Wella Reds Help Please

[SharpEdge]

I've always been told to use 6% with reds as this stops them fading too much. I have a lady with a base 4/0-5/0 who has a few slices of colour usually I use 66/46 with 6%. Do you think it will be much brighter if I use 9%? I dont want it to fade out and go orangy though.

Thanks

it will be brighter but it will fade and go coppery! why dont you put some mix tone red in with it for a boost!

using 9 is overkill, it is still only a base of 6, u do not need that amount of lift. using nine will burn out the colour and the cuticle will be left impaired and further fading will occur, remember u only need to refresh the ends n midlenghts, dont re tint them every time or ur jus constantly subjecting the hair to further damage which will equal mopre fading. lif tthe roots with the 6 and colour level the ends with a diluted colour, it will hold longer that way x
