ADVICE FROM PRO HAIRDRESSER REQUIRED

[TrudyTrudy]

As my hairdresser is on maternity leave I am being looked after by another stylist in the same salon.

She's very nice, however when she was doing my highlights she took one look at the highlight mix (Majimeche by Loreal with 6%) and instructed the junior to 'squirt more developer' into the mix! I was a little surprised by this as my usual hairdresser has always insisted that she prepare her own shades/highlight mix as the measurements are so important.

When the mix came back she said she was happier as she doesn't like it too creamy and this runnier mix would be easier to apply to the hair. I was to shy to question this as she is the expert.

My highlights look the same shade, although I am concerned about the condition of my hair more than anything and as I have been placed with her until my hairdresser returns (she's not back until October!) I am getter worried that over this time period the extra developer is going to ruin my hair. Am I foolish to be so concerned?

Runny mix is more likely to bleed than a thicker (creamy) mix, especially in foils. You could end up with blotched roots with the runny mix.

Hair condition is the same whichever the mix but processed hair does need conditioning.

yep-maybe ur hairdresser is less confident than this one which is why she wants it exact measurements, but if u are worried just ask her will more developer damage ur locks?answer is no, as whatever the strength any damage done to hair is the same. shes not leaving it on any longer as ur hair is still the same shade. you dont need to keep rebleaching or re colouring alredy coloured hair-u need only do ur roots. condition well and dont over brush.
