Hello,
My friend went mobile about 6 years ago after having her son and has been doing my hair for about 4 years.
Recently, well in last year, when I've been getting my roots done, they've not been coming out right.
I am naturally a warm medium-dark brunette and when I used to go to a salon I had Wella 12/11 with 12%. (12/1 didn't lift my hair enough) which I have carried on having done since going to my friend. I get my roots done once a month.
The issue I am having is that my retouched roots were looking more like having a grey-ish blue tinge! which I admit did lighten up after a few washes, I didn't want to hurt my friends feelings and I get the impression she has started to lack confidence since leaving her old salon.
I finally broached it and she said that she would start washing it out a few mins earlier to give it less time to "grab".. Which I admit has stopped the blue tinge, but instead my roots are a coppery shade of blonde!
She is unsure what can be causing these issues as She has done my hair for years.
Any suggestions I can pass on gratefully received or any ideas on how to counteract the copper or blue hues? I have used purple shampoo on the copper roots (to no avail!) and tomato ketchup on the blue roots (to some effect) but you have to admit its not ideal! LOL!
