First I pre-lighten to a specific color level. I use Ion's ammonia free-dust free stripping powder and Ion's volume 30 or 40 developer creme depending on which level I need. Level 30 pull out the color well but slow, volume 40 pulls everything out in 10 minutes to a blonde. I use Tea Tree, or Renpure Organics " My pretty hair is parched" to genly condition/wash the stuff out of my hair. I avoid washing this stuff out with shampoo as it'll dry my hair. Then I use one of those brands I mentions and the nutrients from the plants restore my hair. i use a small amount of heat from the blow dryer to add inteseity to the color then let it sit almost 2 hours. Next, I use Renpure Organics ( ph balanced-color safe) again and rinse with cold/lukewarm water. Hot water and shampoo pull out hair so when I wash my hair I skip a day shampooing and use only conditioner to help maintain color and of course keeping the water cool helps too
