Do you mix hair color line brands ever?  Whether you're a pro colorists or a DIYer, do you buy a variety of color lines but then mix and match?  Or is that a no-no?

A friend of mine who is a haircolorist said that she didn't use to mix and match at the beginning but now she would have a lot of different color lines laying around and didn't want to use throw them away.

Now she mixes and matches all the time.

Thoughts?

Different lines may offer colors that your main line doesn't. Never hurts to supplement to achieve the look a client is after.

I think it comes down to if there are very different ingredients in the different color lines, that can interact in a bad way. But do a strand test and see how it'll turn out.

Also you should keep in mind that certain developers can be mixed with different hair color brands. But I think there is a certain upside to experimenting. Different brands carry colors that you might not can find in just one brand.
