I bought Clairol 'Coffee' medium ash brown level 3/green base and 20
volume developer from Sally's (I made the mistake of asking for
help..hmm...).. I am almost clueless, I admit, but I want to do it
myself! I've done a few hair dyes successfully in the past, but never
from Sally's, usually just the grocery store products. I only want to
do the bottom, because the color has worn off from when I had it done
at the salon. My natural color is a very dark brown. (See?) There's a bad hair dye job in that mix, as well.
I'm not sure what I want to do with the rest, the highlights, but I
know I don't want to highlight anything other than the top panel from
now on. I want my hair to grow and stay healthy, atleast for a little
while. My problem is going dark, I don't think I'm quite ready. I
really like the highlights.

your hair looks really nice.I think the color scheme really works for you IMO.If your trying to keep your healthy I would just recommend a clear protein filler from sally's.Hair gets very porous after highlights.I understand about going dark though.i just went dark from having highlights.It was a shock.My hair isnt any better right now because of the highlights,but The dark sure does look better as I'm a natural brunette too.Its alot easier for me to keep my hair healthy at its natural color.good luck
Do not try it, what you need is a level 6 dark blonde neutral toner, because porous hair sucks up color like a sponge, and always turns out way to dark. So you need to pick a dye that's 2 levels lighter than your target level.
Think this thru before doing ahead with it, because going back is hard and very damaging to your hair.
I sorta figured that.. I was too scared to just try.. THANK YOU!!!
I'm aiming for the dark brown coffee color, just not the base green! So
I pick two shades lighter than 'coffee', is the color I had "toner" or
am I looking for something else now? Also, other parts of the hair at
the back of my head are colored a dark red, will the toner cover that?
