I would be grateful for some advice.
My hair was coloured with koleston highlift 12/0 and 12/01. I wanted to get back as near as i can to my natural colour of a level 5.
I pre pigged my hair with Wella Colour Touch /43, rinsed and applied a CT 5 to roots and mid lengths, then the ends for 10 mins.
The colour is much darker and redder than i expected. The ends were porous and have really grabbed the colour.
Can anyone offer some advice as to how i could reduce the red tone or should i just wait for it to fade before doing anything.
Thanks in advance.
 
If you want to tone down the red you need to add some green to the base 5.
 
If it's porous, it will wash out and fade quite quickly with regular shampooing.

I'm thinking of using Malibu colour correction before applying CT 5/2. I'm a bit rusty on colour correction as i haven't done much in years.
