    Is ombré going out of fashion?

    Hi, she did, she had magma on the ends. I used matrix as I wanted to experiment. I pre-lightened with bleach and 6% for 20 mins, then used 6G on the mid-lengths and 10G on the ends.

    Help to achieve this colour?

    I would bleach her roots to match her mids and ends. Bleach and 3% should be sufficent. Then apply Colour Touch 66/45 with 0/45 mixer tone added. Id use 4% with the CT. Retial her maybe a crazy colour or something of a true semmi. :)

    Hair up hints and tips!

    Hey! I would cut the weft into small pieces and glue them individually as your not going to get a straight braid row with your weft as its too long. The glue is easy to remove and when the weft is cut to the desired length you can then make your quiff. Afterwards you can remove the wefts and...

    Shampoo and conditioner for freelance stylist

    When I was freelance, I would look in my book and if I had an afro-Caribbean client and then later a fine hair typed lady, I would just take them 2 products with me. It saves lugging it all about as you say, so if your client says '' I want highlights, and I need a good cut as my ends are bad...

    My post was not intended to be 'bitchy', I just felt it was wrong how you felt that you could 'attack' people without any due cause for concern. My main aim out of this was to help, but as it did come across as bitchy I apologize if I made you feel that way. I am moving forward now and wont...

    Best lightener for dark resistant hair

    I prefer the mirror polish, as I find the shine define is a bit greasy :/ just my opinion though :) If your colour brand has a clear tonal value then that would be to either intensify shine and/or dilute colour so you should be right :)

    Best lightener for dark resistant hair

    Havent had the chance to use it yet as been really busy with other things, but I have got all my information at hand and im ready to take the plunge! Illumnia is violet based, where as koleston is green based. So my thinking is that its specially more for warmer tones, but I could be wrong. I...

    Best lightener for dark resistant hair

    Im not a matrix user :( But could you go old school if you had to and do a 2 step? bleach first, then tone? I would use blondor, and then tone with either 10/38 for a nice soft honey, or 10/1 or 10/8 depending on the level of ash and how orange/yellow it is :)

    'Attacking' being the operative word. I'm sorry, but who gave you permission to go around attacking peoples post's? If you had all the facts, then you would be number one for knowledge, but as you back up your statements with Wikipedia I see no reason for you to go around 'Attacking' posts...

    Vitamin C is an ascorbic acid based vitamin, so my theory maybe that as this is acid, the color was lifted by the acid? And to back up my theory, I have included this. Ingredients of Vitamin C Tablets & Their Reaction to Acids | eHow.com I could be wrong.
