QuoteReplyTopic: Tone hair, but not white! Posted: May 30 2014 at 2:57pm
Hi!
I've recently bleached my hair (it was dyed red/orange before) and it still has some yellow in it, which didn't bother me before, but now I'm thinkink of dyeing it pastel blue... So I have to get rid of the yellow.
My hair looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63ajb46qa2hd5sc/hair.jpg
And I want it like this: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/c6/85/fb/c685fb63b49391f8ebd9ded8026f0a7e.jpg - http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/c6/85/fb/c685fb63b49391f8ebd9ded8026f0a7e.jpg
And NOT like this: http://www.leonbrant.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1//9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/v/i/virgin-snow.jpg - http://www.leonbrant.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/v/i/virgin-snow.jpg
I found this toner by manic panic http://www.amazon.com/MANIC-PANIC-Semi-Permanent-Color-Virgin/dp/B001HNNSIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401476206&sr=8-1&keywords=hair+toner - http://www.amazon.com/MANIC-PANIC-Semi-Permanent-Color-Virgin/dp/B001HNNSIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401476206&sr=8-1&keywords=hair+toner , but I don't want my hair to go completely white. The question is, if I leave the toner for a smaller amount of time, will it work? Or maybe I have to bleach it some more? Or will it turn even more yellow?
Thank you!

VIRGIN SNOW™ is a white toner for bleached
hair… meaning that it is specifically designed for use on hair that is
already bleached to the lightest possible shade. Application of Virgin
Snow™ will remove the yellow/red tones left after bleaching and will
make your hair as white as AndyWarhol's!
VIRGIN SNOW™ can also be used as a mixer.
Looks all the examples of use with Virgin Snow as listed on MP website indicated the people who got the white hair first bleached with their MP Flashlightening bleach kit.
That is some powerful bleach. It really works great. However, make sure you still do a patch test. If you hair is damaged from previous bleach or chemicals there are some reports of the MP Flashlightening causing breakage.
The problem is, when typing "manic panic virgin snow" on google image I see a large amount of various results, and some of them satisfy me, some don't...
(My hair isn't that damaged from bleaching, it's actually pretty strong and gets better everytime I apply conditioner, so there's no problem with that)
I will sure do a patch test IF i buy it, right now I'm not sure... I think I will first bleach it some more, and if it turns out too yellow I will try the toner but rinse it before the time indicated...
Or maybe there are other ways to lighten the hair without turning it too yellow nor going completely white?

Try this link http://www.manicpanic.com/besthaircolor/virginsnow.html
It takes you right to the Manic Panic shop where you can order. You should be able to get it in France? Yes? If not, let me know.
Glad to hear your hair is not damaged from bleaching.
If you cut a few snippets and test, you may be able to bleach it some more but not have it go to yellow. Sometimes its all about timing and how long you leave the bleach on.
Hope that helps. If not, hit me back and I will do more checking.

Thanks! Fortunately, we have manic panic in France (unlike a lot of other fabulous hair products...). I'm buying it, along with Crazy Color's Bubblegum blue and some bleach :D
EDIT: I just found Wella's color charm toner and it seems like exactly what I wanted: http://www.sallybeauty.com/wella-hair-color/SBS-800275,default,pd. - http://www.sallybeauty.com/wella-hair-color/SBS-800275,default,pd.html . I bought this one!

Wella makes really nice colors. Thanks for sharing your scoops on Crazy Color. Good luck with your coloring project.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
