Hey everyone.  First post, but I have been reading here awhile. I have looked at the forum about blending root growth, but every situation is different so I wanted some of yall's opinions. Ok, My hair is like a dark blonde and lighter naturally in front. Always been lighter in front. Highlights turn reddish/orangish in back and beautiful blonde in front. Well I decided to dye my hair with Feria Blonde Chiffon (med blonde). It came out very nice. A little reddish, but it faded and looks real nice. However its been 5/6 weeks and my roots are showing. NOt bad, but still. They are darker in the back. the shade difference between the 2 is that the haircolor is orangish compared to my darker natural roots. I really dont want to re dye with a perm. color. Id like to blend it maybe with a toner .. if this will work. I understand a violet/blue base will tone the orange colors. Could someone please give me some ideas and opinions about this. Possibly with the color toner I should use. I dont mind going a shade darker to blend .. it will fade some. When it does fade, will the color difference still be there, or will it have been toned down some. I cannot determine the natural color of my hair. The front parts from my crown to my ears always has been lighter since birth .. kind of like a natural highlight birthmark ... hehe. and the back is darker. Im guessing and say a med to dark blonde. It seems to get darker as I get older. I hope I made myself clear, its late and I have been reading a lot.  Thanks ! Kristy |
