Should You Use 20 Vol Developer? A stronger 20 volume developer will not only open up the cuticle of your hair to allow the toner take action, but will also lighten your hair on its own. This makes it an excellent choice whether you want to lighten your hair to a very light blonde hue or if it is a more apparent orange tint.
