just a quick question for you geeks as my head feels in a colded up bubble!!! damn this time of year! my mil briefly asked me if id put a few fine highlights on the parting of her hair, i replied i would and that id talk to her tomorrow. Ive never done her hair before she hasnt got any colour on it and is your typical salt and pepper colouring. through the top and parting she is snow white and the back is a darker grey. she said therough the summer the sun had lifted the top and she liked the effect and wanted just a few hilights to replicate this. Like i said i need to have a good talk to her, but obviously with her being white i cannot lift this can i as their is no pigment to lift??? what im guessing is the sun may have lifted some of the yellow undertones that can sometimes occur with being so light which gave the illusion of being brighter? so a toner like wella 0/6 should be able to replicate this or using a silver shampoo. ?But if its definate streaks she wants what would you use a 10/1? even though this is probs classed as going darker would it give a two dimension effect? any ideas to throw my way so ive got a few things to be going on with. i will do some test pieces ? just feel a little stumped and obv being my mil i dont want any disasters!!!
