In the context of Clairol, a "developer" refers to a peroxide solution used in hair coloring processes. It activates the color and helps it penetrate the hair shaft, allowing for effective color application and desired results. Developers come in various volumes (e.g., 10, 20, 30, and 40) that determine the level of lift or lightening achieved during the coloring process.
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.
Yes, this lightener needs to be mixed with at least a 20 Volume developer.
Any hair dye with 20 volume developer or higher is permanent.
