QuoteReplyTopic: HELP!!!!! Highlights gone wrong Posted: January 12 2000 at 5:26am
Hi, there...I used a L'Oreal chunking kit on my medium brown, wavy hair. Long story short, I now have some very well-placed streaks of light orange(not lighter brown or blond). I'm thinking about using L'Oreal's drabber to make them darker and more ash (I have a cool complexion, so orange is a huge contrast). I start a new job in a week, and would like to look more professional than a tiger....Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

To fix this only a pro would lighten it more with a bleach to get to the desired 'level' of base. To counteract the 'dreaded orangehead' look, use a deposit only color in a medium ash blonde to counteract the tonal problem. If I have said it once I have preached the gospel of 'doing a test strand' a million times!!!! Take the time to do a test strand and thank me later!william

First off...THANKS!!!! Everyone's info really helped. What I finally did is use a filler (so I wouldn't get green hair), then a no-lift dark ash blonde. The results are way more subtle, with just barely a hint of red. YAY!!!I'll always do strand tests from here on out, thanks again!Erin
