The colour book, and me, are correct. I promise.
Think about it. Blue is present in black hair, if you bleached it, would that blue be present? No.
If you bleached base 5, would it be red? No, it would be yellow. You would counter the yellow with a violet ash. Green ash over yellow would be nappy khaki.
As long as you create the right amount of lift, you counter the undertone at the level that you reach, not the level you started with.
Eg, if you lifted base 3 to base 5, you would need to counter red as a base 5 would show red undertone.
Base 9 could never hold red. At worst it would throw out a strong gold.
So are you saying all hair that is coloured to a 6 you have to neutralise the orange ,if they wanted a natural shade, no matter what their base was. so all 6's would have a 6/1 ash
all clients that have a 9 you would be using violet on to neutralise the yellow from the 9. so all have a 9/16 violet tone???
I know when bleaching you use the corresponding tone afterwards depending on the warmth left, but i didn't think that applied to tint.
Everyone says so hard to lift a 5 to a 9 cos of all the red ??? ( which is the natural shade before colouring)
