    THANK YOU! Literally the only video I could find that fit exactly what I was doing I am about to bleach wash my hair right now and I have been box black dying my hair for like 2 years since the last time I color changed. It’s been about maybe 3 weeks give or take since I dyed my hair last so I’m very excited to see my results! I’ll be using 30 volume and punky brand bleach powder so everyone please wish me luck! 😭 Thank you so very much for the links love! Video was absolutely brilliant. I will post an update 🙏🏻😍

      I feel like colour before used to work when it first came out and now it I just doesn’t! Maybe they changed the formula. Black is the hardest colour to shift as well, there’s a lot of colour layering to get to black, there’s a lot of red in black dyes which is why it goes red/ginger when stripped and becomes a nightmare 🤣 and the different levels of colour buildup in the hair you soon end up with different shades of red! I hope you get the look you’re after in the end!

I have a year of box dye on my hair so I think I'll do a vitamin C stripping first to remove the bulk of the dye and then do the bleach baths once a week until I reach my desired level. You were a big help in figuring out a routine, thanks again.

    I immediately noticed your roots. I am not a hairdresser, but you could do root tap with darker toner, to color your roots so they look natural. There are a lot of videos abt root tap on YT. Great job with figuring out your technique. Your hair color looks great.
    I had Fenola hair conditioner, I liked the results but hated the chemical stench. I was mixing it with other stuff to kill the bad smell.

    • @Kara-Ellie
      @Kara-Ellie  Рік тому

      It will more than likely make them even lighter, it should lift the highlights you have even further but that’s not to say it will be a nice colour after, they may need toning still and may need toning a different shade to the rest of your hair if you’re doing a full head bleach wash? Is your goal one colour or still highlighted?

      Wet but not dripping otherwise It’ll dilute the bleach further. Wet the whole head of hair and then wring out well. And bleaching is best on slightly greasier hair, but not overly greasy! The natural oils help protect the scalp from bleach and freshly washed hair strips oils.
