QuoteReplyTopic: Need Hair Coloring Help! Posted: January 12 2000 at 4:52am
I'm having a problem when I color my hair. I'm trying to achieve the "Pamela Anderson" look, the "Ivory blonde" look. When I color, the crown of my head always pulls red/golden highlights. The rest of my head is the Ivory blonde that I want. I use the Violet base to cancel out the golden, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. Has anybody here experienced pulling red and gold when they color their hair blonde??

Most likely it is because of the 'method' of the coloring process having to do with the 'heat of your scalp area accelerating the coloring process in relation to the 'normal processing' that is happening on the lengths of the hairshaft. Adjustments to timing and color formulas sometimes have to be made to 'work around this very problem. This is the very reason that Redken developed their line of Color Fusion products. william
When high-lift color is applied to your hair, it first lifts out your natural pigment, and then after the developer level has dropped to 15 Vol or less, it then starts developing the artificial pigment in the color product. If the top of your head is warmer than the rest of your head by more than just a coupld of degrees, the color product in this area stays in the "lifting" phase longer than the rest of the head. By the time you rinse the product from the hair, the product on the rest of your head has gone through the lifting phase AND the depositing phase, but the product that has been exposed to the additional heat has gone through the lifting phase, but the depositing phase has been interupted. You could either apply the color to the crown (hot) area of your head first and give it a 5 to 10 minute headstart, or you could add a liquid protein product to the color that is applied to the crown area to "bog" down the product slightly and begin the depositing phase a bit earlier. Good luck, Sigel
