help me get to white pls

heres a brief history of my hair for some context:

2 weeks ago i had my hair bleached to lvl 9 then used purple shampoo to get it to platinum blond but i wasnt fully happy with it because i could still see a tiny bit of yellow so i searched online and found a comment on reddit saying that you should get redken shades EQ 10VV (lavender ice) and 10P (ivory pearl) mix them with the redken processor (1 to 1 ratio) so 2oz toners and 2oz processor which i did do and left it on my hair for 20 mins like instructed. unfortunately my hair turned into a really deep purple/lavender color and not white.

after that i used color remover cuz i didnt want to wait for the purple to fade naturally and got all the purple out of my hair. at this point my hair was back to a lvl 9 but i wanted it to be a level 10 so its easier for me to get it to white. So i bleached it again and the hair in the photo is what it looks like now after the bleach.

where do i go from here? what do you think i did wrong the first time? could it be that i had purple shampoo toned into my hair and adding the redken shades overtone it to purple instead of white? i still have some of the redken to use should go for it again or am i gonna get the same result again? pls help me....

Greasy roots and fine hair

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m half Colombian and half Polish. My mother’s side (Colombian) has given me a rather greasy scalp, my father side (Polish) has given me fine hair. I’ve dealt with it for years by shampooing frequently. Like every day. Without shampooing the ends and drying them out of course. Early last year I was diagnosed with Tellogen Effoluvium because of a hormone problem with Birth Control. I lost lots of hair clumps near my temple and top of head.

My dermatologist reccomended only shampooing once a week and swapping to daily dry shampoo.

Finally this year my hair looks pretty normal and good. As a treat I bleached it in August! This weekend I went and had a professional go in and touch up the roots.

She then told me to shampoo everyday with Medicudicals Greasy Scalp shampoo. I think it’s doing its job. It was a little expensive but I’m unsure if this is the right advice.

She also told me to not use dry shampoo at all because it may act like flour dough on my greasy scalp? I’m not too sure what she meant by that.

So now I feel like I have all sorts of different opinions from both a derm and a salon. What is the best advice I should follow?

Help! How can I even out my pink

My hair was pink last year and over the summer after it faded, I dyed it ashy blonde. I recently re did my pink, and I added some more highlights to the top. Those highlights came out super bright pink and not as dusty, because I didn’t have the blonde tone under it.

Is there a way I can even it out a bit? I don’t like the super neon that much. I’m okay with just letting it fade and see if that works better.

I used pravana magenta mixed with conditioner and a bit of orchid from kiss tintation.

Good to bleach again?

A friend bleached my hair about last March (1st photo) and the blonde has faded to the 2nd and 3rd photos. There’s still some blonde in there, but I really want to bleach it again anyways.

Is this safe in any way? Will all my hair fall out? Should I moisturize it before? Help me out, folks.

Uneven pink distribution when using pink hair conditioner?

Hey guys, I got the pink highlights dyed some time this August. Since then, I’ve been trying to maintain it with pink coloring shampoo + conditioner.

However, it seems I would always leave behind parts that’s not touched by the coloring, specifically the hair at the back and in the middle.

I’m not sure what I can do to stop this. When I apply the conditioner (see image 4), I flip the hair over my head and try to apply it evenly on all sides. However, it’s clearly not working.

But how is it possible? I do start from right to left, and it’s the middle part that’s fading.

You would think it’s because im running out of conditioning midway, but that can’t be it, because the hair on my left has coloring, which is the last part I get to.

What the heck is going on??

I’ve started rubbing my hair together as to hopefully reduce the dis-even coloring😑

Let’s hope it works.

(Also, I know my hair doesn’t look very pink. But trust me, it does! It’s just the orange lighting)

Should I start using conditioner on bleached + vivid dyed hair?

3 Upvotes

I recently got my hair bleached from a mid brown to a level 7 then dyed orange with Pulp Riot. My hair is very porous and silky, and I don't generally use conditioner. Now I'm confused if I should start or not - conditioner will help maintain my colour by keeping the hair cuticle closed, but also the more time I spend washing it the more the colour will wash out?

Regardless I've been using cool water and sulfate/paraben-free shampoo for vivid coloured hair and only washing once or twice a week with no heat styling.

And now that I have enough length, after cancer and chemo. This is huge for me. I'm getting this piece of myself back. 🥹

Edit: thank you for all the love 🥹 I used Blue Jean baby by Arctic fox on hair that I lightened with Ion Extreme High Lift Blonde in 14B Ash Blonde on virgin level 7 hair.
