Colour suggestions

[paulette]

Hi All
Anyone have any suggestions on what colour I could have as low lights/highlights.
I used to have foiled bleach highlights, but decided to go dark in November, Ive been using Wella colour touch 6/73.
Anyway am getting a bit bored now and wanting some extra colours in it. Bearing in mind there is bleach underneath, what colours could I use? to get more definition?

dya wanna go any darker? there are some nice darkish colours within one of the tutorials...from memory the bournville is lovely...

Bournville: 15ml 4/0 + 30ml 5/75 + 2cm 0/66
Bitter Choc: 30ml 6/0 + 2cm 3/66
Deep Choc Brown: 44/0 + 5/75 + 5/37
Mulberry: 20ml 5/75 + 3cm 0/65


These are some ncie ones (from a tutorial i saved on my comp )

Seen those, Im not sure I think what I have it dark enough, I was thinking more of a few lighter foiled pieces, I know a salon visit will be on the cards for sure, just wondered what my options were as I have the bleach underneath, prob about 1.5" regrowth thats not got any bleach on, but as I said I have colour touched it all over.
Would a high lift fine weaved do anything over the semi, and be ok over the hidden bleach??

i wouldnt trust a high lift over a colour, be it permanent or quasi. spose you could do a test piece on it... depending on how light u wanna go u could put a bleach and pastel fine weaves on it...iv got a client whos been getting half 5/73 and half 6/73 koleston on her hair for about 6 months, over bleach, i did test pieces of bleach and pastel and it came up to about a 8/7 shade...was nice though. spose i depends what you are looking for from it!!! xx

Sounds perfect, pastel developer Ive not used personally, what is it % wise? I could suggest to the new hairdresser/colourist that Im going to, something along those lines then. I dont want really light blonde again but just lighter will do just to give it some interest! My concern was over the covered bleach. I may do a test piece myself to see what happens first. Hate being grey on top so been using colourtouch to try and blend a bit, it works for about 3 weeks then the patch drives me nuts I hate seeing it, hoping having a bit lighter may take the edge off the grey!!

yeh just do a test peice yourself. i never used it until my lecturer at college said it was great with bleach so i tried it a voila! i am in love. % wise...it dont have it on the bottle but its defo weaker then the color touch developer which is 1.9% xx
