Hi, I really wanted some colour advice for a service I am about to go ahead with for my cousin.
She has been dying her hair with a shop colour, 3.0, for a long time now, her was practically black. Then she decided she'd rather have a chocolate colour, with a burgundy red section underneath.
She has masses of thick hair, so I used elimin8 to remove the colour. It worked quite well. Then I applied richesse 4.15 on the top section and richesse 4.26 on the underneath.
The chocolate looked good, but the 4.26 looked just like the dark chocolate colour on top - hardly any red showing.
So I redid her hair on the underneath, using majicontrast magenta red (I used it on her scalp too, I have NEVER been advised not to do this, so I nearly had a heart attack when I read that it shouldn't be used as global colour). Result - red glow on roots, very very slight hint/glow of red on mid/ends. Very disappointing and frustrating.
The elimin8 was used 3 weeks ago, the majicontrast 1 week ago. And now I'm due to fix it tomorrow. I'm thinking of doing a bleach bath, then colouring over with a red.
Does anyone think this would be a bad idea?! and any suggestions as to what colour to go for after the bleach bath? I normally used majirel and ION colours.
Many thanks for reading and thanks in advance for the advice! Sorry for the long post
