To get this special hue, mix equal parts of colors 6.71, 7.1, and a small amount of C color with a 6% developer (about half a tube of each). If your hair base is 6 or 7 and not bleached, you can directly apply the color. But if your natural hair is very dark, it’s better to bleach it first for a better olive mocha result. Wait about 35 minutes after coloring, and it’s recommended to use a color-setting mask afterward.
