How do I get Ash Blonde Highlights ?

I try to give my Customers Ash Blonde Highlights but the Color Comes out Too Brassy. Why?

The most common reason why hair color comes out brassy and not "ashy" enough is that colorists often fail to take into account the natural yellowness or warmth that exists in all natural blonde hair.

In order to give a customer Ash Blonde, you need to lift the color and also neutralize it using Ash.  

Ugly Duckling has a very wide range of colors with strong ash pigmentation to ensure that you succeed in getting your desired Ash Blonde Highlight.

Which Colors Can I Use to Give my Customers Ash Blonde Highlights?

Step 1 : Bleach

• This can be used for breaking the base, either using foils or as a full head application. Mix bleach with 30 Vol, make sure you get a sufficiently runny consistency and process until the color reaches the right level. Use heat to speed up the process. Then rince.

Step 2 : Ash blonde color

Once the color has been lifted, you can add in various different ashy hair tones. Some of the most commonly used are the following:

• Extra Light Ash Blonde 10A
• Very Light Ash Blonde 9A
• Light Ash Blonde 8A
• Ash Blonde 7A
• Dark Ash Blonde 6A.

These colors will all give true ash results, that is to say they, cool tones which neutralize the underlying warmth in natural hair. You need to choose the hair color level which is most appropriate for your customer.
