I wouldn't use ash on grey it'll go khaki. Why not go for just 88/0?

I use 8/1 on mums who has 80% grey and it covers well and doesn't go khaki! She like the cool blonde. You could mix 88/0 and 8/1.

Well it hasn't on my mum, now she's more grey I find I have to add base, 88/0. her natural base is a 6/7. I mix it with 6% too.

/1 is not blue. /8 is blue.
/1 sits right in the middle of the colour star and neutralises everything a little bit but not fully. That's why it is such a popular tone with blondes ect because it is a safe tone to use. It doesn't fully neutralise any tone though.
I would suggest 8/17, this is a nice colour for grey, it is not too warm like 8/3 but will not cool the colour down too much.

You sure? It seems to go pretty blue to me, /8 is soft ash/blue

Yes I'm positive. Look on the mix and more colours at the back of your shade chart and you will see that 0/88 is blue.

Cool, that's fine. I thought you had lots of Wella knowledge and loved the product as you always give Wella advice on here. Sorry, my mistake.

Think we'll agree to differ on that one, i've had some gorgeous colours from Wella over my 20 year hairdressing career. Wouldn't do for us all to be the same though would it.

I didn't think it was blue, but I didn't like to say cause I probably could have been wrong.
I was taught /1 is a bit of all the colours for instance when u was a kid and did painting and when u looked at your water pot it was muddy colour that's what ash is. May not be a good example lol!!

Hello
The 88/0 and all the doubles cant be put with any other tint as
this dilutes the double and therefore no point in using them.
can add mix tone to them but not another base.
This was told to me on Mon at Wella course by Technician
Hope this helps

Thanks 4 replies ! In the end I used 88./0 and very few fine scattered foil's, its STILL threw outside to much warmth, not obviously not as much as the 8/3 but 2 much for what I was aiming for, I sure she must be a ginger tryin to get out ! grrrr

That's interesting, just wondering when you said it dilutes the double, did you mean it dilutes the tone ? X
