Before I even start, if there is already a thread for this I couldn't find one that would pertain to my situation, so forgive me. Also, I wasn't sure if I should be putting it within this forum or the Conventional Products forum, since it kind of overlaps a bit, so if it needs to be moved then that's fine. Sorry in advance haha.
Ok, so I need some hair coloring advice :)
I had used a semi permanent medium auburn shade on the back of my hair almost 2 1/2 months ago. The front is still a very light blonde shade that I rarely change, so the rest of my hair [3/4 I guess] is now a quite faded, light coppery tone. It looks almost like a very light brown with a copper tint, or a very dark blonde with a copper tint. I don't have any good pictures for reference.
My natural color is a medium/dark ashy blonde, something I'm trying to get back to, or at least close enough anyway. I know ash shades & the undertones within them will cancel out the red tone, but since I did want to pull some through my bangs [& also did not want the color to run -too- dark, as I bought a Dark Ash Blonde shade], I was wondering if it was ok to mix the Dark Ash Blonde with a Medium Natural Blonde. That way it would still have some of the ash undertone, but wouldn't pull too greenish on the ends for my lighter shade, but would still have enough to cancel out some of the red. And, also, that the medium may help it from going too dark. I was thinking a ratio of 50:50, then the developer, would work out.
I know mixing chemicals isn't the best idea, but as they are from the same brand [Revlon Colorsilk], I assumed it was alright. Various people have mixed them before & gotten good results, but I just love to get as many opinions as I can. I know that the dye is ammonia free as well, & it doesn't do the best job of lifting, but that's fine. It'll fade in a few days so as long as it isn't going to pull super dark I'm fine. Anyway, any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated! :)
