(Sorry couldn't find a heading to put this under)

I have bleached blonde hair and used unicorn hair in purple. It says it last 10-12 washes which I didn't believe but it's been 10 washes and it's not moved at all.

Definitely wash in wash out.

I want it out does anyone have any advice on how to get it out? Please and thank you ☺️

Clarifying shampoo or washing up liquid.

@thewinehasgonetomyhead

I'm not a hairdresser but i have been bleaching/toning my own hair successfully for years so i can only tell you what i know. Note: i have light brown, fine hair.

So the bleach i buy for mine is 9% (30 volume) from Amazon. I mix it with a little bottle of Wella toner T18 (lightest ash) www.ebay.co.uk/p/4031978336. This takes out the brassy tones in my blonde beautifully AND blends my roots in to some extent. So yes it does lighten natural hair a couple of shades.

I mix one whole bottle of toner (it's only little and you can't keep it once it's been opened so you might as well use it all) with twice that amount of the bleach. Use a little measuring jug or something. Once on your hair it only takes apx 15/20 mins to work.

It smells quite strong and although it mixes up white, while it's on your head it goes quite an alarming dark blue, but it's very gentle, never dries my hair out and the toner really keeps the red/yellow/orange tones away.

I wouldn't use the bleach alone on natural hair without the toner because it will lighten it without any control over how yellowy it will go. The ashy toner keeps really good control of it iyswim?

One thing - IF you leave it 5 mins too long and your hair gets a little bit purpley looking don't worry. That purple washes out real quick :)
