HiLast weekend i picked up some Nice and Easy Naturak Reddish Brown to use on my medium brown hair, thinking as i looked at the picture in the box that it would come out a nice auburny color. Well it came outa darker brown with some red highlights, not bad but not what I was looking for.So I called the Clariol hotline and the woman told me to mix 2 oz of Born Blonde with 1oz of developer and 1oz of shampoo , apply to my hair and check every 5 minutes till it lightened to the shade I wanted. The idea scared me because I have tried to lighten a to dark color job and ended up with hair like Woody Woodpecker.Has anyone ever done this method with success? I am aiming for a nice darker red (not mahogany or anything remotely plum like) not to carroty but not to brown. Should I just wait for the color to fade for acouple of weeks and try mixing the Natrual Reddish Brown with an Auburn shade?any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.ThanksSusannahP.S. Any haircolor shade mixing tips would be great too.
