Great video thank you! I’m not super familiar with Paul Mitchell I have used it back 20years ago lol looking for a great demi for my daughter and we are goin to try a new line @cosmopro this was helpful. How well does it cover over other Demi’s in a different line a shade same level?
I feel stupid asking this but this is what I’ve always done. Can’t u mix the permanent color with 10vol to make it demi? So I’ll touch up the grey with 20vol to cover the grey and then I’ll mix the same permanent color again with 10vol just to freshen up the ends
Emily E yes you can! Not a stupid question at all! 10 vol gives minimal lift and deposit only so it makes it the perfect option to put on the ends 👍🏻 I’ve done the same thing
Also...you can drop 20 vol to 10 vol.by diluting with water...( there is actually a dilution chart you can google )using the same color mixture ..rather than remixing. I also like using the same color with different levels of developer in order to achieve a dimensional look..for example, making your client's hair 3 shades of blonde ..brown etc.in one appt. Weaving/ painting the hair with the variation of colors , while the new growth is processing
You did not mention the volume with the permanent color for grey roots I’m using 20 volume is that right? I saw 10 on your table and I’m a med brown ?? Jill
Did you have a problem with crema xg lifting the natural hair color? I bought them when they first came out and tried them on myself first. So I would know before trying on a client. And it lifted my natural
@@meganlorson I use the crema xg 8pa with 5 volume for a shadow root. And 10v on mids to ends with 5 volume. I had like a little less then a month grow out of my natural color. I still have all the colors 🤣. Havnt used since then.
I have always mixed it with 10 volume (manufacturers instructions) and I have never had a problem with it lifting and I let it process for 20 minutes. Maybe try 10 volume and give it another try and see how it does for you.
Yes I love the PA’s! It’s Pearl Ash so it’s great for toning out unwanted orange yellow color and if you leave it on for the full processing time you’ll get more of that Pearl ash color
Have you experienced the need to drop a level in this color line? I’ve used it a few times and this is what I’ve found, personally...any other tricks or tips?
What would you do if you are 100 percent gray on top, 50 in the back. Hair is dyed dark brown. I used the color with 10 volume for years. I can't use 20 volume at all. It makes me itch like crazy even with other color brands. 10 volume is permanent for me. This last time used xg with 10 volume and it's not fading at all. I want to let gray grow out. I don't want permanent color. I want it to fade out completely. During the process, I don't want half my head gray and bottom brown. I normally do roots every 4 weeks now anyway.
Hi so I had a lady who had some 9-10 level highlights but wanted lavender and ash in it and not permanent. So I weaved in some 8V and 10PA of the creama XG. And she said lavender got washed out first wash. I don’t understand what happened ? Can you let me know what could have happened.
Thank you for this video. I have been frantically trying to figure out what I should use when I run out of my last tube of shines xg!! I am about 70% grey, but have been getting full coverage for years with shines XG (5N or 5NN) with 10 volume (processing for about 55 min). I don't not want to switch to permanent color, but I am so confused. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You should try the Demi or try crema do the same thing you normally do with the shines. You will probably get the same results if you like the shines the Demi is pretty much the same thing. The Demi is a bit more translucent and the crema is a more opaque
If you are looking for the best color to cover gray hair that’s going to be permanent hair color and I personally love using Paul Mitchell The Color XG for gray coverage
I love pm shines but since they discontinued I’ve used the Demi twice n I agree it’s shiny but the coverage isn’t the same nor the depth I’m using same process solution as the shines should I up the level to get more coverage? I would hate to have to switch to Shades from the other guys 😬
With the Demi there are multiple ways to use it so depending on how you use it will determine your end result. You will always get true deposit/ more opacity when using it on dry hair and letting it process for the full 20 min. If using on damp hair to tone I typically let it process from 5-20 minutes just depending on if I am toning a blonde vs refreshing someone’s ends. I actually usually feel like the Demi is pretty accurate and if anything goes about a shade darker in a lot of cases. What shades are you feeling like your not getting enough coverage with or seeing enough depth with?
Thank u so very much for your advice! It’s the reds not as deep but I did use on damp hair so I’ll stop that n also noticed with 10A but used 10 volume with that the next time n it was great hope that’s ok! Again thank u!!!
They are not going to be making it anymore so I suggest using the Demi’s! I used to use pmshines all the time but I have switched over to using the Demi and converted all of my formulas to Paul a Mitchell the Demi
It is all about no I probably won't get an answer I've been homeless things have been really really bad so to say the least I did this scrapping metal at a construction site didn't know steel was worth so little and so heavy but anyway so I found a bunch of hair dye I'm sure it's not in the best quality but I'll take my chances I had boxed bleach my roots were horrendous I don't think I had dyed my hair and possibly a year anyway so now it was already a bunch of different colors pretty though Carmel blonde light blonde plus where I'm staying the water is hard irony I can't catch a break so I'm wondering if I have out of my freebies what I could use to change this into a decent blonde I don't have all the Denny's but I have quite a few I have some tens some nines and I have 20 volume and 10 volume developer. Thank you so much and sorry for the story maybe I need to get out more. Have a blessed day and a great holiday season I love your videos

Old school & very cost effective..toner last longer in hair as well..clients like that
Also...you can drop 20 vol to 10 vol.by diluting with water...( there is actually a dilution chart you can google )using the same color mixture ..rather than remixing.

Do you prefer The Color XG over The Color or do you like both and why? Thank you!
thanks so much, great video
How can I remove red colored hair back to blonde shade by using Paul Mitchell color
I don’t see where you put instructions about the damn I permanent one
Did you have a problem with crema xg lifting the natural hair color? I bought them when they first came out and tried them on myself first. So I would know before trying on a client. And it lifted my natural
No I haven’t had that happen.....what formula did you use? What color and developer?

Would the 8PA be good for an organgy yellow blonde base?

How do you like PM shines?
I love PM Shines but ever since they came out with the Demi that is my go to 🙌🏻

Paul mitchel vs the color?
What's the best product for covering grey. (dark hair)
If you are looking for the best color to cover gray hair that’s going to be permanent hair color and I personally love using Paul Mitchell The Color XG for gray coverage
I love pm shines but since they discontinued I’ve used the Demi twice n I agree it’s shiny but the coverage isn’t the same nor the depth I’m using same process solution as the shines should I up the level to get more coverage? I would hate to have to switch to Shades from the other guys 😬

I will also tell you that only the N series, NB, BV, and Gs have a brown base and all the other shades are just tone with no brown base

Is the PM Shines from Paul Mitchell still available? I'm a Paul Mitchell student but had to take a couple of months off for medical reasons.
They are not going to be making it anymore so I suggest using the Demi’s! I used to use pmshines all the time but I have switched over to using the Demi and converted all of my formulas to Paul a Mitchell the Demi
Can you mix the demi and pm shines ?
Hey Drew! No, they are 2 different products and shouldn’t be mixed
