Wella Koleston colours for 100% grey

[Cuteyolz]

Ok, so let me try and make this clear as I’ve contacted Wella and they don’t get what I’m saying! Argh I have 100% grey.
My questions are
1. I was told colours like 66/02 can cover up to 100% greys completely with a lovely tone. Ok, ok BUT why make colours like 66/0 THEN tell us add a warm or ash colour to it for a reflect, when we can use just 66/02(as an example)

2. I saw a video of this guy saying for 75% grey hair, you should mix 75% of pure natural with 25% of a warm or ash colour . Ok, is that the same ratio for 100 grey hair? And why is he breaking the 50/50 rule when dyeing over 50% grey hair, cos that’s what I read i the Wella site!

1) 66/02 is a fairly new shade, it's a cooler toned intense grey coverage formula. I guess your ideal client would be someone with 50% white hair and a natural base of 6. They want a cool result. 66/02 is perfect.

66/0 is the original intense grey coverage formula. It is purely natural for a level 6. So if you were covering 100% white hair and client wanted a neutral level 6 then 66/0 would be ideal.
You can also add any of the mix tones to the formula to adapt the tonal quality to whatever you require.
An example is a client with 100% white hair wanting to be a level 6 with a copper gold tone.
So using the rule of 11.
E.g
11- 6(target base level) = 5.
5= cm of 0/43 mix tone for every 30g 66/0.
5cm÷2 = 2.5g
So your formula would be 30g 66/0 + 2.5g 0/43 + 32.5g 6% .

2) you can use the 66/0 on its own or in any ratio that suits your needs.
In the past I've used it on people who don't have white hair.... Simply to create that neutral dense colour.
Anything above 50% of 66/0 in your formula would just increase the White coverage - especially for corse/ stubborn hair.

Thank you but I was looking at 6/77 to add to 66/0 or 77/0 with 7/77.

Thank you!
I’m looking at 77/0 (or 7/00) with 7/77 or 66/0 (or 6/00)with 6/77. I need to test my greys . They can be resistant, depending on the brand .
So is it , like you said, Eg . 30g of 66/0 and 2.5g of 6/77? Plus 32.5 of 6% peroxide? Why do they keep saying 50/50 on their websites for over 50% grey?
Also can I add any colour to the intense range or does it have to be warm or golden for better coverage


BTW, Why am I seeing comments in forums that say you can’t mix anything with intense range,you can only use another colour from the “intense natural” range . Eg if you use 66/0, you can only mix it with 55/0 or 77/0 , or is that old news?

You can mix then any way you want (excluding special blondes range) .... But it affects the coverage.
As I mentioned above the intense coverage range is supposed to be mixed with special mix - which will still guarantee that more intense coverage for stubborn white hair.

When you mix it with a a fashion shades... I.e. 6/77 or 7.1 or 7.3 you run the risk of less intense coverage.
But if you stick with at least 50% of your formula being 66/0 or 77/0 you'll be fine.
I've never not known it to cover ..... I've been using wella for 10+ years.

Thank you..I was told by and “expert” not to use 6/3 cos it will cause brassy warm tones. I want warm tones! BUT just don’t want the brassy roots

One more question…I wan to try the /00 range ..eg. 6/00 with 6/77, should I keep the /77 or just /7.

Okay /3 is gold. /7 is brunette, /77 is intense brunette. /7 is nice for warmth without Glow, /77 is nice for a deeper richer tone without too much red.
