Hi to all, i'm new to this forum, after reading your useful discussions I would like to ask you an advice:
i have dark brown hair and i would like to do some ash highlightings on them.

Now I went to the hairstylist shop and i bought a bleaching cream and oxigen 40 vol to mix 1:2.
I used this mix but i obtained only a small decoloration (still brown with orange) for a 40 minutes application and a yellow blonde with 1 hour application.
I went back to the shop and i bought the bleach powder and i mixed it with the oxigen 40 vol 1:2 and with a 40 minutes application i've obtained a lightener blonde but still yellow and not yet ash.
My question is: is the mix the right one?
How many minutes should i take the mix on?
If i keep it too much on my head can my hair turn white?
Thanks for your attention and help!

I'm pretty sure (and I'm welcoming being corrected) but you can't actually bleach to an ash color, you either have to tone or use a dye, past the yellow stage. And if your hair turns white from bleaching, it's been processed to the frieeed stage (after pale yellow, you have to tone to white)
doubt truth to be a liar.

hi, when i went to the shop i bought a dye either and the dealer told me i had to decolor hair to the ground to obtain the ash color with the dye, but what is the ground? When i have to stop the decoloration process?
Is the mix right for my hair color?
Changing the ingredients proportions can change the decoloration result?
