Getting this colour? (warm pale pink)

Right now most of my hair is yellowy blonde, and I'm waiting to bleach/bb again to get it even.


I want to get the attached colour, will I have to go white for that? Or will pale yellow do? Don't want to have to bleach more than I have to - plus warm colours suit me better.

Also, what dye shades would you guys recommend? I was thinking Diluted Carnation pink? But I'm open to suggestions (though preferably Directions as they're cheap and easiest to get hold of)

Thanks πŸ™‚

Interesting, I wouldn't call that a warm pink myself, warm pink is a pink going towards coral. I get that colour when I was faded pink with purple shampoo. The ends look warmer, like the pink was put over darker yellow, even verging on pale orange there.

Depending on how yellow your hair is, you might just get away with washing your hair with silver shampoo, leaving the shampoo on for 5-10 mins, which would take out a lot of the yellow. Then dying with pink. Then washing with silver shampoo again if needed.

Edited to add, these are what I'd call warm pinks

Thanks for your reply (and sorry this is late my internet is a bit rubbish!)

Those pinks you've posted do look a lot warmer, I wouldn't mind if my hair was those colours except I worry about going salmony/peachy when it fades, which I think it will if my hair isn't light enough.

Here is what it looks like currently

I have no idea what level this is. Its about 90% yellow with some light orangy bits, and near my ears are inside of a banana coloured. A bit like a golden retreiver. (the dark bit underneath my ears is a grown out undercut thing and wont be getting dyed this time)

I don't know whether or not to do a full bleach or a bleach bath or what.  *stars*

I managed to pick up some Schwarzkopf blonde ultime dye on offer (12-1 Xtra Light Cool blonde) which claims to lift up to four levels, so I don't know if I should use that instead?

Sorry to bump guys but I'm really at a loss of where to go. Would the box blonde I mentioned get me light enough or do I have to do a full bleach again?

I think you can get something similar to the first picture without lightening. I would try a strand test of a diluted cool pink shade like Directions Flamingo Pink over your current hair.

I think it would go darker than the original picture, but fade to something like it. You'd have to wash with silver shampoo though as I said in my original post. Putting even a cool pink over yellow, particularly if edging more orange, hair will always result in warm salmony or coral pinks as they fade. Also, wash with silver shampoo first, leaving the silver shampoo on for 5 or so minutes.
