choked out these words:
In order to have real blonde streaks, wouldn't she have to bleach her hair
in addition to dying it?
well, she's a dishwater blonde, so she wouldn't have to bleach.
a few foils could be done with a highlift blonde (level 10 or
higher and 30 vol developer), and the rest of the hair could be
coloured brown. that wouldn't be so bad.
another option is just to do a row of foils down the middle of
the top of the head in both blonde and brown. if her hair is all
the same length (not layered), then this would be a very easy
process, and not at all difficult to maintain, IMO.
a word on Loving Care and the like:
from what i understand, they are semipermanent tints. i don't
use them regularly, but i have before. your semipermanent
colours will fade out, yes, but if you're using them on blonde
hair, good luck. it's likely that your daughter's light hair
will retain much of the colour and will only completely disappear
when the parts with colour are completely grown out or cut off.
what this means is: if you don't want her hair to retain any of
the colour for more than a few weeks, don't do it. if she had
dark hair, then i'd say, sure, go for it. imagine making a mark
with pencil on white paper. if you then erase the mark, you will
still faintly see where the mark was. if you mark on black paper
and then erase, it will be more difficult and perhaps impossible
to see where the mark was. this analogy should be considered
when doing anything to blonde hair.
