Hi I am new at this site. I was needing some help with one of my clients color and wanted to see if anyone could help me.
I am usually good with blondes but this one has me stumped. She previously goes to some one else for her color, and i do her cuts. I finally talked her into letting me do it. Her natural is about a 3 level and she has been colored blonde over and over so she has white ends and yellow from newgrowth to mid shaft. She has about 1/2 inch new growth showing. She wants to go back darker about a 6 or 7 level brown with blonde highlights, to try to avoid getting color so often. I dont want her to be ashy or have red tones. I would like to stick to redken but if anyone has any suggestions im open to them.  Please Help. Thank you Kaylee

couldn't you do a tint back with shades eq?  i have a book that tells you how to do that.....you probably already know....but what you do if you are going 2 shades darker (which you are) is use the shades to tint back and then put your new color on.  i hope this helps...sometimes i am not good at explaining.  there are some hair wizzards on this board.

If you want very specific advice and you are a professional hair colorist, you should sign up at behindthechair.com. This is a forum for at home hair coloring so you probably know more than us about that specific line.

If you are saying your clients natural colour is a level 3 this would make it dark brown am I right. if she want to go to a level 6 or 7 then you will need to lighten her natural colour with a 10 or you could apply a 5 light brown. As for the hi lites, I would apply bleach to the root ( new growth only, leaving the middle lengths and ends out of the foil, then apply a toner 8 or 9 with a ash tone to even out the hi lighted areas. This is only what I would advise for my clients. Maybe some other stylist on the site will give you another way to do it, as there is more than one way to do this.
 
Good luck, Karen
