I have client who is base 6 and got highlights with about 4 inches of regrowth . She wants to go full head blonde. I will need 9% peroxide with tint to lift her natural colour at the roots but how do i lift any natural colour from the mid lengths and ends and cover the old highlights too. Any advice on how i get rid of the regrowth band and get it all one colour.

From base 6 I'd bleach with 6% Hun but she still have natural hair on ends? Well what I do sometime is I weave it then on the foils if I see some natural hair I apply the bleach on and try not to get in the other hairs and then try to put the blondes outside the foil and fold it that's what I do I hope u know what I mean xx

Ok this is what I do. lift roots, heavy highlight and what is showing brown from mid to end-I turn my brush sideways and brush them, any natural that is between foils, brush them after foiling is complete, process, tone. Just my way though, I hope this helps some.
Thank you. I did some test cuttings and wella koleston 10/16 with 9% came out a nice colour as her hair has lots of gold and she doesnt want it orangey. I know this tint is usually for toning but it did come out nice and think with some heavy highlights will give the colour she wants. Am i right in thinking if i apply the same mixture as roots to mid lengths and ends then it wont matter if some gets on the old highlights?

Someone with base 6 I'd use 12% Hun x

Yes it will matter if you do, it will be lighter, maybe even a little grey. Then you'll have to tone that out.
It could be quite a tricky job then if i have to pick out all the natural colour in the mid lengths and ends. 
. If it does go too grey in places, i guess i could pick them out and tone them. What would you tone them with if this happens? Am also reluctant to use 12% on the scalp. Do you usually find its ok?.. Sorry to ask so many questions, its just i have the least experience with full head blondes. This lady has masses of hair too!

Yep, it is time consuming, because you have to pick out the natural. But you don't have to pick out every single hair, a few will blend, just dont skip too many. I would also tell the client she may have to come back more than once to achieve an over all blonde.

Yes use 12% on scalp, it's ok. And you can add 2 packets of Sweet'N Low to your mix, it will help the scalp from becoming too irritated.
Thats great Calliecoe, thanks for your help!
Sorry Thiago, i think you misunderstood me, if you read my original post I didnt mention doing all foils. Its going to be foils with bleach in and then a tint in between on the rest of the hair avoiding the old highlights. Could be a long job!

Sorry I get what u mean now. Maybe wrong but what I would do is....
Do the bleach highlights and in between the highlights on the regrow I'd use 12% with the 10/16 and on the middle lengths I would use with 6% if the condition of the hair allows or I would tone It with pastel and 10/16
Hope that helps xoxo
Well, four hours later, I managed to achieve what this lady wanted. Unfortunately I forgot to take the before picture before I cut of about 6 inches of hair lol! Although the before picture doesn't show it well, she had a massive band where the old highlights were grown out. Was so relieved I managed to achieve such an even result!
Thanks for all your help and advice everyone! I can sleep well tonight now!

Love it so what did u end up using then x
Thank you! I used Blondor with 6% in a T section in foils, then used Koleston 10/16 with 9% on the regrowth. After twenty mins put the 10/16 with 9% on the mid lengths and ends. Rinsed off after the 40 mins development and toned with Koleston 10/8 mixed with Pastel for about 5 mins. Believe it or not this took 2 tubes of 10/16!! she has very very thick heavy hair and it soaks up tint like you wouldn't believe lol! A long job but it was worth it.
