Blonde hair disaster?! Photo included

[ilovelamp2]

So, I've always box dyed my hair blonde (probably light brown naturally) but last 6 months or so my usual box has made my hair brassy. Tried purple shampoo ect. Tried a shade lighter but no good either. So tonight I used a one with bleach in to try and "lift it' - brassiness has gone but it is sooooo light! I'm pushing 50 and worried it looks trashy. Going on holiday on Monday to add to drama. Is it as bad as I think? How can I fix it?!

Don't use any more purple shampoo!!!

You look absolutely bloody lovely! Hair looks great on you.

Sounds silly but you also have a really kind face.

You look fabulous! Am extremely jealous you have hair strong enough to withstand it.
Mine would have snapped off at the scalp if I had dared. and I did😔

It looks really nice

Your hair looks great.

Looks fab!

Looks good. Just be careful of sun and chlorine in freshly bleached hair.

I think it's really lovely, suits you very much. Have a lovely holiday!

Liking the warm toner idea- could I use this to do a root tap as someone suggested?

@ilovelamp2 I've used that toner before and got a lovely colour, it does come out darker than the pic on the box initially but lightens after a few washes.

I also use this in between and find it excellent for getting rid of brassy tones.

Hi op what colour were you before?

Looks lovely btw

I was a darker blond (with some dodgy brassy bits underneath!)

That one looks good too Hecate01. I'll see what I can get my hands on! Would the clairol pearl one be less dark if I just left on for 10 minutes?

I used that same Clairol one in Luminous Pearl after a hair salon bleach disaster. I wanted mine Ash blonde though so I leave mine on for the full 20 mins and it works really well on mine getting it darker and less yellow. I've just redone it this morning. Originally, I cut a few strands of hair off and tested on that to see how long to leave it for the colour I wanted.

Any chance of a picture Pudseypie?!

Oh that is so much better - I wouldn't do anything else to it!

Looks great OP!

The colour is lovely and really suits you. I wouldn't change a thing.

Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous....

as previous posters have said, if you are going on holiday somewhere hot, take a hat with you to prevent the sun from drying it out as it looks lovely condition.
