Hi John! I have a client with fine, natural level 7 hair with brassy level 6 salon color midshaft to ends. She wants to go back to her natural with blonde foils. I have been foiling her Using silklift strong -10vol at the root & 20vol on the midshaft ends. I then reapplied to the ends with fresh silk lift strong and 20vol 30 mins after the first application. I waited another 20 mins then rinsed. At this point a toner isn’t the results I was looking for. The foiled ends are still brassy. What do I do? Ali
Tricky! You do need to get the red brass out, since no toner will "squash" it. I would try to use a System Color remover under heat, followed by a blonding cream and 40 vol formula to reduce the pigment. I would not try another decolorizer, until this is reduced. This should clean up your canvas and allow you to tone to the shade you need.
Let me know your results. Hit me up any time!
