Hey Everyone!
 
New to this site. I've been lurking for a bit and decided to join. what a plethora of information here, thanks!
 
Anywhoo... I've been red for months. Level 5 with highlites buried under my last root job, Luv it, hate it, but its summer and want to lighten up a bit.
 
I can't seem to find colorfix but I found ColorOops and did test strands. I was NOT about to just go blindly (learned my lesson about that ;-)
 
The reason I want to strip it is last time I colored I used Feria (I KNOW) and now I have like a "halo" effect at my roots. ColorOops seems to have eliminated it.  It tested well, no breakage and I have bought protein filler to saturate my hair for redye.
 
 
I've uploaded pics on my current hair....
 
 
The test strand came out quite nicely. This is the end result of Oops and a semi. I like it!  This seems to bring out highlights that I put in a few months ago and I like it.
 
 
I like the color, got that honey thing going , but a bit too orange, so I put semi in a light blonde neutral (to cover grey) and a copper to mix together. I think with my test I rinsed too soon so no red grabbed. The pic is the end result.
 
Down the road, can I glaze or gloss it in a red shade? If so, what are your thoughts. I don't want any violet tones, I prefer I guess orange.  Plus I don't want it to change my overallcolor just toss some red in.
 
Also I have roots coming in. so I figured I can (using the same product) get roots first and then finish off rest of head. I realize with a semi, roots won't lighten. However right now it is less than a 1/4 so I'm not concerned. I am more concerned with getting an even color. I have so many shades (from some ends fading and some not) going on right now it ridiculous
 
Thanks so much for your replies!
