How do I get roots same colour of blonde as rest of hair - question fro Marg_Harborne?

Hi Marg,

Further to your answer the other day whereby you recommended me using a neutral blonde shade in level 9 of Goldwell Topchic and attached a hyperlink to EBAy for it (in 9N Very Light Blonde) and said I should mix it with 20 vol developer (peroxide) in a 50/50 mix for 20 mins and it would give me a nice blonde shade, should I use a hair colour remover before doing this? If so, I am having problems finding schwarzkopf igora phantom colour remover on the internet. Do you know where I can get it from? I live in England. Also, when you suggest 20 minutes for the mixing of the peroxide and goldwell topchic, is this 20mins to be left on my hair to develop, or 20 minutes to be mixed? Sorry if I sound stupid, I just want to make sure I get it right. Will very light blonde goldwell topchic with peroxide not come out too light? I currently have dyed golden blonde hair (dyed with a semi-permanent dye, but the roots look darker and I have naturally red hair).

if you can shop on e-bay then get Goldwell colour remover as it is easier to get hold of than Schwarzkopf igora phantom (both are professional colour removers) here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLDWELL-colour-ti... when i say a 50/50 mix of colour and 20vol peroxide for 20 mins i mean apply to the hair all-over and once saturated then leave to process for 20 mins (in your case you don't need to do the roots seperately as YES the heat from your scalp does accelerate the lightening process at the roots but because your hair is darker at the roots then it will even it out to 20 mins for even all over colour) p.s. considering you previously used a lightening colour on your hair then you won't need to use a colour remover as colour removers are used on deposting colours (dark colours) anything that is intended as a lightener (blonde colour or bleach) strips out the natural colour and therefore CANNOT be removed as you cannot remove what has already been removed.

hair dressers never go right to the root and that really bugs me because you always get that dark bit! what i do is i use the home kits and put some of it at the very root of my hair and leave it for 10 mins or about a third of the time its allows and then cover the rest of your hair and leave until the times up. that works for me i hope it helps! :)
