Anyone been using the wagman colors?

I've only gone darker with #33 and added a copper color to #2 with the colored Wagman. With the virgin, I've taken it from its natural color to a Level 3 brown-copper-gold, just by applying my color with 30 v. developer and processing it for 30 mins. with heat. The color lifted just enough to deposit the reddish tone I wanted. I've also used bleach on the virgin and deposited color for highlights, and that was pretty easy too. To get #4 you could either get a lighter brown colored Wagman and just add the darker color. You could probably do this with 10 V. developer so it wouldn't be harsh on the hair. That's what I did with the #33--30 mins. and no heat and it was great.

As far as length, I've had everthing from 12" to 18". The ends do need to be trimmed, maybe an inch or two, but I've mostly worn mine much shorter than the extension hair so a lot gets trimmed off anyway.

Malibu, as far as the brand and color, I've figured a way to get Schwarzkopf professional color. It is so gentle on the hair and the color really lasts longer. My color is 4-57. I went to a BSS that sells Schwarzkopf (but only to professionals) and looked at their book to figure out my formula initially. Later I had my stylist help me when I wanted to change the color to what I'm wearing now. I use 10 V. on my regular hair and 30 V. when I'm coloring the virgin Wagman to match. It doesn't lift the color much, but certainly enough to get a slightly lighter and redder shade.

Thats good to know!  I'm a #3 right now, thinking about going back to #4....wonder which I should get??  Maybe go with the "virgin" wagman and color it myself, that way it would match perfect....What length do you get kristie?  Do you find you need to trim the ends much?

I'm surprised we haven't heard much about the new wagman product.  Anyway, I'm in the market for some hair so I thought I'd ask.
