Hi all, I've been a lurker on this forum for a long time, such an amazing resource!
I have a bit of a burning question for you all and would love your expert advice.
I used to be a platinum blonde and coloured my own hair for years.
The toner I always used was L'oreal Luocolour in PO1, which worked perfectly to give me that platinum silvery look.
My question:
I have recently had my hair slightly toned down by adding in a few subtle lowlights in my natural light brown colour, so that now when it comes to doing my roots, the roots are only highlighted rather than every single hair being bleached, giving a more natural look (and saving my hair!)
I'm finding that although my hair is still blonde, I'm not getting that silvery, platinum look I love so much at the hairdresser (it looks far too golden, which doesn't suit me!) and so I would like to take matters into my own hands and put some Luocolour PO1 on it, but I'm worried about what this will do to the brown in my hair, both the stuff that's been dyed brown (that used to be platinum) and the natural brown sections near the roots.
The last thing I want to do is turn the brown bits ginger or something, not a good look!
Can anyone let me know whether it's ok to use PO1 over all my hair/what the effect might be on the brown? I will do a strand test but I'd love to hear your insights.
A hairdresser did actually use this all over my hair once and the result was great, but I don't know what volume releaser she used - I'm worried that the 25 volume will be too strong.
Sorry for the loooong message! I really appreciate you guys reading this far!
