Comments on: Hair color 911…continued! http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2008/08/05/hair-color-911continued/ Blogs from Rachael Ray and her friends Mon, 21 May 2012 07:36:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Johanna Stella http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2008/08/05/hair-color-911continued/#comment-11440 Johanna Stella Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:28:39 +0000 http://blog.rachaelray.com/index.php/2008/08/05/hair-color-911continued/#comment-11440 Hi Val, It's tricky to go from platinum to brunette. It really needs a professinal who specializes in corrective work. When hair is platinum it usually is so porous that it either gets too dark, as in your case, or won't hold on to the color for long. I would "fill" the hair first, before coloring the ends. Brunettes have both gold and red pigment in the hair, so in order to go back to brunette both shades need to be added before the color will appear natural. This has to be done in stages: 1st fill, then color the shaft. You must go to a good salon to have your hair corrected. Also, remember that corrective color is a step in the right direction. To bring the color to your desired result will take several visits to the salon. The other option is to cut your hair short, it will be alot easier to fix. Good Luck! As far as Rachael's hair is concerned, She goes to a great salon for her color, Cutler, New York! Johanna Stella Colorist Cutler Salon, Miami Hi Val,

So, I’ll answer both situations: If you want to go back to your natural color before gray appeared: It sound like you could use a semi-permanent color, like Nice’n Easy Loving Care by Clairol. I’d use a medium golden blonde. This will cover the gray translucently, while warming up the tone. It fades gently and it’s easy to use. Or…you could get some subtle highlights to blend the gray. That’s best done by a professional, and only needs to be done every 2 to 3 months. SECRET: If you can’t afford to go to a good salon, call one near you and ask if they need hair color models for their staff training. You can get the service for a fraction of the price. If you want to stop coloring your hair: Growing out hair is not easy. The best way is to go without coloring for several months and then keep cutting it until the color is out. This will take 6 months to a year. The shorter the hair, the quicker the process. You could blend the gray with lowlights to help it along, but in the end, the color has to be cut out. If you’re concerned that having gray hair will age you, choose an edgy haircut and make that the focus of your look! -Rodney Hi Nette,

Here are some tips to help you find better coverage. When choosing a hair color: Use a natural warm shade like a golden brown. Don’t go for the ash shades because ash doesn’t cover gray very well. You need some warmth in the formulation for good gray coverage. The more gray you have, the more warmth you need. If your ends are darker than the roots, don’t keep putting color on them. Color on color just makes hair darker. Wait to put color on them until the root color is the same or slightly darker than the shaft (ends). If the ends are too warm, you may want to buy an ash tone for the ends only. When it’s time to color the hair shaft (ends), add a little shampoo to the formula before putting on the color all over. It dilutes it and helps in distributing it evenly. Work it like a shampoo and leave it in for only 5 to 10 minutes at most. -Rodney Hi Ruby:
