Ok I'm sure I've asked this before, but I am so pants with figuring colours out if my base isn't blonde!
Pictured is my current hair, it's pretty stained so when I do another bleach bath it might not go blonde which is the thing that's boggling my bonce.
what dyes/colour mix do you suggest I try in order to get the pastel purpley colour pictured? haaaaalp I've got my noob head on!
Eta- finally here's a pic!

Eta: ffs the file is too big. Gimme a sec

I should probably wait for the pic, but I just wanted to say I've covered a similar blue with a mix of mostly stargazer's baby pink and a bit of SFX cupcake pink (so soft pinks) and it went a lovely light purple, lavender kind of shade. I could post a pic if you want, I still had dreads at that time.

My blue was like your current hair colour, the roots were just bleached, the mids and ends of my fringe in this pic is what the soft pinks went over the blue. The blue on the start of the dreads was slightly darker. This was the base :
This was the result :
Hope it helps, since it's not the best of pics because of the dreads.

My hair was a little more intense mint then urs is. I tried everything to fade it away nothing was working. It was stained from a yr of plum directions anyway diluted directions cerise took me the same colour as the lady above. X

Heavily diluted SFX Deep Purple, and maybe a splash of a cool toned pink if it pulls too blue on the most turquoise parts, I usually go for Rose Red as my go to pink.

I did it!! Thank you for your help ^-^ it has more blue tones irl and I need to spot dye as it's patchy but wahoo it's deffo not blue anymore 🙂 I put one blob of bleach London the big pink to 30 (lol) pumps of conditioner and slapped it on. This tub of dye will literally last a lifetime with that ratio lol. I was going for a more purple hue but really like this 🙂 when I dye it next I'll use a tiny bit of blue to make it cooler, or use th sfx like you said wicked pixie. Thanks again guys!
