Dear colour geniuses!
I'm having a LOT of trouble trying to match my natural ash/matt brown hair colour to cover greys. I'm using Majirel because I can't find a semi-permanent in ash/matt here. Ideally, I'm looking for a green matt/ash colour in level 6.
So at the moment I'm using Majirel 6.1 with 20 volume, which looks OK for the first week. 5.1 goes way too dark on my hair, so I have to use 6.1 even though I'm targeting 5.1. The problem is that after a week it starts to turn warm (something close to 5.35) even though I'm using Vitamino shampoo and conditioner!!
Now, I know the colour isn't washing out, because my greys are still covered very well, except for them being warm instead of matt/ash. I'm so confused. I think the Majirel bases are too red for me and I need to try another brand. We can't get 5.07, 5.77 or 6.07 here, so the only option in Majirel would be to add green mix to 6.1 or 6.
Another possibility I thought of was that 20-volume is too strong for me and I should be using 10-volume, but Majirel doesn't have 10-volume developer. So I was thinking about switching to Igora Royal 6-1 or 6-0 with green mix and using 10-volume developer.
I've tried a few times already at two different salons (both Inoa) but neither could help, even though I've explained which colours and levels I've used in the past.
Are there any others which have a nice green ash in level 6?
Help!
