I have dyed hair, a coffee brown shade, and no i want to go some levels lighter , using Wella koleston special, according to the instructional you can do that using Welloxon 12 % when you go 3 levels down, on darker shades

 

My questions is, do i have to discolour my hair first with bleach , then apply the desired shade? or do i just apply the koleston colour? since i have colour in my hair.

 

Hope someone can  help me..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes you will have to pre lighten your hair first. As colour wont lift colour. Wella have a product called Magma, which comes in varies shades of Red and Blondes. Magma will lift and deposit colour at the same time. It comes in powder form not a tube and use with 12% peroxide. Just out of interest, what special mix are you going for?

 

I hope this helps a little.

I was going for the Koleston shade 44/44 intense medium red brown shade. but i think i go to the salon. so i got the right result.

 

thanks for the answer ! :-)

 

 

 

 

However I love Wella Koleston and I've just had my hair re-colored with 66/44 and 0/43. I find their red shade are fairly long-lasting and they have such a huge selection of colors.

 

if your have to pre-lighten I would do so with Blondor and then color over with Koleston.
