Blonder OTC YET! PIC INCLUDED!

Here is my hair now. SOme of you have read my other forum on OTC bleaching. I started with dyed black, lifted to a dark blonde and now here is what I have now. Bambilee2007-05-07 15:04:33

I'm going lighter too - but I have gray roots to disguise. My hair is normally dark brown but now I have tons of gray and tired of the root upkeep. You have a pretty complexion similar to Heather Locklear's.  She has even more of an ash-color to her hair. I think if you go toward that it would look even better yet. You have a cute little baby too! 

Thank you. I always use Ash toned dye to tone down my hair. It works good, it takes a few dye jobs to get it ashier. Its a long process... but that's what fun about it. :)

Where can I find OTc bleaching msg board? If you cannot give me a link can you tell me where I may search! Thanks!

Hi penniesix. Here's two links that may help you:

Thanks! I actually do belong to both boards. Ha! I just thought there was maybe another board out there.

 

 

That haircut is really cute on you, cute color cute style.

I don't know about the flash lightening kit, but I used manic panic virgin snow to get my friends hair white once, its basically just a purple tone to remove yellow and orange tones. I'm guessing the kit is just a bleach that specializes in blue/purple tones. Your hair looks great, but if you wanted platinum you could probably just use a purple shampoo like shimmer lights or a tones to make it "whiter" oats422007-05-28 10:16:27

Penniesix... I don't know of any OTC boards. I was on going blonde board and all the people (well MOST) were snobs to be when I wanted to go blonde... I gave up talking to them.

Here is the back, and what color I'm sporting. LOL.. what Toner could I use to tone it a little

Very Pretty!  Looks like you have a pretty light golden blonde to me.  I like as a toner, Igora toning mousse in Cashmere 9-5, gentle, conditioning, and very pretty.  I use it once a week in between colorings to keep my hair color looking fresh. Scroll down on this page to see the swatches. 

Oh thanks lots for those swatches! So it's just a toning conditioner kinda like a toning shampoo? Neat...  could I purchase this in a SALON perhaps?

I don't know, I usually get it online.  I suppose if they carry the product you could.  Good luck!

oh, your hair is so pretty.....how did you get it that way without damage?

I guess my hair is just tough. I can no longer count how many time's i've bleached it... it breaks easier now, but it's not fried. Like frizzy or not shiny or anything like that. I am a conditioner holic too, maybe that explains it?

yes, that explains it...i have had quite a few adventures with my hair too.  i put some conditioner in this bleach by loreal....it is called oreal blanc.  the gal at sallys said that a colorist comes in there to buy it and says that is what they use on the celebrities....so i bought some...wanted to fix mistake so mixed it up and put on hair...i have hair break and all that fun stuff....anyway, put conditioner (kerastase) in bleach and it didn't really hurt my hair...now i can use shades eq color gems that people rave about...my friend is a stylist so got the good stuff from professional supply place.....THEY LET ME IN!!!  my gosh, i was in heaven...i like your hair and if you know someone maybe you could go to a place like that for your toner desires....doesn't sallys carry those shampoos?

I live in Canada and we don't have a Sallys. I have a friend who found a beuty supply store that will sell to the general public. Most won't... I have to ask her to get a Toner for me. :)

  i just put some Shades EQ by Redken and it is the most beautiful color!!  i have a friend who gets me in the professional place....is that fun?  oh, man....will one day tell you of how i got in there....it is just funny what amber (my friend) to get me in there,,,,well, not that long of story....she told them that i never liked the color of my hair...which was true.....and could she bring me in so i can pick out colors.....amber said "she is my most difficult client but she pays well"....oh, i was in heaven in there....got some strange looks from the ladies working there like, she will be bringing stuff back, which is exactly what i did...i tried matrix and it was just not rightl.....Redken Shades EQ is it....i love it and now can quit complusively coloring my hair...my husband says he is going to get me one of those doll heads so my own hair won't fall out....i am goign to school in oct to be a colorist....i truly cannot wait!!!!  what do you do? do you live in the beautiful part of canada?  Montreal.....can't say anymore.  fill me in.  hey, you can get things off the internet or maybe i could send you some stuff.....can sallys contraband make it across the border?lovetocolor2007-06-04 23:56:15

I live in Alberta, it's one of the nicest place in Canada I think. Anyways if you live in the states it's kidna hard to get chemicals across the border I think.... I was going to order Manic Panic, but it said I couldn't have it shipped across the boarder. I dunno... My g.f can get stuff at a shop so I'm going to get her to get me some toner and send it to me.

can you get things shipped to you from like, ebay?  they really have every color (Professional and all that) on the internet.....i understand about the shipping because we aren't as safe as we once were....what a shame....what about that internet thing though...i heard they ship all over the world....trust me, you can find anything on there having to do with haircolor....and my father has been in your area...it is beautiful....we lived in washington st for awhile and i liked it.  good luck on the hunt for your hair stuff.

wow good job! you look amazing..i don't think you need a toner at all...its very pretty just the way it is...the toner might just dull the color a bit and take away the shine...maybe in like 6 weeks you might want to tone up only right after you do a root touch up..something with a violet base

Why thank you! I didn't think a toner would take away the shine... my hair is VERY shiny. Would a Toner take away alot of my shine?

listen, a gal at sallys told me a colorist comes in there to buy the loreal Oreal Blanc...it worked great on me and i guess the guy raves about it...your hair is just plain pretty....i like it...i am using shades eq now because i could not leave matters alone....but i LOVE SHADES EQ...they have this new blonde out....

Your hair is so pretty, bambilee! It looks like a light ashy blonde that most people covet. I'm planning on going lighter as well later this year.
