Hey, just wanted to let anyone who's wondering know - my hair turned out fantastically! I'm very proud of it and wanted to share the steps I used to get it the way it is!

1. First I bleached my hair from a dyed light brunette with 30vol for 45 minutes. The resulting color was a light orange-yellow.
2. A few days later, as my hair was still in good condition, I bleached it a second time with 20vol for 45-60 minutes to a light yellow.
3. Two days later I toned my hair for 45-60 minutes with Wella T18 White Lady toner. This worked so much better than Clairol Extra Light Platinum 323d which had very little effect at all.

I'm so proud of the results!

First bleaching:


Second bleaching with toner:

I bleach my hair with 20 volume. Takes about 90 minutes as my hair is about a level 2-3. I use Wella color charm T-10 as a toner. I use Shiny Silver Ultra shampoo and Ion effective treatment from Sally's. Also really like theJohn Freida conditioner.

My hair's in decent shape right now, but I'm still dying to bleach and tone it white! I've put it off for much longer than usual because I want to do it right this time! A few quick questions:

1. Still wondering - which is the healthiest way to go blonde? Building highlights over time or just bleaching once and using protein treatments?

2. If I bleach, should I use a low 20 volume developer multiple times or try to do it all in one go with a higher level?

3. What are your product suggestions for repairing bleached hair?

Thank you very much!!
