hair dye (pic attached)

[Victormeldrew1]

my daughter wants to go from blonde to platinum blonde I bought a dye and put it on but it's gone yellow/orange
what would I have to do now?
do i put another dye on or a toner

colour it is now

colour she wants to be

What colour was it originally and was it a dye or bleach that you used?

You won't achieve that colour without bleach.
If what u put on it before was a bleach then you can try a toner.
Most shop bough toners are non-permanent so will need to either buy one online or go to a hair dresser supplier

She has lovely hair.
You can only go darker with dye as it adds colour, you need to remove colour to go lighter=bleach.
I'd take her to the hairdressers as there's so much room for error.

You can't dye hair platinum blond you would have to bleach it and now that it is a yellow/orange colour you should probably take her to the hairdresser.

the dye I used had bleach in it she was dark blonde before I used this dye

I would do it in a salon. She has lovely hair you wont want it broken.

That's just a dye, to bleach it it has to have at least 6% hydrogen peroxide but you'll want a 10% to go that light blonde. After that you will need to tone it but toning it with a purple shampoo may cause it to go very slightly purple. If you must do it at home because of funds then make sure you read up before hand and do a patch test, and make sure you do it in sections so you don't miss any. I would also advise your daughter that this if she wants to stay platinum blonde it will need a lot of maintenance and bleach is very damaging to hair, that's why it's best to go to a salon, you may want to follow up with some hot oil treatments and deep conditioners/hair masks and not use too many heat products on the hair

Also the picture of what she wants it like is not just one colour and it's not a box colour/bleach. It's got highlights and lowlights and will need professionals to get that kind of result

ok thankyou everyone for replying I think I'll defo take her to salon this is the first time she has dyed her hair and I don't want to ruin it so trio to salon tomo I think

Great choice! Please do post a pic so we can see the final result! :)

I will thankyou so much for your help

U will need to go for strand tests 24hrs before they will do anything..
How old is dd?

I like the colour you've achieved even if it's not the desired one. It doesn't look orange to me.

Take in the dye box so they can check what you’ve used already and yes she’ll need to have a patch test before they’ll do it.

Post a pic when it’s done!

she's 16 I used a box dye because I thought it would work as she is already blonde

I like the colour aswell but dd is adamant she wants platinum blonde she did want to go silver I said no to that lol

Definitely a salon job. I've been platinum blonde, from a light brown natural colour, and it's very hard to achieve!! Used to bleach my hair at home but salon results are way kinder to your hair!

Will her school be ok with it?

It would be a shame to spend a fortune st a son for her school to tell her she has to stay off until it’s a ‘natural’ colour. Girls school wouldn’t let them have that platinum. 🙄.

Fortunately the girls aren’t interested in dying their hair.

...yet 😱🤣

that was the first thing I asked her is if the school would allow it and she said they allow it now only just there's lots of girls with silver hair and vibrant red hair

If she knows anyone with the colour she likes, tell her to ask if they’d recommend the salon.

I know your dd wants that colour but it seriously damages your hair and she's only young and has healthy looking hair.

yes your right but she's old enough to make decisions I could say no and then she could get her friends to do it for her
this way at least I can see what is going on her hair
