I love that colour rapture !!! it was my old colour before the hairdressers made me light beigey brown with bits of blonde .

I think it's a beautiful blonde you have happening there.

my advice for you is to use ash blond colors, so it never looks like ash or gray for real, it just looks very light blond, not yellow

Oh no I didn't do it myself. In fact tried bleaching my hair lifting at room tempeature all I got was neon orange hair!! Really scary!!

My highlgihts are done in the salon using foils. She uses bleach and lifts me under the dryer with heat. My hair is so dark so it takes about 20 to 30 minutes with heat to lift me to a pale yellow.Most of the time she doesn't use a toner .I just make sure everytime I go in for a root touchup only that she doesn't overlap my pale blonde because it will break.

Thank you. That's like the color I'm trying to get.
Did you do your highlights yourself? What products did you use if you did?

Okay judging from your picture It is not pale yellow. I wish I had a pic of me because I have pale yellow highlights I will try to look for one so you can have a idea what pale yellow looks like

Purple shampoos Artec for example helps tone down unwanted brassy yellow undertones.

 Have you tried a violet toner? Right now you have a warm gold shade of blonde you want a cool tone blonde. Can't tell with your picture but do you have any red or orange mixed with your gold?

I bleached my hair and now it's light yellow. I don't want yellow hair; I want blonde hair. How do you do that?
