The client had always covered gray with dark shades. The designer moves her to a lighter red-free brown and explains why level 8 was chosen.
Key points from the video
- Hair with a dark colour history does not lift exactly as the formula says, so the level is not pushed too high.
- A level-8 brown keeps the base even.
- Up to level 8 the colour is mixed 1:1 with developer; from level 9 up, 1:2.
- The result is the red-free brown the client asked for.
