Now can I use an additional product to get the roots to hold the color. I once bought a product that was for 'Professionals only' and got scared and didnt' use it.<br />How in the heck do I get the color to hold especially at the temples so I'm not touching up every week???<br /><br />The simpler the answer the better for me!

Within the company WELLA, they have many completely separate Lines of Color, there are the 2 lines they have in Sallys - Color Charm permanent and Color Charm Demi Permanent....<BR/>Then you move up the ladder to the next line which you cannot get at Sally's but must get at a wholesale outlet called COLOR PERFECT - their medium priced line.<BR/> Then There is the Line called Koleston Perfect - the Permanent Line that is supposedly the TOP-OF-LINE and Color Touch their top-of-the-line Demi Permanent color.<BR/><BR/>I would purchase a Level 12 Ash + 40 Volume and run a test strip. Many other factors affect whether or not this combo will work for you, that I cannot take into account because I cannot see nor feel your hair. Things like porosity, texture, condition...all effect hair color...so the best way to know is to take a 1/2 inch strip of your hair underneath and run a test strip, making sure to process fully.<BR/>HTH<BR/>KCKiller Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891634992031900219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-80488137002948420772008-03-10T19:51:00.000-07:002008-03-10T19:51:00.000-07:00hi dakota! yes my hair is virgin lv2 black-brownhm...hi dakota! <BR/>yes my hair is virgin lv2 black-brown<BR/>hmmm would the professional colors you use include wella?

The results were... were SEXY!! :D Turns out, I used a level 3N instead of a 2N. The box was in the wrong spot! :O And like a dummy I didn't double check. I really love how it turned out regardless. 3N is practically the same color as my level 1 virgin hair. But I don't know though... I haven't seen it in sunlight or fluorescent lighting yet.<BR/><BR/>I definately want to try a lighter shade sometime as well. I REALLY like the 6W 6/7 (dark sand) a really really dark brown chocolate. What would be your best suggestions on gettin around to that? Would I have to bleach my hair first? I have no idea what volume of peroxide the "activating lotion" for the wella color charm demi-permanent is. On the color tube it says "Must be mixed with color charm activating lotion," but is it ok to use a wella color charm demi-permanent color with a wella 20 volume developer? Would you happen to know what a 6W 6/7 demi-permanent haircolor plus 20 volume peroxide do to my hair? Good idea, bad idea? Any change?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all of your help!!
