I use? Common Questions: What exactly is developer?ĭeveloper is, quite simply, hydrogen peroxide. Each developer has its use – just like each speed has its appropriate time and place. It's the same with your trusty developers. Can you get there going 60mph and incur less risk? Absolutely. Can you get to your final destination safely going 80mph? Maybe. As the speedometer climbs you get to your destination faster.but you also lose a bit of control. Imagine sitting behind the wheel of your ideal car. ![]()
