I think I posted in the wrong section before, apologies if I'm double posting, I'm new so...Hi everyone, thanks for looking to help-I'm desperate to get this right!
Natural hair color: medium brown
Current color: light very ashy blonde-sandy looking,warm beige,gray/green
I started my journey to white platinum blonde over 6 months ago, and am constantly left either too brassy or too ashy. Right now my hair is a light, very ashy blonde, I really want the white platinum look. My coworker uses 30 minute bleach, followed by wella t-18 (white lady) toner mixed with 20 volume. She applies it damp and leaves on for about 15 minutes.
I started using t-18 because other wella toners we have at the salon don't get that white I'm looking for, always left with brass. Hours on the Internet, everyone raves about wella t-18.
I wonder if I am leaving the toner on too long...but if I don't I am stuck with the dreaded brassiness. Should I be using a different bleach? We have Blondor and one other. Is 30 minutes bleaching not enough?...it always looks the pale banana color after. A different toner? We always put the toner on all over, is this a mistake? We've done a bleach cap and applied toner, it helps slightly but just keeps darkening my hair. Looking for a solution before I give up and I really don't want to after all this work...thanks.
