Friday Appointment

I'm a stylist. The only way to get lighter since you have color on your hair is lightener. Color won't lift previous color from the hair. If you decide to do it just be sure to treat with remoist before and after. If it were me I wouldn't though, but I have fine, fragile hair that damages easily. Hth...

Thanks! Hmmmm...........I'll have to give this more thought.

I'm a stylist as well. If you want subtle highlights - your hairdresser can use 20 volume (the same volume as most colors use), with a light shade of color. You don't need to bleach and tone it for subtle highlights. This causes less damage. Condition after coloring.

OK! I'll ask her to do that. : )

Normally I would agree but I took her post to mean that she already has color in her hair in which case it won't work.

I took your first post to mean you already have color in your hair. Is that the case? If so then using a lighter shade of color won't work.
