Hey fellow geeks :hug: I'm new here so please bear with!
I am currently studying hairdressing at my local college so i do have some limited knowledge of colour correction. However my query relates to myself and not a client so don't panic!
I am base 06 and recently went from dark brown to blonde after six months of growing/fading out my old colour. i had full head highlights with bleach then couple weeks later did a bleach bath which lightened very well, then put a few scattered bleach foils in and put ash blonde tint all over (apart from foils) and had about five inches chopped off. About a week later I decided i wanted to be candy floss pink (amelia lily style) so diluted crazy colour pinkissimo with conditioner and applied full head. Looked great. I then did this twice more once it faded a little, and then left it to wash out (as only supposed to be semi) but it wasn't fading past a dirty pinky gross colour :grr: so used colour b4 (doh!) to try and strip the pink out as washing wasn't working but hardly made any difference anyway (because semi colour molecule different therefore not affected by colour b4??? or perhaps cuticle staining could be the cause???)
ANYWAY lol, i now want to go back blonde as i am a still this nasty shade of murky pink at the mo and really fancy 'pearl' shade of blonde. Going to do it myself so can anybody suggest the products and/or technique i need to use to get this? Not sure my hair would take any more all over bleach so perhaps high lift tint then tone, but i'm not aware of which products are available that do that particular shade - kinda platinum but with a pearl finish?!
Btw, my college use wella professional but I don't necessarily need to do it with their products, so any brand suggestions welcome
Any tips greatly appreciated!
