I haven’t been to the hairdresser for years, between lockdown and then having 3 kids close together I’ve been doing my own hair the last 5 years. I’ve only used Wella Welloxon perfect 40 vol & Wella Koleston perfect blonde to achieve high lift without bleach, and have been doing root regrowth. The last time I did this was December 2023, I’ve let my own colour grow out since then with a view to returning to a hairdresser when enough of my own root had grown through… which is now. Obviously I have a LOT of regrowth and went to a colour consultation hoping to basically have highlights in the regrowth to blend top and bottom and allow low maintenance regrowth so I can go back 2/3 times a year max.
really lovely girl at the salon did a strand test and today phoned to say my hair had melted in the bowl. I’m totally confused as I’ve not used box dye, only good quality stuff, in fact I’ve not dyed it in over a year! Washing once a week, avoiding heat as much as possible.
I don’t see how my hair could have melted? The only thing that I can think is this salon uses L’Oréal and Kevin Murphy, and I’ve been using Wella. Should I go to a salon that uses Wella and request a strand test? I’ve been so patient letting my hair grow out and not abusing it!!
