How to go platinum w/ Wella haircolor!

[dioraddict_xo]

I have another question...dont mean to be a bug to anyone but i wanted to do at home dye using wellas color cremes. When i went onto the wella color chart, it told me to combine 1 1/2 oz of 0/00 Clear and 1/2 oz of 10/89 lightest pearl, now the thing is, am i missing anything to add to the color..do i need a volumizer? if so, what level? Or do i just mix those two cremes together? Any help would be awesome. Thanks

You would need a developer ... usually for blonder hair a 20 volume is fine, but since some of your hair is darker, you might want to go with a 30 volume. On areas that are light blonde now, you probably won't need as much processing time as the darker ones, so I'd do a strand test. Just remember to use a deep conditioner afterwards because the 30 vol. is a bit stronger then 20, so you want to make sure you put the moisture back in.

PS... You're not a bug

So do i just mix the developer in with the two cremes combined?, Is going up to 40 to high? The way i see it, the higher the developer the lighter youll go (is their any truth to this? ) the parts that are dark underneath, im going to keep dark, but will it bleach over the red w/out it leaving it a brassy tone?

The red in my hair is Manic Panic (temp dye), didnt know if id have to do it in sections.

I'll have to try that the next time I color my hair. I have never used Wella, I normally use Clairol.

Well, yeah... the higher the volume the stronger it is. BUT, you gotta figure into it what color your hair is now... and what you're going for -- plus the condition & texture. You don't want overkill. 40 is pretty potent. You can either mix the clear w/ the color --- or you can do it afterwards as another process. It's just basically a glaze for shine... so either or.

Oh... about the red... as long as you lift past the orange stage, you'll get blonde. From what I remember Manic Panic is only a temporary color, so if yours is... check on it often because it won't take as long to process as if it were a perm. color.
