Hi all. I,m changing over to Matrix from Wella. What would be a nice mix for a warm chocolate brown level 5/6. I'm finding a little bit of root glow with the colours, so I want to avoid this. ( I hope Bluerinse is around)

Root glow? What vol u using for depositing? I use 5mg for chocolate.
 
HI Bluerinse, I used 6% yesterday with a dreamage 6br on level 5 natural base with 60% grey and got root glow. Should I have mixed a base? 6n. But apart from that I would like a good mix for chocolate brown. I've seen in the manual they recommend 1 part 5m and one part 6g . I'd love your opinion x

Use 10vol your only lifting 1 level
 
I thought you could only use 20 vol with dream age? Can you also use 10vol? x

Ahh whoops sorry my mistake, I didn't see dream age, just 6br no dream age is only 20vol x

That's was before they created the MG range :) its great for chocolate brown :) x
 
thankyou, I'll try that for the chocolate brown. Any answer on how to prevent the root glow? x
 
Is 5mg ok to put straight over blonde highlights? 😃 xxx

How long was it on for? I've never had root glow with matrix, danni I've not tried it yet but I use sync for covering high lights c
 
on for 35 mins. Perhaps the base was too light.I might drop a shade x

Bluerinse my client wanted 5m on all over I've only just started using matrix and not got any colour sync yet but do they do 5m in colour sync I know you said go a shade lighter in colour sync, and also if I choose the shade lighter 6m is that ok to put straight over highlights? Xxx

I remember on another post but I can't find it anywhere that you told me to mix another colour in with 5m to stop it coing a dodgy colour but can't remember what you said. Xxx

Use a W or Wn in with if it's socolor with sync you should be ok, I've never had any problems but if your just starting out maybe mix it in :) x
