I have brown hair. When I try to get it to a white blonde, it never gets there. Turns out yellow. I tried one of the bleach kits and it was OK but still not white white. How do I get there and also how do I prevent the red ring onmy forehead from teh bleach?

Hi,

You probably need more than one bleach application. The darker your hair, the more times you have to bleach it. You can prevent the red ring by using a thin layer of vaseline around your forehead. Or you can tape cotton there. The important thing is to wipe up any drips from your skin. Also, if possible, use scalp bleach rather than regular bleach. It will take a lot longer to lift the color but it will probably not burn at all.

With your current color you may need 2-3 separate bleach applications.

Best wishes,
Karen

make sure you are using the SUPER form of the bleach you select
for example, L`Oreal Blondissima comes in regular and super formula
the super formula has a second package of activator powder
the maximum development time for this product is 90 minutes

if you have red/orange/yellow tones after you have bleached for 90 minutes, you might want to try
using a color neutralizing shampoo
look for shampoo such as AVEDA Blue Melva or AG Silver, these shampoos are either blue or silver
based and will help eliminate brassiness in your hair

alternatively, you can use a dandruff shampoo, such as H & S, with is blue in color, and that might help as well
