    Highlifts confuse me

    So my colour house I use has a 12.1, 12.12 (ash-violet, 12.8 (pearl) and 12.0. I only use 12.1 as when I trained that's all I used! Now I'm a natural base 6-7 and I wanna try highlift on mine. Which would give me the cleanest, natural blonde?

    Balayage with a tint in between?

    Yes very similar! Basically when I paint on my V balayage pieces with lightener, I need to find an effective way of applying tint on everything left out, including the hair in the V section

    Upgrading a full-head tint

    I'm casually mentioninig it, to see if it's worth me investing. Regarding colour application though, anything 'special' I could do some it's not just a 'typical' full head colour? was thinking of melting a second brighter colour on the ends for those who want it

    Upgrading a full-head tint

    I've been thinking of ways I can upgrade and add more interest for clients booked in for a full-head of tint. I allow myself 30 minutes for application and mixing so it couldn't be anything too time consuming. What do you all do? Preferably I don't want to have to charge extra, I just want to...

    Full-head tint to full-head highlights

    That's why I did and it turned out great and looked so much blonder and brighter! It's going to grow out lovely I think

    Full-head tint to full-head highlights

    do you think if I painted in between a 7.00 or 8.00+7.00 equal parts on the regrowth that'd be ok? I want her roots to grow in better. She's a natural level 7. I can only use a semi on the ends, as I need to both lift and cover her grey hair (which is resistant)

    Full-head tint to full-head highlights

    So on my lady I usually do an 8.00 on her level 7 roots all over. She's only got grey at the front on her head but its very resistant. I'm doing a full head highlights today to get her lighter, and I'm not sure what to use as her tint/in between colour now. If I keep her base colour a level 8...

    NXT colour remover - advice?

    I've read the instructions, and it mentions to apply step number 3 for one minute, rinse, and then apply again. Do I leave it on another minute? Also do I shampoo at all during the process?

    Black box dyes and colour removers

    Can I ask why a colour remover under heat for 30 minutes, wouldn't even budge black box dye? Even bleach with 30 vol did barely anything! If there something else going on, such as silicone build up or something? Usually removers work well when I use them

    Favourite direct dye(s)?

    I've use crazy colour, Fudge paintbox and quif blast and the only one I'd tend to wanna use again is Quif. I'm after a range that have a good array of shades, last as long as possible for a direct dye, and fade nicely. What do you all use and why? And I don't use olaplex

    Permament vs quasi/demi vs semi/direct dyes longevity

    So for hair that wasn't very porous you'd opt for a demi/quasi? And for very porous you'd use a direct dye/semi?

    Permament vs quasi/demi vs semi/direct dyes longevity

    With all these permanent and demi/qausi fashion colours out such as Matrix Watercolours and Igora Pearlescense, I'm wondering if they would last longer than their semi/direct dye equivalents on bleached hair?

    L'Oreal freehand bleach?

    I use fudge and always use fudge developer as I believe the same as you. However I don't do much balayage and didn't think it was worth buying a separate developer. Will the consistency be ok? I mixed some up yesterday in my room to look and it seemed ok (didn't use on hair, just wanted to see...

    L'Oreal freehand bleach?

    I've just got some loreal freehand to try out for Monday. However some people are saying it won't work the same if I use a non loreal developer :( I've not got time go get developer before Monday as I'm so busy. I always use Fudge dedicated developer even with my bleach, do you reckon it will...

    Full head of highlights tutorials-hair left out all blonde?

    So a few tutorials I've watched, the hair which is left out of the foil is all blonde? I don't get why it would be, as you're weaving that out and not lightening it. Am I making sense, like the left out parts should be brown/natural if you've followed the guide from last time I'm always...
