    Black to blond Bleaching - Failed ^^"

    grin

    Okay, this happens when you

    • have an outgrowing permanent black dye on dark brown hair
    • don't belive in the stand test not reaction on the bleach at all

    ... though the bleach I used wasn't strong enough at all. I can't even tell how much Vol it has because it isn't obviously mentioned on the packaging.

    Just wanted to share this disapointing result with you. grin Was my first time bleaching, hope I will get better soon. *haha

    hehe Thanks, I thought about this too. Maybe if the next try will failed in the same way.

    But I definitly want to kill my hair and go blond. Or at least funny orange by bleaching it again with 30 Vol this time.

    Pastelcolored hair is still my dream, but I think I will never reach having silver hair. grin

    I'ts possible!! You can go from pitchblack to Snow white, but you need time and the right bleach vol!

    I soon will post my journey from black to white with pictures from every step. The best thing to do is to start higlighting in foils, that way you dont have to go with a full head of brassy orange after bleach hair. You can take it in steps, so the hair can rebuild and you dont have to cut off half of your hair.

    When you have lifted your hair to a pale yellow buy Wella fresh 0/6 and put it all over your hair and it will cool down the color without leaving purple och grey strands!

    I recomend letting your hair rest for 2 weeks at least in between every bleach.

    try doing a vitamin C treatment! it'll get rid of the black dye & then it should be easier to bleach your hair after that. i suggest you use White Out bleach. it is my favorite bleach by far, and i've never heard of anyone else's complaints. $10 at sally's or hottopic

    the day i get through the whole 24 hours with no mistakes will be the day that pigs fly.

    A similar thing happened to me after the first bleaching.

    Unfortunately for me, the Vit C treatment did almost nothing, but did sensitise the remaining black dye to sun exposure, causing it to fade noticeably over a week or two of being outdoors.

    I'd definitely recommend doing regular warm oil treatments, the stand-out choice for oil being coconut, as it's colourless, so won't ruin any yellow-removal you've done, and you can even bleach your hair safely with oily hair which will help protect it.

    If you duck face, we can't be friends.

    I'd always reach for the colour remover first in this situation. Use the type that says it will not change your natural colour rather than what is basically over-priced bleach such as L'Oreal Effasor.

    After a couple of rounds of that you can try bleaching out the black. That's how I did it last time. It was a lot of effort but I was able to get my hair to a reasonable shade of blonde that way.

    By the way... Does anybody know how I have to deal with this big gap between my light hairline and the dark rest of my hair when bleaching it again?

    In the discription of my hairbleach product they say I should put the whole bleach on. There stands nothing about putting it on the lower parts of the hair first and after that on the roots as well. neutral face

    I am kind of confused now. I don't want my upper hair to become platinum white and the rest orange. Should I put bleach on the dark parts first? Wait a little bit and put the rest on the already lighter hairparts at the hairline then? Maybe I should cut some of the lighter hairparts from my bang and do a strandtest on them and the darker parts of my hair at the same time.

    Do a strand test before anything else.

    On those instructions they assume that your hair hasn't been dyed previously. If it had all been natural you would have got a more even colour.

    You'll need to treat the dark area different to the light. It's going to take a lot of effort to get a stubborn colour like that out so that's why I can't stress enough how important strand tests are at every stage if you want to avoid wrecking your hair.

    I agree with Jude, i'd try using a colour stripper rather than a bleach first. however keep in mind that, most of them say that you can't bleach for a certain amount of time afterwards. If you are going to bleach again, once you have done the strand test you need to apply the bleach to the hair that has not lightened. You can keep checking the progress by scraping away the bleach to see the colour. once the rest of the hair has lightened sufficiently then you can put bleach on the roots. It'll probably only need about twenty minutes. My hair is very dark brown naturally, it needed around four bleaches to get it sufficiently blonde to over dye. If in doubt go and see a professional, many will be happy to give advice for free.

    The hair will always bleach faster in the roots then the rest, beacause of the warmth from the head/scalp. You will notice that the area in the hair where theres most colour is about 5.9 inches(15 cm) down from the scalp beacuse this is the area that gets most colour on it after time.

    So when I'm bleaching or stripping out black hair I put the product on the middle section first, and the roots last.
