How Much Bremod Hair Color Do You Need for Your Hair?

Most people need between half a tube and two tubes of Bremod hair colour, depending on their hair length, thickness and whether they are colouring the roots or the full head.

As a starting estimate:

Short, fine hair may need half a 100ml tube.
Short, thick hair may need one full tube.
Medium hair usually needs one tube.
Long or thick hair may need one and a half to two tubes.
Very long and thick hair may require two to three tubes.
A root touch-up may need approximately one-quarter to half a tube.

These estimates refer to the colour cream before adding developer. Always check the instructions supplied with your specific Bremod product for the correct mixing ratio and application method.

Bremod Hair Color Quantity Calculator

Choose your hair length, then adjust the amount based on thickness.

Hair length	Fine hair	Average thickness	Thick hair
Root touch-up only	25 to 35ml	30 to 50ml	40 to 60ml
Very short hair	30 to 40ml	40 to 50ml	50 to 70ml
Short hair	40 to 50ml	50 to 70ml	70 to 100ml
Medium hair	60 to 80ml	80 to 100ml	100 to 150ml
Long hair	90 to 120ml	120 to 160ml	150 to 200ml
Very long hair	120 to 160ml	150 to 200ml	200 to 300ml

These are planning estimates, not fixed manufacturer measurements. Hair density, texture, porosity and application method can all affect the amount required.

Bremod colour products available on Orange Cosmetics include 100ml tubes. Based on that size, the table can be converted into the following number of tubes.

How Many 100ml Bremod Tubes Should You Buy?

Hair type	Suggested quantity to have available
Root touch-up	1 tube
Very short or short, fine hair	1 tube
Short, thick hair	1 tube
Medium, fine hair	1 tube
Medium, average hair	1 tube
Medium, thick hair	2 tubes
Long, fine hair	2 tubes
Long, average hair	2 tubes
Long, thick hair	2 tubes
Very long, fine or average hair	2 tubes
Very long, thick hair	3 tubes

Buying one complete tube does not mean that the entire tube must be used. The table indicates how much colour should be available before you begin.

It is better to have slightly more product available than to run out halfway through an application. However, do not mix extra colour unnecessarily because mixed hair colour should not normally be stored for later use.

Step 1: Identify Your Hair Length

Use the following guide to classify your hair.

Very Short Hair

Hair that is cropped close to the head or cut above the ears.

Examples include:

Pixie cuts
Buzz cuts
Short cropped styles

Short Hair

Hair that reaches approximately between the ears and chin.

Examples include:

Short bobs
Chin-length cuts
Layered short styles

Medium Hair

Hair that falls between the chin and shoulders or slightly below the shoulders.

Long Hair

Hair that reaches below the shoulders and extends towards the middle of the back.

Very Long Hair

Hair that reaches the lower back or beyond.

Length is only the first part of the calculation. Two people with shoulder-length hair may need very different amounts if one has fine hair and the other has thick, dense hair.

Step 2: Check Your Hair Thickness

Hair thickness can refer to both the width of individual strands and the total amount of hair on the head.

For quantity planning, overall density is particularly important.

Fine or Low-Density Hair

You may have fine or low-density hair if:

Your ponytail feels relatively small.
Your scalp is easily visible when the hair is parted.
Hair sections are easy to saturate.
You normally use less shampoo or conditioner than other people with the same hair length.

Average-Thickness Hair

Your hair is likely of average thickness if it does not appear particularly fine or dense and can be divided into manageable sections easily.

Thick or High-Density Hair

You may have thick or high-density hair if:

Your ponytail feels large.
You need several sections to apply products evenly.
It takes time to saturate all the hair.
Your scalp is difficult to see when the hair is parted.
You frequently need more conditioner or styling product.

When uncertain, use the higher quantity estimate. Running out of colour can produce uneven coverage.

Step 3: Decide Whether You Are Colouring Roots or the Full Head

The quantity needed for a root touch-up is much lower than the amount required for a complete colour application.

Root Touch-Up

A root application normally covers only the visible regrowth near the scalp.

Depending on the amount of regrowth and hair density, approximately 25 to 60ml of colour cream may be enough.

One 100ml tube should generally provide enough product for a single root application, with the exact amount depending on the instructions and coverage required.

Full-Head Application

A full-head application covers the roots, middle lengths and ends.

Full coverage requires more product because every section needs to be saturated evenly. Medium, long or thick hair may require more than one tube.

Do not assume that one tube will cover a full head simply because it covered the roots during a previous application.

Step 4: Adjust for Hair Texture and Condition

Hair texture and porosity can affect how easily the mixture spreads and absorbs.

Curly and Coily Hair

Curly or coily hair may appear shorter because of shrinkage but can still have substantial length and density when stretched.

Calculate the quantity using:

Stretched length
Overall density
Number of sections needed
Previous product usage

Do not use visible length alone.

Porous or Previously Treated Hair

Porous hair may absorb colour differently across the lengths and ends.

Hair may be more porous if it has been:

Lightened
Bleached
Frequently coloured
Chemically straightened
Damaged by heat
Exposed to repeated chemical treatments

Previously treated hair may need a more careful application plan rather than simply more product. Strand testing is particularly important when the lengths and roots are in different conditions.

Coarse Hair

Coarse strands may require thorough saturation. If the hair is also dense, use the higher estimate for the relevant length.

