I don't know how they can eat that stuff.

Between the student's language issues and my lack of familiarity with the coloring process I felt like I was at the auto mechanics or something (a place where I have no clue what is going on). I've gotten some compliments on the color and like it for now but I will have to see how it looks as roots grow out. The price can't be beat ($35 for partial highlights and cut) so I think I will give them another chance but ask for another student--and make sure we are on the same page before anything goes on my hair! I would have loved those white stripes in my hair when I was 15, but at 41, not so much :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509617131884323771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-5110984473297380632013-01-03T12:32:47.789-07:002013-01-03T12:32:47.789-07:00Thank you :)

It is used to add back colour and tone to the hair after it is lifted lighter with bleach and or peroxide. <br /><br />Single process colour contains a high volume peroxide and the toning pigments in one, it goes on the hair, the peroxide lifts and strips out the natural pigment then the new colour or tone is deposited. In a double process, the hair is first lightened, then the toner is applied. <br /><br />I have nothing against student stylists but honestly, I wouldn't trust them with my colour. Until you have had a ton of experience, complex colour jobs can go horribly wrong, horribly fast. I consider highlights to be a complex colour job. <br /><br />It is normal for your overall colour to be a little lighter, if the peroxide used to tone your highlights had a high volume peroxide. The whole head is toned, so peroxide gets all over your hair. <br /><br />If your highlights were lifted to a very light or even near colourless point, high volume peroxide isn't necessary when it is time to tone. Ask your stylist to mix the toner with the lowest volume peroxide she (he) has on hand. That will minimize the lightening of the rest of your hair. <br /><br />Hope this helps. :)Ice Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044595481713357711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-3087788965140957362013-01-03T11:43:19.035-07:002013-01-03T11:43:19.035-07:00So glad you are blogging again! I have a question ...So glad you are blogging again! I have a question about hair color as I am venturing back into the world of coloring my hair again. What does "tone" mean? And how often do you ideally get roots touch ups? Last week I went to our local beauty school to have blond highlights put in my dishwater light brown (and greying) hair after not coloring for over 10 years. My student and I had a language barrier and she ended up using just straight bleach (no mixed in color) so I ended up with white stripes in my hair. As I was starting to freak out the teacher bustled over and said "let's tone that" and then they applied more stuff over my whole head. Now my entire head is lighter, so I'm wondering if the "tone" stuff contained peroxide as well. Anyway, just felt like sharing a hair story I guess. Hope you're feeling better!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509617131884323771noreply@blogger.com
