Vent: a stylist in Phoenix told me my color mixing was backwards, and 4 clients later I finally get it
She grabbed my bowl and said I was putting the darker shade in first when it should go last, and after testing it on 4 heads this month the gray coverage is way more even.
My friend had the same thing happen, her trainer flipped the order and said the gray stopped grabbing at the ends. She still does it that way two years later, so maybe the Phoenix lady was onto something.
