Can`t afford stylist - need advice; My hair is naturally medium/dark brown.l Have highlighted for years and totally blonde for a couple yrs. Every stylist (at least 7 different) has trouble with orange/brassiness. I`ve only had it come out successfully ONE time but I was never able to find out what she used. My hair was almost platimum and the roots were a beautiful color, dark greyish/blonde. We have a beauty supply here but I was hoping to get some advice on what to buy...drugstore brands never seem to get the job done. Prefer to touch up/tone in one step like she did. My hair is very strong and has never broken even after multiple bleach treatments. What level developer? How can I make sure there is NO red or orange or dirty yellow tone when I retouch? Th blue inky stuff stained my hair once, so I want to shy away from that! Thanks for your help!

I also was short on cash, but i went to a beauty school and bleached my hair for $11. Cheaper than buying the stuff myself, plus there is an instructor that guides the student so it should turn out perfect. They usually will keep at it until there is no orange.
