COLORCHARM Cream Hair Color Developers | For Activating Color, Highlighting

I’ve been coloring my hair at home since I was 15, and this is one of the few developers I genuinely feel confident recommending. I used this with Wella Color Charm Permanent Liquid Hair Color in a custom mix of half 8N (Light Natural Blonde) and half 8G (Light Golden Blonde), paired with a 10 volume developer. I applied everything with a bowl and brush, and the results honestly looked like I had it done professionally. For reference, I started with medium auburn brown hair and visible grays around my part and hairline. My goal wasn’t a dramatic change, just to blend grays, soften my overall tone, and add warmth and dimension, and this developer played a huge role in achieving that. Why this developer worked so well: The 10 volume strength was gentle but still effective. It allowed the color to deposit evenly without over-processing, which helped keep the final result soft and natural-looking rather than harsh or overly lifted. Application: It mixed smoothly with the color and had a nice, workable consistency. Not too thick, not too runny. It spread easily through the hair, which made even saturation simple as long as I worked in sections. Using a bowl and brush gave me the most control, especially around my hairline where I have the most grays. The scent is definitely “salon-like,” but not overwhelming. Processing: I left it on for about 30 minutes with no heat, just a shower cap. It performed exactly as expected with no irritation or discomfort. Results: The color came out soft, dimensional, and very natural. The developer allowed the tones to come through cleanly, warm without turning brassy. Gray coverage was excellent, especially in the front, and everything blended seamlessly. Hair condition: My hair felt soft, smooth, and healthy afterward, not dry or brittle. It actually looked shinier after coloring, which isn’t always the case with at-home color. Longevity: After several washes, the color is holding evenly with no patchiness or odd tonal shifts. Things to keep in mind: • This is a pro-style product, so you’ll need to mix your own formula • Best used with a bowl and brush for control • Full saturation is key for even results and gray coverage Overall: This developer performed exactly how a quality salon product should. It’s gentle, reliable, and helps deliver truly professional-looking results at home. If you’re comfortable mixing your own color, this is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely keep using it.

I used this 10-volume cream developer for a strand test before coloring my hair, and I was happy with how easy it was to work with. The consistency is creamy, mixes well, and applies evenly. One thing I appreciated was that it didn’t leave my hair feeling overly dry or damaged after the test, which is always a plus. Initially, I hoped it would lift a little more of my existing color, but after learning more about 10-volume developers, I realized that isn’t really its purpose. I also have years of permanent black dye on my hair, which makes lifting color much more difficult. If you’re purchasing this product, keep in mind that a 10-volume developer is designed primarily for depositing color or making subtle changes, not for significant lightening. Overall, I think it’s a quality developer that performs as expected when used for its intended purpose. Just be sure to choose the right developer strength based on your hair goals.

Great price. Good developer

Reliable trusty developer. Mixes well with crème and powder bleach or dye. I always use the Wella brand. :)

This is my go to, paired with Wella Color Charm Demi Perm. I've used this line as a professional, and at home hairstylist for over twenty years. Some of the colors have unfortunately changed over time, as they do. The formula remains gentle, and offers tremendous gray BLENDING. Highly recommend following the instructions and measuring the agents PROPERLY, or it will NOT have the staying power on grays! Free tip - for stubborn grays, process with a cap and add heat in 5 minute intervals per processing time, then rinse with the coldest water you can stand..the color will stain, better! The neutral shades do turn out dark, often darker than anticipated, so please select one shade lighter than you wish for with these when blending grays and toning.

I’ve used this developer a few times now, and overall it works really well. The consistency is smooth and easy to mix with hair color, and it applies evenly without being too runny. It provides a nice gentle lift and really helps achieve rich, multi-dimensional results as advertised. The quality feels professional, and it blends gray coverage quite effectively. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have an overpowering smell compared to other developers I’ve tried. My hair felt soft after rinsing, not overly dry or damaged. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that the bottle size could be a bit bigger for the price, especially if you color your hair regularly. That said, it’s still a solid value for the quality, and I would definitely repurchase.

I have used permanent boxed hair dye many times and always struggled to correct the brassiness it causes- especially on the new growth at roots. After trying to color correct this with hair color remover and re-dying, I caused major damage to my hair. My hair was breaking off and would not take color at all. I started researching hair dye and what causes brassiness and realized I should never have been using the 20 volume developer that boxed hair dyes include in the first place. 20 lifts too much and causes damage and brassiness, 10 deposits without lift and you don't get the brassiness or damage. I did some protein treatments on my hair and replaced the box dye developer with 10 volume and the results are so much better. I wish I had known this sooner!

I bought this developer again because it’s become a must-have in my hair color routine. It mixes perfectly with my WELLA COLORCHARM products and gives me consistent, even results every time. The formula creates a smooth application, making it easy to work through my hair without any mess. My color comes out vibrant and professional-looking, and my hair still feels soft afterward. I’ll definitely keep this as my go-to developer!

I’ve been doing my own color for a while now, and using a high-quality cream developer like this makes a huge difference in the final look. The consistency is perfect—it’s thick enough that it doesn't drip or run, but it still mixes easily with the color to create a smooth, even paste. I found it to be very effective for achieving solid gray coverage and consistent highlighting without being overly harsh on my hair. It’s a reliable staple for anyone looking to get professional, predictable results without the salon price tag. Pros: Smooth cream consistency for easy mixing and application. Excellent for gray coverage and achieving vibrant color. Large bottle size provides great value for multiple uses. Cons: Like any chemical developer, it has a distinct scent, so make sure you’re using it in a well-ventilated space.

Muy buena marca ,soy estilista

I’ve been really happy with the Wella Color Charm 10 Volume Developer! I used it with my hair and it helped me get my level 7 hair to a much lighter, bleach-blonde look. It worked really well for what I was trying to achieve and gave me a nice, even result. I’m really impressed with how well it worked and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking to lighten your hair. Also really good to use with toner it’s not to harsh

Pensé que era más grande pero llegó en excelente estado

i don't really know what this does but my hair turned out good so its 5 stars
