First, a little background.  My hair is too dark after many years of dyeing and messing up on one dark color.  So, I applied Color fix to the top layers and this did not do too much.  Anyway, my base color is a 4 with deep red undertones (kind of like Irish Settter) and I am looking for light brown highlights to apply and eventually incorporate all over.

Here is what I did..  After multiple test strands, I used 45 developer on my gray hair arond my temples and under my bangs for approx 5 minutes, then applied a Miss Clairol Moonhaze and 45 developer 1:1 mix and left on for approx 10 minutes.  This worked perfectly.  Gray turned a nice light brown (no red at all). 

Then, I bleached a few strands for highlights with powder bleach and 45 peroxide for 1 hour and only got to a light orange color.  Too scared to leave on longer.  Then, I applied Redkens EQ 6N color to tone the hightlights and voila... Perfect light brown highlights that blend into the base color nicely.  

Question?  How can I bleach to get a yellow color (inside bananna)? I have used Wellight and Powder mix with peroxide and only get to the orange?  Thanks...

Very happy now...
