So its bleach? You may want to try something else first such as ColorFix (a low peroxide way to remove dye without such harshness). You can probably buy it online if they don't have it where you bought the bleach. Bleach may work, but even that you should test strand a small amount on hidden hair before using on your whole head to be sure it will work and won't be too damaging. (Also I can't tell you how to mix it, I don't even know what it is, the instructions might give me a hint if they say anything at all?). Just for your info, it sounds like your hair is getting more and more porous from repeated dyeing damaging it, that is why it came out blacker the last time. Your porous hair absorbed more of the dark pigment. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

The packet says blue powder bleach so yeah guess its a bleach, instructions are in a different language not english the only line it does say is mix with a developer , .. and sadly yes my hair will be porous with constantly using dyes, although its not black its very dark brown too dark not for my pale skin lol , im trying to find the colour fix by loreal on ebay did have the link but lost it again , but im going to try it even if lifts it slightly so its a warmer brown instead of black/brown
Thanks :) ------------- Heavensent67 |

Good luck! If you did decide to try that bleach in the future, my guess is you would mix it half and half with developer, but I don't know which level of developer, and I am not sure about that. You can ask that question on the Hair Color board here though, and someone there is likely to have used the same product and may know what works.

Hair to dark when dealing with decoloration you should always do a strand test first. some browns have a green base what shade to you want to be and what base color was your loreal and expresso. rember when dealing with a chemical you should always seek professional advice.go to a professional salon who not only will rectify your color but will also care for you hair ------------- CYNTHIA STELLY |

HI, Seem like you are determined to color your hair . first when you want to make a color change to lighten you must always use a higher develpoer. A 9% only will deposit that is why your grey covered but the rest of you hair remain dark. Seen we see you are determine to lighten your hair do a strand test in the lower crown area, use instant whip using 20 volume peroxide the cream one follow manafactor direction in mixing the product only a small section in the lower crown.I said to you in the first E-mail the condition of your hair means a lot so when you step into a professional you walking on thin ice so i will do mine best in guiding you. once you have complete your strand test you want to note the time and shade or level of color.Now choose the desire shade in with you want to be.For you desire color try loreal richesses semi -permanent color that is a professonal line of hair coloring .there is also a product call BAC-STAT it is excellent for over work damage hair . May sure you use something to balance your hair back to a heathy state. ------------- CYNTHIA STELLY |
