How to keep the really nice blond????????

hey everyone!!!....
i am a soon tobecome an actess and you know beauty matter alot when you perform in movies...lol...anyhow....

i have very light blonde hair(its bleached) and when ever o go to the hair dresser she putts this amazing blonde toner on my hair but in a week or two it washes off.i mean, its still blonde but not that amazing blonde colour ...how often do you guys putt toners on your hair???..is it too much for me to putt it on every 2 weeks you think???...but it makes the colour "ohhh sooo nice"!....i also use the purpel shamppo though so it wont get brassy....

also, i naturally have black hair, and at the moment i have whiteish champane blonde hair, when i take showers my hair is like lastic, you pull on it and it all alacticy...then it breaks off really easyly...but it is perfectly fine when its dry...my hair dresser said it was normal for my hair to do that if i want it that blonde and since i have naturally black hair, what do you guys think  about this?i need more advise!!!..i need help on this!!..

have a good one!

any other help please:(

Try using some of the Born Blonde toners available at Sally Beauty.  They usually last one to two weeks.  In order to keep a nice shade of blonde you must tone at least once a week, IMHO. 

I was once told you can tone all you want with no damage ... Don't know if it's entirely true though, because I hear so many conflicting reports on everything. I use a purple conditioner on my blonde AND Fanciful brand rinse in "white minx." For the LONGEST time I was looking for something to keep my blonde nice and bright and this did the trick. I also use Jhirmack shampoo for silver hair (ok for blondes, of course!). When I do all three in one day, my hair looks EXTRA great.

You could always go back to your salon every couple of weeks for the toner. Yeah, they never do last but a couple of weeks. And I second that elastic hair is NOT a good sign at all.

hey there lipglossdoll, i am hairdresser.
what i would do is use a a gentle toner, something like wella sunlights /18 or wella Koleston perfect 10/8 as a toner with pastel (a very light peroxide almost water 1.9%)

i say wella because i work with them and found these colors to be perfect with blondes! everyone says so. and yes you can use a toner every fortnight providing you are using a very low peroxide.

hope this helps babe

I agree about the Wella toners. I'm not a hairdresser but have started doing my own hair with toner mixes from Ricky's (a beauty store here in NYC). I love the Wella, so far it's the only thing that has gotten my hair as light as I want it (lighter than in my pic). I used the permanent color but they do have semi permanent, too.
