I have light brown hair. from years of coloring my hair red (all shades) and purple, I have lots of gold tones in my hair. when I pile my hair on top of my head it is SO noticeable it's annoying I don't want to color my hair since I haven't had color on it in almost three years my sister-in-law suggested I use a color shampoo by Loreal. it's for blondes to get rid of the gold tones in hair I have been using it for almost two weeks. I haven't noticed much of a difference in my color. should I keep using the shampoo and be patient or just color my hair with a light brown ash color? ------------- I am at 32" ~goal length 36" |

You can use a semi light ash brown to cancel out the warm tones. I take it you are using the purple/violet shampoo, stop it wont make much of a difference. Semi are very gentle on the hair, the ash will just cancel out warm tone already in your hair.

thanks. I did think about doing a semi. I was hesitant about the shampoo (sorry, you are correct, it is the violet shampoo) I will do the semi next week. I wonder what my sister is doing next week.........?????????? ------------- I am at 32" ~goal length 36" |

IA with Karen. Just want to note that there are some colour-depositing conditioners (eg. Artec) that act like semis. They come in browns and if you left it on your hair for about 1/2 an hour, it would be a conditioning treatment as well as a toner for your hair. It's an easier alternative if you don't want to go with chemicals! ------------- Love clip-ins and tape! |

well I bought a light ash brown semi (it took three bottles to cover my head - glad I stopped getting it done at a salon, paying for the applications is rough on the wallet) my hair turned out a bit darker then I was thinking. I do like the color and so does my husband I may try an ash for dark blonde next time and see if it comes out a bit lighter ------------- I am at 32" ~goal length 36" |

your colour will fade slightly after a few washes so dont worry about that, but glad it all worked out ------------- karen sanderson |
