No, 20 volume developer will not darken hair by 3 shades. It will lift & deposit when darkening or lift 2 levels when going lighter.

If you're interested in darkening hair by 3 shades, choose a color that's 3 shades darker than you want to be. You can either mix with 10 volume or 20 volume.

Mixing the dark color with 20 volume will be the most favorable as this will deposit deeper (due to the lifting of the hair's cuticle layer). This will help the color not to fade as quickly as it would if 10 volume were used.

The difference between the volumes of developers is that 20 volume gives 2 shades of lift, and 30 gives 3 shades of lift. If you are coloring you your hair darker than your natural hair you want 20 volume and also if your only going up 2 shades of your natural color you would use 20.
