I have stripped out my pink and am left with a horrible orange colour. I need to bleach bath my roots next week when i plan to colour my hair (i haven't decided what colour yet)
In the mean time i wanted to experiment with toning, i am not expecting white, but something to neutralise this peachy orangey bleached colour until next week.
At home i already have the following: provoke purple shampoo, directions violet and atlantic blue, i assume blue is best? Also what kind of quantity mixed with conditioner?
I am not sure what i am expecting, but i am happy to experiment!
(the attached picture is before i did a bleach powder with shampoo and oils, then top right is after and bottom right is today after second application-what i have now)
You could try the atlantic. Ideally I'd say you need a slightly greeny blue because of the pink tone in the orangey peach. I'd try a strand test first though.

I have got some spring green which i could mix with it?
Oh, yeah, you could try that. Just a little.
My honest thoughts are though, the colour you have could grow on you and I think trying to tone it is going to give you a not so lovely colour.
Good point, i could end up with something worse, i guess i don't like it because i think it looks like that kind of orangey bleached colour.
Maybe i should just concentrate on thinking about what colour i am going to dye next week.
It definitely doesn't look bleached colour! It looks like it was on purpose. I have the bright yellow bleached colour at the moment from orange staining and it's driving me nuts! Trying so hard to get it out as much as possible as I want to go peacock greens and blues again 🙂
Thank you. I'm sure you're rocking it though!!
I was looking at your timeline earlier, you always have such amazing colours.
I wish I could say I am rocking it! It made my hair look like doll hair! I've just toned it actually, I hate the ashy blonde it's come out, but it's better than the bad yellow! I did think about using a proper yellow over it, but I don't want to risk even more staining.
This is very similar to the colour my hair has faded too only lighter. I agree that i don't think toning would be a good idea.. To make it more even I'd personally wash your hair with some Head & Shoulders & leave the shampoo in for 10 mins wash it out & do a normal shampoo with it straight after then condition, it'll fade it a little more too.
