"Hello! I am Lillian with Salon of Scottsdale, and on behalf of Expert Village.com, we are now ready to mix our color for our home color retouch. I have chosen two different colors and two different shades; one is a light brown and the other one is a medium brown. I don’t quite want light, light hair, and I don’t quite want a medium to dark hair; so by mixing both of them, I will get the color that I usually use and the color I like to achieve. My color that I chose today comes in one ounce markings. The whole container is four ounces. As you can see I have used this before, so this is my second color retouch. I am going to put an ounce of the light brown and an ounce of the dark brown. And then I am going to get the pre-measure, the bottle that has the measurements on it, and put the equal parts of peroxide in here; so since I have two ounces of the color, I am going to use two ounces of the peroxide, and I will begin doing that now. They are pre-marked, so I am just going to look where it says two ounces and stop at that part. You could purchase these little keys, if you use the tube versus the bottle, and you just put them at the end of the plastic on the tube; and when you unscrew the tube, it kind of pops out like that. But this helps to make, to get all the color out evenly without leaving any color in there, and you won’t waste your color. Now I will just have to add the peroxide."
