Tried wella t18 a while ago and it turned my hair silver/grey. Ive noticed a lot of the platinum toners have a grey hue to them. I dont want straight up brassy hair but i dont want grey hair either because its so aging IMO.
I use olaplex, hair is currently in decent condition, ect. I'm not really worried about price and im fine with waiting for an online order so if you guys have any suggestions please let me know.
It's a fine balancing act for some of us. I haven't been able to really find a good balance between platinum and grey myself (I don't like grey on myself either, I don't find it aging, just unflattering on my skin tone). Otherwise it's always just a touch too yellow. I can't get a platinum I really like. I do prefer it on the slightly yellow side. I think you might have to pick one you can live with or you'll just be chasing the perfect shade forever.
I think t18 is definitely too silver/ash for you though. I think t14 is a little less silver. But it might be worth looking at the slightly more pearl (I think they're called pearl) ones. Slightly pinker as I recall. i would suggest mixing your own toners with direct dyes. You might have more luck that way.
Thank you so much! I looked up pearl blonde and its really pretty.
