I've been highlighting my hair for several years, but since it's starting to get worn and thin, I'm going to stop. I went to the hairdresser and asked for lowlights and root shadow in my natural color, a pretty cool medium blonde color. I wanted to blend it in so that the regrowth wouldn't be so noticeable (it was about 3-4 cm). Unfortunately, the hairdresser made a mistake and managed to mix the wrong color. She had put a warm color in the mixture, and the result was golden streaks… They have tried to fix it, but I'm not satisfied. They put light streaks into the yellow, which was the exact opposite of what I wanted, since the hair shouldn't be highlighted anymore, but should grow out in its natural color. I'm wondering if I should just tone it so that everything gets a little darker, but I'm afraid of getting a greenish tint in the blonde… Will this product be suitable?
A permanent color works in such a way that it goes in and lightens the hair before it then presses in pigment. This makes the hair become very warm after a while when the cold pigments release.
To avoid this, I instead recommend a toning, which only presses in pigment without creating extra heat!
One might think that the permanent color should last longer, but the fact is that regardless of color or toning, the cold pigments will disappear just as quickly and need to be maintained with a color mask. Therefore, toning is the gentlest option for you 🤍
