Hello!
Yesterday I went to the hair dresser with the goal to go from natural llight blonde to medium-dark auburn. So I chose Wella color touch 6/47 red brown with 1.9%. I already did a strand test with this color at home so I was confident it would turn out great. My hair is very long (elbow length) and thick, so therefore I decided to go to the hairdresser to get it done.
Unfortunately the color didn't stick and when she washed it out I had still blonde shining through at weird places and the tips of my hair were a very flat instead of deep color. I think this is because she put the color on wet hair instead of dry. The hairdresser told me she could not use the same color because it was so uneven and we had to redo the whole thing with a different one. The second time she used Wella color touch 66/45 red red violet with 4% and heat. This fortunately worked out well and the color is really intense now.
I have a very bright deep dark red now which suits my skin tone and is actually quite beautiful, but I am afraid it is a bit too flamboyant for me.
So my question is if it is possible to still go to a more 'natural' auburn color with color touch and what would be the best color to achieve this? I also don't know how long this color will last as it was such a big change. Thank you!
