Going dark - 01-11-09, 07:41 PM

Have been thinking for a while now of going dark again, im a base 4 and have been blonde for about 2 years now. Started having breakage issues of late and to be honest Im not surprised. A friend of mine is also going dark this week she is about a level 5 and she too is experiencing breakage hence the reason for going darker.
I can do this myself as Im fully qualified, would prob like to use Wella colourtouch as I know it will fade. My question is what colours are best to use? Any ideas I dont want to be too dark like maybe a level 5 or 6 as colour touch do come out darker.
I look forward to some suggestions, Thanks x

do some test strands first , as i was about an 7-8 base with honey hi-lites and i used a loreal 8 .3 semi to tone mine and it came out like a 5 ! seriously! , ive never hd that problem with clients so i think it was my hair type (and a bit of denial about the condition) so yeah , go a bit lighter than the target and dont forget to add warmth
