Review: I keep my hair long (35"+), and thus have to be very gentle with it. I used boxed permanent before switching to Ion Demi about 3 years ago, and in the last year my hair has mostly returned to its virgin state of health (natural curling at the ends, bounce, you know what it is) and I couldn't be happier with this dye. Keeping an air of natural, casual beauty is very important to me, so this is great as you can literally color or touch-up whenever you want without worrying about damage. It's ridiculously easy to whip some up and slap it on your roots before a shower (remember to forgo the conditioner and styling products for at least 24 hours prior), and wake up looking flawless, every single day. I mix Dark Natural Brown and Blue Black 1:1 to get a super deep but not artificial looking black. That's another thing I love about this - you can mix and match to make your ideal color. While it's best to test your concoction on a piece of hair first, it's not the end of the world if you dump it on your entire head - because it'll wash out in a month. I wash my hair once a week, so it lasts at least 3 months - sans root touch ups. But when making the switch from drugstore box dye to a more DIY, it's important to gain at least a small understanding of the chemical reaction you're creating. The most important thing being not accidentally turning demi permanent into permanent with too high volume developer. I see desertcart is recommending 20 volume developer with this and that is NOT what should be used with demi. That's because demi pretty much just sticks to the surface of your hair, and so it's formulated with a lot of pigment to create the same rich color as permanent would. Permanent is meant to be inserted into your strands (much like a tattoo) without losing much pigment. And what makes the difference between semi, demi, or permanent is the volume of your developer. The higher the volume, the more the "scales" on your strands are lifted, the more pigment deposited into the strand. So once you go above 10 with a demi, you've turned it into permanent - a much darker than desired permanent. AND you're stuck with it. 5 to 10 volume, or a demi developer, is what should be used with this dye. Once you get your colors and your ratios right (there are directions in the box for help on how to do this), there won't be much reason to ever go back. Happy Slaying, Sisters Review: I got this while being optimistic since I have had severe allergic reactions from hair dye in the past. I did the spot test without the developer and it still made a reaction. The reaction was delayed, the box says wait 48 hours and I’m glad I did. So, make sure you do a test area if you have sensitive skin even though it’s PPD free etc.
