The Blonde Hair Thread

[kissablekae]

^ you can get to ashier to neutral blonde but it might take a while to get there, gradually get to blonde as well as cancel out those red tones

once you have lifted enough pigment (brown to blonde) to get to a lighter blonde, instead of just toner you can dye over it with an ashier blonde to really get the color right. we were considering that the last time i was in the salon but the toner worked fine. but it's an option for me if i need to freshen my color in the future.

^thank you for your advice! I'll go to the hair dresser and talk with them too. I dont think I should do this myself, I'm a color catastrophe when I do...

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

i just changed my color again with casting creme gloss light brown. i was fed up of paying ridiculous amounts of money at salons and never getting the right shade of blond
so darker is it for me... right now
i ll be in the brunette hair thread from now on
ciao ciao girls

[melfreya]

yep, I call that blonde too! not only the platinum blondes count!

 

[SpanishCaravan]

i see her hair as light brown with some red in it.

 

[CharmingNicky]

I think Miley is a blonde, and that colour is amazing.
But now, seriously I need to stop coming to this thread, as I just made up my mind to go dark again but coming here makes me want to stay blonde!

 

[kissablekae]

^ seriously! it was the same for me when i went back to brun

i like that Miley went more Jennifer Aniston and not "Hollywood Blonde", that type of color suits them and their coloring

Her eyes . Abbey is gorgeous. Beautiful hair. I hate the platinum blonde she has now .

 

[kissablekae]

she's working the platinum at times but i still prefer Abbey with her old hair color too

 

[yesitsdagny]

Abbey's natural hair color was so perfect. She does look cute with platinum hair too.. but her old color was so much better

I'll post my question here because the bleach experts all seem to be in this thread instead of the platinum one

I want to have platinum blonde streaks in my brown hair so I can dye the streaks in different colors. I bleached it with Schwarzkopf Blonde Ultra Lightener and it turned out all reddish blonde. I know this can happen, especially when you have a lot of red pigments in you hair like I do. But I guess I'll just try again and bleach over it once (or even twice) more? How long would I have to wait until I can try again? My hair looks quite horrid at the moment

 

[kissablekae]

psylocke, it's probably best to not go completely platinum blonde with the streaks, platinum has more trouble holding color because of all of the holes.

my friends have done DIY steaks like that too, i think if you get it light and pure enough(not yellow), it should take the colors in just fine.

probably shouldn't go pass the time it says on the bottle (depends on the volume you are using, 30 vol usually need for brown hair) and watch your hair to see how it's changing while the bleach is on.

if your hair is in good condition, wait a week before you rebleach. in the mean time, deep condition your hair.

my hairdresser friend was testing my hair strength last time. you take a strand of the bleached hair, wrap each end of the hair around your index fingers and pull, if its taut stays straight/wavy(whatever your hair type), it it's bouncy like spaghetti or your curls/waves stretch out then it's not healthy enough to rebleach.
