Hair Color Question
I have naturally dishwater blonde hair so I've been highlighting it for 10+ years. My stylists have always done a combo of highlights/lowlights which has worked well. Three colors ago, my stylist added some thin carmel strands. I liked it because it still looked natural and just gave my hair some variation. The next time she added more and it was very chunky and I was unhappy with it because it didn't look natural at all. Last time I told her I didn't like the chunkiness of the carmel so she "tried" to do away with it and just highlighted/lowlighted with my regular colors but there is still a decent amount of carmel chunkiness left and I don't like it. What's the best way to go about fixing this? I've never done an all over color and really don't want to but also don't want these chunky pieces anymore. Should we just keep using the normal colors and eventually it will phase out? I go next week so I'm trying to get a game plan.
Thanks!
Re: Hair Color Question
Hm I feel like if you just keep doing the normal highlight/lowlight, it'll eventually cover up the chunkiness. I know whenever I've tried to do highlights for a bit, I have to do an all over color every once in awhile because the highlights start taking over and there are more highlights than normal color hair. So if your stylist is switching up the hair that she's highlighting/lowlighting each time, I would think she would get some of the carmel hair as well.
One option you could do is ask her to color the hair that she's not highlighting or lowlighting to a color that's close to your natural color. Then when it starts to fade, it's not obvious and it will blend into your natural hair that is growing in. I would think this would take care of the chunkiness. It'll be a bit more expensive though.
