I purchased the Color Gems semi-perm in a lt ash brown (opal family of colors) to color my gray roots. (I'm using semi-perm while I ponder letting my gray grow out and stop coloring entirely.) The instruction booklet says to mix it with 50% of a color from the quartz selection, and I bought lt. natural brown. My question is: why do I need to mix these colors? The color I'm striving for is a cool lt brown with no gold or red, so why isn't the lt ash brown fine on its own? Why does Color Gems recommend this mix for gray hair? Thanks! |

Perhaps it's to fill out the colour a bit more. If you think
about it, grey hair is colourless/almost colourless, it needs pigment
putting back in and the medium brown will do that by putting a bit of
red in that you won't notice in the colour. I may just be talking
crap, but it makes sense to me
