Can I ask a silly question? I use majicontrast, and I use it with 12%, am i not supposed to? Does 6% give the same result? X

Nooooooo!! It's got lifting agents in it so using 12% will only result in colour blow!

I thought it was only 6 and 9 % but ive just checked my colour chart and it says can be used with 6 9 or 12 % ive only ever used with 6 or 9 and had brilliant results from base 3-4 so may be worth trying a lower peroxide and see if you do get same results xXx

It won't make it brighter just create colour blow, it doesn't contain ammonia buffers but does contain lifting agents, the higher the peroxide you use the more the cuticle is opened and the more product is accepted into the hair but because you've opened the cuticle to much the colour comes out quicker.

Although I agree with Blue, the manufactuers instructions do say you can use 6, 9 or 12% .
I personally try to stick with 6 or possibly 9, as I agree it lasts longer.

I have however used 12% on dark coloured hair, as I had previously used 6% on that particular client and it hardly did anything, the 12% although of course will fade more quickly, definatly lifted better and was brighter, so if they are happy for it to fade more quickly ( and you use a semi/ crazy colour inbetween) and the hair is in good condition. The choice is yours
