How can I ensure I have the same depth and tone from my roots to my ends?

My hair is coloured copper but the roots are a lot darker and vivid compared to the lengths and ends. How can I make sure the colour is the same depth and tone from root to ends without it going patchy?

Can you advise me on how to achieve colour where the roots are darker than the ends?

I have blonde highlighted hair but I am naturally a brunette. I have recently seen that a lot of celebrities are sporting the style were the roots are slightly darker than the ends of the hair. Can you give me advice on how this can be achieved without looking tacky?

The ends of my hair have gone black but I would really like the Ombré effect. How can I achieve this?

I have been colouring my mousey hair dark brown for about two years. While it is in really good condition, the ends have gone black and I would really like to have Ombré hair but my hairdresser said it would not be possible to lighten my hair. What can I do?

How can hair be lightened without using harsh chemicals?

My daughter who is only 13 years old would like to be blonde. She needs her hair cut and styled but because she is young, I do not want her to use harsh chemicals. What’s the best thing to do?

How do I correct patchy colour?

I have a short hairstyle and been dying my hair that lovely white / grey / lilacy blue colour, however the back of my hair and part of my roots always appear to be a blonde colour, even after colouring! Is it my hair or something that is not being done correctly to get an all over colour that's the same?

Where can I get my hair coloured so that it looks more interesting than my natural colour, but not obviously dyed?

Where can I get my hair coloured so that it looks more interesting than my natural colour but not obviously dyed? I think that very thin highlights / lowlights would make it look more classy and natural. Any suggestions?
