i really need a help right now....

my hair is black. i mean really dark black

Few years ago i bleached it almost platinum blond(no brassiness)

just in one step (i didnt even tone) thanks to my friend ..

but now i want to go blond again so i tried to do it by myself

so i used 40vol, wella welite lightner bleach and left it for

an hour and it  came out orange,  so next day i bleached again with

40vol, 7th stage and activator..  and it came out yellowish orange

i was wondering if i have chosen the wrong products.

can anyone suggest me the STRONGEST PRODUCTS?

I'm a guy and i don't care about the condition of my hair

whether my hair is gonna be fried or not, i can just shave my head

 if i dont like it, so i want to know what the strongest one would be.

thanks.

 picture below is the color i want

Do it one more time and it should come out fine. You probably didn't use
the same stuff as your friend, but it should still come out platinum once
you've bleached it once more and then added a violet toner (I hear Manic
Panic in Virgin White works well because it has a violet toner already
added in)

Actually i bleached again with 40vo. 7th stage and activator

twice after that.  but it didnt really get any lighter.

maybe i mixed products in wrong ratio or something?

 

this is how it came out

If you're not putting bleach on the scalp. I'd suggest that you step it up to an off scalp lightener like Clairol Basic White and mix it with 50 vol developer and mix in some red gold corrector.

You can leave the bleach on for up to 90 minutes, so don't wash it out untill your hair is light enough.

If you're going to put bleach directly on the hair and scalp without using foils or anything to protect the scalp. I'd suggest trying wella welite speedlite (not wellite, speedlite works much faster) and add some red gold corrector to it. Than leave it on for 90 minutes.

good luck.
