I'm currently working with Clairol and I'm having a problem with a client.She's a natural level 4 with large amount of white hair.She wants to be a level 4 brown/red.I used 1 1/2 of a level 4n 1/2 oz. red w/ 20 vol.The roots were way too light and pink.Next time I used 1 1/4 oz level 3n 1/4 oz. level 3 red w/ 20 vol. Still too light.Could it be that I need to be using 10 vol. or do I need to go to a level 2.Any suggestions??
