Hi all, I typically order from both TL and BA but BA sort of flipped his wig ( pun intended ) and whent a bit nutty to say the least. Myself along with many others have been given a fake unit ( for reason not worth getting in to ) Long story shot I'm trying to make it right.

All is well but the color. I was able to match the color two weeks ago using perfect 10. It was a long effect but I did it. Darkening with the die and lightening with bleach ( 20 to 1 ). It seems ( unbenounced to me at first ) that I'm now back to where I started. To make it worse my colleagues are starting to wonder. So here I am again trying to match my color up before Monday. I used a die that last time was too light when done, though this time its to dark ( ughh ). I'm trying to find a way to tone it down a bit without re-attaching. I tied coming in a 20 to 1 mix of bleach ( let it sit for 30 min ) but it didnt light up. I only need a shade or two lighter. Preferably a blend from light to dark. Should I try a spray bottle ( messy but maybe a better spread )?

My second concern is how to make this stick till my new TL unit gets here. Perfect 10 did give me a conditioner and said to use it weekly. I did not use it at all, so maybe that is all I need. My guess was the cleaning process took the color out?

Anyone care to chat about this process and maybe add some advise?
