semi over bleach doesn't completely wash out, esp. brown shades, but there will be a lot of fading and in the end it will be stained so u can keep refreshing w/ a semi, like when u touch up the roots u can comb it thru the last five mins or something.
Ok thanks.. I was thinking whatif I had made all these string tests on my own hair this string test is really something good.
do you think if the semi-permanent dye will also cover my gray hair?
Would you name some of good semi-permanent dyes? I want a dye box where I can bye in any store. Do you know "Casting" from loreal?
How long semi-permanat dyes last on hair? 4 to 6 weeks?
My last question is when I bleech now and then use this semi-permanent dye (ash brown) what will happen after some weeks when the dye removes? does it mean that my hair is again like the first day after bleeching and I can dye as I like again? If so this is a good news.

Oh i wasn't trying to help u bleach ur hair actually, the reason i suggested only the bleach powder and shampoo to be used was becuz it helps in removing some of the existing pigment from the hair and then the 30 vol. w/ the color will give u the lift u need, otherwise if u just bleach it then u don't need 30 vol., rather 10 vol. I hope this isn't too confusing
Otherwise if u actually bleach ur hair(meaning developer and bleach), then follow Leia's advice.

You need the developer for the bleach to do anything. It is
possible to just bleach your hair. It will come out a little more
red or orange than you want. You could bleach and tone, meaning
that after you've washed the bleach out of your hair and shampooed to
make sure there is no bleach remaining, you would apply an ash
(blue-toned) dye. The blue will neutralize the orange tone.
My recommendation is to use a semi-permanent color because it will be
more gentle than permanent.
Platin-Blond (blue-dust free) from coiffeur meister
and actually powder with shampoo alone seems not to work because with that developer as I said it got lighter only 2 or 3 levels, so without developer I dont think it works.
Today I made several strand tests using the Blondor powder.
Actually where I bought the powder she told me I have to mix one spoon of the Blondor powder with one spoon of developer(6%) and one spoon of shampoo and 100ml water and I should use it on my hair and wash it immidiately!! I asked if I should wait a little she said no! Acutually I made a strand test and it was really nonsense what she said. no effect!!!
second strand test I mixed one spoon of powder and developer and shampoo together and it got lighter.
third strand test I mixed one spoon of powder with one and a half spoon of developer only ( this time without shampoo) it got really lighter. I mean from level 1 to 6! a little bit orange but not that much I had thought. Actually in this test I let the mixture for 17 min on my hairs. I thought maybe with 12 min I get my desired color I mean light brown (level 5) without coloring it.
what I understood is that the more time I wait it get more lighter but at the same time somehow orange but not much.Do you think if it is possible to go from black to light brown in only one step by bleeching (12 min) ?
What is the best way to do so? I also colored my third strand test with light brown and the color got better but still a little red brown but not much.
I am going to make another strand test tommorrow. one spoon powder and one and a half developer 12 min. Do you think if this is a good way?

It's better to use a color preserving shampoo after coloring then H&S as it tends to strip the color. But w/ the blondor it would be fine, i don't think it will make much difference whether u use a creme or powder version of blondor, creme might be easier to work w/...
Must the Blonder be a creme or powder in this case?
my another question is that after using bleech and washing and again using color+developer to color the hair is it enough to use a normal shampoo like H&S to clean all these chemical substances. For example in dye boxes they usually provide with some special shampoos.
Thank you again..

the "blonder" that you mentioned is a bleach. what veronica is
suggesting is using shampoo instead of the developer, or "oxidant" as
you call it. if the directions on the "blonder" say to mix it a certain
way, with a certain ammount of "oxidant" mixx it the same way, just use
shampoo instead of the "oxidant". this is a less harsh way of
lightening the hair. if you were to use the "oxidant" with your
"blonder" it would more than likely dry out the hair. if you use the
shampoo, it will probably still make the hair feel a little dryer, but
much less than the "oxidant" would.

