I hope someone can offer some good advice.
I just colored a human hair lace wig of Chinese remy hair, that was a strawberry blonde color.. maybe a level 8? with warm yellow-orange tones. I was aiming for a rich henna red kind of color, a bit of copper would have been welcome. I attempted to color the wig using Redken color fusion in 6R. I've successfully dyed lace wigs in the past, by the way; previously I have used Feria from Sally's, but I wanted to use something 'better' for this wig. Well, this one is now a disaster!!!!
The color did not take evenly at all (after processing for 45 minutes with 10 developer and carefully sectioning and spreading the color). The areas that did take came out something like a strawberry - there is pink in the tone. YUCK! I want to make this go away (the pink, that is) . I want to recolor using one of the Redken EQ shades. I'm trying to figure out which one to use that can (if possible) bring the entire wig to a combo of shades I can live with. So... we have strawberry pink areas and blonde/red areas on the wig. I think I don't want to touch one of the Redken reds since they seem too cool for me, so I'd rather go to the copper end. I'd liketo end up with a coppery red, copper red and brown?, copper and ANYTHING but strawberry. Any advice?????
thank you!!!
