Cool thing happened today in school. For those wanting blue hair, pastels or white.
Bleach isn't the way to go.
Bleach dries and damags your hair So badly the colors just wont stay well. Fashion high lights are only possible with ultra drak hair surrounding or the color bleeds terribly. That and trying to get rid of those nasty orange tones is a bitch on your hair.

If your hair is blonde. I even mean dark almost blonde hair. Or strawberry blonde or some other similair color. Don't bleach.
Unfortunetly bleach is the ony way to lighten dark colors.

Using a "cream" lightener I lifted my hair at least three to four levels. It's now sitting at a level nine... or dark ten. NO gold tones. Or at least very little!
With ONE aplication. I'm going for white so I need to reapply but my hair still feels soft smooth and silky. No frizz, no snapping, no melting.

What did we do?

We took 40 mils of 40 volume with Goldwells 11n 10 mils and ten mils of... damnit I forget! ;_; it was... the not high lift that's the other stuff... oh I know this is only going to make sence to hair dressers and people who actually Ask their hair dressers what's going on. But it puts a tone into your hair. Like silver, or ash or something like that. Takes away the goldish or purple or whatever. Damnit I did this not six hours ago!

Anyways if anyone is thinking of getting white hair and doesn't want to kill your hair with bleach. Do that! It's great!!! My hair isn't DEAD!!!
It's so great.
Monday night I'm gonna post the other ten mil of stuff. Forget what its called but I'll go check. Wow I'm just so happy everyone should know this!!!

Toner?

^__^;;
Yeah... toner...
I feel silly. Oh well I had a 2 1/2 week vacation and only have 500 hours. I'm allowed to forget. ^_^;;

One question though.. Do you think it could hold dye well?

[ashna.livejournal.com]

Yeah it would. Better then bleached hair because it's less porous. The color will come out truer. You don't have to fill the hair in to make the color stay or not come out dull.
This is why we're doing ti this way instead of bleach. I want to make my hair white then pull it through a streaking cap for blue streaks. In bleached hair the color would bleed horribly the first time I tried it And fade to pastel blue.
Plus the color would lock more. I'm going to be using a temporary color and I don't want the color to stick for very long. Which it would with bleached hair. The healthier hair is the better color stays in it. Since this method seems to be demaging my hair less? Permanent color, which penitrates the hair shaft would stay longer.

Okay ^_^ Thank you so much for your advice..!
I'm sort of... considering the possibility of an eventual decision about my hair color.. <_<;; [ Can you tell I'm sort of scared? ] I want to have baby pink hair or silver hair.. Or maybe very light blonde. I have absolutely no idea how it would look on me and what kind of effect it would have on my hair..

For effect? Anything you do to your hair chemically damages it.
It becomes courser, frizzier and more delicate. You can sorta fix those things with the proper shampoo's and conditioners but until you cut it off the damage is done. Plus depending on what your doing it might not be So damaged. Like what I just did with my hair. Less damage then bleach but still. It's not as smooth and flat as it was before. ^_^
But it's not so bad. I mean if you don't like it... if you have the cash? Easily fixed. Just takes alot of time and money to do so.

Hmm.. I'm still confused ^^;;
I'm really not sure if I should do it.. I've thought about it for YEARS.. I always wanted to have pink hair.. But that type of things still worries me :P

No it wont. I mean my hair is dark blonde and I still have to reapply. It's a very slow working method. Unfortunetly the best you could hope for with this is a brown color after several aplications and you'd have frizzed out hair. Bleach would work best and have less damage/time/cost.
It was also recomended on the instruction to not apply to previously lightened hair. So if your sitting at a light brown because you bleached it from blac then dyed it? It would still hurt your hair.
40 vol IS bleach it just doesn't have the catalyst added yet. What I did with ym hair was add a slower working catalyst? I'm not too sure. I just know it wasn't as Keep an eye on this!!! As powder bleach is.
Gomen!

My hairstylist tries to simply lift my hair as to not damage it too much, but since my hair is a very very dark black (damn you, asian hair!!!) he still has to bleach it when it reaches four inches from the roots because you can definitely see the difference between lifted hair and bleached hair. My bleached hair is a bright cartoony red while the lifted hair is a dark red :/

Nice icon, btw ^_^ Ayami Kojima is my Goddess :9
