    Colour correction!

    Hi all! Sorry for the long post! I have a colour correction due in in a couple of weeks. She wants her hair to be a lighter brown (level 7 ish, she doesn’t seem too bothered she just wants it lighter!) She has long level 4/5 box dyed hair (she uses castings) and it has a lot of colour build up...

    What am I doing wrong-Wella grey coverage?

    Ideally you aren't supposed to mix the double base shades (77/0) with any other colours apart from the ones in the same line eg 66/0 or special mix - as any other colour will dilute the coverage.. I know people tend to break rules but you could try the 77/0 with a special mix to add the warmth...

    Olaplex: something went wrong somehow?

    After seeing this thread the next day we had a new batch in from Aston and fincher and I noticed ours looked a bit darker too! I mentioned it to my boss and he said no he got it direct so maybe olaplex themselves have changed it slightly!

    Lilac grey permanent colour Wella

    8/81 colour touch with /68 mix tone works well as a lilac grey when I have used it in the past. Lasts longer than 1 wash but again won't be permanent and fades quite quickly still.

    Wella lilac grey colour

    For lilac grey, in our salon we tend to use 20g 8/81 with about 3g /68 mixed in! I used this on my hair and looked a lovely lilac grey 1.9%

    Illamasqua make up course!

    Wella copper and numbering

    Wella coppers are /34. 3 being gold and 4 being red mixed together is copper! 66/45 is a vibrant red (if you were to apply to pre lightened hair it would be bright bright red)

    Grey/purple toner

    Obviously has to be applied on pre lightened hair with no warm undertones as such

    Grey/purple toner

    I've seen a formula for colour touch 8/81 & 7/89 with /68 mix tone I think the ratios were something like 15ml 8/81 10ml 7/89 and 1ml of /68 but I can't fully remember! But this formula was more on the silvery side so could use /88 instead of /68? To make it slightly more bluey ?

    Fast track NVQ 2 hairdressing

    I have just qualified at the London alan d , very small classes and they may be willing to fast track if you pass your assessments quickly I'd say! It was only me and one other girl in my class so very one to one. Most of the other classes have about 5 people in :)
