It sounds like your roots weren't light enough. You could try bleaching them again but be careful and keep a watchful eye on them!Thumbs%20Up

Ok, so that didn't work. I tried the same 10A color mixed with 20vol last night (and some unred again), left it on for 40 min and they're still apricot-y. Not a horrible color or anything, just more golden than the rest of my hair despite my attempts.
 
Any other suggestions??

I think you should try using the 20 vol with the 10A, as 10 vol is maybe not enough to lift that last remaining yellow from your roots.

Hi all!  So, I'm hoping some of the vast knowledge of this board can help me out! I've been bleaching my hair (initially from red, though my natural color is medium brown) since October and overall, it's a nice cool light blonde. My problem is touch ups. I can NEVER get my roots to match my hair.
 
So, last night, here's what I did:
 
1. I used wellite on-scalp bleach mixed with 40 vol developer (I have really strong hair) and left it on for about 30 minutes  up to that banana yellow stage.
 
2. I rinsed and applied a neutral protein filler, trying to concentrate on the roots and left on for 20 minutes.
 
3. I applied Clairol Pro Premium Creme in 10A (a light cool blonde with purple base), mixed with 10vol dev and some unred. I left this on for 30 minutes.
 
When I rinsed out, it didn't seem to have much effect on my yellow roots, so now I have this blonde 2-tone thing going on. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix it? Were my roots not light enough? Do I need to bleach longer? Do I need to use a different kind of "toner"? I admit, I'm kind of confused as to what to look for at Sallys when looking for a toner since only a handful of products actually say "toner" on them and those seem to cater to the ultra light blonde (which I currently am, but am prob going to start trying to take it to more of a medium ash blonde soon). DO I need to use 20vol developer instead (again, my hair is super strong despite all the abuse I've heaped upon it, so maybe its resistant?)
 
Anyway, any help anyone can give on my root situation would be much appreciated! I literally go through this every 3 weeks and it's frustrating!!
 
Thank you Thank you Thank you Smile
