Hi Geeks

I have a client with hair depth 8/0 with quite ashy undertones. Last time she had highlights on virgin hair & wanted high lift wella 12/1.....Used 9% with 12/1 for 50 mins. The result was very warm highlights.....this surprised me a little. This time she'd like lighter/ whiter/ Nordic blonde highlights, so I'm thinking of giving the high lift colours a miss & opting for bleach using pastel or 3% & using an illumina toner 10/69. I only use Wella. Any advice on why the 12/1 went quite yellow & maybe another high lift colour to use instead if I can achieve what she wants, would be appreciated thanks.

The 1 alone wouldn't be strong enough to neutralise.
12/81 will really cool it down and also 12/16 will too.

The minimum development for wella high lifts without heat is 60 minutes too.
 
High lift is really only designed to be used with 40vol. That's what our wella rep told us. And I agree wit the above. 12/11 gives more of a cool tone.
But I love blondor highlights tones with illumina 10/69. It's my go to.
 
Thanks all for advice. I bought in 12/16 but opted for bleach & used 10/69 which was fab x
