I have a lady who wants her red gone and to go brown. She is quite flexable and doesnt mind if the brown still has to be warm but the red is too high maintanance for her
Shes admitted to using box dyes and applying full head instead of roots but said it wasnt xxl. I took a test peice and sold her clarifying shampoo.
Test peice with a gentle bleach bath to remove product build up (bleach, shampoo, warm water) did take some of the red out leaving deep orange/lighter red (her tinted colour is probably 5.66, natural, 5.1 ish. No greys) so ive got a deep orange/lighter red..... now this is where im in 2 minds. Shall i apply a flat 5 in the hope the underlying green cancels out enough of the red or shall i apply a 5.1?? Ive been taught that .1 is blue, violet or green but noticed some people on here have disagreed on some threads. Im going to still put a warm ish colour on the virgin hair maybe 5.35 or 5.3 as there is alot of build up and she does understand that the brown may have to be warm. Ur insight will be great as i, in my own mind was going to just go ahead with 5.1 but now these threads have made me think twice xx
