Review on 💇 Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Developer 20 Volume 6% / 33.8 oz - Professional Hair Color Enhancer by Stefan Eddy

There aren't enough adjectives to describe the color that can be created with this ruler. Just look at my photos, this is the perfect copper for me. I get compliments every day! I've tried every color imaginable, from drugstore to every line in beauty stores to ordering beauty products online. I found colors that were beautiful and very close together, but never ONE. I've paid thousands of dollars to salons over the years to constantly and consistently disappoint me. I went gray very early and have been coloring for a while, so I have quite a bit of experience with many products and techniques. I AM NOT A COSMETOLOGY PROFESSIONAL, this is just my application method, it doesn't necessarily have to be yours. I'm in my shadow area, I'm already level 7 so I can't tell how it works if you go higher or lower. I mix this 1:1 with developer and then add 1 ounce of -77 copper concentrate with another 1 ounce of developer. Also included is one ounce of #1 Amazing Hair Bond (available here at Revain, see my purchase history) and one ounce of Neutral Protein Filler. Before coloring, I soak my hair in a porosity leveling spray I bought at a cosmetics store. Leave on for 30 minutes, rinse thoroughly and shampoo twice. You should use an old towel, even after rinsing it clear and shampooing twice, the towel will still show color after the first 3 or 4 washes after dying. the same color as the permanent color. 3 weeks after coloring with the permanent version of this color, I color refresh with the demi version from the Vibrance line in shade 7-77 with 1 ounce of copper concentrate -77. 3 weeks later (6 weeks after permanent color) I apply it again and the cycle starts again. I love it, I love everything about it. The color is rich and vivid, it also looks beautiful when it fades. The only downside is something I'll never understand: why would we buy those giant bottles of developer that would literally take years to consume? The hair dye comes in 1-2 oz bottles/tubes and this line mixes 1:1 so it takes at least 15 uses to complete this bottle which takes around 2 years if you color every 6 weeks. 2 years? giggle
