The ratio is 1:1. So, 1oz of developer to 1oz of color.
Yes, the appropriate volume developer must be mixed with any Matrix color.
No, it does not have to be in a plastic bowl. You can use a non-metallic bowl when mixing matrix hair color with matrix solite cream developer to avoid any chemical reaction that may alter the color or affect the mixture's performance.
The volume of the developer simply tells you how many levels it will lift your hair so since you are using 30 volume, it will lift your natural color 3 levels higher to help the permanent color show better. The volume/color ratio is 1:1 which means however many oz. of haircolor you use, you put the same number of oz of developer. For example: 2oz permanent haircolor: 2oz of developer I hope this helps you! Source: I am a cosmetologist
Yes, you can use other developers with Matrix hair color products, but it's important to choose the right developer strength for your desired results. Matrix typically recommends using their own developers to ensure optimal performance and color payoff. If you opt for a different developer, make sure it’s compatible with the specific hair color formula you’re using and follow the recommended mixing ratios. Always perform a strand test first to check the outcome.
I believe 1.5 parts would be 1.5 ounces of developer to 4 ounces of color, which doesn't seem like enough developer. Double check the directions. Usually haircolor is either 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. I've never heard of 4:1.5 ratio.
It depends on your natural color and the desired color. And a lot of other variables. Are you lightening your hair, covering grey or just going for a different color. Standard strength is 20 volume. Higher lift colors often require 30 or 40 volume. You should get a consultation with the establishment that sold you the haircolor. if you have colored your hair in the past and want to go lighter, you will need to remove the old haircolor first, usually with bleach. Haircolor will not lighten the artificial color molecules in your hair, only will lighten your natural color. If this is the case, I highly recommend going to a salon for your color. Good luck.
Developer is used with professional color to adjust level of color desired. For example, black hair could be described as level 1, adding blonde highlights would require a 40 volume developer to lift the color of your hair 4 shade levels.
