QuoteReplyTopic: PLEASE help me, subtle pinkish/beige.... Posted: March 27 2005 at 5:20am
Hi, I'm new here, and really need help.
I have highlights that are very dull and ugly, and they are very pale
yellow and a few gold yellow, there has been no toner put over them yet
and that's why they are so ugly, but I don't want toner I don't think.
I want to put a haircolor over them, like a demi-permanent color, so I
can have a "blush-blonde" color or pinkish-beige blonde, not obviously
pink of course, but a pinkish cast to liven up my sallow complexion.
Hair dressers have already told me I would look good in this color,
however, they are not sure how to achieve the color for sure, and I
don't trust them, as I've had nothing but bad experiences all my life
with salons for some reason. I never ever ever get anything close
to what I ask for in salons.
Once I find out how to "tweak" a blonde color to achieve a
pinkish/beige hair color, I could have a salon do it for me and do a
strand test.
If I add a drop of burgundy hair color to a light beige-blonde hair
color, would this work? I know it would have to be the tiniest
amount of burgundy.
The reason I want to put haircolor over my bleached highlights is
because my highlights need depth and conditioning with a good
conditioning hair color. I don't think a toner can condition my
hair the way a good color can.
THanks so much

First of all color does NOT condition hair. It is a coal tar based tint mixed with H2O2 (peroxide) that is strong enough to lift the cuticle on your hair, so there is no conditioning going on. Toner is a deposit only color, that isn't mixed with H2O2.
The pinky/beige colors are usually called Champagne Blondes, they have a very light pink base.

If you want to play with mixing colors, this is definitely a job for a strand test. Clip a 1/4" wide piece from an inconspicuous area and color it in a dish to see what happens.
