Ok so I always try to get the blonde hair from my dark brown hair colour, but I always give up once it has that brassy orange, this time around I dont want to give up as it does cost money haha.
I am looking for advice on what you have used to get rid of this to get the blonde hair?
At the moment it is orange/yellow tones with bits of white blonde.
Thanks in advance x
P.s im using box dyes and I have shoulder length hair, thick and alot of it haha

The dreaded brassy orange/yellow tones

I've recently (past 6 months) been lightening my hair. Found that Nodic's lightening spray (reviews here) really helps lift brassy tones. Good for already dyed blonde hair.
If you are bleaching at home I assume you have put in a toner shade of blonde that you want the final look to come as. To get rid of the brassiness and orange shades you need to wash with purple shampoo it counteracts those colouring and tones them out. It will take a few washes and as a general rule I believe that purple shampoos come as sulphate free so they shouldn't strip your hair as much as a normal shampoo but remember that at home attempts of going blonde can damage your hair so condition it as much as possible. In the past it has taken me 1 bleaching, 2 boxes of toner and 2 weeks of constant purple shampoo washes each day to achieve an arctic white blonde look from naturally medium brown hair. It is a heck of a lot of maintenance though so didn't stay blonde for long, it is true what they say to be a blonde takes money!
this is a constant struggle for me - I just went to the hairdresser today saying it's too yellow - I want it creamy. She put a semi permanent in as the toners just wash out after a wash or twoand it looks good (real test is how it looks on two weeks time). I found with purple shampoo the really lights bits can get very purple when I leave it on to really get into the darker orange bits if you know what I mean? And it can get very ash looking. I sometimes use a mousse colour by clairol that is available at those hair warehouse type places tha stock a range of salon quality shampoos and dyes. It's comes in a million tones ranging from clear to red to burgundy - brown-caramel -you name it they have it - and I go a for a pearl blonde colour. I usually use the whole can in the first instance and then a golf ball size (x3 as my hair is quite long) as a maintenance. I've been lazy and going to the hairdresser lately but at $215 today I think I'll DIY a bit more.
