QuoteReplyTopic: Bleach D01 by Garnier 100% Color. Help! Posted: May 13 2005 at 7:21pm
Has anyone tried it before? Does it work well? I'm thinking of using it on my darkish brown hair. I was also wondering about Blondissima. Is it better?

What color are you trying to achieve? And, is your hair virgin (natural, never before colored), or is your hair already dyed and what color? I'm curious about how the Garnier 100% colors work also!
**Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine.
**Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown.
**Length: below shoulder length
I've dyed my hair before using a black shade by Garnier 100% Color. But since my hair was dark before, it looks like the dye has washed out and my natural hair color is back. I'm hoping to achieve a pale blonde or the color inside of a banana using just the bleach without a toner.
Go to a beauty supply instead and get yourself some decent products.
If you don't have virgin hair, you'll have to get colorfix to get your current dye out before you bleach the hair.
For bleaching Wella wellite creamlite is awesome, it lifts 8-9 levels which means that you could go platinum. Use it with 30 volume developer.
If you want to go platinum blonde, bleach untill the hair is pale yellow (like the inside of a banana). Then you'll need a toner to make the hair platinum, wella colorcharm has a lot of great toners in their Colorcharm color line.
You can get these products in a beauty supply or by ordering it online, I promise you it's worth the extra trouble. Because that OTC bleach you talked about will probably only give your bright orange hair.

OTC isn't always crap. I just used the mentioned bleach (Garnier 100% Color D01) and it worked beautifully. My hair is a gorgeous platinum blonde and I feel like a supastar!!!!!!
I highly recommend it!!

I've used Blondissimo beach before. As I have dark brown hair I had to bleach twice to get it to the pale yellow stage. Then toned. My hair was fine after. No brassiness. If you have a Sally's nearby, I don't, Swede's advice is excellent.

i was in sallys and one of the women who worked there said that the loreal bleach is really good. i put blonde highlights into my red hair....it makes the prettiest blonde colors. was told by sallys worker that a colorist comes in there and says that is what they use to get the buttery and the lovely shades of blonde you see on celebrities. it worked for me. hope your hair turns out just like you want it to.
happy coloring

oh, i have seen colors that came out of a box and they looked really good. i was, the first time i colored my hair, going to use a box. my friend had to stop at sallys to get some heat protectant. well, you know the rest....became addicted to sallys....i have a stylist as a friend and went into the professional only place.....that was fun fun...but i would have to agree that not all boxed or what you can get at the grocery store is not crap either, as i have seen some really pretty results....the bleach i was talking about is made by loreal and is called "oreal blanc"....i put conditioner in the bleach mixture and it felt good when i rinsed and i ended up with lovely blonde highlights. hope all works out well. i have such compassion when something goes wrong, i have been there. talk to you later.
