Step #1: Select The Designed Color That You Want
First you must select the desired color that you want to be, say a medium warm blonde level 8.
Step #2 : find out the present color of your hair
Now that you have determined where you want to be color wise, you have to find out where you are now. By "now" I mean first the 'level' and the tone of your hair (whether it has reddish or blonde undertones considered "warm" colors or ashen or pale "cool" undertones)
Don't panic when I say reddish or blonde undertones. Remember, I said that the color you "see" is a combination of colors reflecting off of the hair.
You must use a swatch book ( the book with all the hair colors at the hair dresser's that has samples of hair colors glued in ) to compare your hair color as it is now to match levels and tones in natural light if at all possible.
Your present hair color is Not what you perceive, or think, or what your Aunt called your color when you were a kid!!
Step #3: Doing The Math For Haircoloring
Now you must do the math part of the 'homework' to find out the level of the colors that should be applied to give you the desired color in mind.
Now that you know where you are now and where you are going, let's look at the following example of how to get there!
Example
Lets say that you are a light ash brown level 6. Being a level 6 "ash" light brown means that you have an "absence of 'warm' undertones" in your hair now; but; you want to both "lighten and warm up"' the color to the desired level of an 8 warm blonde color.
Desired color-Warm Blonde Level = Level 8
Target color level X 2 = 16
Natural color--Light Ash Brown = Level 6
subtract this from target color level of 16
16-6=10
This gives you the number of levels to lift (= 2) and the level of color to actually use (=10).
Note: If the total number for the level of color is 13 or larger, pre-lightening is required to achieve the desired color. You need to go off to a professional for double process coloring
