Questions & Answers

A red color that is dark and bloody appeals to me. Do you think that this color works or would Magenta work best?

The results are fantastic if you use this product in accordance with the instruction. In my two retail stores, intense red, magenta, and red are the hottest shades for the second year in a row. As seen in the chart , the color you describe is intense red. Make sure you do it if you want the attention. This is Alex Jet's best performance

Since I have black hair, this red will look great on me. Is my hair going to turn out what color? What should I do if I want to use a developer?

Having worked in the hair department for 10 years, I suggest mixing the red with magenta and using the 40 volume developer so it doesn't fade into an ugly orange hue. Also, I have very dark hair, and this worked perfectly for me. The bleach does not need to be used.

What if your relaxed hair has never been dyed before? Can you use the 30 volume developer on it?

The 20 volume developer might not give you any results. I would use the 30 volume developer. I have been working as a hairdresser for 10 years, so I believe 30 volume will work for you. This product will not work if your hair is dark. You will need 30 volume to achieve any results

There is a lot of hair on me. If you're white, it'll be like the thickest hair you could ever find. Do you need 3 or 4 If I just add more developer to my account I could have 4 instead of 2?

Unlike the majority of white people, I have really thick hair and I am mixed. (When straightened, my hair extends to the bottom of my back as well). As I typically use 4 tubes, I would say if your hair is short, then 2 would be fine, though if you wouldn't mind being safe, then I recommend 3 (sometimes I get an extra just in case...). It might help to know that.

I really like this product
5/5

This is the hair color my son wanted and he's so happy about it. There is light brown hair on his head. In the first picture, you can see a picture of Red makes him so happy and he loves it. It was easy to follow directions. It is better to apply a barrier of Vaseline on top of the skin, as a thick layer of Vaseline.

This is no laughing matter
5/5

The name of this entity No doubt, this does what it's supposed to do. Despite having dark brown hair and coloring my hair red for years, I still have very red As a result, my hair is red like a fire engine. It is not necessary to use In my bathroom, there are pink accents. I'm not kidding when I say that this dye is I have never used a red dye that has left pink stains on the walls of my shower in all my years of using it. It is important to wash the dye out after it has been rinsed and shampooed! Yeah, I like it a lot.

You can say goodbye to BOX dyes forever! Exactly what I was looking for
5/5

I have noticed a big difference in my hair since using this! As much as I like red, I have grown tired of box dyes that do not produce the shade I want. I used a 30 developer and three tubes of red on a whim. Dark brown, almost black, is the color of my hair. As my virgin hair was previously dyed about two months ago, I began with my roots and applied the whole thing all over in chunks, starting with my roots first. Once it sat for 35 minutes in a cap, I removed it. As soon as I rinsed it out, my reaction was "OH WOW!" I love the color of your hair! It has been a while since I have been using box dyes, and I definitely will not be going back to them! There is no comparison between box dyes and this. It is literally half the cost, and the color you want is actually available. You should be aware that this color is RED.

Red is the color of fire
5/5

Since I started using it, it has become a staple in my life. My hair is always complimented. It never ceases to amaze me. All the men, all the women, and all the children are mesmerized by this show. Having a BOLD color like this will draw attention to you! If you want to blend into the background, this isn't the right program for you. Whenever I touch up my roots, I use the red stick by Bumble and Bumble. There is a review of that in my profile. I use this when I want to highlight my entire head, no matter what the wording may say. When shampooing your treated hair, use L'Oreal For Treated Hair sulfite-free.

Dark hair works well with this! The last time I bleached and dyed my hair bright red was about 6 weeks ago
5/5

(Almost black hair naturally. 1) I was nervous about roots touch up because I didn't want to bleach my roots and risk ruining my already bleached red color. After finding this, I read on. In my case, I combined it with 30 developer and applied it to my I was able to use it without any problems. The ends of his hair were not ruined, his roots were perfectly colored, and his hair was reddish. If you have very dark hair and would like to avoid more bleach, this is a great product!.

It is an incredibly lovely shade of red
5/5

The boxed hair dye kits were my standard method of coloring my hair Normally I'm happy with the outcome, but this time I wasn't (the color of the red wasn't When I did some research, I came across L'Oréal HiColor HiLights and Color Essence The risk was worth it. When I was a kid, I used to get box kits where there was a bottle to mix in, so mixing in a bowl was unfamiliar to me A silicone brush is used in application (and The developer must be bought This is great! I'm glad I found it! It's a great shade of red and it fits the theme well It appears to be lasting quite well so far. You only need to wash your hair once or twice a week though, and only be forced to do so after coming out of the shower. The temperature of the water should be lowered. Almost two weeks have passed since my dye day, and I have already gotten some new shades In the past four hair washes, I've cleaned my hair. As a result, the color is slightly fading, but as a whole it looks more natural, as it is more natural than it was. It's true that I like the bright look as well when I have a freshly dyed hair. In addition to the 30 developer cream, I used the 28 client treatment cream. Additionally, I suggest starting at your ends, as your roots may appear too bright otherwise. Starting at the end, I picked up the threads one by one It turned out to be a good test. When I colored my hair in the past, I always began at the roots and worked my way up I would be able to get green hair, but I would colour them much more intensely than my other Having long hair with this treatment I was also concerned about the damage it would cause. You must dry it and make sure it is clean As a result of the intense color, the fruit is brittle. Despite having used other dyes before, I find this to be the least damaging! It's possible I'll try the other colors in the future as well!.

I love this bold red color
5/5

There is nothing better than this product! It was eight years ago when I last dyed my hair, and it was done The time spent in quarantine was hard to bear, so I decided to dye my Since I have Asian black hair, I was worried that my hair would never become red. *I used 8 oz of 30 volume developer on my shoulder-length hair, using 3 Hicolor Red boxes. On the box there are various dye and developer instructions, so I followed those instructions and left it in my hair for approximately There is a strong odor and a bit of burn in the eyes and nose which is why you should make sure you have good air flow and ventilation when dyeing I was able to remove the dye stains in my bathroom by using just a small amount of nail polish remover. In addition, the dye washed off very easily with it only being scrubbed with body soap (I forgot to put vasaline on, so I was a little red afterward). I've been washing my hair with color safe shampoo and conditioner for about a month, and the color is still It is safe for me to say that the color stays in my hair when it is dry. My clothes and pillow do not show any signs of staining.
This is a picture of my hair that I attached in my review. It was taken after I dyed and washed my hair and let it air dry thus, my hair was damp and uncombed when I took the picture. In fact, when my hair was completely dry, it was a shade brighter, but I couldn't get a picture of that moment.

The red color of my curls makes them so bright and beautiful
5/5

I use this product quite often. Depending on what is in stock, I sometimes use two magentas or one red and one magenta. The red dye gives my hair a beautiful bright red color without causing me a lot of damage. I buy it every few months. As for product mixing, I use ion 30 creme developer sensitive as it is a more gentle developer A whisk makes it really smooth, so I mix it in a bowl until it's chunk-free. My root area is not included when I apply the product to cleaned, dry hair. Apply it to my roots and let it rest for 15 minutes, under a plastic cap, after I have allowed it to dry for about 25 minutes. Finally, I rinse out with very cold water until most of the water runs
My hair turns out red, which I get so many compliments on, and I really don't feel or see any dramatic damage to it. The way I keep my curly hair looking bright is to apply raw virgin coconut oil regularly to my hair, and I do not use much heat. The best time for my hair to look its best is when it is exposed to the sun and bright lights. I will go back to this product instead of using awful bleach for years to come.
