Help with Majicontrast

[Lauren21]

My client tomorrow has currently home coloured her hair, roots around a 5/75 and mid lengths, ends a level 5. She is wanting to go to a level 3 with slices of red. Was going to use Majicontrast Magenta red. Will this work on artificial colour or would I have to prelighten to a orange/yellow first. Also if I prelightened and the red fades quickly I am worried what colour she will be left with? Thanks for any help in advance

Hiya, no need to pre lighten, majicontrast is designed for use on dark hair both natural and coloured! So you will be fine putting it straight into foils on top of the old colour. You will get a nice vibrant result off a base 5! xXx

Thanks for your reply. I did phone LOreal help line and they said it would not show on coloured hair which did confuse me as I did think it was designed for coloured hair! I am going to do a test piece tonight. Do you think 6% would be ok?

How strange they would say that, all the instructing say for coloured hair too! Ive done it with coloured hair plenty of times and its turned out lovely, yeah i think 6% will be fine, but if your doing a test piece do one with 9% aswel just to see which gives best result xXx

I had slices of the magenta red majicontrast colour in my hair and applied it to coloured hair! I am a base of 6 and it worked really well. Doesn't fade too much either, when it does it possibly looks a little pinkish.
If you want it to be extra vibrant then you could bleach first but works fine without the need to prelighten! xx

Just nice to get some reassurance from you as I really dont want to bleach the hair first cos of the condition and the fading. Many thanks for your replies
