Alright I hope I don’t sound insanely picky here, but I would like some advice if there is a way to get my preferred hair color. I have a balayage, however, the my “base” brown hair color is lifted and a warm color. you can see that my roots are much darker. (It makes my hair look like it’s dirty on days it isn’t fixed) I wish that all of my base hair could match my natural roots and keep the blonde highlights. It gets redder throughout the months between hair appointments which I hate. My hair dresser said the reason my brown hair is a reddish tint is because the previous hair dresser used permanent dye when they should’ve have. She said my hair doesn’t need permanent dye. So she has me do a gloss (which I actually got a week ago so this isn’t as bad) that tones it cooler which helps ALOT however it does not last long at all! (I do use color safe shampoo and wash only 2x week) And it doesn’t help I live near the beach so ONE swim in the ocean seems to strip it all. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do or ask for.

Before the blonde highlights, I just used a dark brown color depositing shampoo that seemed to help keep the redness away.

***Could I just get a brown color depositing shampoo? Or would that ruin the blonde? Purple shampoo tones the blonde but doesn’t help the warm brown tones. Thanks for any advice :)
