I'm having a problem when I color my hair. I'm trying to achieve the "Pamela Anderson" look, the "Ivory blonde" look. When I color, the crown of my head always pulls red/golden highlights. The rest of my head is the Ivory blonde that I want. I use the Violet base to cancel out the golden, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. Has anybody here experienced pulling red and gold when they color their hair blonde??

Most likely it is because of the 'method' of the coloring process having to do with the 'heat of your scalp area accelerating the coloring process in relation to the 'normal processing' that is happening on the lengths of the hairshaft. Adjustments to timing and color formulas sometimes have to be made to 'work around this very problem. This is the very reason that Redken developed their line of Color Fusion products. william
