The first attempt I have blond ventured with Logona with a short residence time of almost 30 minutes to be able to recognize how the approach and the bleached lengths react. To recognize was a reinforced Goldiger glimmer of bleached hair and nothing else. The second attempt a week later with a contact time of 45 minutes, has the bleached hair further gilded, ie they were yellow. The darker approach, however, was effective against the yellowness seen very ashy. So not the desired result of a reasonably harmonious transition between dark and light, but rather the opposite. In addition, the horror had indeed become yellowish blond, but this effect after a few washes washed again.
In my research I came across Khadi colors and have summarily ordered the blonde. The first test was carried out based on a mixture of blond and Khadi Logona blonde, with no significant results.
The second test the next day was exclusively blonde with Khadi. The chemically colored lengths were dark with minimal gold tinge of red in bright light (but not red); but happened at base nothing (perhaps minimally darker). So visually ashy on approach compared to the darker become golden rest.
The third test was carried out blonde on a mixture of Khadi and a small addition (teaspoon) of Khadi Hazel (1 hr.). Hereby I was able to achieve a small approximation, in which the approach was Goldiger with minimal reddish tinge and the still quite bright hair lengths were brownish. This adjustment has, however, washed out relatively quickly.
The next time you start I was brave at 50%: 50% medium blond and hazel without test streak. Dry mixed with a little whisk and then with lukewarm tap water. The mush fully and generously distributed on the head. Hood wrapped it with towel and waited almost 2 hours. The result was impressive, growing dark in the next two days but even after fairly. Flowing natural transition between approach and hair lengths, the hair lengths slightly brighter than the approach. Directly after coloring: Beautiful warm tone so (completely covered slightly reddish, gray hair and slightly brighter like streaked) between blonde and a very bright shade of brown. After the first two days of approach and also partially the dark strands of hair some strands of hair was received upon receipt of light a darker light engraving. Still beautiful. Oh, right after dyeing worked a few individual strands cover slightly greenish (shock). This greenish was gone after the first shampooing the next morning. During the following three weeks, the hair was again bright and washed out.
Yesterday mixture back blonde approximately half / half and Hazel and a small remnant (teaspoon) of Logona blond. After 1 hour reaction time, a great result. Super nice transition between approach and lengths in the warm color blend blonde to very light brown (minimum copper engraving). Looks very natural and not dyed out. The washed approach no longer works ashy, which actually my natural hair color is not ashy, anyway. Only the difference between chemistry and approach then looked ashy halt. Smooth transition into the originally chemically colored hair lengths.
Note: When I speak of a reddish cast, then please do not confuse with red hair. What I mean is that only the shine of your hair with appropriate lighting a bit tends towards red / coppery.
Oh yes, the condition of the hair. I am now switched completely to silicone-free shampoos and rinses. At first I had expensive shampoos of Logona and Khadi. They were also quite good, but the low-cost products from Rossmann Alterra and the DM market are also no worse. Now, after a few months and only staining with PFH is amazing happened. The hairs act completely healthy (my hairdresser is excited and can not believe they had me previously proposed short hair). I use only the shampoo daily and can dispense entirely with douching. No tangles and knots more, easy combing of wet hair just amazing. Only the first few days after dyeing I use a conditioner, as the guard hairs are a little dry otherwise.
Herbal hair colors only come into question for me, even though my husband and I found my old blond lovely and this is no longer going with PHF. The handling I find now no longer problematic. Mixing and upside down with it. The sink clean short, where something is spilled out. After the exposure from the shower and simultaneously wash the shower area. When my hair texture and length nothing remains in the Khadifarben in hair. The can be super rinse (Logona was obstinate) and I have no more sand on the scalp. If what ans dark colored (bright spots because I would not want to risk) have come t-shirt, short wash roughly by hand and with other items into the washing machine. If I have to fall back later on approach dyeing (otherwise everything would become dark due to color glaze on glaze color in lengths), then I can let do this in my hairdresser (can apply with hood and hat home quickly). Here in the country we are flexible and I was not the only one who's going like this (only the only one with PHF). In the summer run with bonnet to the car, you have to stop taking with humor.
The smell of paint was beginning to get used to for me. The components of a strong odor of soaked wet hay (horses feeding), but never stink. Because I find some chemistry colors worse, which, although perfumed nice in the top grade, but the tears a drive from the bottom up in the eye and let it burn the scalp. OK, and color in the mixed consistency remind the mixed Khadi herbal hair colors much like a cow pat ;-). My opinion on this: Probably go with one or the other user just fancy in appearance and smell by.
