Had a client in today who had used XXL live platinum to lighten her hair then used XXL purple ontop. This was when she came into the salon... in all my years I’ve never seen hair this damaged. Thought it would be good for those who want to show clients the damage you can do when home colouring.

Hi everyone got a client in a few weeks who has sent me this photo. She already has a blonde level 10 balayage through her natural level 6 hair. I was thinking to maybe use 55/65 all over to achieve this colour? Or would you use a direct dye?
