No, you don't NEED it. It's only used to "thicken" up the mixture but, It's definitely easier for "me" to apply it this way.

it depends on the dye you used. To be sure, do a "test strand"

Do a "test strand" That is, make a little mixture to apply to a bitty section of your hair.


9) How long should I leave it on?
20-30 minutes.
