Black to a light base HELP?
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 11:17 pm
Hi everyone, ive been dying my hair for years, i know my way around hair stuff quite well, but want some advice.
I was turquoise, then bright red for about 3 years, all over, then decided i wanted a change and went to purple.
Biggest mistake ever and im still upset now about it.
I used pimpin purple and it was horrendous, i came out brown / maroon, worst colour ever!
It was applied correctly on bleached hair that was even and super light!
I had so much tourble fixing it and trying to get the right shade.
In trying to correct it I changed it too many time in a short space of time and ruined my hair.
Gave up and went back to turquoise. But the damage was done.
It was so long and in good condition
So in december i went back to black to give it a break, didnt want to do it, but i had take action so cut loads of my hair off. Its had 8 or so months, lots of trims! And its alot better now, but i cant stand the black anymore.
I want to avoid bleach as much as possible because i dont want to risk my hair getting ruined again, as im not sure if 100% of the damamge is gone, even though ive had lots of it cut off.
I had a plan to try and budge the black, and wanted advice on if any of you think it will work or have experience.
I had it bright for so long i only ever had my hair lightened from black twice professionally, first time was rubbish, second time another girl did a great job, but i want to try sort this myself.
Ive been reading endless reviews on colour b4 and decolour stripper
I gathered decolour stripper has the better reviews but im dubious.
I dont expect it to be a perfect even colour and super light.
My plan is to apply to use clarifying shampoo and washing up liquid for a week, use no conditioners or styling products, or straightneing irons etc.
Then to apply decolour, twice, then use an ash blonde toner over that to banish as much orange as i can.
My hair hasnt been dyed since june so have longish roots, would have to bleach those, but would use a bleach bath, which is what ive always used, ive never straight bleached.
Any on advice on whether this could work?
I would love to be able to go back to turquoise, but i know ill need a pale base for that, so if i cant do that red will cover orange.
I dont expect miracles from these products at all, which is why i would be graeful on advice of the best was to utilise them in a good combo to get me closer to where I wanna be.
Thanks xx
