Help, colour decision!

Hello! Have just used the bleach and shampoo technique to remove most of my remaining colour. Now I need to decide what colour to go next. I was going to try red, but am really tempted to try grey. I currently have directions silver, but from looking at results pictures my base is nowhere near light enough.  Would it go totally weird over my base? Shall I try toning, or just wait it out and do a bleach bath in a week? I'm going out Saturday so kind of want to sort it, but maybe should wait, or try to find a darker grey? Decisions!!

Edited to add photos!

I think you'd need another bleach bath for most grey shades. The nirvel grey is the darkest I think, but I think the darker yellow bits might make it uneven still.

I'm impressed with how much you've faded though!

Try a strand test with the silver, at worst it will tone the blonde to a more ashy shade. For a true silver you would need a lighter base though. Darker and warmer greys are possible over what you have now.

Yay! Thanks both. Am heading into Nottingham now so will see if they have any darker greys and will try the strand test either way πŸ™‚

An Afro Caribbean hair shop in Nottingham called xpressions. Cheap too.

Oh and I've got the dye on now! Couldn't wait πŸ™‚
