QuoteReplyTopic: Hair color (red-violet-brown) help? Posted: July 15 2008 at 2:55pm
I'm a natural medium-dark brown, but I regularly color my hair a dark
violet-red, which is about half faded out now. I've been doing it for a
long time and never have any problems. Normally when I try something
new, it's a drastic change and so I take it to the salon for the first
time and do it myself after. This time all I want to do is go a bit
lighter, so I got professional hair color like I always do, just in a
new shade. I can't wait weeks to recolor it if I mess it up, and I'm
not willing to spend money at a salon to get it fixed. I dabbed a
little from the bottle onto a paper towel and the color was unexpected.
It looks like more of a golden yellow than a red. How do I get my hair
to look exactly or close to the swatch, using 20 volume developer (it's
all I have)?
Most colours that come out of the bottle are yellow. When you apply them to the hair they start to process into the hair and eventually change colour. Buy the looks of your pic, you hair looks pretty red to me already so to add more tone is really all you are doing, then the 20 vol will be fine.
If its a semi colour you have you wont need developer, only if its a Demi or permanent colour, I cant really tell with the bottle what it is as, Here in the UK and in the US, the bottles of colour, etc look different, lol.
Do a strand test see what the results are, good luck.
