What is your goal colour? Always go for the lowest vol peroxide possible, definitely no higher than 20 vol
Id love to go dark blonde/light brown
It already looks dark blonde/light brown to me, I don't think it needs bleaching further, unless it is much darker/more orange in real life
It's uh.... Pretty orange lol. Also, stupid question - bleach bath instructions say mix 2 parts shampoo, does that mean 2 parts to the whole mixed amount of bleach and peroxide, or 2 parts for developer, 2 parts for powder
Either will work, lots of people mix the bleach then add the same amount of shampoo. Others add the same amount of peroxide as shampoo, which makes it slightly stronger/more effective but also more damaging
What did you have before this? Was it dyed?
It was blackish red. Then I did 3 rounds of colorfix, then bleached it last night with a bleach bath
Unfortunately you night be stuck with the red as its likely heavily stained. If I were you I'd just tone down the red to a brown. It might be a bit darker than you wanted, but that's normally better than totally destroyed hair 🙂
It's not really red though. It's more of an orange color
Red, orange, comes from the same place 😉
A diluted blue is what you want. 🙂 A green would still tone out the red, but a blue will work on the yellow and red.
Before you replied I went to Sally's and they gave me wella color charm t18 I believe. It worked quite well and is more blonde. The only problem is my hair is very uneven in color.because its not that easy doing it yourself. But not bad. Now to decide where to go from here.
I lied. It's still orange. Should I tone again?
Your hair is much too dark for those types of toners, it is just unnecessary damage.
You need to add colour now if you are happy with the level of lightness. If you are a level 7 orange (hard to tell from pics) you need to look for level 6 ash browns, ideally with a blue or violet, rather than green, base. Choose a demi (deposit only colour) and a low vol peroxide (lower than 10 vol)
The staff at Sallys ought to be able to help, although they gave you bad advice re the Colour Charm. I can't recommend specific products because US Sally's carry different lines than UK Sallys
If you still want highlights you need to pick them out before you apply the dye, and lighten those areas further.
