I am dying my Nans hair for her tonight, last time I dyed to way too blonde and it made her look grey so I've bought a medium ash blonde to put over it. Will this work as she has the light blonde dye on her hair still from last time? Also I know some of you will say tell her to go to a hairdresser but she is almost 80 and can't afford to she also doesn't have the confidence to do this when I offer to pay for her to. So please can you just advise if this will work as I don't want to make her go ginger or something lol. Thanks in advance girls xx
Box dye over box dye?

Try a good mobile hairdresser. Older clients are their speciality. ;-)
If I were you, I'd be more worried about her having a reaction to the chemicals used in box dyes rather then whether her hair turns ginger.

I really recommend using a mobile hairdresser, but if you really can't, I wouldn't use another ash if it went too white, I would use a natural or a beige tone.
But def look for a mobile hairdresser!! Hth

Really? Iv been freelance for a few yrs now and Iv never had an elderly client,
Thanks I will look for a mobile hairdresser for her next time but she is really looking forward to her hair being done so I'm doing it tonight. It's not really ash Hun it's like a medium blonde but called medium ash. Oh well, fingers crossed.

Well you're missing a trick then. My older clients don't cancel last minute, have plenty of disposable income and are less demanding and better company. ;-)
Think it depends on client, not age, all my clients are lovely and more like friends!
I like having younger clients as they keep me on my toes when they want trendy up to date styles

Not related the the issue at hand.. Older people are the bread and butter of the industry. Your people have family and debt.. Old people have money and want to look good & are regular & good for a laugh..'love my old clients
