Hi,
my hair is currently a 1B but its naturally a light/medium sparrowy brown (which i really don't like). I love these colours:

and would love to create a much longer version of this style. Can anyone advise which colours these would be? (And even better has anyone bought hair from rapunzelhair.com? I was thinking of getting a remi weft of each and using LG on them to do a mix of individual highlights and glued tracks)
thank you so much for any help!xx

I would think the blond would be a #22. As for the brown, it looks a litle auburn brown in the picture. Maybe a Bohyme #5?
Nice colors. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Okay I had a disaster :D i had to bleach the black out only it went top far and turned yellow. When i put a brown over this (i know, stupid but i hated it so much i panicked....) it came out a horrible greeny light brown. Does anyone have any idea how I can turn this to match a number four?Its a medium deep chocolate brown and Ive been to sallys and got a whole bunch of conditioners to improve the strength of my hair first!
Thanks for any help!xx

Go back to sallys and get a 6G or even a 6RG (red-gold), your hair's porous so the color will take more like a 4 and the gold tones will cancel out the green makin them neutral. Keep in mind usually a 4 in extensions isn't the same in hair color, but you could color them to match. If you have black hair color in your hair consider it death to blonde. You could tone it with a beige (purple based) high lift blonde but since you've colored over it already, bleaching again might make your hair fall out. If your going darker it won't really damage your hair a whole lot. Use 10 volume developer since your hair's already brown.------------- I'm selfish, impatient, & a little insecure, I make mistakes, I am out of control, & at times, hard to handle. But if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as HELL dont deserve me at my best |
