- Do I need a developer to use this?
- Yes. It is a permanent color cream sold without developer, so you mix it with a developer before applying. Follow the developer volume recommended for the shade and your desired lift.
- What color result does 66.66 give?
- It is an intense purple-red, a bold red-violet tone. On darker hair it reads as a deep burgundy; on lighter or pre-lightened hair the purple-red is more vivid.
- Does it cover gray hair?
- Colorsmetique is a permanent line and is generally used for gray coverage, though very bold fashion shades may show gray differently. A strand test shows how it will read on your gray.
- How is it different from a drugstore box dye?
- It comes as color cream only, so you choose and add the developer and mix it yourself. That gives more control over intensity and tone, but it is less foolproof than an all-in-one kit.
- How long does the color last?
- As a permanent color it does not wash out completely, but the vivid purple-red tone fades gradually over several weeks. Color-safe shampoo and less frequent washing slow the fade.
- Is it suitable for beginners?
- It can be used at home, but the separate developer and intense pigment make it less forgiving than a box kit. Beginners should do a strand and patch test first.
