Hello hair geeks!!
I've had pink put in my under layers of my hair and I absolutely hate it. I won't bore you with the whole how I got to this point but basically it was craxy colour in cyclamen over bleached roots and highlights on lengths not what I wanted and it was waaaasayyy too dark and illuminous. I have spent three days of extreme cleansing ( usual cheap brand shampoos , leaving them on, crushed up Vitamin c tablets etc ) and in three days I have achieved about a month and a half worth of fading. My hairdresser friend advised a 6% peroxide shampoo mix which I've tested on a strand and it faded to a baby pink. Yay but is that all could a stronger % achieve more?
I've heard not to use bleach as it shatters pigments making in impossible to get out. Would the peroxide shampoo do this too? I had a consultation at tony and guy and the colourist said to chill out, let it fade loads more and he will bleach it out but I'm wary of bleach as an option because of the shattering of pigments thing.
Basically I'm asking here, what do I ask a hairdresser to do and not to do? I'm not intending to do anything professional myself. I just want to be sure I have the best thing done to get my hair so it can be back to blonde highlights at some point.
Thank you for your time xxx
