So I've now adjusted the color of one weft. It's by no means a
huge change (I'd show you pics but once again my husband has
'misplaced' the camera). But I'd say the hair was roughly a 1B/2
to start with (definitely not jet black). My hair is more in the
2-4 range. So I got a rubber made tub and thinned out the
developer 2 parts 20 volume to 1 part water and then used my trusty
powder bleach. 5 minutes developing (I made a whole fricking lot
of bleach and just dumped it on) then lots and lots and lots of
rinsing. Then shampoo, then two different conditioning
treatments. Hair smells like the conditioner now. Is got a
nice soft wave and some natural highlights to it. It's hard for
me to see my own hair against it in the natural light (I don't have
enough hands) but it looks dead on in the bathroom lighting and it's
clearly just a pinch lighter than the virgin weft I left in natural
light. Which hopefully means its perfect. Now I just need
to figure out how to sew this weft to my head. It's gonna
be just a tad different than with a those huge wawa wefts.
then a little gule at the top and boom new hair. I feel naked,
wish I didn't have so damn much work to do.
okay I think in fact we are all on the same page just not quite communicating effectively.
bleach + peroxide(developer) = bleaching
I have some good quality powder bleach. It may or may not
be kaleidocolors it hasn't come out to play in a while. I've used
that before...
I'd rather not do permement color with say a 30 or 40 vol developer in
order for it to lighten. If I'm going to have to redeposit color
I'd rather do it double process so I at least know what I'm working
with. SInce I have no experience with this hair. I'm not sure if
when I lighten I'll want to use an ashy color, or golden, or whatnot
til i see how it lightens... then maybe I'll do single process.
It has kinda a stong almost dandruff shampoo smell to it. haven't
washed it yet to see what happens. It struck me as a pesticide
smell when i first got the hair. like they had poured some
delousing solution over the hair and not washed it out particularly
well.
You should be able to use permanant color you are thinking of demi and semi color that will just deposit but regular coloris mixed with the peroxide and lifts and deposits it is just what you want when your not going for blond.
Edit to ask you dose your fina hair smell funny. I just did the conditioning treatment that Amm told me to try and still smells!

Try that Clairol Kaleidocolor powder in the beige package. It will lighten dark hair up to 5 shades without processing it to death. It works great - lightens yet leaves the hair just as soft as before.
Okay I haven't done anything yet cause i"m lazy. I figured after
I found a process I liked I'd do small batches. But I don't see
how it could possibly be that hard to make a whole lot of bleach, put
the hair in a bowl/bucket/you understand and the pour the bleach on in
under 30 seconds.
Kalika - In my experience all lightening requires bleaching. I
can't put deposit color on it and expect it to lighten. If you
have another idea please let me know.

I am going to lighten my Fina hair one level. Hopefully I'm not
giong to lighten it 3 or 4 or 6. But it should be good and
stubborn and five minutes in bleach should be enough. DOn't worry
I'm not so crazy as to not do a strand test.
