To mix Satin Hair Color with developer, you simply combine the color with the developer in a specific ratio.
According to the information provided, the correct way to mix is to mix Satin Hair Color 1:2 with Demi Developer. Once mixed, you typically process the color for 20 minutes to achieve results that can last up to 6-8 weeks.
Understanding the Mixing Ratio
The ratio 1:2 indicates the proportion of hair color to developer.
- 1 Part: Satin Hair Color
- 2 Parts: Demi Developer
This means you will use twice as much developer as you use of the hair color.
Practical Mixing Example
Mixing accurately is crucial for desired results. Here's a simple breakdown:
Ingredient | Quantity (Example) |
---|---|
Satin Hair Color | 1 oz |
Demi Developer | 2 oz |
Total Mixture | 3 oz |
Or, if you're using grams:
Ingredient | Quantity (Example) |
---|---|
Satin Hair Color | 30 grams |
Demi Developer | 60 grams |
Total Mixture | 90 grams |
Always measure carefully using a scale or measuring cups designed for hair color mixing to ensure the correct 1:2 ratio is maintained.
The Mixing Process
- Gather Supplies: You will need your chosen Satin Hair Color shade, the recommended Demi Developer, a non-metallic bowl, and a brush or whisk for mixing.
- Measure Color: Measure the desired amount of Satin Hair Color into your mixing bowl.
- Measure Developer: Measure the Demi Developer, ensuring the amount is exactly double the amount of hair color measured in the previous step (maintaining the 1:2 ratio). Add the developer to the bowl with the color.
- Mix Thoroughly: Gently mix the color and developer together until a smooth, consistent mixture is achieved. Ensure there are no dry pockets of color or streaks of developer.
- Proceed to Application: Once mixed, the color is ready to be applied to the hair. As noted, the typical processing time is 20 minutes.
Following the recommended 1:2 mixing ratio with Demi Developer and the 20-minute processing time helps ensure the expected results for your Satin Hair Color application.
