Hi I'm mobile its 15 years since i trained as a hairdresser and beauty therapist....I don't do much hair now mainly beauty......a friend has recomendedd me to a newish client who has been having solid chocolate brown full head colour at a salon, she had found it too dark the ends were very dry and split an she didn't want to loose too much length she has long hair.....she had been letting it fade. We discused helping her grow out he solid colour build up, then as it grows out we could introduce some dark blond tones to lighten it. When she came to me she had a very wide natural root area (about 3-4 inches)
I suggested that we use a lighter brown tone i used (ion) 5.53 with 9% cream peroxide developer which was an excellent match to what the ends had faded to. She as really happy with it....I've just done a second appointment of low lights and another trim most of the split ends are gone now although there is still colour build up on the mid length to ends. she feels that the overall colour is a little bit redder than she would like. How do I get it a more milk chocolate brown for her & counteract the red tone the original colour is fading to without going too dark, does that make sense? i was wondering about using a semi permanent colour wash.....
