I dye my wife's hair for her. Since moving from the off the shelf all in one dyes to the blonde me system I have found this video very helpful and have watched it several times to remind myself about the effect of varying the ratio.
I have been looking for an answer to how changing the ratio of developer changes the results for awhile without any luck. Thank you so much for this clear, easy explanation!
In all of my years learning about hair coloring / lifting at home on the internet & you’re the first person to put this in a way that makes sense & is so black & white about it, thank you!!!
Great video and super clear explanation... THANK YOU!!!
I’m pretty excited about having found your channel. I’ve been doing hair for… well, for a long time. I love it when I find content that actually teaches me something new. It’s pretty great. Thanks for sharing your considerable knowledge. I’m off to watch another one of your videos!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy the content. If there's anything I can make a video on for you let me know

Learned exactly what I needed to know w/o excess chat. I would love to learn how to cut coarse straight Asian hair and thinning it using the thinning shears esp the back, please. Thx!
Thank you❤
so mixing lightener 1:2 is going to have more lift if left the same amount of hours than 1:1,5 ?
Can I mix blondeme 9 and colour that I want for example light brown because my hair is very dark and I want in one session to become light brown and not firs bleach and after tone?
Thank u
congrats!
So, I purchased the blonde me ice toner and the 20 volume developer, I haven't used it yet. I will be using it tomorrow or the next day. My hair is bleached and from the root down is pretty light blonde with a light tint of yellow and my ends are light orange. I've been watching videos and I've seen ppls hair go from what mine is to a white with the ice toner so I'm hoping it will work for me. If anyone has any suggestions please leave me a reply. I've also seen someone mix well 050 I think, in with the other toner too and I'm unsure what that does. I'm trying to get to the lightest blonde almost white blonde so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
are you saying that if i start with 20 volume developer 1:1 ratio, my developer changes to 10?

Thank you 😢
Thanks for watching
My head 🤯... simplify me! .. I want understand again
Same here. I needed a simple answer.
Ah, so that's why high lifts require double 30-40vol developer since 1:1 would just half the amount of oxygen. Definitely gonna try 1:3 ratio with lightener
I knew you would get it
The only thing I dont understand is whats the difference between using 30 vol at 1:1 and using 20 vol at 3:1? Is it just for consistency sake?
Yes it is just consistency. However there are many stylists who "mix to consistency" rather than measuring. So the real intent of this video is to demonstrate that they may be using unpredictable product that is possibly stronger than they think. But also how to reliably manipilate the consistency of the product while maintaining predictable results.
Blondme line can mixer with igora royal
I don t understand. If i want a very big lift, Platinum, should i use 1:1 or 1:2?
1:2
Thanks !! So helpful. And i was thinking other way (puting more developper would dilute the strengh😅😅). Here is my question. If i have a 30 vol developper, how do I do to "turn" it into a 20 vol ?? (I use blondme like you). Thanks a lot !!
I have another video on this. "What if I run out of 20 volume" , but in short equal parts 30 volume and 10 volume will make 20. Or in a pinch, 2 parts 30 and 1 part water will also make 20.
Thanks for watching!
Please can you help me. I'm not lightening my hair, I'm trying to use schwarzkopf bond enforcing colour remover.
It says on the instructions add part a and part b sachet with 60 g of developer, then there's a mixing ratio table underneath saying 1:1:2. Does that mean I need to add x 2 60 g of developer(120 g).
I purchased a 20 vol developer and I want 2-3 levels of lift.
Hope you can help, as I'm not a professional or anything.
I'm not familiar with this product but usually the mixing ratio is there in case you want to use more or less of parts a/b than the sachet. This would be confirmed if each sachet is 30 mL
If that's the case then just the 60 of developer.
Best of luck!
@@CosmoDad thank you
So, if I want to cover grey hair and if i am required to use 20 volume developer (6%) at 1:1 ratio then should I add 2 parts of the developer to keep 6% ratio to my final mix that is color and developer.
No, you would stick with 1:1 20 vol. You will get the intended working volume you need. Thanks for watching!
Also, I notice that after a week my roots turn to grey. Was wondering whether there is any other way I can prolonged the grey process of the roots?
I'm assuming you mean the new growth. Somewhere between 1/8th and 1/4 inch(3-6 mm). If this is the case then unfortunately no, but there are some tricks you can use to make it less noticable. I should do a video about that soon
@@CosmoDad please waiting for the video
thank u
Thank you for watching
@@CosmoDad hi! if you could answer these questions you would literally be a life saver.
1) ive seen some professionals lift level 2 black hair to a level 8.5-9 in one session with blondeme and 20vol or even 10 vol. how do they avoid the orange stage? I think they leave it on for over an hour. I have level 2 black hair and I left blondeme + 20 vol on for maybe around 50 minutes and got to a level 8/8.5 (no foil, just a head cap). should i have left it on for longer?
2) does hair breakage start when it goes past a level 9? or can it even break when it's orange? like if I leave blondeme + 20vol on my hair for over an hour (reapplying to keep it moist), is it possible for it to melt off even if it's not a level 9 pale yellow? or will it only start to melt once it goes past a level 9.
for the first question, the situation was doing my roots :-) but my roots were grown out like an inch. the rest of my hair is like a level 9-10. I made sure not to overlap but forgot about blondeme swelling. the first round I had no breakage even with the blondeme swelling- left it on for 50 min with head cap and 20 vol. ended up pretty light but not a level 9 light. so I did olaplex treatments and waited 2 weeks and then did my roots again with blondeme + 20 vol and a head cap. i left it on for like 45 min and my hair ended up snapping a lot. the breakage wasn't that bad because I have a lottt of hair but i still lost a lot of hair :,) but my roots lightened to a level 9-10 after the second round.
im going to bleach my grown out roots again (1.5 inches of regrowth) so I'm trying to figure it out haha
Can you show how to cut long layers
It's been a while since I did a haircut video. This is a good one. give me a few weeks and I'll have one out ❤
why does everyone say that 1:1 ratio is the strongest compared to 1:2? or is that for different volumes to 20 vol
I think that a higher concentration of persulfates is often thought of as stronger but I have observed that a higher concentration of peroxide is in fact more effective. You will get better lift with a 1:2 regardless of vol of developer
@@CosmoDad thank you!! you made this less confusing
When diluting developer with water is it by weight it by volume?
Either. Weight will always be more precise but volume works too
Been a cosmetologist since 1998. To this day it blows my mind those who can cut their own hair at home.
I noticed that you used two different brands of developers. I was wondering if there is any effect on lightener when using or not using the designated developers
For the most part there is no difference. Developers are almost universal. The most important part is the oxygen. I should do a video with 5 or 6 different developers and 1 lightener and compare
@@CosmoDad thank you, this question has been on my mind for a while leading me to go out of my way to buy the designated brand of developer even if I already have the volumes I needed.
@@CosmoDad so I can use any developer with the blonde me bleach?!
You blew our freakin mind at our shop !!! Does God exist???? 😵
🤣😂❤
Mulet please🙂 Let's say I already have round layers haircut. How can I make beautiful mulet of it? By saying 'beautiful' I mean BEAUTIFUL, not punk mulet.🙂
Lol. I'm thinking the softer versions of the trending "wolf cut". Even though examples of that are all over the place and some are decidedly punk.
You have a gift to explain what is important in a process. So if you would decide to show us how to do a wolf cut, do it👍
Bixi cut 🤷🏻♂️
I've been thinking about that. I'll probably do one. Thanks for watching and commenting
This makes absolutely no sense.
I don't think the comments are correct. 1:1 is stronger than 1:2.
Not the other way around like all these comments are saying.
