Black to Light Blonde | 3 Step Tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 03. 2018
- Don't want to spend hundreds at the salon for blonde hair? Well I've got the tutorial for you, especially if you're impatient like me.
I am not a professional, however, I've gotten all of this information from professionals and I've been implementing these tips at home for years.
I did this in two days.
There are three easy steps.
1. Stripping any previous dye out of your hair. (Unless you are coming from a natural color, if so you can skip step 1.) (~30 min.)
2. Bleaching your hair with 40 volume developer like I did, or if you are a little hesitant, you can go the safer route and use 30 volume. (If you are coming from a natural color, I would suggest using 30 volume and doing two separate bleachings, while using something like coconut oil or any other moisturizing treatment in between.) (~25 min.)
3. Toning with 20 volume developer using an ash blonde toner to cancel out brassiness. (~30 min.)
When you are finished, your hair will need some rehab, so I would suggest using something like Mane 'n Tail Hair Strengthener, coconut oil, or argan oil.
None of this video is sponsored, just using products I love.
In order, these are the products I used in the video:
(Everything is from Sally Beauty Supply)
- don't be like me, use gloves. (cheap, you can find them anywhere)
- Measured mixing bowl ($2.59)
- Coloring brush ($1.59)
- Colorfix with argan oil by One 'n Only ($15.19)
- Prism Lites Blue bleach tub ($19.49)
- Ion Sensitive Scalp Developer in 40 volume 32oz (or 30) ($5.99)
- Wella Color Charm Toner in T18 "Lightest Ash Blonde" ($6.49)
- Wella Color Charm Developer in 20 volume ($2.29)
- Ardell Red & Gold Corrector packet ($1.09)
- Ion Repair Solutions conditioning packets (2 of them) ($2.59 each)
- Mane 'n Tail Hair Strengthener spray ($5.99)
- (optional) TRESemmé Expert Selection Repair & Protect 7 conditioner from Walmart ($4.94)
Total: $73.83 (including disposable gloves)
Some of these things are optional, so you may spend less.
These are the online prices, I paid less than this at the store since I have a savings card with Sally Beauty.

I'm a hairdresser and this is the only DIY I've ever watched that didn't make me want to scream. You really did your homework, good job!
Heidi Uribe thank you!
I'm a boy and I used a hair blonde hair dye and it made it a light brown, I waited another day and put a stronger blonde hair dye in if that makes sense and it made it a bronze type color. If I wait a few days (3-4) will it turn my hair to blonde. I have natural black hair btw.
Mason Richards your hair wont turn blonde by itself... U gotta use hairbleach
yeah, I meant to say if I waited a few days and then bleached my hair again if it would turn blonde
Mason Richards most likely! Or it might turn yellow and you can tone it like she did in the video (if its within the same shade). Just watch out so you dont damage your hair too much or burn your scalp
This tutorial actually works!! I had black box dye over previously bleached (and purple) hair. I followed this tutorial to a T and my hair came out a level 9 golden blonde with only one bleaching, and then I toned it again. Literally almost no damage and I had zero breakage. The most important thing is to make sure your hair is COMPLETELY saturated because any missed spots will be super visible after bleach! The employee at Sallys said I was the "best case scenario" for a DIY black to blonde. Lol
Thank you!!!!
Katie Smith that's awesome!! I'm glad it worked for you! (:
Yay this give me hope !
Did you skip the color strip n went straight to bleaching? I have bleach right now and not the color remover
Vicky Nicole No, I did the color remover as well. I've bleached over black box color before and it didn't lift off of my ends. Did it work for you?
twins
every time i want to go blonde again i go to this video, most helpful video ever
Thank you!♡
SAMEE
I think Brad Mondo would be proud!!!
Thanks! (: i sure hope so haha.
Brad would point out there was no sectioning, but he would still like
the outcome
Tamara Eads he reacted to this. He liked it
@@shawniamartin4010 sorry I'm late, he reacted to this exact video or one of my other ones? (I'm aware if the red to blonde one 😂)
He would freak a bout the 40 vol with the bleach and the 20 with the toner and not to mention how much he hates the t18. Unless your hair is a level 10 that t18 doesn’t do anything.
Okay I was already thinking about going blonde again but this just 100% convinced me lmfao. Blonde looks good on you girl !
Hailey Turner thank you!
Quality
10:15 is where you should start if you have virgin Hair
Scarlett thank you so much!