Simple Bremod Quantity Formula

Use this formula as a planning tool:

Base amount for hair length + thickness adjustment + extra allowance

Base Amount

Hair length	Starting amount
Very short	35ml
Short	50ml
Medium	80ml
Long	120ml
Very long	160ml

Thickness Adjustment

Add:

Fine hair: 0ml
Average hair: 20ml
Thick hair: 40 to 60ml

Extra Allowance

Add approximately 10 to 20ml if:

You are colouring your hair for the first time.
Your hair is difficult to section.
You frequently run out of product.
Your hair is very porous.
You are applying colour to the complete length.

Example 1: Medium, Average Hair

Base amount for medium hair: 80ml
Average-thickness adjustment: 20ml
Estimated total: 100ml

You should have one 100ml tube available.

Example 2: Long, Thick Hair

Base amount for long hair: 120ml
Thick-hair adjustment: 40 to 60ml
Estimated total: 160 to 180ml

You should have two 100ml tubes available.

Example 3: Very Long, Thick Hair

Base amount for very long hair: 160ml
Thick-hair adjustment: 40 to 60ml
Extra allowance: 10 to 20ml
Estimated total: 210 to 240ml

You should have three 100ml tubes available to avoid running out.

Example 4: Root Touch-Up on Average Hair

Estimated root quantity: 30 to 50ml

One 100ml tube should provide enough colour cream, but only prepare the quantity required according to the product instructions.

Does Developer Count Towards the Quantity?

The estimates in this guide refer to the Bremod colour cream before developer is added.

Developer increases the total amount of mixture available, but it must not be used simply to stretch the colour further. Using an incorrect ratio can affect consistency, application and the final result.

Check the instructions printed on your product and developer before mixing. Different colour types or shades may require different directions.

If you are unsure which strength is suitable, read our guide to choosing the correct developer volume for Bremod hair colour.

What Happens If You Use Too Little Hair Colour?

Using too little product can lead to:

Missed sections
Uneven saturation
Patchy-looking coverage
Inconsistent colour from roots to ends
Difficulty covering dense or resistant hair
Rushed application

The mixture should be distributed evenly through every section being coloured.

Trying to spread a small amount across too much hair may reduce coverage, particularly on thick or long hair.

What Happens If You Prepare Too Much?

Preparing more product than needed can waste colour and developer.

To reduce waste:

Estimate the required amount before opening the product.
Divide the hair into sections.
Measure colour and developer according to the supplied instructions.
Mix only the amount you expect to use.
Keep unmixed product securely closed if the packaging permits storage.

Do not store mixed hair colour for a future application. Follow the disposal instructions printed on the packaging.

Can You Use Half a Tube and Save the Rest?

An unused portion may be retained only if it has not been mixed with developer and the original packaging can be closed securely.

Before storing it:

Check the product instructions.
Close the tube firmly.
Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
Note when it was opened.
Check its appearance and condition before future use.

Do not use a product that has changed significantly in colour, texture or smell, or has passed its expiry or recommended usage period.

Should You Buy an Extra Tube?

Consider buying an extra tube if:

Your hair falls between two quantity estimates.
Your hair is particularly thick.
Your hair is longer than shoulder length.
This is your first full-head application.
You have previously run out of hair colour.
You are mixing two shades and need enough of both.
The product may not be immediately available if you need more.

If buying multiple tubes for one application, check that they are the same shade and product type.

You can browse the available Bremod hair colour range in Pakistan before choosing your quantity.

Quantity Is Not the Same as Shade Selection

Buying enough product does not ensure that the chosen shade will produce the expected result.

The final colour can be influenced by:

Starting hair colour
Existing artificial colour
Grey percentage
Hair condition
Developer choice
Previous bleaching or chemical treatment
Selected shade level and tone

Use the Bremod hair colour shade chart to understand shade numbers before choosing a colour.

A strand test can help show how the selected formula behaves on a small section before it is applied throughout the hair.

Safety Checks Before Applying Hair Colour

Before using any permanent or oxidative hair colour:

Read the complete instructions supplied with the product.
Follow the required allergy alert test procedure and timing.
Wear suitable gloves.
Do not use the product on irritated or damaged skin.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Do not use hair colour on eyebrows or eyelashes.
Work in a ventilated area.
Keep the product away from children.
Do not exceed the stated processing time.
Seek professional help if your hair has a complicated colour history.

Stop using the product and rinse as directed if you experience an unexpected reaction during application. Follow the safety guidance printed on the packaging and seek appropriate medical advice where necessary.

9. Suggested FAQs

Is one tube of Bremod hair colour enough for medium hair?

One 100ml tube may be enough for medium hair with fine or average density. Medium, thick hair may require one and a half to two tubes.

How many tubes of Bremod hair colour are needed for long hair?

Most people with long hair should have two 100ml tubes available. Very long or particularly thick hair may require three tubes.

How much Bremod hair colour is needed for a root touch-up?

A root touch-up may require approximately 25 to 60ml of colour cream, depending on the amount of regrowth and hair thickness.

Can I save unused Bremod hair colour?

You may be able to save unused colour cream if it has not been mixed and the tube can be sealed properly. Follow the storage instructions on the product. Do not store mixed colour and developer.

Does developer increase the amount of colour mixture?

Yes, adding developer increases the total mixture. However, you must use the ratio stated in the product instructions rather than adding extra developer to make the colour cover more hair.

Should I buy an extra tube if I am unsure?

Yes. Having an extra unopened tube is safer than running out during application, especially for long, thick or highly porous hair.
