Help - Elle Woods (Legally Blonde) beige blonde

[BrazilianColorist]

FIRST OF ALL: I AM SO SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH. I AM FROM BRAZIL. ENGLISH IS NOT MY FRIST LANGUAGE.

Hello everyone! I am very happy to be posting here!

I am colorist, from Brazil. I have 3 years of experience with hair colour!

So... A client of mine asked me a hair that I consider "tricky", since I don't have much experience with beige/golden blonde. In my 3 years as a colorist, I have never had a client asking me for a warm/beige/golden blonde. Here in Brazil, only cool/ash/silvery blondes are popular. I do tons of cool toned blondes everyday.

Also, I asked 2 other colorist friends here in Brazil for help and they did not know how to achieve this color properly.

That said, and due to how seriously I take my job, I decided to make a plan on how to achieve the color.

But, I am kinda insecure, I am concerned that the result get orange or too yellow. So, I decided to ask for help here.

You can see the hair in the video:



The first hair, with the girl brushing through.

Let me begin telling what brands we have here in Brazil. I have access to:

-Wella(Blondor, Koleston, Color Touch and illumina,...)
-L'oreal (Majirel, Dia Richesse, Dia Light, the bleaches,...)
-Alfaparf (Evolution, Supermeches, ...)
-Schwarzkopf (Igora, BlondMe, ...)
-Keune

Don't know if I am wrong, but I can see 3 or 4 shades of blonde in the hair. And they are all kinda beige, golden.

My client has a natural hair, 5 level (light brown).

I put this plan together and would like to know what you think:

(If you have suggestions, please, feel free to say them!)

1- Blondor + 6% (1+2) , lightening up to a yellow (9 level), entire head

2- apply 9.13 + 3% (1+1,5) - 40 minuts - very light ash gold blonde, probably Alfaparf Evolution of the Color
(Richesse also has a 9.13 in the range, what do you think?), entire head

Rinse the 9.13...

3- Alternate foils...

*Igora 9,5-4 + 3% (1+1; 30 minutes) - Igora's -4 is called "beige" and they define it as a "muted gold". And the 9,5 series are toners to be used on light hairs

*Alfaparf Supermeches Ammonia-free bleach + 3% (1+3), leave until the pale yellow is achieved

Rinse the foils...

4- Apply on the entire hair 10.31 +3% (1+2) 20 minutes, probably Alfaparf, Keune also has a 10.31 shade. 10.31 is ultra light golden ash blonde.

or...

Wella illumina 10/38 + color touch developer 1,9% (1+2), 20 minutes, also on the entire head

This last phase would tone the foils that were bleached and would make a "full head glaze", making the color more "uniform".


So, what do you think?

Will the result turn orange or brassy?

Hugs from Brazil!!

Again, I am sorry for my poor english.

Do you strand tests over there? You need to take small test cuttings of the clients hair (tiny sections) and try out your various formulas to see which gives you the best results. Stick the cuttings to a piece of foil using sticky tape at the top. Apply your formulas and check the development times. Wipe off with damp cotton wool.

I know they don't routinely do this in the U.S. But here in Europe, it's common to take small strand cuttings for testing.

This video might be helpful, I would personally would bleach then tone with a beige toner , or if u want different tones bleach it all then tone with a golden toner in foils and a beige toner on the rest

You already know what you are doing Just do like you normally do with your cool ash blondes, but use a demi for more of a golden color instead of ash color. And strand test like Haircutz suggested.

And sorry, I don't work with Wella, so I can't help with their demi.
