Deeper tones
by: Michelle

Hi Myra,

Because the grey becomes more concentrated as time passes, it becomes necessary to add some deeper tones to your haircolor to prevent the washed out look.

Use the same strawberry blonde color and also buy a light golden brown shade. Mix the two together (start with 2 parts strawberry, 1 part golden brown) and apply.

This will keep your color close to the same tone while adding a bit more depth.

If you find the results too brown, try the same thing but replace the golden brown with a copper color. Go easy on the copper though as it will contain some very strong red pigments (try 1 part copper to 3 parts strawberry).

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Michelle
