Hi guys,
So I recently got my hair done at the salon from very dark brown to an auburn brown colour (has more of a red/copper colour than brown).
The colour faded pretty quickly (as the hair stylist mentioned as I had a bleach bath, etc.)
The colour that I had was amazing -although a little too dark- but I'm not worried about the colour from the salon, as a great job was done.
The problem is that I used Majirel 4.5 today with 20vol 6%, as I needed the colour topping up from the fading and they couldn't fit me in at the salon, as I work full time and it's a struggle for anyone to fit me in. I also wanted to get a lighter colour than what I had.
The colour which i used was 'copper blonde' and after using it the same was as the stylist recommended (she didn't tell me which vol to use- that was recommended by the worker at
Sallys)
So I rinsed out the colour and what I have now is a gross dark red/copper which really doesn't look nice at all. The colour is way too dark even though it is a level 7, which is the colour which was originally used by my hair stylist.
I really don't like the colour, and it's definitely not what I want, and was wondering if anyone can help with their advice.
I wanted to go to a ginger shade (I know there are lots of different gonger shades) but this isn't even one of them.
Please can you help with giving me some advice on what to do. There's no way that I will be able to get an appointment at the salon for the next couple of weeks.
I know that some of you will say to not do it myself, but I would really like to correct it ASAP.
Thanks in advance
I've added a photo of what my hair looked like just after it was done at the salon. My hair is more red than this now, but is roughly the same type of shade and is the same level- level 7.
