I have a client who at consult had box shade 4 on her hair, very flat. She wanted to achieve a lighter all over colour with different tones x
She is natural base 5 with grey mainly sides and front hairline, naturally wavy which she always straightens never left natural so because of this each time I go her hair has not really got any longer :-/ ( I advise on shampoos conditioners and heat protecting products and do a conditioning treatment for her every visit)
First visit her hair had faded to a shade 5 so I applied majirel 5.3 and 20vol taking it through to ends and did a full head of foils bleach and 3% lifting to a level 8, she was happy with the result.
Since then I have just done roots each time as I don't want to damage the ends especially with the straightening.
However I felt that a 5.3 was still dark with the highlights so last visit I used a 6.3 which was less harsh but I'm still not happy even though client is!
Even though I've only been doing roots of highlights I do feel it's looking more blocky...
Ideally would like a lighter shade still on roots but if I put a 7.3 with 20 vol on a base 5 will it lift enough? I know is 1-2 levels...or should I go through with 6.3 semi lowlights next time so roots are less obvious??
Not sure if this all makes sense...any help appreciated 😊
