Is this right- have lost all faith in hairdressers?

I have just made an appointment with hairdresser. I want my blond highlighted hair dyed light brown (my natural colour). I told her that i was worried as tried this myself with very gentle no ammonia/peroxide toners and i get horrible brassy tones showing, espeically when colour fades.


she says she has to do it in two stages 1.put red all over first ????and then the brown


I am not sure and sure dont want brassy red hair permanently.





is she right?Is this right- have lost all faith in hairdressers?
yes she is right. I had the same problem and the hairdresser put a red on first rinsed it and then put the shade i wanted. I must admit it was the most nerve wrecking two hours i have ever experienced but it worked! I am so glad to be rid of highlights and roots!!!Is this right- have lost all faith in hairdressers?
Your hairdresser is correct. In order to restore colour to bleached hair you have to fill in with red first and then brown over the top. If not, you end up with brassy tones. Trust your hairdresser, she knows what she is doing.
Yep, she's right. Odd as it may sound you need to build the colour back up in layers, and all brown tones have a degree of 'redness' and a degree of 'greenness' to them. The brassiness is the 'greenness' of the dye beginning to come through after the red has faded out a little- as reds tend to fade quicker. A professional colourist (maybe she is one?) will know how to restore the right balance of shades to your hair. Don't worry, she knows what she's doing!
yes as if you put brown on with out the red it could go green you dont need to put deep red on or keep it on long about 5 mins it helps hold the brown on your hair too
she's right, if she didnt put the red in it, in time it would go green. I got it my blonde hair dyed brown without the red in it and after a couple of washes it went a horrible green colour
yes she is 100% right, you have found a good hairdresser there. when bleaching hair to blonde it will go through stages of stripping hair of its natural underlying pigments: http://photobucket.com/albums/j157/plati鈥?/a> so when you wish to go back to a darker colour then you have to put that pigmentation back IN or otherwise you will end up with ';muddy'; green hair (think of mixing yellow and brown in a paint palette, you would come up with ';muddy'; green, right? well hair is exactly the same) hence why you need to put a red ';filler'; on before the dark colour.
no....not if a professional color line is used properly. It's a matter of determining the shade you wish to be, and chosing the right color or colors (custom blending) that will not only neutralize reddish, brassy tones. It really depends on the salon usually for what color line that they use. The truth is lightened hair will have a bit of fading, and there are sealers that can lock in the color for a longer period. In my 20 years of coloring in the salon, I can say, I've just about used them all. But, if you can find a stylist that used Framesi hair color, and you are willing to pay a bit more. That is the color I would recommend. I personally won't use any other color line, if the stylist is good, they should be able to custom blend a natural and very complimentary color. Usually your hair is shinier and softer than before. Framesi goes one step further than most other colors, after rinsing the color, a liquid is applied and left on for 5 mins. this liquid, stops the color from processing, and neutralizes any residual peroxide in the hair. This process locks in the color, and shuts down the cuticle, leaving the hair without a smell and since the peroxide and color have been neutralized, you won't be seeing your color wash out and down the drain. If you really like the color, and you want more assurance, and glossifier or semi-permanent clear gloss over the top ....this will make the color last about 2-4 weeks longer (depending on how often you wash your hair) . One more thing about Framesi color, even their developers(peroxides) have coconut oil and other buffers to protect the hair from being over processed and dry. I hope I helped you ....good luck
