Going strawberry blonde from blonde, root issues!

Thanks!

You might be better just lightening your roots a bit and then just diluting one of the Adore direct dyes with conditioner to make a strawberry blonde. the Wella Koleston would probably fade where it had previously been very light anyway.

Whenever we need to even mine out......(because i am a lazy slacker and only dye my hair like every 4-6 months) we just mix different volumes with my hair dye. I professional tube dyes not box, not sure how you would do it with box dyes.

We mix 30 volume and color for the roots, then we do 20 volume and color for the dark chunk between the roots and the light lengths, then we do 10 volume for the lengths. Hope that makes sense. We apply roots first and then dark chunk area and then lengths...then comb it all throw so there is a blend of volumes so you dont get color blocks in your hair. Process and shampoo/rinse etc per normal after that.

To be fair this is the process we use for my red hair color, which is lightest red blonde mixed with intense red blonde and a boost of red semi-perm dye all mixed together lol. i have never tried using it on another color or blonde or with just bleach itself.

The problem with that strategy is that the 30 vol is likely added to give you the high level of lift you need to achieve the brightness for your red; this is something that depends on how many levels of lightening you need, then the 20 vol is the 'regular' volume for those professional dyes when you are just going a few shades lighter or darker and the 10 vol makes it into a semi permanent on the lengths. It is hard to say whether you would need to use the 30 vol to get the level of lift you want for your roots as on some of the photos your roots look quite dark but on others not so much.
Using that process means that all of your hair is being treated with some form of peroxide every time you colour, which can cause cumulative damage. If you do want to go the route of using the permanent dye with the different levels of developer you will probably need to do some strand tests to see if you can get the right level of lift with the 20 vol or if you need to move up to the 30.

As somebody who has been using Wella Koleston over previously bleached hair I can tell you that the ends will fade! Even if you do use the Koleston to achieve the colour you want I would recommend investing in some adore dye that you can dilute with conditioner so that you can top up your colour and save having to use developer so frequently on the ends! (or learn to love an ombre effect!)
