Hi everyone! I tried to dye my brother's hair dark grey, but it's striped  ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I used half Ion Titanium and half diluter mixed together.

How do I fix this?
-Re-dying with undiluted Titanium
-Toning the yellow parts with purple, then re-dying
-Mixing Titanium (which has blue undertones) with purple dye
Or anything else yall can suggest!  ;D

The hair isn't really light enough for anything but a very dark grey. The bits were it has stuck are either lighter and/or more porous so soaked up more dye. I've not used that dye, but it looks very light to me from a google search, so diluting it would certainly make it too weak for hair  that dark, even though it's pretty light. I would suggest doing a bleach bath to lift it another level or two and then try it undiluted, or at least, only diluted a little.

Do I need to wait for the grey to fade before doing a bleach bath? Thanks so much!

I would give it a couple of really good shampoos first to get rid of a lot of it, but it should be fine. Try as much as you can to keep it off the parts that are already grey though, you need to try and even up the colour a bit. ๐Ÿ™‚
