Nervous about new hair color tomorrow!

[clslvr6spd]

I regrettably change my hair back to blonde, I had a gorgeous ashy blonde, brown & red/brown thing going on. I don't know what I was thinking, I just can't pull of the platinum do with short hair & it's also not the right shade blonde for me! Way to warm. I like cool ashy blonde tones on me, personally.
I have toned my hair with a N, A, & V. Not all at once, but to no avail! I am not willing to bleach out my lowlights again, my hair isn't in the best condition!

So, I am taking the plunge and going dark! I only have formulas with Redken written out. LMK what you guys think!

*5GB with 1AB lowlight/slices

*6WG with 1NW lowlight/slices

*6NW with 1NW lowlight/slices

*5NW with 1NW lowight/slices

Or just straight black!

If I could understand any of that, I would give you my opinion. (Hopefully I will soon because I am going to cosmetology school next month, LOL)
However, I saw pictures of your FOTD and you are beautiful blonde!

I don't know about the formulas at all! But have you checked out some of those virtual makeover sites so you can play with different colours before taking the plunge? That might make it easier to make up your mind.

Well I did it! And I love it! It makes my blue eyes POP! I really love being blonde too, but I have been blonde or some variation of blonde for years!
It's a nice change.

Wow, that's like the total opposite of the hair spectrum!! It looks hot!

Isn't it hard to lift black and revert back to the blonde? At the very least its gotta be rough on your hair, right? just curious as to what that process is like..you gotta have like a super mega deep conditioning treatment im sure!

It looks great, what formula did you end up going with? did you use gels or shades to tint back? i dont notice any lowlights, so did you go all over dark?

Yea, it will be a process. I would have to color remove 1st, to try and strip the black and brown as much as possible. Then start bleaching.
My hair is very resilient, THANK GOD!
But like I said, it would take me 4 months or so to get back to blonde.

She used gels. For the the pre-pig it was a 7RB & a red kicker, a 4NW & a 5GB for the brown. The black was a 1NW. She used a 4NW, because I was so light b4, it will fade to a 5.

The brown is all over w/ black slices on the crown.
The pictures does NOT give the colors justice! It just looks solid black, which sucks, but in the sun the brown looks freaking awesome!
