Yes, cream developer is OK to use with gel color.
The consistency will be too runny to apply out of a bottle, so be sure to mix it in a glass or plastic bowl and apply with a tint brush. This will also give you better control. ;)
Redken Color Gels developer is formulated specifically for Gels, but using any developer will still work.
NO! You need both the color or "gel" and the developer. What happens is when you mix the two together they oxidize which creates the color changein your hair. The color will not stay, or possibly evenchange colorwithout the developer.
if you want to catch on fire
Can i use Redkin Color Gels developer instead of Shades EQ developer for my shades glosss application, I don't have the shades developer but I do have the Gel developer Thanks Carol
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.
30 Volume Cream Developer is generally used for high-lift color, blonding, and bleaching.
I am not a hairstylist, but I do my own color at home with Wella Color Charm 7WR and I use the 30 cream developer. It was recommended to me at Sally's. I tried it once with the 20 developer and it turned out weird and dark.
Use equal parts of color and developer. For 2 ounces of color, mix 2 ounces of developer unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer's directions.
Developer and color require an equal parts mixture. If you are using two ounces of color, you would need to use two ounces of developer.
Cream developer alone will not lighten your black hair. You will need to use a bleach or lightener with the cream developer to lighten it.
Cream hair colors are generally mixed with a cream developer.
Any brand cream developer can be used with a color as long as it is mixed according to the manufacturer's directions and it is the appropriate volume.
