Hey everyone,
I need your help. I'm trying to go blonder (right now it's like a dirty blonde..brown with highlights), and don't want to go get them done at a salon again. (In the area where I live they're ~$150 and I need to get them done every 2 months..) I was thinking of getting a friend to do them for me.
I was thinking about buying:
- L'oreal Platinium Plus
- L'oreal Platinium Nutri-Developer 20 Vol. (my hairdresses usually use 20 volume on me and it lifts to a really pale blonde)
I really, really need your input, as I am looking to order online asap! (in fact, they're waiting in the shopping cart right now..)
My questions for you are:
- how long should i leave the bleach in? exactly when do i know it has lifted and isn't yellow?
- what ratio of bleach/developer should i use? Instructions for the product online say to use either a 1:1 to 1:3 paste/developer ratio...that's a pretty big range so i'm really not sure.
- what kind of toner should i buy? my hairdresser last month didn't use a toner and the highlights were pretty, but I want to get a toner just in case it turns more yellow/brassy than i'd like it to be
If you have other suggestions in terms of products I should buy instead, please let me know. I've had hairdressers use goldwell on me before and wella. However, with l'oreal I noticed a LOT less damage after highlighting than in the past.
Pleaaaaase let me know as soon as possible!
