Help with copper formula

[LeeRodgers]

For my own hair and not a client!

I found a singer on youtube while i was helping my cousin with coursework and fell in love with her copper!

i'm naturally a level 6/7 (back is a 6 while the front and sides are a level 7 around the face frame). coloured with inoa 7.43 w/20vol. It appers a little too red and dark compared to the photo, so i know i will have to do a gentle cleanse to allow for more brightness, but i don't know what formula to use to achieve the colour in the photos.

maybe 7.44 + 8.34? equal parts? any help would be great... it's like i go colour blind when it comes to my own hair!

I have never seen framesi colours! Do you know where i can find a swatch?

i've tried colorissimo HLC on a client and found it still a little too red, not enough of the orange copper!

Aston and fincher are the only retailers I know of. With colorissimo you could add the gold Highlift tint to the HLC and use 40 vol. The other thing that might be worth considering is bleaching it up and then using a semi permanent?

Trying my best to stay away from using bleaches on my own hair! I had surgery last year and i've not wanted to put anything too harsh on my scalp (the reason for using Inoa). So i might try the HLC by colorissimo, maybe do a few slices of it around my parting, face frame and see how it looks before doing a full head.

Wish i had more copper clients through the years so i could have some idea of what colour to use to achieve the photos!

my partner suggested something like an 8.34 then through on 400 revlon colour ball

I would say it's definitely a base 8, but not sure what 8.34 would be like, every brand is different :/ I've never used the revlon colour bombs, do you have emuch experience with them?

8.34 - level 8 gold copper in loreal

I’ve used them a few times! I always use the purple shade on my partner 200, and my mum loves using 931 light beige. It’s a great top up to her colour! They smell great too!

Had a thought that I could use majicontrast in copper too... trying not to be too orange, especially with Halloween only around the corner

If 8.34 is how I would imagine an 8.34 to be then I think this will be an ideal colour, I would use it with a higher developer than 6% though, just to be sure that you're not left with orange hair. If you use a higher developer it will distort the tone and create a slightly lighter and brighter result exposing more gold than copper then.
