QuoteReplyTopic: too ashy Posted: March 10 2008 at 11:46am
I have been coloring my own hair for along time now and was happier with my colors than I was with salon doing except for the $300k which I can no longer afford.
That being said the last time I lightened, I was too yellow. I would add streaks of redken shades and it worked for me. However now I decided to take it down a level as I was a multi-level and tone. The yellow had to go tho. The gal who cut my hair said she could tone it for me real cheap with the redken shades. I didn't realize but much of the back was 12N or close to it she said. The front I had just done as a test for myself of 8gw redken. Unfortunately I have that real white skin that EVERY colorist wants to make strawberry blonde or red which I HATE. Fast forward a day or so. I touched up the roots but was in a hurry and only brought them to gold (she said) looked orange to me. anyway, she put on a mix of 9NB, 9N, and some gold. My hair took in like 3 minutes and is a little darker (looks like a 7 or 8) than I would have liked But I can live with that. My problem is it is too ashy and the front where i had used topaz is a bit brassy. Is there anything I can do for a quick fix just to warm it up a bit? (I know how to fix the brassy part in front, it is the rest i am thinking about!
Thank you!!
