Ok, this might sound crazy, but I'm taking a class about the evolution of "beauty" trends in America over the last century. They ask some far reaching trivial stuff. One of the questions is about hair coloring and how it basically destroys natural hair. Once a person colors, they basically on a constant quest to get their hair back as close as they can to its natural state. Hair color dries, breaks, depletes natural oils and the "victim" is left reeling to add ingredient upon ingredient to try and make it feel normal again.
So the question I have, is in the article it states that a person should use their regular coloring such as wella to color the roots as they come in, as this process opens to hair and replaces it with artificial color. The article states that many people run it through all the hair after the roots have colored to blend in the color. According to what I read, this is where most people make a huge mistake and ruin their hair. Doing this every six weeks ruins your hair. The article said to use wella on the roots and then a "wash out solution" to remove the redish tint left on the main body of the hair and darken it.
What is this "wash out solution" And how does one use the less damaging solution to blend the colors?
