    What if I just use pure Ash tone - there is one in the wella line which is used for adding to other colours -

    You will need to use a "green-base" ash hair color to neutralize the red tones. Be sure to choose a shade that's close to your own hair color.

    What numbers on wella is "green-based" - the 44/65 is a intense dark brown with the intense damson... My own colour is around a 5 or 6 - Are you in UK or USA - ?

    Also the 44 is a double base... so it really hard to lift the red and then lift the double base too...
