Resistant grey hair!

[scouser88]

Im finding more and more greys are not responding to colour!! Even a level 4.0 iv tried adding heat and doubling the times but still not 100% coverage. Anyone got any suggestions? (i use wella koleston)

Have you tried the double naturals? They are for resistant grey.
44/0, 55/0 etc

Have you tried pre softening the grey hair before tint application? Also after pre softening try using a shade darker than your target shade, and make sure you leave it in for the full 45mins, I'd also use the double numbers when covering grey

Try matrix extra coverage or even dream age, resistant grey was one reason I moved away from wella, all those moons ago and pre softening I'd just another added expense that very few people charge for x

I have to say I've not been at all impressed with grey coverage with Koleston lately, I so wish they stocked Matrix at my local Aston & fincher

my mum has very stubborn grey hair and when i was at college we trained with wella, the lecturer told me that i would have to pre soften the hair but i still didnt get 100% coverage - shes a 5
i use rusk on her now and the coverage is amazing

Definately switch to matrix!!! They have the 50 range for natural blending colours or dreamage which is a fab!!! My mum has 100% White hair and wanted it reddy so I put dreamage 6rb and 6% straight on 40 mins!!!! 1 colour, 1 happy mum to he'll with all those ratios now with this miracle fool proof product!!! Xxx

I use l'oreal supreme and find it covers better than wella.

i use igora and have never had a problem with covering grey, apart from a new client recently, she has a few grey round her hairline and they did not cover with neat tint or pre softening or with double base, her last stylist pulled them out..

so last visit i pre softened then neat tint then double bast tint.. thank god it is only round her hairline but it worked... some grey are just so suborn

good luck

Hi i have resistant hair myself which is v annoying as a professional, i currently use wella, im a base 6 which i like warm but it doesnt suit me too dark and 66/0 doesnt cover. Any suggestions for a nice matrix color of that depth?😃

A clarifying shampoo to strip any build up out first and a softening treatment with moisture works for me x

Thank u for all your replys, i will give pre softening a go see how it goes before i starts asking my boss to buy other makes!! Haha

You can fully cover pure white with dream age matrix up to base 9!!

i use xp 100 and the 00 range is great for grey resistant coverage.

Not being funny but what are you doing for dream age not to cover? X

 

[lee7smith]

What is up with Loreal colours not covering - they should be top of the game at making a 100% coverage colour even for resistant hair !! ( little rant )

 

[Natm]

Blue, i dont know, i use the matrix developer, i measure abd i leave for 45 mins like everyone said and its nt covered at all!! I feel my client is losing confidence in me! I felt loreal civered better bt i wanna stick with matrix! Im gna pre soften x
