Hi all!
I had a wonderfully almost white blonde base about 3 weeks ago, and in an effort to get a nice pastel purple, I used CC lilac on it... which went patchy and horrible (i think due to the fact I had serum on my hair the day before I dyed it, which wasn't washed off). So I went one further and used CC Hot Purple mixed with loads of conditioner and it turned out gorgeous, really vibrant but quite dark too.
Since then, all it's done is turn blue. I've had blue hair before and I never wanted to go back to trying to shift out that colour, so I wasn't happy. I faded as much as I could with clarifying shampoo and head and shoulders and today tried out the Colour B4 for Fashion Colours... now the ends are green and the top is still blue.
I need to get this sorted as next weekend is my first weekend staying in a swanky hotel and I want to look my absolute finest 😉 but also, in 3 weeks I have work experience in a salon for a month that will hopefully lead to a full time position so this blue/ green needs to go.
If I put pinkissimmo or cyclamen or something over this what would it fade to? Ideally I want to be blonde (Or any pastel purple/ pink or silver tone) for the work experience so I dont need to worry about maintaining it... Any solutions? I'm training in a salon environment at the moment but we don't learn about fashion semi-permanent colours 😛
Also, how do I get rid of the Colour B4 stink??? ;D

I've used Hot Purple. It faded to the blue in my display picture with constant Head & Shoulders washing, I then used the bleach powder & shampoo method on my hair twice. First time took it to a patchy green, purple & blonde & the second time it all went completely blonde again. I'd advise using the bleach powder & shampoo method.

Since you've done a Colour B4 I'd wait a week then use this method once & then tone, hopefully it'll take it back to blonde completely

Holy moley, thats a fantastic result!!! :O I might give that a go next week. Thank you 🙂 I would rather not go near bleach again though, if possible!

It's no wear near as damaging as a bleach bath or full bleach, it doesn't even really make your hair feel dry after like Colour B4.
I would honestly give it ago if you want that green out & get back to blonde, here's the link, have a read through & see what you think. So many people have had fantastic results on there http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=13842.0
This is the link to what I went from before I got the blonde

Oh thank you 🙂 that'll be helpful. Those are some amazing results!! 😮 I have no coconut oil though, cant get it anywhere! must I really wait a week? It looks awful and stinks so badly! Is Colour B4 that damaging to your hair? I've never been sure 😛
Tried to attach pictures but they're too big even though they're from my tablets front camera *stars*

It really is worth trying. If you don't have Coconut oil I'd personally use Olive oil instead, I don't usually put Olive oil in my mix as it's not something I usually have at home, so one or the other will be fine. I waited probably about 4 days before doing my second lot of bleach powder & shampoo, but as you've recently done a Colour B4 it would be best to wait a week. Colour B4 isn't damaging, it is just very drying on the hair so it's best to use a good deep conditioner.
My pictures are usually always too big lol.

I'll wait as long as I can bear xD I'm so so annoyed that it went blue (and ultimately green) though, the last thing I wanted was blue. *gun* I thought Hot Purple was pink based, not blue 🙁 it looks so bad now, it's breaking my heart. 😮 Let alone the stink that I can't shift *ill*

I knew it was blue based but didn't realise that after it got to a certain blue it'd refuse to budge lol. I did like the fade personally 🙂 Try washing your hair again & giving it a good rinse to get the smell out, hopefully will rinse some more colour out as well.
