Wow, that was quick. Thanks Trace. Should I apply the relaxer first than the colour?

How do you like Relax; deep condition; neutralize; color; then style?

I feel more comfortable putting the conditioner on directly before the color to make sure it's well conditioned - minus the possible drying effects of the shampooing involved in neutralizing - right before the color is applied. I also don't like the idea of not neutralizing directly after a chemical. I know this is a more recent trend in relaxing, but I don't do it and I'm not comfortable trying it.
But I imagine it could be done in whatever order one wishes beased on ones own preferences and concerns.

Hey EmeraldSky, I've never heard of this one. Where have you found it? I'd like to do an ingredient comparison with my Sebastian's. TIA

Re: sebastian colorshines(clear)how much to use he
Emerald Sky - Your formula is slightly more "damaging" although even yours is not quite "damaging" in the same sense as coloring the hair normally makes one think.
The difference? And I had to chuckle here because cosmetics companies are so CLEVER....
- that "infuser" you purchased is otherwise known as a developer. It's a peroxide based additive that allows the haircolor you purchased to lighten the hair slightly. It is not likely that the developer is higher than a 10 or 20 percent volume though (they range in increments of 10 from 10 to 40 - with 40 being the highest and most damaging), so it couldn't, for instance, lighten the hair to a blond or even a brightish red. It's just subtly allows a slight lift so that you can just barely brighten your natural color a bit. These colors will also darken the hair if you wish and will last slightly longer possibly than the Sebastian's Colorshines. The color you have is called a DEMI-permanent color.
Sebastian's is a SEMI-permanent, it will not lift the hair. It deposits color onto the cuticle of the strand only and therefore does not require any penetration past the cuticle - which means no need for peroxide. This makes no damaging at all whereas the Clairol product you purchased may be slightly damaging. Honestly though? It's not so much so that you should worry about it. Unless you have some particular sensitivity to peroxide, and all should go well.
It won't necessarily carry the same BENEFITS as the Colorshines tho (the sealed cuticles, the shine) because of that peroxide.
HTH

Re: sebastian colorshines(clear)how much to use he
It'd be hard SSC....
But you MIGHT be able to make it happen by experimenting a little. Getting an auburn demipermanent and using a 20 vulume developer instead of a 10...but it'd be tricky. If you're feeling daring I could probably talk you thru it.
But you'd have to use a lightener, yes.
You could use a regular semi-permanent color but you'd get more of a tint than a color that :showed up"...would that be ok with you? If so I'd say pick a Colorshine in the red family and see what happens.
This is fun!
I should ditch gradaute school and go to cosmetology school and specialize in color....::Tracy looks off into the distance and daydreams::: I could end up in Allure and Essence as a master colorist...

hehe. I don't even know what a demipermanent color is. Well rather I would try it or not would depend on if I understood a little better exactly what I was trying to do. So if you could explain a little more about the demi permanent, maybe an example of a brand name of one, or link me to someting with more ijnfo, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your response!

Ok...so one more question (I know you're getting annoyed with me, but you have to understand my cluelessness in this issue
So if I wanted highlites, could I get demi permanent highlites or is do only permanent highlites exist?

Re: sebastian colorshines(clear)how much to use he
You're not annoying me ssc - don't be silly...
You could try to do demi highlights, but they wouldn't be very ntoicable. Again, because most demis use a 10 volume developer and the lift with this is only slight. The only way to remedy this - and still it would be a crap shoot - is to try substituting a 20 volume developer.
Most highlights are actually done with bleach. And sometimes they are done with permie color. But rarely with demi-perm and never with semiperms....the latter two formulas just aren't strong enough.

Re: sebastian colorshines(clear)how much to use he
Since u guys are on the topic of colourshines. Is colourshines like a cellophane. Also is clear better than using a color. I have black hair and I'm thinking about using black cherry. I have hennalucent burgundy in my hair now.
