My stylist has used INOA on my hair twice now. No horrible reactions, thank goodness. But, the color fades quickly and I don't like the in-between color. She took my bleached level 9 hair to approximately a level 5.5 with the INOA and wove it in with the remaining highlights (my natural hair color is dark ash blond, maybe level 6-7). Looks great, and my hair is healthier, but I've decided I want to go back to light blond with caramel and brownish lowlights. Anyone know if this can be done with INOA color in one appointment? I'd rather not bleach, but I'd rather bleach than stay with the darker hair. I know zilch about hair color, but wondered what I can expect now that I've decided to go lighter. I'm willing to sacrifice some of the length if it means my hair will be blond and healthier.
