Redken Color Gels mixing ration is 1:1...however, if you're not a professional, you should steer clear of professional products. But if you are...that's my favorite permanent color line, I'm very picky and have been extremely pleased. A note of advice about Color Gels...since they're created for coverage they have a LOT of pigmentation. Therefore, on MOST people, they turn out a little darker...like 1-2 shades. Also, DONT USE HEAT.
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.
The ratio is 1:1. So, 1oz of developer to 1oz of color.
Redken Color Gels developer is formulated specifically for Gels, but using any developer will still work.
Mix equal parts of developer and Wella color.
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.
A creme developer is used on the hair to help lift and tone the color. The developer will speed up the lightening process of the hair and is typically used when bleaching or highlighting the hair.
Making an at-home developer to be used with Redken Color Gels is not possible. You can however, use any brand developer though.
Yes, the appropriate volume developer must be mixed with any Matrix color.
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.
It appears there may be a typographical error in your question. Assuming you are asking about using a hair color cream with a clear developer, it is important to note that the developer plays a crucial role in activating the hair color molecules and determining the final color result. Using a clear developer with a hair color cream may not provide the desired results as the developer needs to have a specific volume (strength) to effectively lighten or deposit color on the hair. It is recommended to use the developer specifically recommended for the hair color cream you are using to achieve the best and desired outcome.
NO...What would be the purpose? Developer is just an activator for color or bleach.
No, cream developer and liquid developer are formulated differently and should not be mixed together. Using them together can affect the effectiveness of the developer and the final result of the hair color. It's best to stick to using the developer recommended by the hair color product you are using.
