Just realized I was mixing my developer wrong for years after reading a label closely

I found out the 20 volume developer I use for color actually needs a 1:2 ratio with the color, not 1:1, from a tiny footnote on the back of the bottle. Has anyone else had a basic product instruction change their whole result?

Guess that explains the neon green hair.

Honestly, it's wild how much we just assume we know how to use stuff. I did the same thing with a wood stain for my deck, followed the old can's ratio for years. The new formula needed way less thinner, and I only caught it because the color looked totally off. Makes you wonder what else we're all doing wrong without realizing, right?
