What color of Colinette matches platinum hair?

Post by Siegelinde » Wed Jun 09, 2010 7:45 am

I'm planning on making Colinette point 5 hair falls, but I'm unsure of the color. My hair is platinum blonde, and I'd like the base color of the falls to match it (at least closely, doesn't have to be perfect). I've browsed through the Colinette web pages, but there's no picture of the undyed yarn. Would it match platinum, or can it be dyed to match? And with what?

Undyed is probably the same colour as undyed roving, which is a white-cream type of colour. If you were going to dye it, what type of colour - I know there are tea/coffee tutorials on here for blonde dying. I use an acid dye from eBay, I used to use the "jacquard" one, but these go a lot furthur. She doesn't have many colours, but the ones she has are awesome!

I have white/platinum hair and un-dyed roving is a perfect match for it :)

Cream Tea colorway from colinette would look beautiful with platinum hair. Wouldn't match exact, but would be beautiful accent.
