Thank you very much I didn't knew that I could lighten 3 tone with pure natural and 12%. Don't worry in my picture I have a weave. I'm gonna mix 11/0 and 10/00 for gray coverage
Hello, thanks for the video, very helpful and very well explained! I have a question: can u mix 0.88 with say 10.16 + 1,9% developer as toner against yellow reddish in a bleached blond hair?
Hi Anya, Of course you can mix 0/88 with 10.16 to make the shade cooler, but be very careful how much 0/88 you add, because 0/88 is a very intense blue. First try adding 1 cm (or 1 gram) of 0/88 to 1 tub( 60 gram) of 10.16. And try it on a small section of hair to see if the proportion is good or if you need to add more 0/88 or more 10.16
Hi I use 6/1 koleston wella.. Pls recommend how to make this colour ashy? My roots still look very warm. Can I mix 0/11? If so, how? Please advice - thanks
Excellent video! Could you please tell me if I want to mix 10.16 and 12.96 with 40 vol. developer how much developer should I use since the 12.96 belongs to special blondes and the ratio is 1:2 and 10.16 ratio is 1:1 ? Thank you 😊
Hi, probably I missed to explain that "special blondes" is not working with other colours. You can mix 12.96 only with special blondes like 12.16.. and others.
Hello, very helpful video! I have natural hair around level 3 which are not dyied and i want to lighten them to a level 5. I am wondering if its better to mix 5/0 with 5/2 with 30 vol developer or to use a level 6 dye?
Hi, 5/0 + 5/2 with 30 vol is good combination. With 30 vol you will achieve level 5, and color numbers 5/0 and 5/2 are good for neutralisation of the red-orange undercoat which is coming on level 5.
@Alex cara Hi, I colored my hair many times and rightnow it's in level 5 which is like my natural hair color. So I like to change it for level 7/1 or 7/17 or 7/0. Can I use thies colors with 30% developer??

Ciao Alex, I’m from Australia and I’ve started using Koleston. My question is, I have 100%grey and chose 66/0 and 6/3 mixed with it. I did half and half, but I read you shouldn’t mix anything with the pure natural..true or false? And my other question is, can I just use 66/0 alone? Will it be too flat no shine.

Hi Alex, great video! I'm currently using wella koleston 12\1 with 40 vol developer but recently it ends up too yellow\brassy on root area. Can I mix 12\1+ 12\61 equal parts with the same developer for a lighter cooler blonde? Thanks for reading this.
Hi Sonia, it's depending of how long roots do you have. Your formula can work and lift your hair a little bit more if your roots are not longer then 1-1,5 cm. If the roots are longer than 1,5 cm than it is better to lift them and clean the yellow with bleaching powder using low percentage of peroxide ( for ex mix 1 part of bleaching powder + 3 parts of peroxide 1.9%) and then apply a demi-permanent or permanent hair color to tone the hair (also using low percentage of peroxide). Some tips: Dye your roots every 4-5 weeks. The coolest color is 12\81 and is recommended for darker base like level 5-6. You can also mix 12\81 with 12\1 or 12.61. It is important also to follow the mixing ratio 1 part of color (only for special blond)+ 2 parts of peroxide. And development time is 50 min. Also put enough color. parts 12% of peroxide (development time 50 min)
Bleaching powder with 1.9% you can use now when your hair is already dyed in a blond, just to lift it little more and clean the yellow pigment. When you will have again natural roots longer then 1,5 cm, then the formula is : Light base from level 7 1 part of bleaching powder + 2 parts of peroxide 3-4%. Darker base - 1 part of bleaching powder + 2 parts of peroxide 6% ( for very dark base 9%)
@@alexcara thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. My roots are not that big, I do my roots every 4 weeks roughly. I recently noticed my root area especially at the back of the head is kinda brassy yellow compared to the front. So I was wondering if I can mix 12/81 with 12/1 to get a cooler shade. By the way, what scales do you recommend for weighting the dye? Thanks again for the help.
@@soniazanelli26 No problem, my pleasure! 12/81 with 12/1 is good combination for cooler shade. About weighing scale, best is to use a professional one like this:ebay.us/yU61pr but it can be also any kitchen scale of good quality.
Hi! If i want to go from platinum blonde to ash brown what peroxide should i use? I ll mix the color with some red special mix to be sure that it will work but i dont know about the peroxide if its ok to use 3% or 6%.
Can you blend Koleston Perfect colors with the Koleston Perfect Me+ 6/3 Rich Naturals? And can they both use the Welloxon Perfect 6% creme developer? Thank you.
Hi, Wella answered me that it is ok to mix Koleston Perfect with Koleston Perfect Me+ . It is the same color just they added Me+ when they improved the formula.
Hey! I want to buy 9/81 , but I think it won't be grey enough ? (I want really grey hair, not an ashy blonde) Can I add 0/81 or would it be too much ? My hair is around Lvl 9/10
Hi, for really grey I recommend instead of 0/81 add 0/88 ( blue mix). Experiment with proportion, start to add 1 gr of 0/88 to 1 tub(60gr) of 9.81 and apply it on a small part of hair. If necessary add more blue mix.
Are the pure naturals very dark if you take 6/0 or 7/0? they say Koleston is always one or two tones darker. That means if I want a 6/0 brightness I have to take a 7/0 ?? 😅
Yep! I learned the hard way! I have grey hair all over and tried 66/0….ouuft! It’s a level 4-5! But I don’t mind cos I know how to lighten it if I choose to with a bleach bath or use a technique I read about using bicarbonate soda …

@@amaranto6568 A cool color will looks all time darker than a warm color of the same level of lightening. So I recommend instead of level 4 to use level 5 because it will look darker. In your case you will need to make a deep colour-cleansing to remove your current color and light the hair to level 5-6 and after that you can apply the dream shade. Some recommendations of cool shadows (level 5) from Koleston Perfekt : 5/0 + 0.28 (green mix) or 5.1 + 0.28 You can experiment with green mix, for exempel start to add 3- 4 grams of 0.28 in 1 tub of 5/0 or 5.1 , try it on a small part of hair and more 0.28 as needed. About how to make a Deep Colour-Cleansing I will try to make a video on this week.
Hi Terri, yes you can use it on bleached hair, but the best thing for hair quality is to use a semi-permanent color in this case. If you still want to use Koleston, use the lowest percentage of oxidant. For example, if you have 6% oxidant, mix it with water 50/50 to make it 3%.

Hi there, could you please tell me how to mixed 7/31 with 30 vol (natural brown)that’s the colour I want. I’m having a hard time because I don’t know the right amount I need to mixed with. thank you!!!

Hello Alex, my natural hair is somewhat between 7and 8. I would like to go 2 levels lighter. If i will dye them with 10.16+9%, will I reach the level of 9.16? I already have 10.16 at home and just wonder if I can apply it. Or shall I necessarily oder 9.16?
Someone correct me if I’m wrong - new to wella. I’d imagine still 6% if you’re saying you’re natural is black, a higher developer could leave you with hot roots
I wouldn’t recommend using 40 vol on dark hair. When i bleached my whole hair i used 20 vol first and bleached it 2 times and then i bought 30 vol and bleached it once more and my hair wasn’t looking bad. I would recommend doing the same steps and then dye it with for example the Wella Or Loreal hair dyes. Good luck 👍🏻
