Bleaching hair advice needed desperately please!

7 replies

So I bleached my hair about 6 weeks ago with Garnia Olia B+++ Maximum Bleach.

From a natural dark brown (all previous permanent dye had grown out apart from maybe residue of a dark purple semi permanent, done about 18 months ago)

I was expecting ginger all over, it seems its taken more to my roots than my lengths. I applied bleach to the lengths first, as per the instructions, I'm guessing I still didn't leave it on the lengths long enough before starting roots?

I've bought Jerome Russel now, 3 kits, hoping that's enough to fix it so its all the same colour all over so I can then proceed to tone it hopefully!

Please has anyone got advice on what method I should go about correctly this? Brown roots, yellow section close to roots and ginger lengths.

First 2 photos taken same day, just different lighting. Last photo to show root regrowth

Thank you

Brad mondo (you tube or Facebook watch) does loads of videos critiquing what people do wrong, which are amusing to watch and quite informative!

Brad Mondo says roots last because they process faster due to the heat from your scalp. I'd go for the orange bits first because they'll need the most time to lift.

Honestly - that last pic looks quite nice! I’d embrace the ombré nature of it and leave well alone Grin. Any more bleaching and processing is more likely to just damage it so it snaps off, that sort of lightening should really be done gradually over a longer period of time with some Olaplex treatments to repair the hair in between times.
