Bogus hair color job

Dear Marguerite,I am so sorry to hear about your bogus hair color experience. I would like to recommnd that you consider having a "reverse" highlight job. I would first recommend that you find a "colorist" or a hair color expert to work with your hair.Then I would recommend that you ask them to do the reverse highlight where they weave in many different colors to compliment your brown hair and blend in the slight grey. I have seen several women with this technique and their hair looks stunning. What this process should involve is applying a plastic cap and then pulling strands through. Then the colorist would apply lighter and darker complimentary colors to your hair. The entire hair would not be colored. Just certain strategically placed strands.I have had this process done to my blond hair with incredible results. My colorist will add both darker and lighter blonde shades in small quanties. It adds shine and body to my hair and gives it a wonderful natural look.A good colorist can reverse the bad color job and give you wonderful "low lights".Where to find a good colorist? Call the best salons in town and ask who is the best colorist they have. Go for a consultation first before you let them touch your hair. Shop around. If you see someone in public with gorgeous color...ask for a recommendation.You can also use the Aveda Black Malva shampoo and conditioner. This will darken your hair and disquise the gray. Just like the Blue Malva shampoo with highlight blonde and gray....Black Malva will add a deep brunette color and could help you overcome the brassiness that you currently have.Don't give up. With the right colorist...you can make your hair gorgous.Good luck.Karen
