Hi all, need some advice on how to approach correcting a root tint gone wrong!
Natural base: 6 with 50% grey
Hair has been previously tinted at roots and had t section of bleach foils to break up to a lighter overall colour. This was done with another stylist at another salon.
Problem was the bleach was damaging clients hair. Client didn’t want to be a 6 all over as was “too dark”. So decided to go in with 1/2 8/0 and 1/2 8/1 30 vol. Too much warmth was chucked off with this so changed formula to KP 8/0 and /88 special mix with 30 volume. This controlled the issue with too much orange. Have successfully been doing root applications for a few months now with this formula.
Here comes my issue. Today I have done the steps I would normally do, however, stupidly had a mad moment where I thought instead of 3 grams of /88 for every 60g of tint that it was infact 3 grams for every 30!! :/ I do know that it should have been 1.5g per 30 grams of 8/0. I usually count from the target shade up to 11 and know that’s the correct amount for a whole tube of tint. Bottom line during my mad moment I have added 6 grams instead of 3grams of /88.
The root colour has now obviously sunk quite dramatically. It’s a very dull ashen colour. No where near an 8/0.
I didn’t have time to correct it immediately so will be doing it tomorrow. I used clarifying shampoo which removed it a little obviously not enough.
My question is can I use 10/ illumina to shift this back to or close enough to an 8? Would I use it with 30 or 40 volume? Under heat or not? I have used it to remove colour bands before successfully but never on scalp and only when there is a small difference in depth or tone...I don’t want to use lightener, I think it would be too dramatic??? And would go completely against what I have been doing to avoid bleach.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
