    Finally got the hair I wanted!

    Hey, everybody, I have been asking last year around here for advice on how to get a lower maintenance blonde that is also lighter and cooler than my previously hi lift hair. After growing my roots out for a whole year (!), I went to a suuper pro and got an amazing result - She did a full...

    How often highlights touch-up?

    Hi everyone, quick question - I am currently growing my roots out to go from hi lift blonde to foil highlights.it's been over 3 months and I plan on growing them at least 1-2 more. I realised I don't really like having a lot of dark root. So how often do you normally do a root touch up on full...

    Going from full blonde to highlights?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me on the following: If I am currently an all over, solid hi lift blonde, could I go back to having highlights only (had them years back) next time I will be doing the root touch up? Meaning to do the touch up as highlights only and maybe wait...

    Shampoo for colored hair, not too volumizing?

    Hi all, my hair is hi lift blonde plus toned and I am searching for a good shampoo, suitable for color protection, BUT not leaving the hair too volumised/puffy. I always seem to have this issue, that my hair gets super soft and puffy after washing, esp. with certain shampoos. Or maybe I am doing...

    What shade of blonde is this?

    Ok, I keep searching for the perfect shade of blonde. I have found a new, very experienced hairdresser, who works with Wella. She did my roots with koleston and the ends with colourtouch, she did some combos that I am unsure of (though she used something purple based for the toner, i think the...

    Hi guys, I am posting again since I have booked a consultation with another stylist in town, with great work and refferels. I ve been a hi lift blonde for 4 years, yet she clearly sugested that the only way to get rid of the dull warm tones would be bleaching, prob. with a low/20 vol developer...

    New hairstylist or giving the old one another chance?

    Ok, so I am calling again my beloved pro's who have always helped and might know better whether it's time for a new stylist or not in my case: as I wrote a while back, I have been a highlift blonde for 4 years, and have recently been to a new stylist, who has about 4 years of practice, who got...

    Redken or Alfaparf for blonde?

    Hey guys, I know this is very subjective, but which of the two brands would you say has a wider range of choice for blonde hair, in terms of hi lift, toners, gloss etc.? My current hairdresser uses Alfaparf and I cant seem to find a toner shade I like. We have a Redken specialist in town as...

    Highlift blonde going back to highlights, is it possible?

    Hi all, I have asked a few years back about this and didnt get a definite answer, so since I am flirting with this idea again, I'll just ask away: From your experience, is it possible and maybe not very damaging to go from an overall high lift blonde to just highlights? I have been a hi lift...

    Best toner for cool, yet not too ashy hair?

    Hi all, so I recently posted about my hair toner done at the salon gone too dark/ashy/grey, kind of dull. I know it will wash off, but I'd rather be happy with my color now than say 3 weeks later. She used Alfaparf colorwear 9.21,very light violet ash blonde, left on for about 30 min. (Was that...

    How often root touch up with high lift and is it damaging?

    Hi all, I posted recently about my orange hair disaster, that was luckily fixed by my new hairdresser, without bleach (I have never bleached it), by using a high lift blonde on the roots and an overall ashy/purple toner on top (posting a different thread on the toner too Lol). My hairdresser...

    How to fix this orange disaster?

    Hey everyone, I am in big need for help. I will attach of a pic of my current hair color, which is an orange/yellowy mess (actually looks worse in person and worse every time I wash my hair). It was achieved in a salon using no ammonia Kemon, organic dye. I have since decided to switch stylists...

    From full head blonde back to highlights

    Hello, everybody, I have been reading so many useful posts in here (thank you all!) and finally decided to ask a question. I am not a hair-pro, just a hairstyling/haircoloring fanatic :D. My natural haircolor is a medium brown (I would say a 6 or even 7), have been dyeing it blonde (full head)...
