Hi all
I'm new to this lol. Been reading the posts on the blonde girls hair, in my professional opinion, to acheive this look, i would do a full head foils of bleach and 6%, wella koleston 12/89 and 12% and maybe a lowlight of 8/0 and 6%, then every 6 weeks or so, i would just do a half head or through the parting to brighten it up. If her hairdresser is only tinting the roots, they might just do the highlights every 2nd time, and use the 12/89 or similar high lift tint for the regrowth. But in my opinion, i feel that putting 12% directly onto the scalp would burn and that would explain the flakiness and soreness and could end up going quite brassy, meaning you would have to use a silver toner after it has been washed out. I would recommend you do your roots with foils and just loads and loads of fine highlights, keeping the 8/0 etc to break up the blonde so it doesnt go too light. Just my opinion lol.

Hiya shazkev , never had much time today to read the posts today just quickly glanced through them
but I was just looking over your method again ,
I love 12/89 by wella in foils ,
and I also love using the wella blondor with 6% totally agree both these colour choices are fab in foils ,
Also I think I now see what you mean, eg, the 8/0 and 6% in foils too and (on her natural base) would bring it to a really nice caramel sort of colour? and this would keep the low lighted look within the natural hair ?
In that case and with your method yes I would use foils and 8/0 with 6% as well,
Placing it on her natural hair depths to produce the lowlights within the hair ,
I always think that there comes a point though when highlights become too light at the mid lenghts and ends,
and then that is when I would think about adding a few bits of light gold brown in it woven out in foils and lightly scattered throughout ,
and yes her hair is gorgeouse :hug:
I think it is quite hard sometimes to try and put across what we mean in writing as hairdressers,
as when I do try to explain it in writing it sometimes looks all wrong ,
and I am forever editing LOL :hug: x
anyway enjoy the salon geek ,and happy geeking ,