Lol it says that 5 seconds into the video
Thank u
My favorite thing about this upload is that your hair turned out great AND you typed out what it cost you. Thanks a lot! I can’t afford $300+ salon hair appointment right now
Thanks!♡
It’s not worth it. I normally get my hair baby lighted so it’s platinum. I had a falling out with my hairdresser because I’m a Nail tech and she hired me for a salon that didn’t have a ventilation system so that pissed me off. So I finally found somebody else to do my hair after about six months so of course I had a lot of grow out and this girl turned my freaking blonde hair Green a couple of days ago so I got pissed off put red over my hair and now I’m at a copper color just after one wash most I’m not gonna say most of the red came out but a lot of the red came out. So I do will be doing a tutorial, when I do my hair tomorrow. I’m so mad that I spent $300 to have somebody turn my hair green and then I got in an argument with her because she didn’t want to fix it and I’m like you know what I don’t want that girl touching my hair anyways after she agreed to fix it on Monday which is only in two days. I told her don’t worry about it forget it I don’t want you touching my hair. So hopefully it will turn out good I’ve been here many times before. But it took me two years to go to the blonde that I was because I went very very slow, so for me to put red over my hair I had to have been really pissed off. But to make a long story short yeah don’t spend the 300 bucks do it this way it works.😁
So I just talked to a hair dresser and told him I dyed my hair black half a year ago and that I want to go lighter, he said I should better just leave it alone. now I’m here
That's annoying..
There are options.
WHOAyouguys ikr but i will try somewhere else.. btw you’re result looks beautiful and I subscribed💕
@@liya7536 thank you! (:
Liya same they said to me when I dyed my natural blonde hair reddish brown. I ended up bleaching it a few times myself and it turned out fine, now I go to the salon to get my grownout natural blonde hair highlighted :)
“I wear long shirts so I can use the sleeve to wipe..” that is soooo fuxking genius how have I never thought of that??
😂😂 I'm here to help
*whispers*
Coconut oil in the hair an hour before then bleach on top of it.. you will thank me.
- JAVA - do you only put coconut oil before bleach or can you put it on before colour lift as well?
won't oil keep the bleach from penetrating the hair shaft
This is true. Coconut oil saturated in your hair overnight to several hours prior to bleaching your hair gives you an even process. Plus it helps your hair's condition. It doesn't repair your hair but it seems to help condition it.
Jinx Winters that's exactly what happened when i tried it.
Doesn't do shit. Waste of time and coconut oil.
Your personality is a breath of fresh air. You as a redhead = amazing
musicguitar Shut up perv
@@blackcrow159 h-how...
Your bleach combination of Ion and Prism Lights is what I've been using for years and its the best. I'm amazed someone else uses it
I have been bleaching for 25 years. Most youtube gals have NO idea what they are doing. BRAVO! Looks great.
Thank you!♡
Y’all please ignore the comments saying use coconut oil.. use your own natural oils. Please. It could really make it harder to bleach your hair and causes build up! Also I love you blonde, it’s beautiful’
Thank you :D
loads of hairdressers actually recommend using coconut oil. the bleach is strong enough to go through the oil
@@diabetesgirl2812 yes exactly. Coconut oil is the best. And also use it weeks or months before the bleaching
I just followed you every step of the way...
And my hair turned out fantastic! Thank you so much. Your channel is the most helpful around. I’m so happy with my hair rn.
Btw I’m a guy :)
Pigeons Poncho that's awesome! Thank you so much!
I swear i just told my husband exactly wat u said...that this young lady has the best most informative going blonde for dummy's. I love it it was so simple and clear. Thamk u so much for takibg the time to teach those of us whom r terrified to make all my hair fall out. TERRIFIED IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY. BUT.... U have just washed away a lot of that fear, like u washed away the products in the shower wen u were done with each step. And with each step, (which was very comical and thorough btw) i felt my anxiety about this melt futher and further away. Let me tell u 20+ yrs of therapy couldnt do it, but u did n so effortlessly. I think u have found ur calling . hope to c many more videos from u young lady. U r amazing. Thank u....so very much.
Ok here i go im gonna start my first step. I just wish i understood more about if i should use a color stripper. I haven't dyed in over a yr. Wat do u think?
Anyone that could lmk that one last thing would b greatly appreciated. K bye for now. Bless u take care and keep hold of that beautiful spirit shining so brightly within u. K ttyl
@@stephanieguerrero6112 I'm finally seeing this a year later, what the heck?? Lol thank you so much! ♡♡ I don't see all of the comments that are replies to other comments. 😭😭
Most helpful video I found! I did my own hair today and followed all the suggestions, and sure enough it came out platinum! 🤗 I have spent so much money and time in different hair salons and NO ONE has EVER gotten me this light even after multiple sessions. So thank you for this video and I will for sure continue to do my OWN hair. ❤

Why am I even her? I’m not coloring my hair! I also have to study for a test tomorrow! My parents said I can color my hair in a year, but I have to go to a salon! I literally don’t know why I’m here! Matter of facts, I’m been binge watching hair bleaching videos for 30 minutes!
