Is my bleached hair ready for toning ?

I just have to ask what you mean when you say "few wash no chemicals".

What is the end result you actually want? White or light ash blonde?

It says on the bottle that's it will wash out in up to 8 washes. Also an ash blonde not white thanks

Also says no ammonia no peroxide

Right, ok. Just so it's clear in the future, that's not chemical free. Really, everything in the dye is chemicals. I get what you're saying now, but it's very ambiguous as you could have meant no ppd or alsorts. 🙂 for future reference, that's what is known as a true semi.

If it's a level 10 you want, it's too dark to get that. But you could tone it so it's less orange/yellow and make it ash. You could try either of the first ones you mentioned, but I'm not sure they'll have an effect. It won't damage your hair at all to use them though. I would actually just get a purple/silver shampoo though and leave that on for about 5 mins and see what it does. Much cheaper in the end and you can keep trying until you get an ash tone. Then later you can bleach bath to get it a little lighter.

Do not use the blonde box dye though if it's a permanent. After bleaching that will be horrifically harsh, a lot more harsh than you need and you're likely to end up with a huge mess.

In the photo it appears there is a darker band on your mid lengths, is that just a shadow on the photo or is that the actual colour? Agreed that you should avoid the permanent ash dye, over bleach it could go uneven or have unwanted undertones, I would also recommend you start by trying purple shampoo and seeing if it takes you closer to what you want it's one of the least damaging, least commitment and simplest things you can start with!

Thank you so much for the advise very much needed and appreciated.
I will get some purple shampoo tomorrow. Thank you again
