What is her base?

The reason you had no tone before is there was possibly just too little put in. If I want a tone to notice I am quite heavy handed with it. If the base is not needed i.e you are not covering grey or going down more than one level, I would stick the tone on with equal amounts of 3%. You would get a nice rich colour.

Is it a true purple you are going for or a dark colour with a purple/plum sheen?

sorry she is base 5. got 1 inch roots and a 5/0 and 5/77 all over.
yeah i want it noticable..
thanks for the reply,
yeah i thought just to do the purple(whtever i choose) and a tin y bit base but bit scared the roots are gonna be bright purple
cheers x

Just make the mix with less purple on the roots and they shouldn't glow

Good luck!

4/79 is a great viton shade its extra intense i dont know if they still make it . another way of avoiding glow at the roots is to use a lower peroxide eg 6% ends 3% roots , and apply to midlengths and ends first , roots last
