Today I will mostly be dying my hair white/silver blonde

[Honeydragon]

My dark roots need doing anyway, so it's time for a change.

It's winter, I'm pale. I'm hoping I can pull it off without it aging me horribly.

Now, the worst case scenario I've considered is blue or purple hair ..... I can cope with that

I've plucked my eye brows, do I look groomed. I've got bleach and I'm off to collect the the toner later.

Anything else I need to consider?

Do it, do it, do it!

Honestly the toner is fab.

It looks lovely!

I use the same bleach. I get Joico toning shampoo from Amazon to keep the colour. I found Touch of Silver etc too harsh.

Has anyone got any tips for what to do with the coconut oil? Do you warm it up and leave it on overnight? It's quite solid in the jar

Just scoop out a small blob and rub it in your hands then through your hair. It liquifies with body heat.

Very nice!! If you don't mind me asking,what is you're natural hair colour?i'd love to go silver but have v.dark hair and not much grey so I'd probably end up bald

That looks gorgeous, but maybe you need a name change, now :)

For the colour, of course, not for anonymity.

My natural colours dark brown

How often do you need to do your roots Honey?
I'm a mousy brown, currently badly highlighted, but I gave up on the all over white bleached look (though I loved it) as the upkeep was too much and I mostly looked like Lily Savage

Yours looks great btw!

Wow that's gorgeous!

You look gorgeous, great colour, but who are you and what have you done with brunette Honeydragon?

Are you going to do Hully or a baby next?

Pdog

I like to change every so often. It stops trouble catching up with me

If I wanted perfect hair than every three to four weeks at a push id do my roots.

But I do them every 5-6 weeks and have a selection of updo's that look good with regrowth, because I'm lazy.

Not going to bleach the baby, she has perfect dark blonde ringlets ...... Clearly something to do with having immaced her, so I'll take credit for them.

Need to have a look at that toner you used. I have a pixie cut and have been bleaching and toning it for years but sometimes the results can be a bit hit and miss. I was using 40 vol peroxide for years ( I know, slap on the back of wrists) as it was the only thing that lifted my roots enough but as I let my hair grow just a fraction I noticed that it was definitely getting drier. My hairdresser convinced me to use 30 vol it would be a bit gentler but the results can be a bit hit and miss to be honest. Sometimes ginger roots, sometimes a nice even colour.

Oh, and for everyone rushing out to buy coconut oil, it is also supposed to be fab when you bleach over it. Apply it to clean dry hair, leave it on for at least an hour (ideally over night) and then apply the bleach as normal over it. Google coconut oil & bleaching. Loads of folk swear by it and it's supposed to really protect the hair against the bleach but not affect the colour. Will be trying it next time I do my roots.
