You can mix two Hair Colours together for a variety of reasons:
You want a Hair Colour that is between 2 Shades
You want to weaken a strong reflect like Gold or Copper Ash or Silver
You want to add an extra pigment boost to counter Warmth in your Colour without the full Cooling effect
You can’t choose between two Hair Colours

3. If you intend on creating a multicolored look directly on your hair, do this:
Take the first color and apply it to the desired portion of your hair, wrap that portion with plastic wrap and then move on to the next portion on which you wish to apply a different color. This will ensure that the 2 colors don’t mix up. You can have different colored money-pieces and underlights, or an ombre with 2 or 3 colors or multicolored hair with 4-5 colors and so much more! It all depends on which color you feel like wearing in your hair 😉

4. Keep this in mind!
If you go for a multicolored look directly on your hair as stated above, then ensure that you apply the lighter color above and the darker color on your tips. Or you can make sure that there is enough natural hair between the multicolored portions so that the colors don’t bleed and mix after you wash your hair. Here are a few more hacks you can keep in mind when doing multiple colors.

Rule #1: What Colours Should I Mix?
This depends on what you want from your Hair Colour, also what your Hair needs. Here’s how to create your look.
Option 1: Mix With A Natural
We like a Natural base, it’s easy to set your Colour’s Lightness and then gives you the freedom to choose whatever reflects your heart desires.
For Example: I want to be a Medium Blonde, so I choose a 1/2 x 7 Medium Blonde Hair Colour but I know my Hair can go Warm and Brassy when I Colour, so I will mix 1/2 x 7.1 Ash Blonde in to help counteract that little bit of Warmth to keep my Colour Natural.
Option 2: Mix Two Reflects
Keep to like-minded Colours, such as Cool and Cool or Warm and Warm to avoid countering each Colour Undertone out.
For Example: Don’t mix Ash and Copper Shades together they will counteract each other turning your Hair Colour into a muddy Shade. If you want to soothe the intensity of a Shade, like Copper, subdue it with a Natural Shade.
Option 3: Mix To Achieve That In Between Shade
If the Hair Colour you want is not in the Range or is in the middle of two Colours, create your own Hair Colour mixture.
For Example: 7.3 Golden Blonde is too Light and 5.3 Golden Brown is too Dark, mix half and half together to achieve a “6.3 Dark Golden Blonde”.
Rule #2: How To Get The Perfect Colour Ratios
If you are looking for an even contribution from each Colour, choose a 1/2 and 1/2 ratio of each Colour.
When you want one Colour to be more dominant, or you need just a dash of reflect or depth, choose a 3/4 + 1/4 mixture with the dominant shade taking up the biggest ratio.
Rule #3. Understanding A Colour’s Undertone Is Everything
Undertones are like the directory to tell you what you do and don’t want in your Hair Colour. We like to keep this part very basic and break each Undertone into Natural, Cool andWarm Hair Colours.
Natural Undertones
Natural Undertones are single pigmented, neutral Colours with no additional reflects or Undertones. Naturals are the perfect base to build a Colour mix from, using them to determine the Lightness of your Colour and mixing with a Cool or Warm shade to dilute their intensity.
You’ll find it in: 3 Dark Brown, 5 Light Brown, 6 Dark Blonde, 7 Medium Blonde, 8 Light Blonde, 9 Very Light Blonde
