Hi ive not posted on here for a really long time as i no longer work as a hairdresser but im in desperate need of some advice for my own hair pleassse! Ive been full head bleach for years and wanted to warm my hair up to something more natural. I used 8/73 will 1/4 8/43 a formula on the wella site and it grabbed to really red. I foiled a few areas out the front with 1.9 bleqch and it lifted out a lot i then toned them with 8/38 and used to 8/73 alone on the rest. The mid length to ends are a really nice colour but the roots look really red. What can i use to tone them down without it all going ashy or to dark? Tia xx

Colour touch 7/1
 
You must level match the red areas with same level or darker to fully neutralize the unwanted warmth so you want to use a green based target color.

If you are seeing red then it will indicate a lv.6 or darker. Lv.7 raw= dark gold/yellow is the first level without any red pigment in the hair.

If the warmth is more of a orange color, blue based color will be needed to neutralize as orange/copper/ strawberry tones are lesser in red pigment.
