[Sticky] Colour B4 Information

Sooooooooooo, I need a bit of help.

I don't dye all my hair, only a portion (About 1/4 of my hair is dyed) I'm worried that I'm bleaching my hair too often. (I only started dying my hair a year ago. It started a small strip, but I always wanted more, so I just continued to bleach it almost every time before I redyed it.)

As of right now, I have a few different faded colors. I had originally dyed part of my hair pink and part of it blue. The pink is completely gone now, leaving just the bleached blonde/whiteish color(I last dyed it about 2 1/2 maybe 3 months ago with a semi dye) but the blue faded to a green. Some of the green is turquoise and very light, but in the very front, I have a kinda dark, nastyish green.

I was going to try colorb4 to get it out, but there's a few things I'm worried about:
1. Would it lighten or mess up my non dyed hair/Roots?
2. Is it hard to use by yourself? (My friend and I usually dye our hair together. She does mine and I do hers. But as of now, she's on a trip, and I really want to try and rid myself of the green now.)

I know it may not even work that well, but I'm just really worried about my non-dyed hair.

Colour b4 doesnt affect natural hair, so it'll do nothing to your roots. It doesn't lighten hair at all, it removes unnatural pigments.

It's basically like spreading shampoo through your hair. You don't need anyone else to help. Just make sure you spread it well.

So it shouldn't matter if it gets in the Sections that arent dyed? Im thinking of just putting it in all of my hair then, it'd probably be easier then trying to spot every stray piece.

Yeah, it won't matter. But it is quite drying, so,it might be worth avoiding putting it all over, it it getting on natural hair is fine, so no harm if it does get covered.

Used Decolour Remover today on my turq/purple/pink and it's done a pretty good job! I don't have a before pic, but the colours were all pretty newly topped up. Now I have a quite pretty mix of pastels and even some silver!

It looks rather darker in the photos though, annoyingly.

I was never all that happy with the purple, never liked Purple on me anyway. But I was hoping it would make me happy in the peacock colours, and I sort of did like it. But then it just took over too much no matter how careful I was!
I'm going for either flamingo pink, bubblegum blue and something else or a pink and hi octane orange... Or something!

Yeah, it really shocked me as originally the purple bit was about 2cm thick, now it's about 6cm and had turned a far bit of the turquoise to a true blue! Of course, the green was I history within about a week and a half, stripped just that and covered it with pink which obviously got more and more purple toned... Just not what I wanted. Ah well, live and learn lol

I'm definitely leaning toward doing blue, pink and orange... But I'm going to live with the for a while as I want to see how much I like being pastellish. I didn't think I'd like it at all because I like bright jewel colours mostly, at the moment though, I think I'm changing my mind. Not sure how well itll go with my clothes though as everything is strong colours!

Yeah, I suspect I'll be the same πŸ˜€ I still have the thought in the back of my mind to order some more decolour to fade out some more, so obviously not too attached this. I only did it today because my hair was in desperate need of a wash, I was going to wait until I'd got some more in a couple of weeks. By I thought sod it and did it. Meant I had to work later into the evening though lol only just finished in fact!
