Due to the many positive reviews I got me the color, because I had to light my bleached hair in the winter and I had an extreme yellow tinge. But for that there are no specific instructions in the description. Approach I had not so up the whole 15 minutes and acted. Positives: the yellowness was completely gone, aaaaaaber now knew my husband what I look like one with 60, the hair was gray. So the darker color is not suitable.
