Hello all,
I'm new to the forum (well I signed up a while ago when I started training) but this is my first time posting.
I've had lots of experience bleaching hair (mainly my own lol) but I'm always a little overambitious with what I can achieve using the range we stock in the salon (koleston and colour touch).
I'm planning on lightening my hair this weekend while on lockdown to a level 9 or 10, but would like to achieve a very natural looking medium blond , ideally an ash gold.
In the past I've always experienced either one of the following scenarios:
1) Lift to a level 8/9 with blondor , then tone with a CT ash in the basin. The last time I attempted this the colour grabbed horribly after just a few minutes and I was left with a very gungy grey . I think I used the 8/81.
2) lift to level 10 and time with a neutral in level 10... Which works but leaves me longing for a 'dirtier' shade of blonde :/
What is really love to know is you guys' experience with creating these kinds of colours on a pre-lightened base.
I do love clean platinum whites, but I'm confident I can achieve that. What is love to know is how to get the kind of medium dark blond without pulling too ashy/silver muck colour.
My manager says this is really hard to pull off correctly, but I'm determined to pull it off. He's a great mentor and I love him, but I can't help but feeling he's a bit of a one trick pony with his toning. It's true that in our salon we don't get too many requests for this kind of blonde so I know I lack experience here.
Could you guys suggest any formulas which have worked for you in the past? I'm open to trying other brands than wella as I'm interested to see what else is out there.
I've seen that dialight does a 10.13 milkshake which looks lovely, if not a bit light. Has anyone has any experience with this?
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks so much!
