Hi Folks,
Well, I decided to help someone out and dye his system back to the original color.
It did NOT go well.
The system was a custom, but the closest color would be a #4. It faded at least 2-3 shades lighter.
It's also a bit, ahem, TRASHED (dry). Used L'Oreal DiaRichesse #5 (just to be safe) with a 9 volume developer.
OK, so I left it on a bit TOO long (application + 20), and it went to a #2. Next unit, just as faded, five minutes total same results, #2.
My stylist/mentor said try a strand for 1-2 mins, and if that works, do the system in sections (it's longish hair).
Anyone want to share their coloring experiences ahem @Noah?
BTW, when I did other systems using lighter shades (8-9) range, no problems like this.
Thanks,
Steve
