Hi,
I have build-up of colour, golden blonde now turned yellow. I was wondering about stripping the colour and starting again.
I am 53 years of age, my roots are grey so it doesn't take long before they show. I was thinking of going more ash/not gold or warm blonde. What do you advise?
Thank you,
Heather, Blantyre
If I was in your position I think I would do the same. Visit a colourist and have a thorough consultation with them, they will be able to tell you as to whether it is a good idea by looking at your colouring, lifestyle, jewellery you wear and also how much you are prepared for upkeep.
If it was me doing it, I would remove the yellow colour that has built up over time by cleansing it from the hair with a colour remover and I would try to get it as light as possible. Then I would go in and colour it with an ashen tone of blonde.
I prefer cool colours on grey hair and also it has a much more forgiving regrowth when it does come through.
I have a cool (pun intended) tip for you and that is when you have gotten the colour you love and it is in the ash end of the blonde spectrum, use a silver/violet shampoo once or twice a week to maintain your tone and keep it looking fresh.
