Bleach bath or bleach

[LittleMissTracy]

Hiya,
I'm new here, but I have been searching about bleach baths.
I was going to bleach and tone my hair myself after doing some research as when I last did my hair light blonde from a box dye it went orangey, but this was back in the 80's. I'm wanting to go a light blonde but not platinum, more like Reese Witherspoon
So on another forum, bleach baths were mentioned and I pondered and have thought this maybe the way to go.
I have quite long hair

This is about the nearest to my natural colour but I have a fair bit of grey and colour ever 5-6 weeks.
I have also been putting Coconut oil on my hair and scalp and sleeping in it once a week, and I have some ApHogee protien treatment on the way for my hair preperation although I don't think my hair is in very bad condition.
So some advice please, Before leaping I wondered though how are the roots maintained?
Is a blue bleach the way to go? (thinking of the brassyness)
Are the cheaper brands to stear clear from? (on a budget)
Thanks in advance
Tracy

Please go and see a professional hairdresser or your nearest college which has a hairdressing section.

College students will love doing this, and it'll cost the same as you attempting to buy pro products yourself and snapping all your hair off

When it comes to bleaching the full head and long hair, even if its a bleach bath, leave it to the professionals; I know it can be costly, but it's not as simple as putting it on and washing it off, and you really don't want to damage lovely long hair; get the bleaching done at a college and then maintain it yourself at home x

Ps. It can still go orangey after a bleach bath

Thanks for the suggestion of the college. I'd never considered that
I can look into that provided I can spare the time as I know that they can take a lot longer as they're learning.
Just a question, maintaing roots, isn't this just as difficult to do? Being only the roots and matching the colour.
Thanks again and in advance
