Learned a valuable lesson + question for you guys

Guest · 2014-03-21T02:41:45Z

So I just bleached my roots and then did a conditioner diluted mix to get a light shade I wanted. However, I found out that the conditioner does work as a diluter, but you have to brush on EVERY single swipe. You can't just smush the hair color or squidge (stole that word from this board and love it, so thanks!) it down from the roots to the ends, once the conditioner "creams" it blocks the dye, even though it's IN it! So basically, if you place the conditioner with dye in it, carefully on dry hair, it will stain it. But once you get it 'conditioned' it's just totally blocked. SO now I have a lot of blonde streaks, which is kind of ok, and it also didn't take on the roots at all for some reason (idk why). I did get a nice pastel shade but I found this verrrryyy difficult and kind of unexpected since I have used conditioner diluted hair dyes before, just not on a full head. I'm definitely going to have to do it again just to get some of the streaks more even.Soo my question is, have you guys ever used color diluter and is it worth it? Should I go that route next time and will it work better? I like some streaks but there are some uncolored chunks too. Thanks!

I dilute with water instead of conditioner. A little bit of color into a bowl of water, stick my head in, massage it in for a couple of minutes and then rinse. Works well for pale pastels. Just make sure that the dye blends well with the water, maybe dilute it with a couple of tablespoons of water before pouring it in. And you might get water into your ears 😉
