Usually 30 volume peroxide is mixed with lightener for blonding purposes. Or for lifting 3 levels with color.
I am a hairstylist and have never heard of peroxide 6 percent. Normally peroxides come in 10vol 20vol 30vol and 40vol. If you are going darker or trying to cover greys you use a 10vol. If you are trying to achieve a lighter look you would use the other three volumes 20-30-40. The difference between them is how long you want your hair to process and what level of lightness you want to achieve. The higher the volume (30-40vol) processes your hair faster and can get it lighter. I would recommend using a 20 volume to start if you want to lighten. It is a safe way to start out. 6% peroxide is also known as 20 volume developer as 3% is 10 volume, 9% is 30 volume, and 12% is 40 volume. Also......for gray coverage...always use 20 volume. 10 volume will NOT cover gray hair.

No, the higher the developer number, the more drastic of a color change it will provide when mixed with dye. 20 volume is generally used to change the hair about two shades, if you would like it more dark or light, use a 30 or 40 to get about 4 shades away from the gray.
No, No you cannot. .... no you can't- but you can mix 10 with 30 volume! These strengths would equal 20 :)
No, 10 is half as weak as 20 volume.. if you mix them equal parts you'll get a weak 15 volume...if you need 30 volume and only have 10,20 mix your color with just less than 2 parts 20 as in 1 oz color 1 3/4 oz 20 volume this will give you just less than 40 but it will be soupy...just spend the money and get 30. hope this helps.

If the target color is only one level lighter, use 20 volume. If it's more than one level, use 30 volume. 40 volume is generally not recommended and should only be used by experienced professional hair colorists.
Depending upon the desired amount of lift, 20 or 30 volume developer should be used when lightening the hair. 20 V. will lift 2 levels and 30 V. will lift three levels on virgin hair. 40 Volume is not recommended.
Yes and no ; some times. =) It depends on what peroxide you're using. If you're using the peroxide you get in the brown bottle at wal-mart for 50 cents then no. But if you're talking about the peroxide that lightens your hair - yes. If you're going to get rid of head lice using the peroxide route try a 20 volume peroxide. This will lighten your hair 1-2 shades (with no bleaching powder!) and kill all lice and nits. You could use a 30 volume if you wanted lighter hair or if you were crazy about getting the lice out, however Do not EVER EVER EVER put 40 volume peroxide directly on your scalp. It will burn your hair off.

Their are 2 parts to a hair color system. The toner, or "color" part, and the developer, or "peroxide" part. Developers come in 4 different strengths called VOLUMES. 10 volume being weakest . Solite Matrix Developer is a peroxide developer. There are several other brands of developers. Most companies make their own brand and encourage you to use it with their toner, but you can use different developers, as long as they are the correct volume for the toner. All are peroxide products in a liquid or a creme consistency. 10 volume lifts the cuticle of the hair and allows the deposit of a color products to grip the hair. Most glazes are meant to be mixed with a 10 volume developer, but the container should tell you what volume ( 10, 20 or 30 ) and the amt to use. If the hair color says mix to a 1:1 ratio, it means for each part toner, use and equal amt of the correct volume developer. 20 volume peroxide developers lighten the hair and lift the cuticle to deposit color, 30 volume is strong stuff, can burn your hair and scalp and should not be used at home. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE TONER BOX.
30
30% of weight by volume(w/v) hydrogen peroxide or 100 volume strength hydrogen peroxide is perhydrol.
Get the peroxide bottle and put the contents of it into a spray bottle. DONT MIX THE PEROXIDE WITH WATER OR LEMON JUICE IT WILL MISS UP THE STRENGTH OF THE PEROXIDE. Spray the peroxide on your hair. Let it dry. You can also go under the blow dryer and it will change colors.**If you go into the sun it will get lighter immediately**
Which developer you use will depend on the color you want to achieve. A 20 developer will give you a darker color than a 30 or 40 developer.
