Darkening Bleached Hair

[KingDigby]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently wrecking my brains thinking of a colour to use to darken my sisters hair.

I'm not salon based and haven't been for a few years so trying to find the easiest approach. She has been having back to back bleach highlights for years so is around a level 9 /10. She likes the idea of having full head foils and then a global colour in between around a level 6 or 7. Her hair is extremely porus but I wondered if I could get away with applying 7/73 in colour touch as her global or will this look really warm? I know I should prepig but if I could get away with not doing it that would be ideal.

I currently use wella however have seen online that Loreal Richesse can darken 4 levels without perpig?

If you're not doing a pre pig then 7/73 will be fine.

Hi there,
Using 7/73 in Color Touch by Wella on porous, highlighted hair might result in a warm tone, as you've mentioned. While pre-pigmentation is recommended for porous hair, I understand your preference to avoid it if possible.

Regarding L'Oreal Richesse, the information you found online suggests it can darken up to 4 levels without pre-pigmentation. However, personal experiences can vary, and it's essential to consider factors such as the starting level of the hair and the overall condition.

If you're more accustomed to Wella products, you might want to do a strand test with both the Wella and L'Oreal Richesse to see which one achieves the desired level and tone. This will give you a clearer picture of how each product interacts with your sister's specific hair type.
