Step 4: Determine the Volume of Generator Needed
CHI Color Generators are formulated to give up to 1 level of lift for
every 10 volume of developer used. Always strand test prior to any
application.
Once you have determined the below, it is easy to determine the
volume generator needed.
1. Client's natural level (Step 1)
2. The level you wish to achieve (Step 2)
3. The tone you wish to achieve (Step 3)
If you are lifting
• Determine how many levels you want to lift: one, two, three or four
• This will indicate which developer strength to use 10, 20, 30 or 40
Volume
If you are depositing, staying on a same level or going
darker
• The CHI Color Generator 10 Volume is always recommended to
achieve maximum color deposit
CHI Color Generator Volume Lifting Action
• Lighter colors have more lifting action
• Darker colors have less lifting and more depositing action
• Therefore, lifting capacity will vary from level to level, especially
when mixed with higher volumes of CHI Color Generators
