Back to results

I attempted a home bleach which has turned my hair bright yellow!!

Hi,
I bleached my hair at home and it has gone bright yellow at the top of my head and yellow/orange on the lengths. I went to Sally's and they gave me Goldwell Cool Blondes Pastel Violet Blonde, but it has turned the top of my head grey - which is not a good look for me!!
I am still aiming for a blonde colour, but how do I make it even, and can I put a hair dye over my hair? Going to a hairdressers is out of the question.
Thanks, Jamie, UK

Bleaching hair at home is a huge no no! It's so difficult to achieve an even result and not having all the necessary knowledge, tools and products to get it platinum makes it even harder.

The only way to lighten hair that is already bleached is more bleach and then apply a toner to create an even shade. But this is not as elementary as it sounds. It may involve four or five stages and going over areas.

I strongly suggest paying a visit to a professional!
