Light copper blonde with Koleston

[Tejja]

Hello,
I have a lot of questions about Koleston, maybe someone could help me.
My natural hair are something about 6.0 color. I was dyeing them with dyes from stores with numbers 9 or 10. Few months ago I got a 7 base with John Frieda. Recently I decided to try again to get my dream light copper colour. I bought 10.04 and 9% Weloxon (1:1). My 7 base of John Frieda was already washed out from ends and roots was dark. With dyes from store I would got a light color, but with Koleston I stayed dark blonde. After 3 washes color washed out to a bit lighter. In conclusion, I was left with too dark hair and little shade of copper...

So, I don't know what to do next. I have an idea to color with John Frieda 9 and become lihgt blonde (or is it better to try one more time with Wella?). After a month buy Koleston 10.03 and special mix 00/43, because I want more bright copper shade. For the roots I already have 9% Weloxon. But what I should do with ends? Buy 6%, or Pastel? With which developer color will stay longer?

And, if I color my roots with 9% Weloxon and ends with Pastel, can I do it at the same time, that is to say, if developers will touch (mixes) each other, that's ok?
Is the way to get a result without bleaching hair? What other mixes you could suggest to get this colour?

Hi are you a hairdresser as it doesn't say so on your profile

If anyone couldn't answer to my situation, so I chose the most important questions of all story. Maybe you could help with it...
• Could I mix Pastel with Welloxon?
• When I was dyeing first time, I used 9% Welloxon on all hair. Next time should I buy Pastel or 6% for better colour keeping and lifting to a bit lighter?

I am interested in mixing Pastel with Welloxon because in other professional dyes it is possible to mix developers and get what you need. For example 1/2 of 9% + 1/2 of 3% I would get 6%. So, how is it with Wella?

If your not a hair professional or training to be one you won't get answers to your questions. These are potentially dangerous chemicals designed for use by people who know what they are doing.

That's why I am searching for information and trying to get some knowledge. With or without help I still use professional hair dyes. All internet is full of warnings how bad for hair are store (box) dyes. There are stores where people like me can buy professional dyes. And when we do it, you say that it is dangerous. I think, more dangerous is dye after which I could become blonde on previous dark color and deny term "tint doesn't lift tint".
When I was using other professional dyes, I didn't have such problems with secrets about "dangerous chemicals", I just got some advices from people, who understands about it...

Sorry no professional will tell you how to DIY your own hair.

Firstly Tejja, welcome to the site.

Unfortunately, and as has been explained by some of our hair professionals already, it is not permitted for them to provide detailed technical advice or information, particularly when it comes to home attempts at colouring, especially to those who are unqualified.

It is far better advice to recommend that you either attend a local college where trainees can help you under supervision, or that you have a personal consultation with a hair professional close to where you live.

I shall close this thread here, but would ask you to bear the above suggestions in mind please.
