Question about a stubborn client's hair color that wouldn't lift evenly

After three failed attempts with a standard 30 volume developer, I finally got a clean, even base by mixing a small amount of clarifying shampoo directly into the lightener before applying it to her resistant sections.

Wait, so the shampoo trick worked? How much did you end up mixing in?

Yeah the shampoo thing totally worked. It made me realize how often we just mix random household stuff to solve problems now. Like using vinegar for cleaning or baking soda for smells. Feels like we're all just doing little home experiments because actual products got too expensive or complicated.

That "little home experiments" line really hits home. It's like we're all going back to basics because the fancy solutions overpromised and underdelivered. What's the weirdest combo you've tried that actually worked?
