Salon Color over Boxed Color
I tried it, but nothing happened even on the gray. Do you have any ideas on how to cover boxed hair color with salon color? Does it have to be bleached out white?
It's a common mistake that a lot of stylists make. Many have only had experience doing first time color processing or applying permanent color to demi- or semi-permanent color. In these cases, you can lift the color since their formulation allows for easier dispersal of the color molecules that have been deposited.
But the formulation of permanent color doesn't allow the color to be lifted by another color process. You can add to the color and darken it, but not lighten it.
As a special note, you CAN remove color stains on the skin by using a dab of the color formula you are applying to the hair. Just don't leave the extra formula on long enough to make new stains.
