Opinion on colouring brassy hair

[mollie1985]

Hello all looking for opinions, basically my client who is natural base 4 was getting a lots of bleached foils and toned by myself, she always asks for full head application but I always talked her out of it saying I don't think she would like it, anyways she's went and put a home colour on it and it's now glowing at the roots more yellow than orange and she hates it, she hates the all over look(as I said) more than the colour so my thought was to maybe put loads of low lights through it like maybe 7/73 colour touch? Or she says she likes the ombré look so maybe 7/73 through the top area and dearer down mid way with 8/73? Another option was pick out foil sections and put conditioner on them and then flood between with the 7/73 ? X

Errm isnt /73 brunette gold? over already yellow hair? You want to be toning that down with a violet base i reckon, dunno what that is in wella but im sure people will recommend illumina shades to you.

8/69 or 7/81 but it's hard to say without a picture.

I'm not looking to really neutralise the yellow I'm looking to darken it back down, so needs to be level 7 or 6, so because of that I was looking to add more warmth into it rather than pre pigging? I normally use 7/73 when doing lowlights and it always come out beautiful, I'm wanting a nice warm colour don't want anything flat xx

8/69 is lovely cam but that would just neutralise it and the 7/81 would be quite flat on it I think plus I would be worried with that being a blue tone over the yellow xx

I agree in your first idea for fomulas. You don't always need to neutralise especially when darkening. Often using ash can grab kakhi on various lightening levels. Stay with brown/gold is the safest bet and will tone down. I am for your ombre idea.

Hi thanks yeah think I'm going to ombré it, will post pics when done, doing it on Saturday xx

 

[nickiemma]

Good luck! The only upside is at least you didn't do it and she hates it, she will listen to you more in future hopefully! X

 

[mollie1985]

Thanks, I know I must admit I did take great delight when she messaged me and said lol x

What about colour touch plus 77/07 on roots going into 88/07

Be careful and don't forget to strand test especially if she's done her hair herself. A lot of "home"products have metallic salts and that could result in a hair disaster. Not telling you to suck eggs love just to err of the side of caution. 😀

Lol don't worry I'm going for a test piece tonight for the incompatibility
But that's good shout about doing a strand test with the colour while I'm there xx

Mollie you really should be pre piggin even if your using 7/73 it will fade so fast over bleached hair! X

 

[mollie1985]

Just been to see her hair, it's lighter than I thought so going to pre pig with perfecton /34 then use 7/71 over it xx

 

[beckstar!]

That's sounds good Are you using 7/1 global or you doing an ombré? X

 

[mollie1985]

Hello everyone, did the clients hair this morning didn't get a before as was running behind due to client being late but got an after pic, was really pleased with it. So client came in with a picture and it was more all darkened down but with few highlights through the top and lighter through the bottom so I did this,

-took few fine sections out from the top and applied conditioner then applied perfecton /3 through the root areas and few inches down

-applied 7/7 as we wanted it a warm colour then I combed all that down through the ends til it looked blended but still leaving bit of the blonde out

-then toned it all with 9/16

 

[beckstar!]

That all sounds good to me mollie why did you tone it all with 9/16? X

 

[mollie1985]

Yeah was really pleased with it, I wanted to clean up the parts I left out in the foils as they were yellow at the root area so used koleston and pastel xx
