QuoteReplyTopic: hebal essence bleach blonde Posted: July 03 2005 at 9:59am
Hi there - i had my hair highlighted in a salon about 3 months ago - my hair is naturally around a level 6 i think?; the undercolor is still a 6 but the sylist touched it up while my blonde highlights were brewing because i have a few greys (boo). the stylist did a super platinum highlight as well as some light blonde.
last month i touched up my crown with a dark blonde over the counter (preference) which went fine....now i'd like my crown blonder...like a level 10. the problem is that even on my virgin roots the lift with regular color was brassy. i know i need to bleach first..so really my longwinded question is can i use a drugstore "bleach" like the herbal essence one first then follow with another permanent color ..... i did a strand test on my darkest parts with the herbal essences and it's orange city. better to bleach to a lighter color then color or tone...or just color from the orange?
thanks!

I think it might be easier to just get dye from the BSS. Get a
light ash blonde and 30 volume developer if the in-box 20 isn't working
for you. Of course, this would only work on the crown. If
you wanted to take that level 6 lighter, you would need to bleach and
then use a toner. But if you only want to do the crown, then it
would probably be easiest to just use dye and 30 volume and get it all
done in one step. Definitely choose a color with a violet or
blue-violet base, depending how brassy your hair is (blue=more ashy).
Good luck!