So did you color your hair?😂
Lol same. Its an addiction almost haha
God I'm so glad I'm not 15 anymore
hahahaha idk why im here....i should probably go to bed...but i did bleach on part of my hair (because it was 2am when i finished the bottom)but hey i went from BLACK 2N to BLONDE level 7 to 9 WOOHOO
Tonya Searle
Did you pass the test
wow i was not expecting it to be that light after you rinsed out the bleach.
brittany leigh me neither haha
I used everything in this tutorial 🤘 thank you so much. Hair turned out great in the end. My hair needed longer times to lighten but in the end we got here ❤️ saved me a bunch of money doing this at home.
That's awesome! I'm happy for you! (:
This is so helpful because I'm wanting to bleach my own hair and your video is such helpful info! And your hair turned out so good!!💖👏🏼
Mary Gordon thank you (:
Myla loves You. .
Ready to embark on my quarantine hair journey tomorrow to bleach and and dye it pink!!! Thank you for such detail and the notes in the description, it's very much appreciated!
Doing this rt now. Thank you for making this video! Especially for being just yourself: No crazy intro, insane makeup (to make us all feel like we failed already! Lol) etc... It's just perfect. Speaking of perfect, I'm at the toner step. Keepin my fingers crossed! Thanks again!
Oh my goodness I love how detailed your instructions are!!! ❤️ thank you for your video. ❤️✨
I dyed my hair from dark brown to a dark black twice an I want to go to blonde I've asked everyone and they said it was impossible. This is really helpful!
Thanks! I've heard a few times that you can use color fix multiple times to get the maximum amount of color out before bleaching, that may help you. I've never done that before though. Anything is possible. Best of luck!
With box black hair it’s harder to accomplish and cause so much damage. It’s best to go to a salon and be upfront and honest about the last time you dyed it black. They’ll help you get a plan and goal as to what you’re hair will look like from beginning to end ☺️
@@sissyd4122 To be honest I've gone to many hair salons around where I live. And they all won't do it. So now I'm here :(
@@ghostinthesun7501 it's best to start off the same way Khloe K. did. Red bayalage and go lighter each time. But right now of course no one is gonna do it lol #COVID 19
@@sissyd4122 I don't mean just now. Before the whole virus situation^^
All the stylists I asked refused because it would be too much work
This is why Color fix is my favourite colour remover, it’s one of the only colour removers that doesn’t have any bleach in it🙌🙌
The dark brown/soft black looked really pretty, but the final outcome of the blonde is gorgeous! Good job 💕
Thank you!♡
Thaaaaank you so freaking much for making this video, been looking all day for someone to explain all the steps well, I'm so glad I found this!
I'm gonna subscribe first video I've seen that every step is explained fully and understandably and your not annoying like alot of the others I've seen. Love this!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you!♡
of all the tutorials I've watched, yours are the best explained and demonstrated. kuddos!
Emilia Giboi wow, thanks! (:
I dyed my hair black to and my hair is naturally lighter then that like your so I’m so glad I found this video! Trying to go to blonde now 😬
i’ve been watching videos for so long because i’m looking to dye my hair blonde and this is the first one that gives me a better understanding! thanks, i might go to sally’s today to buy some of this stuff.
ray awesome! Let me know how it goes (:
Duuuude!! Thank you so much
I finally got the balls to just go for it and dye my hair yesterday and toned it today. I followed the steps and my hair turned out really great. I didn't realize how big of a difference the color fix actually makes for bleaching. I used vol 30 and it still worked great. This is by far my favorite video!
That's so awesome, thanks for sharing!♡
Thank you so much for your video demonstration.
I think you look lovely with your new hair colour.
Hope I will be brave and try and do mine.
Omg I love this. Very informative and I love her personality
Kayla Maloney thank you!♡
Thank you for making this video! Im going on a extreme hair journey soon and I really appreciated this :)
Your tutorials are the only ones I trust tbh. It's very straightforward and thorough. This video helped me when I wanted to dye my hair blue! I had a permanent brown black color on my hair and I was worried I would completely fry my hair with bleach trying to get it light enough to do blue. I didn't know ANYTHING about the One N Only Colorfix until I watched your video!!!!
That's awesome! Thanks!
