    Malibu C CPR UK Alternative

    Hi, I'm looking for an easier to source alternative to Malibu C CPR? I like it because it gets a lot of too dark colour out without a heavy chemical smell and it doesn't re-oxidise. All of my usual revenues for buying it have gone sky high in price because it seems to be some sort of trend at...

    The best conditioner for blonde over processed bleached hair?

    Wow, I actually got censored and deleted. Don’t worry guys, I won’t offer my ‘unprofessional opinion’ around here anymore. ;) (Btw, I am a licensed Professional, level 4 recognised Master Colourist for Pravana... Featured artist by Schwarzkopf and Joico) :D I am a freelancer and proudly have...

    Direct dye

    Aha, I understand :) The clearer you are with what you’d like to achieve and how you intend to execute the process, the easier it is for others to understand your process and help you along! Always include the whole story. ;) I agree that it may be a harsh journey... But you can do it...

    This is the Pravana Vivids manual, to give you some idea of levels! ;)

    Direct dye

    Hi, First off, please don’t think I’m trying to patronise! :cool: I’m a little concerned by your methodology... Direct dye must almost always be applied to a level 9/10 with the exception of red can be a level 6. ( true red is a level 7) I’m more concerned that House Beauty applies blue to a...

    The best conditioner for blonde over processed bleached hair?

    Product wise; If she’s willing to pay a little more get some Schwarzkopf keratin bonds deep conditioner, that stuff is very good. Another mid priced deep conditioner is Diksons Keratin deep Treatment. It’s one of my faves!

    The best conditioner for blonde over processed bleached hair?

    Hi Marte, if I were you I’d get some inches off that hair!! Take a good 2inches off at least then put her on a strict moisture/protein conditioning regime. This consists of; Every day- leave in conditioner to ends. No heat styling! Every 3-4 days, wash the hair. Only shampoo the roots using a...

    Does anyone use 18% 60 vol developer on hi-lift tints?

    Holy Moly! This developer should be on some sort of YouTube channel demonstrating how to make your client bald in two easy steps... :eek: Honestly, you’ll have more than enough lift with a 30vol. I NEVER use above 40vol but even then, 30 is 99.98% enough lift, my 40vol is basically sitting...

    Black color-stripping advice please

    Your welcome :) I’m sorry I couldn’t yield much into fixing it! Wow, you are literally the nicest client ever... Well done for owning it!! :cool: But if you didn’t want the black, I still stand by what I said. A good stylist would’ve listened to you... In that case, getting back to your natural...

    Black color-stripping advice please

    Hi there! :) First of all, I’d like to express my concern with your colourist. Any colourist that colours hair to a level 1 black without a warning on the removal of that shade is not a good colourist. She should really have known better from looking at you that it wouldn’t suit you and spoke...

    Full head bleach advice

    Sounds like she’s being cheap tbh with that, hate it when clients try to ‘save money’ with DIY. But at least she knows she can’t lift herself so that’s something. :rolleyes:

    Full head bleach advice

    Oh, gosh! I’m sorry, I misunderstood o_O She wants to colour herself... Lol, that’s a bad call but fair enough. In that case, ignore my direct dye talk!!

    Full head bleach advice

    I know this is time consuming, but just charge accordingly... :) I agree with AcidPerm that time is money, but with alternative hair colours, you can go so darned wrong without the right base. My advice is to not try to do it in one session... I often do my process in two halves, so my clients...

    Just to clear something up, when I say full head, I mean back to back ;)

    Full head bleach advice

    Hi, I am a blonding/alt hair colour specialist hehe... to do Pink and Green, I’d advise doing a full head of foils but stopping where it overlaps to the already lightened ends. Without foil you aren’t going to get the lift you need to get a clean enough blonde to do the green. Always do the...

    Please help me get rid of this blue

    Oh don’t worry! Renbow works well too! :) I only recommended Joico because I use their products! But any DDL will do it. ;) You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help! I must admit I was a bit concerned about the oxidising toner (hence why I recommended Pravana aswell) but I think you’ve combatted...

    Blondme help!

    You ga Completely agree! It only works to it’s full capacity with the blondme developer. It’s so important to check manufacturers instructions! ;) A lot of people think that it doesn’t matter but it really makes all the difference with this bleach!

    Lifting hair colour without bleach, as client doesn't want it on her hair

    Anything like this would be great, there are lots of choices for ‘no bleach’ lighteners! :) But always choose a brand that you’re familiar with as you will most likely have the correct developer/ knowledge for the product. Best to do a bit of homework ;)

    Lifting hair colour without bleach, as client doesn't want it on her hair

    Yes, I think that can work on levels 5-8, but not with lifting that dark. I mean some brands will so I can’t argue with others direction on this... But personally with dark hair, I always prelighten, just to get that true to shade look! :)

    Big colour change

    Hey :) I think what would be really great is a head of fine highlights. Doing even finer babylights on the hairline and top of head... And then tone the new colour pretty cool to match the white/grey regrowth. If you lift it quite light in foils, you should have no problem depositing a cool...
