Thanks for the Vids, they are awesome! I have a question, how do you know when looking at a client hair and know if the hair will pull red, orange, or whatever when you bleach it?

[favatat]

@DuTube74 The lighter you need to go or the more shades you need to lift, the higher peroxide you should use. Try not to stray more then 3 to 4 shades different from the natural hair color. Darker shades will pull more red and orange. lighter shaded will pull more orange and yellow.

You said if you get the hair light enough, toner is not needed. Does it mean toner can do the lifting? Or toner is just to tone even or down? Please help

@DuTube74 Usually I use toners when I want to get rid of unwanted gold or yellow and some clients don't want gold at all. If you leave bleach on long enough, many times it will lift to a pretty shade one its own. As soon as it looks like the inside of a banana..its good.

@favatat thanks Tammy, and you meant inside of a banana when it's wet? Thanks a bunch!!! :-)

Im trying to get dark drown with thick blonde highlights.. starting from like a honey color right now. How long & what volume would you suggest i use to get the blonde & should i use a toner? & also what volume for the dark brown? thank you!

[favatat]

@shinejenkins I would do the highlights first and use a lower volume peroxide 10-20. Then I would apply the all over color in between and let the whole thing sit for at least 30 minutes...no heat. Hope this helped:)
