Tried 044 and really didnt make any difference so will try 7.44 next time , have only recently started colouring this clients hair and think she has such a build up of colour x

If she has a build up of colour on the ends they will looks duller and 'browner' than the roots 'aka' browning out - when permanent colour is pulled though the ends too much. When using a premixed colour line the 7.44 will contain brown at a level 7 plus the copper reflect and the brown base can build up.

In this case you need to remove the build up on the ends with a mild clease and when recolour the ends with a more 'pure' copper refect than the root colour. If you have a pure tone demi this would be perfect or a demi in a shade lighter/ diluted with clear or even better a true semi direct colour.

Or refresh the ends with a mixtone only.
