What is Volume 20 Developer Used For?
Okay, Houston hair lovers, let’s chat about a true salon superstar: 20 volume developer! If you’ve been dreaming of a richer hair color, saying “buh-bye” to those sneaky grays, or adding some beautiful dimension, chances are this is the magic potion your Lush Hair Folk Salon stylist might reach for.
But what exactly is 20 volume developer, and why is it such a go-to for us professionals? Grab a sweet tea, and let’s get into the glossy details!
Volume 20 Developer: The Inside Scoop
Think of hair developers as the activators that get your color party started. Volume 20 developer contains 6% hydrogen peroxide. This makes it a step up in strength from its gentler cousin, 10 volume. Its job is to gently swell and open your hair’s cuticle (that protective outer layer) a bit more, allowing permanent color to penetrate effectively and work its transformative wonders. It’s like giving the color a VIP pass to really settle in and make itself at home!
Why 20 Volume is a Salon Favorite
At Lush Hair Folk Salon, we adore 20 volume for its versatility and reliability. It’s often called the “workhorse” of hair color, and for good reason! Here’s when it truly shines:
- Lifting Your Natural Shade: Looking to go about 1-2 shades lighter than your natural color? Volume 20 is perfect for this! It provides just the right amount of lift to achieve a noticeable, beautiful change without being too aggressive.
- Conquering Grays with Confidence: This is where 20 volume really earns its stripes! It’s the standard choice for permanent gray coverage. Gray hair can be a bit stubborn, but 20 volume provides enough oomph to open up that resistant cuticle, ensuring your color takes evenly and beautifully, giving you that seamless, youthful look.
- Powering Permanent Color: When you’re ready for a color that lasts, 20 volume is the ideal partner for permanent hair color. It ensures the color molecules deeply penetrate the hair shaft for vibrant, long-lasting results that truly reflect your style.
- Controlled Lightening with Bleach: For services like subtle highlights, balayage, or when a gentle all-over lightening is needed with bleach, 20 volume allows for a more controlled lift. It’s a fantastic option when we want to lighten effectively while being mindful of your hair’s health.
Balancing Act: Benefits & Smart Use
The beauty of 20 volume developer lies in its perfect balance. It’s effective enough to create visible, lasting change and tackle grays, yet still relatively gentle when used correctly, especially compared to higher volumes. However, because it is lifting your hair’s natural pigment and opening that cuticle, precision is key. This isn’t just about slapping on some color; it’s about understanding processing times, your hair’s history, and its current condition.
Fun fact: Healthy hair can stretch up to 30% of its length when wet, but over-processed hair loses this elasticity! That’s why we always prioritize hair health. Using the right developer, like 20 volume, in the hands of a skilled professional ensures your hair stays as healthy and vibrant as your new color.
