Instead of using a 30 volume developer you will need to just purchase a 10 volume. The 30 volume developer will lift your hair color 3 times and the 10 will lift it only 1.
I do not think there is a way to alter a 30 volume developer.

To dilute 30 volume creme developer to 10 volume, you would mix 1 part of the 30 volume developer with 2 parts of plain conditioner or distilled water. For example, if you have 1 ounce of 30 volume developer, you would mix it with 2 ounces of conditioner/water to achieve a 10 volume solution.
You can add distilled water to less than 1ounce of color, haven't had to do it in years but I'm pretty sure it's a tad less than 1/4th of oz and the reason for cutting it with the distilled water, is so the formula isn't to thick to apply to the hair! Remember on tube color the scalp body heat breaks it down so it can penetrate the cuticle of the hair, if it's liquid you may not have to add the water. I assume this is just to refresh the ends? In this case I would recommend a non ammonia free line like clariol if you don't have a license available pretty sure without a license? Don't qoute me on it but your going to want to use 2 shades lighter than the original scalp formula! Since every situation is different I cannot give you exact details or formula without seeing the clients hair first, but yes it can be done in fact it's one of the first things we learn in beauty school when doing color 👍 think of it this way your baking a cake and use your measurements on the cup and do the fractions that you would have to do cutting a 10 person dish to make it for 2 people
Mixing a 20 volume creme developer with a 30 volume creme developer will result in an intermediate volume of developer, likely somewhere between 20 and 30 volumes. The resulting volume will depend on the specific ratios of the two developers that are mixed together. It is important to note that altering the volume of developer can affect the outcome of hair color or chemical treatments, so it is recommended to use the developer volume specified in the product instructions for best results.
Mixing a 30 volume creme developer with a 40 volume creme developer is not recommended as it can alter the desired outcome of your hair color process. The resulting mixture may have an unpredictable volume, potentially causing damage to your hair and scalp. It's best to stick to the developer recommended for your hair coloring product for best results.
Mixing equal parts of 20 V. and 40 V. developers will give you an approximate 30 volume developer.
Mixing 20 volume creme developer with 40 volume creme developer can result in an intermediate strength developer solution, depending on the ratio of each. However, it is not recommended to mix different volume developers as it may alter the desired results and could potentially be harmful to the hair. It's best to use the developer strength recommended for the specific hair coloring product being used.
It is not recommended to double the volume of developer to achieve the desired strength. Using a 10-volume developer when a 20-volume developer is needed can result in uneven hair color or ineffective processing. It is best to use the correct developer volume for the hair color you are using.
