Hi Kezzie. the main problem is the porous and damaged hair. It's great that you recommend the Redken CAT protein because that's what she needs and she need to KEEP doing it. If you are going more than two levels darker on her, it would be good to fill using a light golden colour. Apply a deposit only on all of her hair without peroxide and let it sit for 10 mins. THEN mix your level 7 colour and apply right directly over that filler. You need to pack that pigment back into her hair until it stays. Once her hair gets back a bit healthier, the colour will stick. Get her to try the Grund Tiger Reconstructor --- it works like a charm on bleached hair (i use it regularly).

that's a good question! You should NOT get a golden colour even with the filler (if the hair is as damaged as you think). Although, I wouldn't use too deep of a gold filler. A strand test would be great in this situation, but I know how that goes!

Can't wait to hear how it goes!Tongue
