I don't know an awful lot about hair, even though I have plenty of it :).  I just wanted to get a few terms cleared up.

When bleaching hair, what is overlapping and how can it damage the hair?

What is the difference between a tonor and hair dye?

hat are the levels of hair colour?

People usually use toners after bleaching (or sometimes after dyeing I think). They don't change the level of your hair, just change the tone (for instance if its too yellow or brassy, you can use a toner to tone it down and make it more natural looking).  I've never used them either.  They seem to fade from what people say, so if you get the shade you want by using the correct dyes you have less of a problem keeping it looking good.

I answered your question about overlapping in the other post too.  Its just when they do your roots, they overlap if they get bleach on the hair that has already been bleached instead of just the new hair.  A little overlap will happen, because no one is precise to the millimeter, but its better to minimize it.

This page may explain more to you about hair dye, and scroll down to "Levels of Hair Color" for a list of the levels.
