its usually a 1:1 ratio of color and developer. there should be directions on the box of dye (or even  the developer bottle) but 20 vol is way to high to go darker with. go back and exchange the 20 vol wit 10 vol. this is much less damaging to the hair.

learn to love what you were born with
you can do anything if you set your mindto it (just dont try this with hair,that could turn out bad)

yeah exactly you don't need 20 vol, since black dye is all about deposit and no lift..

The only reason to use 20 volume would be if you have gray hair, than you'll need 20 to get full coverage.
