back to blondee

 

Heyyaa!

I actually managed to get enough motivation to bleach my hair yesterday.

This is the first time I will bleach on pre-lightened hair.

I haven't bleached it but I dyed it lighter with a blonde dye.

Every dye has *some* lightener in it because of the vol. it takes for the pigments to get into the hair.

However I knew it still won't be too easy because in the end pigments are pigments.

I decided to bleach roots first und apply it on the lengths section for section.

I knew this is how the roots will end up a lot lighter but I have tried it once the other way around and it was such a mess when the hair is tangled to evenly apply it on the roots.

I rather have the roots a bit lighter and then reapply on the length.

This is the bleach I have chosen.

I am not exactly sure why, I think it was only mainly because at the back of the package was very dark hair shown.

My hair is pretty much the one at the bottom, so I figured it might be enough to go with two rounds of bleach.

I bought 3 boxes because my hair is very thick and I think it has never been as long as it is right now.

I have dyed it two times with my favourite color garnier toffee blonde.

Maybe you can tell a bit but the lengths are a tad bit lighter...that was the first time I dyed it.

I had quite a regrowth when I dyed it a second time and my roots are not that much yet.

I figured that this would be the perfect time to bleach my hair, or else I will get some troubles with having an annoying middle section that will be darker than roots and tips.

I was very surprised when 2 boxes were enough!!

the result is very even.

I was so excited to see this bright yellow (just a bit orangey).

It has lifted so well!! 

It is already such an amazing blonde.

Like I expected the roots would be lighter but still it is very even at top as well.

Like the way I had hoped it would work out.

That way I only have to reapply on the lengths from the middle downwards and blend just a bit to the top.

I decided not to continue today and rather finish the next day.

I haven't applied any conditioner, to have a more "clean" base to work with...which is nonsense now when I think of it.

Bleach is so aggressive it will "bite" through all the products anyway.

This morning I went for a walk with my dog.

I wore a hat to cover up my ungodly roots haha

I think it is always nice to see how well it lifted in the natural light.

I could just slap a level 8 toner on it and call it a day...but I planned a bit lighter :))

It already looked nice but very bright and unnatural of course.

I had only one box left but decided to just risk it..since I only apply it on the lengths I don't need that much and it is just enough.

While I write this I have the bleach on the length again and so far it is lifting pretty well I think.

Ahh I am exciteed <33

It has gotten a bit lighter now on the lengths <33

This was it in the natural light in my room.

The blonde is more even now..it is now a level 7/8-ish.

It would be a perf base for my toffee color lmao.

For some odd reason some of my tips got this greenish tint now but I have planned cutting it anyway, the last haircut was very sloppy from me.

I have chosen this color for my blonde.

I figured that I could put on a lighter color to lift my hair a level lighter as well if it didn't lift well enough.

But mostly because of the "11" after the level.

A 1 is usually an indication for ash, and my hair needs a lot of ash.

This is the picture on the back.

I hoped that it would turn out like the color on the right side.

I currently have it on my head and boy I AM SCARED.

There is nothing ashy about it yet.

"cool blonde" my ass.

I highly doubt it will turn out the way I want it T.T

I prepared some of my nail stuff now but I guess I should look for another hairdye as well in the meantime.

Why is it so hard for companies to make proper blonde dyes?

Beside my toffee blonde I have never had a blonde dye that I liked, that's a sad quota.

Aaaaand, I'm yellow.

It did lift my hair tho HAHA.

I mean, Okay, I could have expected this because it is a level 11 color, but hey..

It shows dark blonde at the back of the box.

To me dark blonde = level 7/8ish.

I didn't expect it to turn it white, I hoped it would just neutralize the color.

At least the haircutting worked out.

If my roots weren't like super white I think I wouldn't hate it that much.

It is definitely a pretty color.

It's just that I am a very cool type rn and I prefer cool colors.

It made me look a bit barbie T.T

My hair really be sitting just there like "damage, what damage?" T.T

I think it is because I have taken care of it for a long time.

The tips are a little dry now yes.

HOWEVER, tomorrow are the shops open and I have an idea how to fix it.

I should definitely not dye it again but I feel like dying the white roots a bit to create like a shadow root thing and hopefully I will find a toner that fits.

I kinda started feeling it but it is very unusual tbh.

I think it might also be because I am just very pale.

I wanted to take Seis advice and just get a toner.

Usually toners never work for me.

I saw a review from a girl that mixed both of these and her color looked so nice!!

I think the pearly color is too reddish and the platinum too blueish, so I figured mixing both would work just fine for me.

However it did almost nothing to me.

I think I should have went for another round of bleach because my roots have a nice color but the rest of the hair is very much still yellowish.

It matte it a bit but that's it.

I now decided to just leave it and get used to it a bit and next time I will put some more bleach to it.

I am very surprised my hair is still intact lmao.

I haven't taken any more pics of me yet.

But I figured this one with the filter will show some of the color difference to before.

I will keep it this way now but I will do smth else in a couple of weeks, however I am slowly getting used to it. I might just need a new way of styling it.

I went back to work on my nails.

I prepped my own nails and prepared some the night before and finished today.

I am in LOVE <333

I don't like the magnets from the puffball, so I decided to just put it on like that.

If it gets wet, it gets wet I guess.

Washing my hands with these isn't even that bad.

I mean yea, it takes a while until it dries but its not like I will die from it.

The next day at work everyone was surprised to see me blonde...lmao.

I received some compliments but most were just shocked I guess.

But they will get used to it, like they got used to my nails.

Most didn't really realize until one of my coworker kept touching my puffball everyones got their eyes on them "huh, what is thiss?" haha.

One of my colleague said that the puffballs are like hats for my fingers:

"It's cold, she needs to keep them warm" HAHA loved that.

We had longer open times, until 8pm and afterwards I went to an friend from my old job that I haven't seen for a while. 

Can you imagine I have been writing this post the past 4-5 days? lmao.

If I keep saying yesterday, I mean like 3 days ago.

I used my day off today to sleep well, I was super tired and exhausted from all this dying, and doing and thinking haha.

I am still asking wether I should do a lighter or a darker color on my head tho.

Blonde yes, but go more platinum or keep it at a level 7/8?

I also received a lil smth in my mail.

I got it as an ad while scrolling on instagram, I don't use it anymore and I was on for just like 2 seconds and fell as a victim for it.

It is soo damn cute!!!

capitalism on girly mode x33

Now I only need to invite people to play with me haha.
