Hi,

I’m currently going from a natural level 2 virgin hair to a power blonde, from the Clairol website formula. This formula is supposed to counteract the brass.

Here is the formula that I’m going to use:

Step 1: Create the canvas.

Use a cool-based permanent color applied in a virgin application to lighten the base while counteracting contributing pigment. Try 2 oz. Miss Clairol 32D, Moonhaze, with 1 oz. 36D Moonlit Brown with 3 oz. 30-volume developer.

Step 2: Create dimension.

Use BW2 Dedusted Powder Lightener mixed with 20-volume developer to desired consistency. Foil, concentrating the lightness around the hairline, and less lightening around the crown. Rinse, shampoo and towel-dry thoroughly. .

Step 3: Add color glaze. Try 1-1/2 oz. Second Nature 8N(136N) Light Neutral Blonde and ½ oz. 7RO(141RO) Medium Red-Orange Blonde mixed with 2 oz. 10-volume developer

Please let me know what you guys think, any advice or suggestions.

I have also included the link to the Clairol website.

Would it be okay if I add a neutral protein filler to the hair dye on step 1, (above)?

How can I make a volume 25 developer? I was thinking of using a volume 25 instead of a 30, being that it’s strong.

PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

I'm thinking this won't work...I'd strand test prior to a full coloring.  I'm seeing a brassy color.  You are trying to go up about 4 levels without bleaching first.  Not always a good idea.  I think I'd bleach it all first then tone, then bleach in some highlights.  Good luck!  Post pics when you finish.
