Directions Alpine/apple + touch of MP raven

I don't know what colour Raven dilutes to, I would use a blue black to get closer to the bottom pic, it has a lot more blue in it than yours

According to the Beeuniqe-website Raven has a green base, does that help? Or should I buy another tub of alpine and chuck that over?

I would get a deep blue or blue black

Okay. Do you have any brands that you recommend? I think I can get a hold of Directions and Manic Panic here 🙂

I really like Adore, they have a blue black and also nice deep blue; Royal Navy.

Looks really good! I think something with blue in would pull it closer to what you wanted though, maybe if you do it again leave out the Apple?

I'll try to buy a dark blue and mix it with the black I have. Do you think I should dilute it with conditioner too or can I pop it on my head straight on? 🙂

You will have to strand test to see how pigmented you need your mix. When creating your own mixes always strand test.

Oh my geez I love this color!!!!!

*oops nevermind just re-looked at the picture and know your starting color

Well, I like it so far! I think it just looks not quite saturated enough to be honest.

I used Raven as one of my blacks now I've got most of my hair black and the pot I used was most definitely brown based, so I'm not sure if it's changed recently?

Wicked Pixie, I'll definitely strand test. I had planned to do so with this green too but I forgot in the heat of the moment.. I was so excited lol!

Miss_bluey, I'm sure you can get this sort of colour if you want 😀

Janineb, This is what is says on the website but I'm not sure when this was written? "Possible results: Rich black shade which has a green base colour".

Oh yeah, I know it says that 🙂 but it's not always totally up to date. Nickki might not even be aware when these dyes are reformulated, so wouldn't know to change it. But the one I have is definitely brown based.

Reapplying the colour you used may get it closer to what you wanted, it looks on my screen that the dye just didn't take that well? Sometimes I reapply to get a stronger shade

I just got back from my little town where I bought some blue velvet by Fudge (I think it's called) it was the only dark blue I could get a hold of here. (I didn't see your replies until I got back). I would love to get my hair a darker colour before monday since that's when I my last year of college. I know it was stupid to do a hair experiment so soon before I start, but the dye took forever to arrive so everything was postponed a bit.

So I thought I would mix the blue and the black with white conditioner and do a strand test. If that looks terrible I guess I'll try to buy more green like you said. You should know I trust you all with my hair (I almost wrote life, but I guess that too lol) and I'm just doing the blue/black mix to see if I don't have to spend even more money to buy more green dye.

I'll post the results of the strand test here! 🙂

I see now that I diluted the black with conditioner, that it is brown based. What should I do?

Edit: This is what the dyes look like on white paper. I'm thinking the conditioner mix would be best, but I'm afraid it will get muddy because of the brown black?
