I have a question for you. Im licensed and yet have not used the color fillers. Even in school, the instructors wouldnt answer questions on how to use them correctly. I often wanted to try to use them but really am afraid. I travel to ppls houses or they come here, I havent worked in a salon, but even my friends that do, they dont even use the fillers. Is there even a website that can explain the proper use of them? Thanks!! !!! A Dnadd`a

 You need to fill the hair when going 2 or more level down from where you are, this is for highlighted hair and hair that is lifted up more than that 2 levels.

 This does NOT apply to hair that you want to cover for grey hair coverage or anything like that, just if you have very light hair and you want to take it back to natural.

 This is where the underlying pigment chart come into play, with that chart, you can see what you need to put back into  the hair, lets say you have a natural level 4 that you bleached or highlighted up to a level 9 and now she wants her natural hair back, if you try and put a level 4 brown color on her hair, the color will not hold, look off tone and fade out very soon, so you need to add the warmth back into the hair- fillers are ALWAYS warm, a combo of red, orange or gold, so a level 4 would need the red and gold, you would mix those two tones and apply that to the hair- use a demi permanent for this, they only deposit and that's what you want.

 Then wait 15 minutes and rinse the hair- do NOT shampoo, only rinse, then towel dry the hair or dry under a hood dryer and then apply a Neutral tone over this or a Neutral + Ash tone if they want it cool.

 As I said, you must fill if going down 2 or more levels when you have bleach- highlight or highlift color on the hair.

Thanks sooo much!!

Totally understand it now, and reminds me of a time the hair did come out a little too drab looking.

Thanks again. Lisa

 yOU ALWAYS NEED TO FILL IF GOING DOWN 2 OR MORE LEVELS AND A LOT  OF STYLISTS TRY NOT TO FILL AND JUST PUT SOME RED OR GOLD INTO THE REGULAR FORMULA, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY ENOUGH PIGMENT, SO ALWAYS FILL WHEN YOU NEED TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. - mAGS askmags.com
