First: I am not a pro,... and I am only hurting myself with experimentation, and I know very basic colourist language. I am reading this forum for 3 years already, just today created an account because I need some help.
I am natural 4-5 (brown to dark brown, with 1/5 gray). I am expat in very rural Germany, where salons are opening tomorrow, and I got earliest apointment 15. April. Before I always did my hair in my home country, but I can not travel there for another 3 months.
Before I always corrected my roots with some colour share in 10 and Dev 9%, without a problem (I was ok with a bit orange, that I toned down, good thing was that they were still darker than ends).
My ends were(are) around 8-ish (some parts 7 some parts 9) as cold as my hairdresser could get me on my previous yellow lift.
This time I bleached my roots (outgrow 4 cm) yesterday (Blondme 9+, Dev 20 Vol 6%, processing time 75min) and now I am bright yellow. Roots are very pale.
I did my research, I understand why this happened.
Now please help me correct this only until end of April and only for "good enough" for video calls in home office.
I am planning to correct this with Wella Illumina (I am comfortable on myself with colour melt technic, sometimes with dubious results but I am enjoying it).
my current stash:
- Welloxon 6%
- Welloxon 1.9%
- Wella Illumina Color Opal-Essence Copper Peach
- Wella Illumina Color 9/03 lichtblond / natur-gold
I need your recommendation about the formula.
Below is my current situation, and last photo desired outcome (at least around the roots, I want to keep ends a bit brighter).
Thinking about buying - Wella Illumina Color 7/03
First question, If I tone my roots with level 7/3 colour, is it dark enough to cover my current yellow? And can I use 1.9% developer or must I use 6% ?
Would Opal essence do anything on my roots with 1.9% developer?
A year ago I apply 8/93 with 6% dev on similar bleach yellow and it did nothing to correct my colour.
How dark I must go (if I don't want to do any more lift) to correct this outcome, and what formula would you recommend to make it more natural golden, or slightly peachy.
I would be extremely helpful to anyone who gives me advice on any question above.
