What are hair developers?

Hair developers, also known as oxidising agents or hydrogen peroxide developers, are essential components in the process of hair coloring. These hair color developers are used in conjunction with the hair color or bleach to achieve the desired shade or level of lightness. These play a crucial role in the chemical reaction that occurs during the hair coloring process.

Hair developers contain hydrogen peroxide, which acts as an oxidising agent. When mixed with professional hair color or hair color lightener, the developer aids the opening of hair cuticles, allowing the color or bleach to penetrate the shaft. By doing so, the hair color developer enables the removal of natural pigments or deposits new color molecules into the hair strands, resulting in a change in hair color.

Which hair developer should you use?

Hair developers are available in different volumes, typically measured in percentages or "volumes" such as 10, 20, 30, or 40. The volume indicates the strength or concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the color developer. Your choice of hair color developer volume depends on the desired outcome and the starting color of your hair.

Hair developers with a lower volume, like 10 or 20, are used for deposit-only color or when a subtle color change is desired. Higher volume hair color developers, such as 30 or 40, are used for more significant color transformations or when you want to lighten the hair.

Darker hair or, one which might have previous color deposits, may require a higher volume hair developer to achieve the desired result. It's important to note that higher volume hair developers have a stronger bleaching or lightening effect. These color developers, however, need to be followed with proper hair care since they tend to be damaging if not used correctly.

How to use a hair developer?

Step 1: Choose the volume of the hair color developer as per your needs and desire. This helps determine how light or dark the color will appear on your hair.

Step 2: Mix the hair developer with the color you choose from varied hair color products in the ratio mentioned on the packaging of the hair color. For instance, mix with SoColor in 1.5 ratio and with Wonder Color in 1:1 ratio.

Step 3: Ensure that the product does not come in direct contact with the eyes.
