I totally give up π
Going from dark dyed brown for years, 3 colour b4, toning, and now a bleach bath and no difference to the ends π
Now i have a bit of strawberry blonde roots at the front around my face , dark gingery brown hair plus mu natural roots in places. I have obviously done a uneven job. It doent look that bad well i dont think so but we'll see in natural light tomorrow. Its still pretty dark at the lengths. I totally give up now!!
What best to do i can either tone it with a blue toner or use purple shampoo or can dye over with medium ash blonde. I cant even go a light brown let a lone blonde. Ive really had enough now so my hope of going blonde or lilac or purple is impossible so have decided to go more like my natural colour
If i were to do any of the above can i do them tomorrow π
It will take more than one bleach bath to get to light blonde, going from dark to light takes time and patience. A bleach bath will only lift by a shade or two at most
It is entirely possible that your ends are permanently stained too. Have you tried a full strength bleach on a strand test? Did the ends lift at all on the bleach bath strand test? If it won't lift then a permanent dye isn't going to help either.
Can you post a pic, it will be much easier to advise.
You might not have kept your hair warm enough then. Or, you kept the strand too warm. It shouldn't be more than body temp. If it's too hot the bleach will work too well.
I'm not sure why you think its so bad though. Ok, so you have roots, but it all looks fairly even.
Aahh yes i must of put the strand to warm! If i lift my hair up the baby hair at the front is a strawberry blonde so looks a lot more uneven. Im tempted to just put a brown dye all over it but that too will probably looks a mess and be uneven because i now have 3 different colours or shades and probably more . Why dod i start??
