Just be careful, bambilee. It's a powder bleach, so it can be quite powerful and keep checking your scalp so it doesn't burn. 40 volume on me is nothing because I have thick hair and hardy scalp grin. Yea, to go platinum, it took me 3-4 rounds of bleaching just to go platinum, just like ammonia said. Right now, I'm just happy to be just a medium/light blonde. Ammonia, great job with the color. Platinum blonde color is one of the hardest colors to achieve!

thank you beachgerl.. i know this is my 3rd bleaching and i will never go back to a dark color lol it took me so much to reach even this close.. i think one of the best things when your trying to achieve a light blonde is to take risks.. think about what you want more.. to have your healthy hair or have the color hair you want.. because you have to be aware that it will damage your hair.. maybe not alot but it will. in my case i have never been scared of bleachin or dying.. iam careful though. im not going to bleach my hair 2+ times in one day or do all these things all at the same time.. at least take your time, condition your hair and dont wash it so often.. it drys hair out.. i wash it like once a week and before i do anything with chemicals.. i dont wash it for like 2 weeks so the natural oils in my hair can build up to protect my scalp.. when i bleach sometimes my head itches like crazy but nothing i cant handle.. some people might get real scared and wash it off quick but thats why i recommend to do a strand test.

I've tried that site. I am decideing against doing the manioc panic bleach and going for Malibu's White Chocolate choice.
A friend of mine did her hair whtie, white and it was fun for a while
but her hair started breaking off at the root and she had bald patches.
So.. um no thanks. :) I'm staying away from bleach.. :S

Ah.. I only wash my hair every 2nd day. It keeps it from drying out.
And I've already had my hair bleached 9 times so I'm going to stay away
from bleaching. I'd rather have a full head of hair then nice white
hair. ;)
Thankies however everyone.
And Vicky you thought I was from Califorina. hey it starts with a c right?

I just used a Extra Light Ash Blonde by Loreal'... it is similar to the
white choclate shade (It's the same color just not called White
Choclate and by a diffrent brand.). It lightened my reddish roots and
some of the tough spots I had. It looks really good. It's coming along.
And yes I bleached my hair 9 times and I still can't get the color I
want.
I've done it over a period of 2 years. Once myself, three times by a proffesional and then a few times on my own. Ooopsie. LOL.
Anyways, only a couple more trys I think with this Extra Light Ash
blonde and I think I can get my hair almost white. Not too white, cause
I don't want to look bald. LOL.
It looks much better. It's darker underneath. I only use one box so I
keep my underlayers a dark blonde color. I'm gettign there....

It's a little yellow but I'm cool with that. It's like the old barbie hair color. LOL Before the now plantium she has...
yeah it's Loreal's Les Blondissea, or something. It's specifially meant
for and or Go blonde. I've used it before. it works pretty good. The
problem with dying is, it looks good for a day, all freshly dyed and
then it always seems to look so limp and less vibrant the next day.
Crazy!

Bambilee and Ammonia -- I LOVE it! I've been trying for YEARS to get my hair to that color -- not myself but in the salon and they just CAN'T get it right. I show pictures, I talk, talk, talk ... I just don't get it. Way too scared to do it myself but you guys are DEFINITELY inspirational. Gorgeous!
