Illumina

[Piercednige]

Will illumnia 8/1 cancel out my orange ends? Or can i add 0/88 mixtone?

It's not recommend that u mix koleston with illumina.
Illumina is a gel based colour.
Y don't u use 7/81 as a mixer tone. Put 5mls in with 30mls of 8/1 and it will cool ur hair down better without dropping in more depth.
I use 7/81 as a mix tone quite a lot. It can b a life saver

i have a client tomorrow that wants to try it Illumina. she's a natural level 5 with 25% gray mostly in the front. i do more of a gray blending on her rather than completely covering it up, and she really likes the results.

i've been using Color Touch 5/75 with 4% CT emulsion on her new growth then i use 6/75 with 1.9% on her mid-lengths and ends to refresh previous color. her mid-lengths and ends usually take the color darker bc they are more porous (we refresh the color all over every time, so there's already a lot of 5/75 built up in those strands).

i'm going to use the 5/7. to get more of the gray blending effect and keep the natural highs and lows in the hair should i use 1:1 with 4% or 1:2 with 1.9%?

You shouldn't be mixing colour touch or colour touch plus developer with permanent colour. You should only mix welloxon developer with illumina.
U can do a grey blending service with illumina. 1 part illumina + 2 parts pastel. Apply to dry hair and develop for 10 mins.

This won't give u the blend colour touch does but will certainly take the white look away.

If u pre lightening the ends then u won't nee 6% 3% or pastel id use ct tho

Do a strand test and see as I'm scared of ash hahaa anything with ash I test first lol last time mg client turned green lol

Ok so ur going to bleach the ends and then u won't need 6% as ur only depositing colour so I think u can do it with pastel can't u?
I'm not 100% sure I'd use 3% but as wella doesn't do 3% I'd use pastel

Hey! I actually picked up the Illumina Technical Guide at my local supply store and here's the info:

TONING: 1 part Illumina to 2 parts 1.9% CT Emulsion or Pastel for 5-15 minutes

GRAY BLENDING/COLOR REFRESH: 1 part Illumina and 2 parts 1.9% CT Emulsion or Pastel for 10 min if gray blending/10-15 minutes for refreshing.

DEEPER RESULTS THAN ABOVE: 1 part Illumina to 1 part 4% CT Emulsion

GLOSSING SERVICE 1 part Illumina, 1 part 1.9% CT Emulsion, 1 part Wella Post Treatment

i actually just tried the glossing service on myself with Joico Cuticle Sealer (the post treatment for their color line), and it came out great and shiny!

Hi,
Currently my client has the above Illumina colours. She wants to, eventually return to her natural base 6, so I thought I would weave low lights to get her used to a gradual return. I was thinking about 7/3, 7/81 7/77 but not sure which colours to use for flooding? Am I thinking along the right lines??
Thank you.

Hi Susie
Sorry im not able to see your pic as cant open it :-( xx

Hi
Sorry this is the illumina leaflet pic and not very big! The formulas are:
First slice 9/60 with 9% on roots
and 10/36 with 12% on mid length and ends.
Drop slice
Next slice 9/60 with 9% on roots and 10/ with 12% on mid lengths and ends.
Remaining hair is 8/1 and 10/1 with9% on roots then 4parts 10/
1part 10/1 with12% on mid length and ends.
Does that help?

Hi
That's a thought. I showed her the pic in your post and she really likes it ,so would prefer the lowlights to be honest.
Thanks snaz

Hi wondering if anyone can help wanting to try illumina on my own hair. My hair is bleached up to about a 10 at the mo. wanting to go a lot warmer and a tad darker with it all really I'm thinking still keep some blonde though so foil some out and then tint in between with pastel through the ends. Just unsure on shades as I've never used it I'm naturally a base 6 xx

What is your natural depth ? There are so many beautiful colours in illumina you can use a few to get a natural effect. The new 9/03 would be nice with 10/36 in foils
