Hi Niki down south we call it bumping the base...level 5 thru 10 you can use 9 or 10 a, b, v, etc.. after hilights are done take her back one shampoo apply what ever formula you choose start in the back (back of the hair is darker) roots only work your way up to front time 5. Mins shampoo, condition.
Basically your just moving it just a 1/2 of a level. Softening the roots.can can do it to dark hair too. Ash is what I use on levels below 5. 5mins only.I hope that makes sense to you. Good luck to you.

Niki,

That sounds like a great formula. I have not tried that smudging technique. Let's see who has some fun formulas for you... Anyone?

Comment by Niki Tennessen on Monday

I like to smudge the roots of my highlighted ladies. Being new to Aveda color it was fun experimenting with my coworker. She suggested 40g 9n, 4g bb, and 40g 20vol on nat lvl 6. Processed for 10-15 mins. It diminishes the dark root line , beiges it out, and melts into the high lift blonde beautifully. Saving time inbetween foiling. Does anyone else do this with their blondes? If so what formulas do you find work better for you?

Chelsea,

I would think the DOCT + FSP pure tones are more gentle to the hair.

Use the Liquid Activator.

Hilarious, I thought that was funny! thank you for your feedback.

Question - what would be gentler on the hair and most comparable to a competitive colour line demi, no ammonia, providing 50%+ grey coverage. FSP with no NN or DOCT with NN. What is gentler on the hair?

thank you again, Chelsea

Chelsea,

I am so sorry! I totally addressed you by your last name in the last post! we are in hair color Boot Camp.

Chisholm,

Deposit Only Color Treatment was created for "grey blending" not "grey coverage". This category does not have ammonia, neither do their pure tones.

All the other categories, Full Spectrum™ Permanent, Full Spectrum™ Deep, & Pastel Blonde Series all have ammonia... Pure tones for these categories have ammonia in them as well.

If you use these permanent pure tones in the deposit only color treatment category you are making a permanent color.

Using the other categories pure tones will be more vibrant when using them in Deposit Only Color Treatment compared to using the Deposit Only Color Treatment pure tones because they will appear brighter.

I do not think it is wrong if the end result is what your guest wants.

If I am trying to get more grey blending than what DOCT offers, I do FSP without NN...It give me a blending effect.

I do not believe in wrong... As long as no one is bleeding or crying...

Hi Lupe,

I was hoping to get your advice on intermixing the FS permanent line’s pastels, pure pigments, and NN with the Full Spectrum deposit-only line.

Do you recommend adding NN to your deposit-only formula to get additional grey blending with deposit-only?

Do you recommend adding a pure tone to your deposit-only formula to get additional vibrancy with deposit-only?

Thank you Chelsea
