Hi, this is my first post. Please be nice I've been reading the threads on here for a while and found it so useful...you all know your stuff!
Anyway I have a client (family member) who would like to go lighter. From about a level 5 to a very light brown. I've shown her the matrix socolour chart and she likes 8N.
I started hairdressing over 10 years ago so have coloured hair lots over the years, but I've recently returned to college after being a stay at home mum for years, so I'm basically learning everything again and I'm not familiar with any particular brands.
Firstly, my tutor suggested a bleach bath (which I've never done, But happy to try) or stripping the hair. Or my client would also be happy to have it bleached all over first if necessary. Of these, which would you all recommend?
Secondly, as she likes the shade 8N, I would like to get her as close to this as possible. However she wants a light brown, and we're obviously going to be colouring it from a orange/yellow colour, so there's no guarantee that her hair will look like the picture she's seen. So are there any very light browns that you'd recommend, perhaps that will help to eliminate the orange/yellow and also get her to the shade she would like?
I've included the picture she's seen of 8N, which is the colour she would like to achieve.
Hope that all makes sense and thank you.
