My timeline, from brown to blue

ooo good luck! although before going blue make sure you get it as light blonde as u can possibly get it! and use a white toner (directions) to neutralise some of those yellow tones to stop it from going green. I had a disaster in the salon last week with someone who wanted the blue underlayer done, and the stylest only bleached it to a dark ginger and the blue just went a nasty teal grey. so i had to run out and get some midnight blue to cover over it. but yeh we wanna see some pics when its done! =D

will do, I havent ordered any blue yet which means I wont be tempted to bleach it once and then throw the blue ontop anyway 😛
Last time I bleached my hair it turned this colour so it will be interesting to see what colour it turns this time 🙂

Ooo I wanna see how it turns out! 🙂

I've just ordered the last three bottles of atlantic blue 😀 Im being picked up in an hour so bleaching will begin soon eeep!

ooo exciting! good luck!

Right well, Im now a yellowy ginger kind of colour (and it reaaally doesnt suit me) it took 6 bottles and packets of bleach to get me to this colour eeek! Im now slightly worried that 3 pots of directions isnt going to be enough....

Woah it seems like you do have thick hair, perhaps you'll need an extra tub. I went blue (sfx blue velvet and electric blue) a couple of weeks ago and so far it was so worth the wait. Can't wait to see how yours turns out! I'm interested in trying other blues in the future  😉

My hair is incredibly thick. It took over an hour to apply the bleach yesterday! I get paid monday so I'll have to buy a couple more pots 🙂

i just posted my hair before and after putting blue mayhem, my hair is naturally black and v thick so like you i used a lot of bleach and it took 3 bleaches a total of over 2 half hours of bleaching. I still had golden to pinky/orange hair in places, but couldn't risk any more bleaching (i personally cant believe its still healthy feeling). It came out well in most places but slightly greeny where the oranges bits were, if you can make it out in the picture. So i think you can get away with the golden hair if its fairly light but if your hair can take it, make it really light. The more bleached it is, the more electric it comes out in sunlight!

good luck!

Your hair looks brilliant! Did you leave it at that colour (the orangy bleached colour) before applying the blue?
I'm going into town tomorow so will nip into Spun Out and see if they do directions and then do a strand test to see what colour it will go before I decide whether or not to bleach again 🙂
thankyou!

yup, that's my hair after the 2 and a half hours of bleaching, i thought it was too risky to go any lighter. The blue over the orange came out ok though, i heard it can be a bit disastrous and i have found a couple of green hairs but its mostly unnoticeable from the camera distance.. I do wonder why that part became orange when the rest was golden.

You got some brilliant results 🙂 not sure why it came out orange though!

Just done some strand tests! My hair wont need any more lightening yay! So once my order from beeunique arrives I can have my hair done eep 😀

My blue has arrived! Off to a friends house later and she is going to dye my hair for me 😀 😀
