touching up/ bleaching roots is a pain in the arse

-clairol professional born blonde creme hair lightener
doesn't work as well as the "7th stage" stuff, which has a blue base to it that tones while it bleaches

-wella color charm "white lady" T18
- violet base
- tones hair white if hair is at the very pale yellow stage

@ImSoHappiNinja nooo dont leave it on for an hour! your hair will turn a muddy purple!

20 mins at the most!

[ImSoHappiNinja]

@j0sy7 Smf. Im getting it still but it will change my golden blonde hair to plat blonde?

[j0sy7]

@ImSoHappiNinja if its a golden blonde, u might need to lighten a bit more before toning. ur hair should be a pale yellow color before toning in order to get a nice platinum/white blonde

hey about retouching ur roots

did u do it in 2-3 bleaching again?

[j0sy7]

@n4gauge i did it in 2. - i would try using a 40 vol. developer to retouch.. but be careful not to apply to the hair that is already bleached ... it will break. if you're not comfortable using 40, use the 30 vol. and do it in 2 sittings. :)

Hey, love the color! Do you think born blonde from the box kit will work like your's?

@paintdrippin why? whats henna?

[paintdrippin]

ya well i find that blue bleach & blue/violet toners work better then violet in my hair maybe b/c no one told me that paul mitchell has henna in there shampoo!

[j0sy7]

its a dye it doesn't strip out color- what a toner does is tint the hair with a very light hue of blue or violet to cancel out yellow/orangy/brassy tones.