Your hair turned out great and I a like your undercut. I wanted to dye my blue but it is very dark brown so I need to lighten it first.
You did it again! Looks great :D
Cherry Monsterr thank you (:
ive been trying to find a video that would help me understand how to bleach my hair plus give me what i needed to get and this helped amazingly thank you so much your awesome =)
Kyanna Stephan awesome! Thanks! (:
i just did this to half of my head! half blonde half black! i used your step by step instructions and (,: i couldn’t be happier! thank you ❤️
That's awesome, thank you for sharing! :D
Yay, I'm gonna be bleaching my own hair soon cause my friends don't have enough time to help. Some advice would be for people who are scared/for the first time, patch test a small section! That way, you can see if you're allergic to the product before hand or get to know how long you should keep the bleach in for, so you don't fry your whole head, just that one small section.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, pretty girl! I'm doing this right now, on the the third and final step. If you can, can you post a video on how to take care of the dark roots once they start growing out? Thank you!
I miss my blonde
And I dyed it brown last year to grow it out and get it healthy again
Now it’s got a bit more length. Trying this!
Literally the best tutorial on CZcams! Thank you I’m doing this tonight 😄
Thank you!♡
Followed every step & loving the results! Thanks for the video 💖
I'm going to wait a few days, and then apply Artic Fox Electric Paradise 💃
Ciara June awesome! Let me know how it goes! (:
I watched your video, liked it, saved it... got all the supplies from Sally's.... did the process, and my hair went from Black #1 to Blonde #9 and Blonde #10. Boom Baby. Success. Oh, and also lovely shades of purple with my shampoo and conditioner but I actually like that for now ;) Thanks for your video, love
That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing!♡
OMG.....thank you....you saved me hundreds doing my daughter's hair and it turned out perfect....other than the bleach damage but the color is AMAZING......thank you thank you thank you.....oh and thank you for not being one of the many annoying other video's that I have watched u r GREAT
Christine Cravens wow, thank you!♡
Your blonding video is the first one to give me the confidence to lighten my hair. Going to place an order on Sally’s online. Thanks for sharing your technique with us!
best of luck! let me know if you have any questions! (:
i plan on dyeing my hair while i’m my zoom calls today i bought everything and i’m going to follow this religiously thank you🙏💜💜
Best of luck to you!
Wow looks very nice on you this blonde color
gaby79nl thank you (:
I just did this an honestly it turned out amazing!!! I used a 30 developer and bleached twice and it worked great! Also used a mask in between each wash and it helped keep my hair from frying to death. Thank you for this because I was sick of black hair!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked! (:
Im about to do this today! Was platinum and went to go med brown g . It came out black ...its been two weeks ....im following this every step of the way! But i would like to achieve a strawberry blonde or a dark blonde im a natural dark blonde. Idk🤔 been wanting strawberry for a while.
@@stellacelestia2690 make sure to wash and rinse the crap out of your hair after the color fix or it wont work and can turn dark again. Also masks masks masks. My hair feel pretty good with only minimal damage.
I have also been dying my hair for several years and last week I dyed my hair really dark brown, similar to yours at the start of the video. I was blonde before and I wish I didn’t go dark. Thank u for this video, I’m gonna try what you did 🤞🏻
I hope it goes well for you! ♡
I’m following your process as I’m typing this! Lol I’ve bleached my hair so many times but I feel like this video is so thought out and has given me something good to follow because going blonde the process can get so overwhelming! I just washed the color fix out and my hair looks pretty orange (coming from very dark brown) so I’m hoping this goes well!! Please never get rid of this video because I can see myself referencing it a lot!
That's awesome, thank you! ♡ And it's here to stay haha (:
WHOAyouguys ok so update & I just have to say thank you!! I went from very dark brown box colored hair and got to a dirty natural blonde color from following these steps!! This video is so helpful. I can’t wait to go a bit lighter in the summer months.
@@abigailcosma7502 I'm so glad it's working for you! Thanks for the update :D
Your hair always comes so perfect on the color !!! Omg amazing
Mine always tend to be orange 🍊😵😪
Yes Morales thank you! And toner goes a long way
I want to go back to blonde again and only dye the underneath. I want my natural and healthy hair back! Thank you for the video and inspiration!
I'm starting my black to blonde journey, this was a great tutorial. I've been doing my homework and trying my best to go into my "post mental breakdown makeover" responsibly . As an alternative to the color fix: I did a bleach wash instead and got it to about the same level. I'm giving my hair 2 days between and tomorrow is bleach day!
