I have a dog who is ailing and all our extra money has to go to her so before anyone says, "go to a salon"... just know, I won't.
Ok, did a high lift back in October and it pulled orange/gold--Ion. I didn't know anything about levels back then. I have been covering up roots and orange with a level 8 demi from clairol. I wanted to go blonde again.
I went to a salon and pait 70 bucks and hated with they did.. They lifted the yellow just a tiny bit after I said, "no yellow" and it ended up looking frosted and really trashy-almost burned. I went to another salon and paid 150. She did a full foil and lifted it to much more--a little yellow that the shimmer lights help with. Eventually, she was going to help me get my hair an all-over color that I can maintain myself. She left the underside natural. I have been told my natural is a level 5 or 6, depending on who you ask.
Ok, so now my roots are growing out and it looks terrible. I have a 1,000 vet bill. I can't go back for awhile. I am thinking of touching up the roots with Born Blonde Ultra Blue first and then applying some type of color on top to bring myself to a level 8 or so blonde. I want to be a medium to light blonde. Now I am pretty light, but not quite white. I have naturally light eyebrows so I don't want to go darker. I used sun-in for years and years before this and it worked nicely.
I like the way my hair feels with a demi, but the salon warned my hair may just grab up the base color and turn green or ash.. whatever. Ion told me to put on a 8 gold permanent (to add warmth) and then a 8 A over it and on the roots. Too complicated for me.
Any advice?
