## Description

desertcart.com : Ion Intensive Shine 3N Dark Natural Brown Demi Permanent Creme Hair Color 3N Dark Natural Brown : Chemical Hair Dyes : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Perfect for maintaining rich color and health, but pick the correct developer! - I keep my hair long (35"+), and thus have to be very gentle with it. I used boxed permanent before switching to Ion Demi about 3 years ago, and in the last year my hair has mostly returned to its virgin state of health (natural curling at the ends, bounce, you know what it is) and I couldn't be happier with this dye. Keeping an air of natural, casual beauty is very important to me, so this is great as you can literally color or touch-up whenever you want without worrying about damage. It's ridiculously easy to whip some up and slap it on your roots before a shower (remember to forgo the conditioner and styling products for at least 24 hours prior), and wake up looking flawless, every single day. I mix Dark Natural Brown and Blue Black 1:1 to get a super deep but not artificial looking black. That's another thing I love about this - you can mix and match to make your ideal color. While it's best to test your concoction on a piece of hair first, it's not the end of the world if you dump it on your entire head - because it'll wash out in a month. I wash my hair once a week, so it lasts at least 3 months - sans root touch ups. But when making the switch from drugstore box dye to a more DIY, it's important to gain at least a small understanding of the chemical reaction you're creating. The most important thing being not accidentally turning demi permanent into permanent with too high volume developer. I see desertcart is recommending 20 volume developer with this and that is NOT what should be used with demi. That's because demi pretty much just sticks to the surface of your hair, and so it's formulated with a lot of pigment to create the same rich color as permanent would. Permanent is meant to be inserted into your strands (much like a tattoo) without losing much pigment. And what makes the difference between semi, demi, or permanent is the volume of your developer. The higher the volume, the more the "scales" on your strands are lifted, the more pigment deposited into the strand. So once you go above 10 with a demi, you've turned it into permanent - a much darker than desired permanent. AND you're stuck with it. 5 to 10 volume, or a demi developer, is what should be used with this dye. Once you get your colors and your ratios right (there are directions in the box for help on how to do this), there won't be much reason to ever go back. Happy Slaying, Sisters
Review: Love this for grey coverage - I have all grey hair and this is better than permanent color for my hair. The 7n Demi is a little darker than the 7n permanent, but it’s a lot more natural looking, so I don’t mind. My hair is shiny and the roots are less noticeable when my hair grows. I prefer using the 10 developer because it's quicker and not as strong as the 30 which was needed for the permanent dye. I don’t shampoo every day and have long hair and am in my 60s. You have to use less dye so one box works for 2 applications - I use a ratio of 2:1 developer:dye and only leave in 30 min. I saw the recommendation for this product on TikTok by a hairdresser who has a huge following so I decided to give it a try. Very happy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: wet or dry application?**
A: Dry

**Q: If i'm using on (bleached) platinum blonde hair do I still need the developer?**
A: Yes, you will need a 10 volume developer, but your processing time might need to be shortened to avoid your color going too dark, unless that is what your desired goal is. I really like the Ion 10 Volume Developer for Sensitive Scalps, it never causes my scalp to sting or itch. I hope this helps, happy coloring!

**Q: what is the ratio to the developer 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 part developer?**
A: If you’re dying your hair normally, it’s one part hair color to two parts developer. But if you want to cover white hair, then the ration is 1 to 1. I have a lot of white hair, and this hair color covers it very well. However, each time I wash my hair, a little bit of the dye fades. I wash my hair every day, and dye it once a month. By the end of the month, my white hair is light brown.

**Q: I don't understand from this description what the product even is.  Is it the tube of color?  The developer?  Both?**
A: It is the tube of color. You will need a 10 vol developer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great products!!!
*by M***S on November 24, 2025*

Very happy with this…the color is intense, so next time I’ll do 5N plus some 4n, you can mix them easily for a custom result. The 4n is a little too dark for my taste, but looks natural. I was very pleased with the texture of my hair afterwards too. I’m one of those people who tried embracing their gray for over two years, and I was totally gray, but it just didn’t feel like me whenever I looked in the mirror… I tried a new hairstyle, conditioning, nothing worked. I simply looked much older than I felt & who wants that? So I love Ion…it’s the best I have ever used. I use it with 10 Developer, so it isn’t too harsh on my hair. Store boxed dyes just made my hair more coarse and brittle, not this! I follow it with the after-color Ion conditioner which is amazing!! My hair is thick & curly & coarse…which is very tough to control and soften…but Ion does all of it plus gives me great shine! No regrets…buying their shampoo today also.
