2.6 oz of developer.
Manic Panic color is meant to be used straight from the container. It is not to be mixed with a developer.
i think 2.4 oz. I could be wrong. dont take my word for it :/
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.
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.
You have to have a actuall hair color to mix with it. Use 2oz of the color and 4oz of the developer and mix. And apply to your hair
More than likely the Loreal color kits provide 20 Volume developers.
If the hair is naturally red, this color will only subtly lighten it. If the hair is artificially colored red, the Loreal box color will do nothing... as color doesn't lift color. You will need to use a lightener with 20 volume developer instead.
It is not recommended to double the volume of developer to achieve the desired strength. Using a 10-volume developer when a 20-volume developer is needed can result in uneven hair color or ineffective processing. It is best to use the correct developer volume for the hair color you are using.
A 10 volume creme developer is a type of hydrogen peroxide solution used in hair coloring or bleaching to lift the hair color by one level. It is a gentle developer that is suitable for deposit-only color, toning, or color correction with minimal lifting. The "volume" refers to the strength or concentration of the peroxide in the developer.
Redken Camo color is designed to be mixed with equal parts of 10-volume (3%) peroxide developer for natural-looking results.
The ratio of 40 volume creme developer to permanent hair color is typically 1:1. This means you would use the same amount of developer as you do hair color. For example, if you mix 2 ounces of hair color, you would also use 2 ounces of 40 volume creme developer.
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.
