    Ammonia and ethanolamine

    Hi All, I’ve noticed some formulae “boast” lower ammonia levels, supplemented instead by ethanolamine. Is there really any benefit of reducing ammonia and adding ethanolamine? Would lift be compromised? Condition? Am I missing something by thinking alkalinity is alkalinity, so therefore does it...

    KP/CT to Illumina formula

    Hi All, Hope you are doing OK. How can I replicate the Les Beiges tones (/97) from the KP and CT lines with Illumina? I know Illumina is violet based, so I’m apprehensive about it pulling too cool. Any formula recs much appreciated!

    Schwarzkopf users - product info request!

    Hi All, Can anyone confirm if the Blondme Lifting range is being discontinued? Noticed the line is in Salon Services’ clearance section, and staff didn’t seem to know. Hoping it’s another repackaging/relaunch, as I adore this range! Thanks.

    L’Oréal Dialight advice

    Hi All, Never used this product before but planning to trial 9.13 on my own hair, with an aim of darkening my highlifted blonde (level 9, brassy) to a beige blonde. Anything I should be aware of? I would usually use an 8 for this purpose in other brands but I have heard that this line runs...

    Wella Colour Touch

    Hi all, Been experimenting with wella on my own hair. Looking to do a shadow root on my highlifted hair but would prefer to use it on dry hair. Would the results be wildly different? I’ll be using 1.9 and want to keep things sheer. Thanks :)

    Prepping hair for colour

    For bleaching, going deeper or using semi I clarify and then use a silicone-free conditioner to balance the pH. I clarify only before using highlifts. Do you wash clients’ hair before colour? What steps do you take for best results? ;)

    Hair loss

    Hi all, I’ve had this problem for almost two years now and can’t find out the cause. I experience hair loss daily but the only hair that falls is white, or translucent, at the root. I’m a level 7 and have no greys yet. The hair seems to grow about an inch of this colourlessness before falling...

    L’Oréal Majiblonde 901s

    Hello... Has this actually been discontinued? I found an online shop selling it but don’t want to bother if it’s not going to be available long term. I do remember using and liking the 911s before the switch to the white tubes (which I haven’t tried).

    Matrix Color Sync advice

    Hi All, I have a client, natural level 9, quite warm, has some highlights around the front done elsewhere. She isn’t happy with the lightness and warmth and wants to go darker all over. She is after a “beige blonde” - neither too warm nor not too ashy. She has shown me some photos of what she...

    True demi-permanent colour

    Finding options is proving difficult. I know of colour fresh and Igora mousse but are there any other no-mix colours?

    How do you mix colour?

    Hi all, I’ve noticed that Matrix colour seems lumpy recently, making it a lot of work to mix. Kind of like I have to “stamp” the tint brush down to get rid of the lumps. At first I wondered if the product needed warmed up since I’d been storing it in a cupboard in a colder room, but this has...

    New Wella Koleston ME

    Can anyone share their experiences/comparisons with the old formula?

    Highlift blondes

    Hi All, Anyone had experiences with the Rusk highlifts? The mixing ratio is 1:3, which shocked me! Or Indola, L’Oréal or Goldwell? Just working my way through the brands (on my own hair). I haven’t found anything fantastic yet (tried Wella, Matrix, Schwarzkopf Igora and Schwarzkopf Blondeme)...

    Schwarzkopf Blondme Highlifts

    Has anyone tried the Blondme highlifts? I see they’ve brought out some new shades. Wondering how they compare to the Igora highlifts too.

    Highlift saying use single peroxide?

    Hello All, Longtime lurker and level 2 here :) Schwarzkopf has a Lifting Cream in the Blondme range that doesn’t require you to double up on the developer. Where does the lifting come from? My first thought was surely it would be loaded with ammonia but I’ve checked the package and it appears...
