    Working from home with the kids in the house?

    I feel you you. I know how hard and stressful it is trying to build yourself up AND do what's best for the family. I can only tell you what I do. I work from home. When my daughter isn't in nursery, I book people in evening slots. As late as 7pm and quite often don't finish till 10pm. In the...

    Which purple-what to do?

    I did it. I used Crazy colour lavender. I did pre lighten the hair before hand which I'm pleased i did because it still didn't pick up the lavender in parts despite how light she was to start with.

    Which purple-what to do?

    Your so right Jendan. I have a clear plan in mind now! I'm going to start with a clean palate by doing a very gentle bleach wash before hand, do my root stretch then I'm going to use crazy colour lavender but with the odd lavander mixed with conditioner scattered in a slice throughout. Ahh, I...

    That's good to know about that fading green, I had no idea! I was in salons direct today so I asked them what there best sellers where for these types of colours and they pointed me in the direction of crazy colour which I didn't buy because I felt it was a bit unprofessional. I want something...

    Which purple-what to do?

    Thanks for that! Yes I saw your post after I'd pots mine. Km nit familiar with inoa so I'll look into that! The only reason I wanted to do the root stretch first is because I worry about the join on the colours. I'd die if there was some blonde I'd missed on the join! I know it's more time...

    IBD jgp disappointment!

    Hi geeks, I'm feeling rather let down and disappointed with jgp. I trained with gelux but moved onto ibd as I love the colour range and heard good things about it. Anyway I bought a lot of colours! I'm very rarely seeing it last 2 weeks without chipping. More like 1 week. And this is with most...
