Showerthought: I was mixing my developer wrong for a whole year
Was doing a color correction in my home studio last month, trying to lift a level 4 to a 7. The formula just wasn't taking. My mentor, Lisa, stopped by and saw me just dumping the developer in. She said 'You're not stirring for a full 30 seconds, are you?' I wasn't. Started timing it, and the next application was perfect. Anyone else have a simple step they were totally missing?

That's a classic one. Honestly, the timer on my phone is my most used tool now. It's easy to guess and be way off. I even time the rinse water temp now, not just the processing steps. Makes a huge difference in consistency.

You mentioning the rinse water temp is key. It shows how we often miss the small, boring steps that actually matter most. Why do we always want to skip to the fun part?
