My mentor in beauty school said to always mix color with a plastic bowl, not metal.

I finally tried a metal bowl last week for a vivid red, and it oxidized the formula in under 5 minutes. Has anyone else had a color react badly to a specific mixing tool?

Wait, it ruined the color in less than five minutes?

That's why they tell you not to use metal, it really does matter.

Yep, learned that the hard way with a blue toner. Metal bowls just wreck some formulas.
