SO you are saying...for example...I usually blonde my bangs in the summer....instead of bleaching my bangs I can use a blonde hair color and do adouble 40 dev....? Did  I understand that correctly?
Im assuming this is less damaging on ones hair.......
Thanks,

Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great!

hi- wealth of information comes from years of training and working,
i do not have a boyhme color ring, however i do know the colors 33R and 30 R
i thought u wanted to be brown, not red- or just a darker red, like a burgandy right?
if you want to stay red but darker, you would prob need a level 5 R
if you want to be a brown with no red, then go with a level 5 or 6 brown nuteral or G- for green to cancel out the red
10 vol only one to one ratio= equal parts of each
wella is ok color for over the counter.
for the double vol idea- your hair needs to be about a level 7 or 8 in order to go to a level 10-12 with color,
each level of proxide lifts a certain amount of natural level
now remember- color doesnt lift color, so if you have color on your hair and want to use double 40 to lift, chances are it wont, and bleach would be faster.
20 vol lifts 1 level
30 vol lifts 2 levels
40 vol lifts 3-4 levels very harsh, must be watched.
typicially i use 30 vol with schwarkop bleach on most of my clients, i can watch it and get a beautiful blonde without brass or yellowing
for color, i use 20 vol for everyone.
hope i helped- where are u at- come to cali and let me do it!

Can you tell the color of the underneath is a 30....??? It matches my roots....my 30 is all at the bottom and also mixed with my other color on top.
LOl.....I live in Nashville, Tenn...a bit far if ya know what I mean....wish I could come and let you fix this mess of a weft.
 
Well Im trying to get that 30 color...it has a ginger/brown base.......hell at this point if I could get that frigin' 33 to anything other than that red/burgunday and somwhere closer I'd be skippy happy. I use to wear the 10 underneath and under my layers but after ordering the 30, well it just a bit more ginger base to it instead of that flat brown color of a 10....sorry it's the only way I can think to describe it....lol
 
The 33 is just so dark and red/b....can I really get it to a 30 or even a 10......just mixig 1 to 1? beatdeadhorsewith Sally's color???? LOL
 
Gurl I know you are the hair diva of Cali.........famous hair diva to I might add......I bow to thee oh great one!punk
 
I know..you;ve already told me.....I just hate to color it again and still not get the results...but I understand now why I didn't...now it's just trying to get the color I want. I wish I had access to better color but Sallys.... it is.......ok...going to buy 10dev. and some more color  and do a 1-1...got it!
 
Thanks for ALL the time and info tangles! Your a cool chic to share so much!
Have a great weekend...well whats left of it!
 
When are we going to see you on TV again?

ok- got it- no you need to get it lighter not darker, color will not lighten it- i do have a great suggustion-
how about leaving that in and adding about maybe 20 or so individual strands of the color you are wanting, you can apply them directly to the weft, using either microcyliders or glue for that matter-( i hate glue but on the weft it really wont matter) space them about an inch or two apart, it will blend in the top color and also give u some dimension with the darker color.
