When you lighten your hair, the undertones will be exposed until the bleach eventually lifts most of them out. Know your undertones. All natural hair also has undertones with level 1 having red undertones and level 10 having pale yellow undertones. Compare your regrowth to a natural hair level chart. Know where you’re at naturally. Natural hair color comes in levels 1-10, 1 being naturally black and 10 being naturally very light blonde.

Even better if it’s been a few days! The natural oils in your hair help protect your scalp when doing an all-over bleach application. I’ve tried a few other powder lightener brands at Sally Beauty over the past 8 years of DIYing my own platinum blonde hair at home, and they didn’t quite perform to my standards.ĪGEbeautiful Ultra Bond Powder Lightener lifted my hair fast, evenly, and most importantly safely! I recently found Zotos Professional AGEbeautiful Ultra Bond™ Powder Lightener and Developer at my local Sally Beauty and I am seriously impressed with the results. There are times when you just need to bite the bullet and pay for a pro to color your hair.īut there are also a lot of times where you can get professional results right in the comfort of your own home! I'm not overly keen on my current 'do' but I'm going to hold off from further dyeing.Being a former professional hair stylist, I’m going to let you in on a little secret… In the image above you can see the colours aren't immediately noticeable head on, at least not when compared to the shots in the collage. The colours become more/less obvious depending on how I wear my hair - sweeping it in different directions gives different colour combos. I will likely get bored and dye my hair again before that has a chance of happening though! Special Effects' Electric Blue is such a saturated dye though, that I think it will take a few more washes for the distinction between the blue and purple to become clear. While it is not clear in the collage pic to the begging of this post, some parts of my hair are blue. This is when I decided to add some Directions Plum, since I know it's a reliable dye and would - hopefully - cover the apparent blue mishap. I applied quite a lot of the Electric Blue to start, until I became worried my bleached hair was not absorbing it properly (the hair looked pale green). Nearer the crown, I used a mix of all three dyes pictured above. The ends of my hair would have turned out as bright as my shaved section if only they had bleached to the same tone (though admittedly, I'm not so keen on the shaved area being pink now.oh well, live and learn!) The ends of my hair didn't really budge far from the brassy orange the Bblonde sent it, despite applying a good helping of the Atomic Pink dye. As you can see, the resulting colours were a mixed bag. This is because Bblonde did not lighten all of my hair to the same colour, and because I applied three different dyes post bleaching:įROM LEFT: Special Effects Electric Blue, Special Effects Atomic Pink (UV) and Directions Plum.
