Hi guys, I'm using Olaplex on a couple of clients next week, one lady has the wella meches highlighting system - how much Olaplex should I use with this? I use half a tube of the cream with one of the sachets. The other lady has L'Oreal Platinium - how much Olaplex should I use with this? As...

Hi guys, just wondering, is it ok to use Wella's permanent colours with Pastel developer if you want to darken but require no white coverage? So for example if I want to lowlight a blonde with 7/31 illumina... Can I mix it with pastel instead of 20 vol since I don't want any lift or white...

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to Schwarzkopf and loving it. Just a question about the semi permanent colour mousses - how do they work.... Do they go on wet or dry hair? How long do they last? Are they a bit like Wella Color Fresh, where you can use them to top up a tint on sensitised hair? Many thanks x

Hey guys! I've had quite a few full heads of foils in recently and I keep noticing that my foils on top and at the sides are fine, but at the back, especially near the nape, there are some nasty bleeds! And when they haven't bled, they aren't close enough! My last head of foils was with high...

Hey guys, I have a couple of clients with amazing curly hair - I think it's such beautiful hair but I seem to struggle getting the foils close to the roots for them! It seems to be much more of an issue with curly clients than straight haired clients! I also find it really hard getting the short...

Hey everyone, I've just changed over to Schwarzkopf Igora colours and I love them - I think they're such a high quality range. I have a question about the Absolutes range - can they be intermixed with any other Igora colours? I'm aware that you generally use them with 30 vol, and since this is...

Hi guys! My male client is naturally very fair in colouring, he's the level of an 8 with gold tones (he perceives this is a 'gingery' colour). He has fine hair, about 4 inches in length on top. He wanted to be darker with no warmth so I coloured him with Color Touch 6/0 and 1.9%. It's been just...

I have a blonde client (base 10 highlights back to back) who wants to convert to a level 6/7 ombré with blonde ends. I want to pre pig to reduce fading and get the best possible colour result. My plan is to apply 6.34 dia light mixed with hot water instead of dia actuvateur, dry it into the hair...

I've seen wella have a 10/05 in illumina... Has anyone used it? What does it look like? I can't imagine mahogany on a level 10 lol! X

Hey geeks, I've got quite a technical question here, wondering if anyone might be able to answer this as I've been curious for a while. I've noticed that Majirel lifts 2 shades with 20 vol, whereas Koleston only lifts 1 shade with 20 vol - if majirel has more lifting power could this be because...

I never normally moan, but is there a reason why so many posts are titled "colour help ladies" "advice needed ladies" "what do you ladies think of this" etc? ... There are just as many men on here with good advice too you know lol x

Hi guys, another post about prelightener.... Has anyone used this and is it as good as it sounds? How does it compare to blondor? X

I'm currently an Infinie Platine user but considering making the switch to Platinium as I know it's a real premium product and considered the best by a lot of people. Just a few questions - it's a very expensive produce, does it go quite a long way in terms of how much you have to use? Also...

Hi guys, I know this probably seems like a strange request but could you tell me what colour in L'Orèal this looks like to you? I've been colouring her hair for a long time, and it's taken me a while to get this shade which she absolutely loves... But I would never have guessed what it was if I...

Hi guys just thought maybe we could share some pre pig techniques. I've always been taught to pre pig by applying a semi on pre shampooed towel dried hair, then shampoo it out, blast hair dry and proceed to apply target shade. How do you guys like to do it?

I've never used this before and a client has chosen it off the shade chart - she's currently a coppery blonde colour with level 5 roots. Just wanted some opinions really - how does it come out? She wants to be able to see the copper in it and I'm torn between this and a mix of 6.34 & 5.3

I have a client who is 100% white and wants this sort of colour! (Picture attached) I'm a bit stumped - if she was dark I'd do bleach highlights and level 7/8 low lights 😂 but it's completely white - bleach isn't going to do anything to it! I've been told that anything above a level 8...

I love Kylie Minogue's blonde - it looks really natural and sun-kissed! I have a few clients that would love this look. How would you achieve this look from say a full head of bleach for example? I use L'Oreal I've attached a picture but it's not the best I'm afraid - when you watch her on tv...

Does anyone know the main differences between blondor powder and the white granules? Do they actually give different results, and do they feel different to work with? X

I haven't done an ombré for a while and I'm not very experienced in them - I'm pretty confident it will be fine but I just want a bit of reassurance lol! My cousin is a base 5 naturally and has level 10 ends from years of foiling. She wants to go for a soft ombré look. The application...
