I'm just going to keep trying till I get it right. My hairdresser is
going to hate me. She says I have color build up on the ends, but hell,
those are getting cut off anyways. Hairs hair... blah

Oh, I remember another Canadian who had the same problem. She
used to get her colorfix and other beauty supply stuff online at http://www.folica.com
They don't offer what I'm used to seeing as far as dye, but you can get some extra stuff there.

I suppose it is just bothering me... Im in Canada,they don't allow you
to shop at beauty stores unless your a hairdresser, I think. I should
go check it out.
I tried to once when I was younger get BLUE hairdye but the woman
wouldn't sell it to us, she said that I had to be a hairdresser to
purchase it, maybe it was just the blue dye. Hmmm... so if I could go
to a beauty store could I get something to help process my roots
better? perhaps?
I can't help you much with this issue, but if you live in the U.S. you
should be able to shop at sally or other beauty supply shops.
They just ask you when you check out if you have their Sally card (that
hairdressers have for discounts) and if you don't you just pay what's
on the price tag. (I know the rules are different in the UK, if
you live there).
In my unprofessional opinion, it sounds like the parts of your hair
nearest your head (including the parts halfway down) aren't getting as
processed as the ends got. My hair would get like this
periodically when I was platinum, because the roots weren't lifting
quite as much as the ends had before, so I periodically pulled my
violet based dye through the darker parts of the hair, then on all the
hair for a much shorter time to help even it out every once in
awhile. Frankly, I didn't worry about it overmuch, and from your
photo I don't think you really need to worry about it unless it bugs
you...no one would probably notice the change halfway down if you
didn't point it out to them. (I see it now that I read your post,
but I didn't see it before when I just looked at the picture).

This is actually a good picture to show the multitones
in my hair and what I'm trying to erase... as you can see I have lovely
roots. Black... hmmm charmin, however from there you see a darker,
reddy blonde which extends half way down my length and then the rest is
a light ash blonde (which I'd love to have all over but I can't seem to
get it the same color.)
I always seem to fix the problem for a short while but somehow the
roots always turn reddy-blonde after a week or so. I don't know why. I
figured the color is merely WASHING away from my hair. But I don't
think it should because those parts aren't bleach processed. (not a
blonding bleach, maybe whatever is in blonde haircolors....). I've
tried Cool Blonde, Extra Light Ash Blonde (which works for only a
week.) Ash Blonde, Light Blonde... I have no idea. Again everythign I
do is from a box, and I can't get any products from Sally's or a Beauty
Store (as I'm not a hairdresser)... Is there a shampoo with color
depositing properties that I could use to keep the ash in?
