Angry !! I just returned my oxidized T14 Silver Lady toners and exchanged it for another one. I asked the sales lady to make sure that its okay and she said  its fine. I double check myself when I got home and it was BROWN. WHAT THE HELL. How frustrating. The toner shouldn't be brown in color right? Ahh !! Im gonna have to exchange again I guess. </end vent>

Grr. Now Im still stuck with yucky pale yellow hair.

Bebex: isn't it frustrating?! I would try and use that White Lady that you bought because I think the Wella is concentrated and thus darker? Maybe I'm thinking of the color though. Look at the instrustions and see if it instructs to use it 1:2 (one part colour to 2 parts peroxide). That means it's concentrated -- but I don't know if that should make it dark in colour. Uggh. To be safe, get yourself some purple/violet shampoo like Clairol Shimmer Lights so you can wash away the yellow! It works!
Love clip-ins and tape!

thank you! and yes, i use white lady.

the toner is sort of a clear brown color, but if it's dark brown/purple before you mix it with developer then it's no good!

nooooo not brown!! you're so close already, why not just go get a new toner?!

i use a creme developer, so the color at first is whiteish but shortly after it begins to turn purple.

Awwwww, you're welcome Bebe. So sorry you had to dye a bit darker, but the light brown will fade and you can always add in a few highlights once they do! If you do that, you can play with some toners to get a feel for what works. Hope you enjoy your colour!
