So it's been a LONG time since I've posted anything! I started a new job in November so have been working flat out, but nevertheless I haven't forgotten about this page!
My story begins a few weeks ago, when I felt like I wanted to try out some new toners since the only one I stick with has been Wella Koleston Perfect in 10/8. It seems to be the only one that gives me a streamlined colour, with no signs of demarcation when having bleached my roots. You may be thinking, well why change it if it works for you? I think it stems somewhat from getting bored extremely easily when it comes to colouring my hair, plus having more of a variety in what toners I can use seemed like a good idea.
Not wanting to stray too much from the path, I came across Wella Illumina Colour. I ended up going for 9/60 : Very Light Violet Natural Blonde as I wanted to try going a shade darker (which I know is quite a difficult feat to achieve at home!) I bleached my roots as normal, and then mixed the toner with Wella Welloxon Pastel in a 2:1 ratio, and applied. At the time the mixture was VERY purple, I did panic slightly but thought it would just wash out once the application time had passed.. oh how wrong I was! I really don't know what happened, but it had turned all my hair purple APART from my roots :( After a quick bleach bath the colour did disappear, and I had to bung on half a tube of Wella Koleston 10/96 that I had lying around to tone it down.
So moral of the story is.. stick to what you know!
