Hi Kate,
I did find this: "A drabber is an additive that is used in permanent haircolor to counter the red/orange that can show up when lightening your hair. It is usually added by the capful. When an ash shade is still leaving hair with warm tones a drabber can be added and this will help cool the color down." Also its a term recognised by FreeDictionaryonline as: Drabīber n. 1. &n bsp;One who associates with drabs; a wencher. ....but I chose to go with the first meaning!!!  \
Edited to cut and paste the info rather than the linky. |

a haha naomi. a wencher. kate here in the us i've seen "drabbers" which are basically things you add to haircolor to pull out the brassiness. basically like the purple shampoo but you add it to your haircolor. |
