Salon Care Creme Developer

20 Volume developer is the standard strength for lifting hair one to two levels or for depositing permanent color. It is generally considered the go-to choice for covering gray hair or darkening your current shade without causing excessive damage.

Yes, this is a universal stabilized formula designed to work with most professional and at-home hair color or lightening powders. However, always check the instructions on your specific color or bleach product to ensure they recommend a 20 Volume developer for your desired result.

The thicker consistency prevents the mixture from dripping or running down your face and neck during application. This makes it much easier to control, especially when you are sectioning hair or applying color yourself at home.

The 0.5-gallon size is quite large and is primarily intended for frequent users or those who color their hair often. If you only color your hair once or twice a year, you may find this volume difficult to store before it loses its potency.

Like most creme developers, it has a distinct chemical scent due to the peroxide content. While it is standard for the category, working in a well-ventilated area is always recommended to keep the experience comfortable.
