hello!

My hair is black, and i had some streaks put in professionally by a hairdresser.
She was able to lift my hair to a dark ash blonde

and put an ash toner on it.
She told me I could go back to her (with a charge of course ) to get it lighter or "do it myself" ... So i desided to do it myself because they're very tiny streaks..
I've picked up some of this

 (as per the drug store lady) But im wondering what will happen.
has anyone used this before?
Should i go grab an actual Dye to put on after?
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Get some bleach if you can at Sally Beauty.  If you try this product then strand test first to see what will happen or rather how long to leave it on before you get your desired color.  Bleach lasts for about 90 min.  However you must make sure it's not old, or it may not work properly.  It also needs to be the right consistency and also spread on your hair evenly to work.  Don't dye after, but use a toner. 
 
Good luck!

Well i read this after.
I don't have a sally beauty here ( i live in canada)
I put on 3 applications of it in a 2 days ( for 60 minutes as the box suggested ) to lift it to about pale yellow color.. and then put a pale natural blonde toner on it.
It turned out great,
I know my hair is very hard to lift.. & i wasn't expecting to be able to lift it as much as i did. I'm very happy!

don't do it ...it won't come out the way you want it too...all you need really is 30 volume creme developer the activator a brush bowl foils rat tail comb with the metal end...after you bleach it then you use toner..section off area into rectangle on top of head...butterfly clip it..section by ears..clip section back into two sections...then take end of rattail...take 1/4 section split into two...take the comb use the weaving method on half of section that was split...weave up and down ...this is for most natural method...if you do the entire rectangle on top and sides.....and tone after if necessary it will all blend together...take note to even porosity on hair use a leave in conditioner spray....spray 6-8 inches away from your head onto dry hair...it will make the highlights come out even or if you want to spend money you can purchase this great stuff from Paul Brown...that evens the lifting process hope this helps you some tips i have from cosmetology school
