The supplies you will need are: Rattail Comb, Mixing Bowl, Tint Brush, Lightener, 30 Volume Developer, and Semi-Permanent Hair Color.

Mixing ratio is 1:1 (equal parts color and developer).

However, if you're more experienced, creme color allows for greater control and more precise application. Ultimately, the choice between liquid and creme color also comes down to personal preference.
