I’m sure this is a very common problem, but would appreciate tips on best way to deal with covering grey on dark roots (keeping dark) while keeping rest of hair blonde (lightened).
Root problem
Base level of 5-6 with approx 20% dye resistant grey. I’d like to keep it dark but not using permanent colour so easier to lighten (towards level 8-9) as it grows out.
Have used Illumina 5/81+6/19, 13vol for 40mins but it didn’t cover the grey that well. Would rather stick with Illumina than using CTplus (have done in the past).
Possible solutions?
1) 20vol on own/with blondor beforehand to prep the hair?
2) 20vol with Illumina 8/69 over roots and mids (mix with 10/19 at ends) so that grey is covered permanently, then apply 5/81+6/19 on roots with 13vol the next day?
Generally was thinking to use the Illumina + 20vol on mids to lighten as roots grow out, with 13vol on rest to refresh colour.
