The color chart on the box never says what shade redheads will turn! Will my hair lighten or not? Will it turn blonde?


Answer
Get an ash blonde as green counteracts red tones

How to get an ash brown hair color without bleaching?




Kate


Whenever I dye my hair lighter, it turns out an orangey red brown.
Even using an ash dye, it still turns out brassy.
Thanks!



Answer
I recommend doing highlights with ash as it can look green without some variation. You will also need to bleach your hair and tone it all over first to get the brown and red out of your hair, and to try and get it the same colour/tone all over. I would dye it ash all over, see how it looks, and consider highlights as a separate process a few weeks later if you find the ash blonde looks a little lifeless.

1) Sort out a bleach and developer first. The brand Kaleidoscope has bleaches with toners built right in so you can tone your hair to a neutral colour before you start messing with ash (use a blue toner to get rid of red). You may need to bleach and tone separately, but I heard good things about Kaleidoscope when I was working at Sallys. As for developer, it sounds like a 20 or 30 will get you to the level you want, but check with the associates or the packaging on the bleach to be sure (without seeing your hair I can't tell).

2) Pick your colour and developer. I would use Ion as they tend to have better control over the undertones in their ash products (using Wella, for example, is basically like dyeing your hair green). Any brand of developer will do and Ion has a little chart attached to the display that will help you figure out whether you need a 20, 30 or 40 volume.* The sensitive scalp stuff (purple bottle) is quite nice especially as bleaching can be irritating enough.

3) Get a protein treatment. Bleach kills your hair and you'll want to rebuild it unless you want to look like your hair has been fried. Ion Effective Care Treatment is like magic for your hair. Use it right after you bleach and again after you've dyed it and then continue to use it twice a week for a month or two. After that, scale it back to once a week.

* You want to make this decision based on how light you think your hair will be after you bleach it. Example; if you want to go from a level 4 to 6 you will probably need a 20, but a 4 to an 8 might require a 30. If you bleach your hair and it comes out a level 6-8 you will probably only want a 20-volume developer.

If you can find an associate who is has their hairdressing license, double check all of this information with them as the current colour of your hair and your desired level of lightening are hard for me to judge without seeing you.
