Counteracting brassy brown Wella

[fireballoraiste]

Hi geeks, now I have officially stopped doing colour but doing a friends colour tomorrow morning I haven't seen her in a while and she got it done in salon last few times. They used Inoa.
I'm used to wella koleston but can get Inoa.
Nat base 6
50% grey
Coarse

Photo taken now

It actually looks more red in pic than it is. The brassy ends match up to an 8/7 in my kp shade chart. It's more like a 7/7 underneath.

She would like it toned down but I'm thinking a 7 base will be too light.
6/0 too dark.
Hmmm thinking darkening the lot and few highlights maybe?
Don't know:/
Anyone any ideas please
Thanks a mil
Xxx

I would suggest a 6 on the roots and 7 on the rest. As for tone, if it's more orange you need a blue ash tone mixed into the 7. If its more red then you need a green ash tone. I would use a very low strength bleach on the highlights and tone them afterwards xxx

Thanks for reply.
You see I can't quite see if its orange or yellow and I'm a bit afraid to add blue in case its more yellow gold it would go green. I thought green was for red and violet for orange?

Hi Lydia, if it looks like its orangey yellow and you're not sure, what do you do?

 

[fireballoraiste]

Dolled up its more yellow than photo.
