How do I get my hair more blonde without it going orange?

Question

My hairs blonde on top and a kinda dark blonde underneath. My cousin came up today she got the orange out thank god but its not the blonde I want. She is also a professional hair dresser. She said if I bleach it again it'll go back to orange and I'll be back where I started she also said the if I want it blonde I'll have to get strikes through it every so often so it'll go blonde more naturally. But I don't wana wait cause I reeeeally dont like it. So whats the best way to go blonde without going orange? thanks =]

Answer 1

Take her advice she is a proffessional...there really isnt any way to do it without going orange. You should get a lot of highlights every couple months and that will get you to the light blonde that you want. I know you probly dont like your hair and want to get blonde asap but trust me it is not worth damaging your hair over. If you keep bleaching it and such in a short period of time...than your haiar will be ruined....Do it gradually...and within maybe 4-6 months youll haave the hair you want! Good luck! :)

Well, I am a hairdresser too and I have never heard of your hair color being blonde than if you bleach it more go back to orange.. That is not a real thing.. This is how hair color goes.. The color stages are: Black, brown, brown/red, red, red/orange, orange, orange/yellow, yellow, yellow/white, white. When you bleach the hair you take color out... there is no way bleach can put color back in.. I will tell you this though If you pull out too much color your hair will pick up the base of the product you are using.. This is how your hair turns green or green/gray or silver.
If you want your hair lighter and it is pretty light now this is something pretty safe you can do on your own.. Go to sally's beauty supply and get some on the scalp bleach, wella is a good brand.. Then wet your hair good, towel dry. In a bowl mix some bleach with your shampoo til it is kind of a wet paste and little drippy... Then put it on your hair and WATCH it.. To see the color better when you are checking it just wipe off a patch of hair and look.. When you think it might be light enough rinse, wash with shampoo only and rinse again. Make sure you have a good conditioner on hand and use it... If it is still not light enough repeat... But beware if you over process it to much you may damage your hair so bad that when you try to put color back into it,,, it will not take it.. I have seen this before.. not good.

I don't understand what strikes is at all but I am thinking it a cap or foil frosting???? If you want blonde hair everywhere you don't need to do this but if you want blonde on blonde highlights than yes this would be a good idea....

I hope this helped a little..Good luck

totally agree with Darlene, I'm a colour technician, your hair will not revert to orange, it's not possible, Greyish silver perhaps, orange no.
If you really want it lighter then do as previously suggested buy bleach from Sally or failing that find a salon who use Redken colours and ask them to bleach it again for you. Redken bleach will lift anything.
Be warned though your hair may well end up in seriously bad condition after all this colouring and you may have to have a fair bit cut off to make it look better.

Answer 5

what you opt for to do first is get bleach, theres a fantastic one at sally's elegance provide observed as radical bleaching kit. and also %. up some toner contained in the colour you opt for. use the bleaching kit and then after your performed starting to be that out blend the toner with some developer (u may also get that at sally's for like $2 or something) and placed it on your head for a way lengthy it says do not use 40 volume developer although reason or you may want to placed it on and take it off in the prevailing day. solid success.

Answer 6

Have a professional do it, it will need to be lighterned over time so I am afraid your going to have to wait simply because the colour cannot lift straight away without going wrong. Whatever you do, don't do it yourself, thats asking for it to go wrong, seek the help of a professional such as your cousin

Hope this helps

Answer 7

for me it depends upon the girl. Like I might see a girl with black hair as well as think she is totally hot but see a girl with blond hair that is meh and vice versa.

Answer 8

I was born with blonde hair so i think i look fine thats the way we was born

Your hair sounds gorgeous - leave it as it is!

For that "just left the salon" fragrance...make enemies with a skunk!
