I've bleached my hair a honey blonde for about 30 years, but because of various issues am now forced to choose between coloring my hair or keeping the length. I choose length. (at least for now)
My natural color is blackish/brown with side streaks of white and salt and pepper on the top but not in the back. I actually WANT to keep and accentuate the white and grey (I'm an old hippie but adore the anime look) but the demarcation lines between my natural color and the blonde is well.... sucky. (is that a word?)
My niece is a hairdresser and has offered to low light the blonde. (I adore my niece!!!!) However, she lives 500 miles away and will be doing this for her ever grateful Aunt when she comes for a visit later this month.
I was wondering - has anyone here ever darkened their hair with a low lighting technique? If so what issues did it cause or not cause? Any questions I should ask my niece before this excursion? Or should her Aunt be silently grateful for any and all help?
Happy 4th to all U.S. residents and a general Hi to everyone else :)