You said "getting the blondor and mixing the bleach" ? Is this bleach different from blondor? should I also buy it separately?
Did you mean that, I should mix Blondor and Oxidant 30 vol and add shampoo to it and use it on my hairs (so a mixture of Bolonder,Oxidant and shampoo). am I right? But instructions for wella blondor powder say only blondor and oxidants. I am comfused now
Would you also explain what is bleaching and why is it harsher?
Thanks again..

U would have remove some of the existing pigment in ur hair in order for it to lift properly w/ the 30 vol.
I suggest getting the Blondor and mixing the bleach w/ shampoo equal parts and leaving it in ur hair for maybe 15-30 minutes, it is still technically using bleach but a less harsh alternative, it is known as soap capping or a bleach bath.
Then if u see ur hair slightly orange or whatever u can use the 5/0 koleston color w/ the 30 vol. (9%)
I bought today hell braun (Nature) (Koleston Perfect from Wella) the number is 5/00.
I also bought a Oxidations-Creme 9% (30 Volume) (Welloxon Perfect from Wella)
I mixed them up once 1:1 and another time 1:2(twice as much developer) and made two string test on part of my hair.
The color did not changed much and just went from Black to very dark brown or dark brown so only one level
Actually I wanted to get a hell brown but the result is exactly the same as I had tried with polycolor dye box before! fortuenately I only tried a string test this time but the Wella color was rather expensive
Now I don't know what to do. Actually in the store she told me I should also buy a blonding creme and mix it with Oxidation creme 9% and then wash the hair and again mix the hell braun color this time with a Oxidation creme 6% to color it and also cover the gray hair.
Is this blonding creme the same as bleeching?
Do you think if I can do it? or is it a profi job? Please give some hint. Thank you again.

Try to get a dye with instructions. Most permanent colors are 1:1
(one part color to one part developer), but Wella, for instance, is 1:2
(twice as much developer).
I can't tell you exactly what to use, since I can't see exactly what
your current hair color is, but a level 4 or 5 ash dye with 30 volume
developer would probably do it. (Ash colors counteract the red or
orange tones produced by lightening dark hair.) Look for a color
that says it has a base of green or blue. This should leave you
with a neutral medium brown, but do a strand test to be sure.
So should I bye the developer and the dye separately?
My question is how to mix them? How much developer should be mixed with how much dye? I am going first to make a test on part of my hair. So I need an scaling to tell me what amount of each substance should be mixed to gether.
Which colors do you suggest from going black (my natrual hair) to middle brown. Should I bye middle brown or light brown? Should I also add other colors like blue or green to prenvent orange or red?If so what amount of each should be added to make the desired color.
Could anybody help me? I really need your help.
Thank you again!

Sorry, I didn't realize Schwarzkopf was a box dye. Most box dyes
are 20 volume developer...not strong enough for what you wanted.
Definitely visit your local beauty supply store.
About the eyebrows, I'd just leave them. I have dyed my eyebrows
in the past and I found that it lasts no more than 3 weeks...either
because of using soap when you wash your face, or because the eyebrows
have a pretty quick replacement rate - (I don't know which, but they
should be back to normal in about 2-3 weeks).

to be able to get a certain volume developer you would have to go to a
beauty supply store like sally beauty. they sell hair color (either in
cream or gel formula) and then they sell the developer. developers come
in 10volumr (which is usually used to go darker) 20 volume (to change
maybe one or two levels) 30 volume (for changes of more than 2 levels,
but not blonde, i.e. the change you are trying to make) and 40 volume
(usually used to change from darker colors like brown to a lighter
blond color) this is why you should use 30 volume developer. after your
hair grows out, go to the beauty supply store and get the color, the
developer, and an applicator bottle to mix the ingredients in. follow
the directions on the bottle of dye, and mix it up. if you have any
questions, the people at the beauty supply store should prove to be
very helpful.
