sounds like the bleach at the roots wasnt left on for long enough, and the toners have grabbed on to the porous ends..... bleach the roots again, but to be honest i wouldnt fanny around with the ends. if they are that porous, they are obviously quite damaged. It will wash out after a few shampoos (NOT the silver one) xxx

 

[lauren89]

Thanks for the reply.
I've bleached them twice already so really dont want to bleach it again. I've just dried it properly and the very root of my hair is white and just below is orange. X

hmm tricky one.....ill judge better from a pic. have you used anything different on your hair lately product wise? some can put a barrier on the hair and prevent colours from taking properly....?....? xx

 

[JoJo1980]

also, maybe your peroxide has gone off? was the lid on tight, i could have lost its strength through oxidising in the bottle. xx

 

[lauren89]

It was a brand new bottle of wella peroxide and brand new tub of bleach. I havn't used anything different.

officially baffled
only other thing i can think of is hormones. not to pry, but if you are taking any meds, or maybe your hormones are inbalanced for some sort of reason...... if youre doing everything alse the same and its worked before, maybe the reason is internal? xxx

 

[lauren89]

Ahh I've just gone on the contraceptive injection. I didn't even think of that. X

I think we have our answer! now, what to do! I would probably give it one last bash, on the roots only! and leave the ends, the toner will wash out quick. if you want to tone, just tone the roots and be careful not to get any on the ends xxxx

 

[lauren89]

Thanks hun. I'll give it a go. Do you think I should maybe find an alternative way of doing it next time because it's not going to be good bleaching it for that long every 4 weeks. X

well, in my experience, the injection can really put hormones out of whack. its difficult to say wether it will settle down, or you will continue having problems. I would say stop doing it yourslef for the time being, and get in to a good salon for a full head of foils, multi tonal blonde. they'll last longer than 4 weeks and you have some help if things dont go to plan! xxx

You could b pregnant ;-)

You could b pregnant ;-)

that was my thought too but i reckon its the injection xx

Eeee no defo not lol.

Well I didn't dare touch it again and didn't think I would get an even result, so I got my friend to come and have a look (she's also a hairdresser)
We ended up weaving some of the blonde touching up the orange with bleach 3% and flooding inbetween the foils with 7b on the roots and 7bg on the ends.
It looks really nice now.

We're going to service swap from now on so hopefully no more disasters.

Thanks for all your help everyone xx