Thanks so much for this! I did a brown box dye right before quarantine and it turned out terrible looking for my skin tone and rosy-ness. Your video is life saving!! I’m ordering the supplies now.
I hope everything goes well for you!♡
be careful! I'm a professional and even through the video i can see your hair is very very close to being ruined. Just stay far away from bleach and permanent color for a little bit. I recommend using a demi permanent color for toner or using a 5 volume developer with the wella toner. the 5 vol will deposit the toner only, using it with a 20 volume will make your blonde slightly lighter, which you don't need and which is very damaging. A demi with a 10 volume or less will also not damage much. It looks good! Just be very careful with it now
Anastasia Ives I appreciate your advice! I've been dying my hair soo much these past few months so I know this last time was kinda all it can take for a while. It's been a few weeks now and I've just been doing argan oil treatments and not washing it very often and it's strength and softness is improving a lot. I'm still gonna wait quite a bit before i dye it again but since it's blonde now I won't have to do anything extreme next time.
WHOAyouguys sounds good! sleeping in hair masks is good too. ion has some awesome leave in relate treatments that are suuuper cheap but suuuper good
Anastasia Ives thank you! (:
WHOAyouguys try an aphogee protein treatment. That'll help the strength of your hair as well.
Professional ruined my hair, she obviously knows what she is doing. My stupid hairdresser just blobbed bleach on my black hair, I’m an ash blonde naturally. Her hair looks better after all she has done to it than my one visit to a professional. Girl who read this don’t ever go to a hairstylist that is over 30 for anything, they are old fashioned and ignorant about modern color or haircuts. They will leave you with the bleach and don’t even check it right. It’s not only my experience, many horror stories on CZcams. And they will ask you to pay horrid amount of money. They have to get that cash.... so they will prolong the process and you will end up with damaged hair in the end because bleach is bleach!!!! You can flaunt your hairdresser title all you want but bleach damages hair you use it in salon or at home.
super informative, i’m about to bleach my whole head for the first time and this eased my nerves lol
Katrina Berthold let me know how it goes!
Finally after watching so many videos on the bleach /developer and all the steps needed.
Thanks
Glad I could help!
Love this video. Thank you for uploading this. I got all of the ingredients you used and I am excited to go blonde now. Fingers crossed 🤞
I hope it goes well for you! 💕
Im literally doing this tonight
how'd it go?
a rashid terrible, clumps of my hair well out as i over processed the bleach, it turnt bright orange. I have no dyed it brown and have bought a ton of argan oil :)
@@jambob5963 yikes. i did the same on already over processed hair 10 months ago. i decided to shave it. now that it's grown out i was tempted to dye it again but im gonna take your experience as a warning. hair oil + protein in take will grow and heal your hair. good luck! : )
a rashid from now on im not dying my hair again, im lettimg it all grow out. Thanks!!
@@jambob5963 raw organic coconut oil. Like the kind you find in a grocery store in a baking aisle. Maybe not a baking aisle but in a grocery food store LOL. It will be your best friend trust me it works better than most hair masks it works better than most homemade hair masks it works better than most salon products
Holy moly, your mannerisms, Voice tone, personality, I don't know what it is..... Beautiful Soul....😍
By the way nice Tutorial.
alfredo quezada You’re gross stop being a pervert
@@blackcrow159 Sorry I didn't even notice your Comment after so Long, you definitely win the Toxic lottery didn't yeah Love!?.
I’ve got box dyed dark briwn hair with a warm dark blonde underneath, my Mom is a stylist and never gets my hair cool enough so I told him I’m gonna go it alone this time :) and I’ll be following this video! I really hope it works out! Will update in about a week. I’ll be using Elimen8 color corrector instead of color fix. I’ve got a pixie cut too so hopefully I won’t have to chop any off!
This is great so excited to try it out
People that don't have dark brown hair like us would never understand why we NEED volume 40...😿😿😿. I love your hair c:
Thank you! And yeah, there have been a few times I've tried to use 30 (i also have really thick hair) and it just didn't work out. I might have been fine if i let the 30 volume process longer but i didn't feel comfortable leaving it on longer than like 30 minutes.
Be super careful with the 40 volume, depending on your hair texture. I have fine hair (but a ton of it) that is naturally dark brown. My stylist never needs to use over 20 volume and I lift quite easily.
H K thank you, i should have addressed that the thinner the hair, the lower in developer you may need to go.
You look so good with blonde hair!! And this video is so informative good job!
Thanks!
I stumbled on this video yesterday , and I just want to say Thankyou !!! .. I followed your advice and my hair came out platinum white in 2 days of my bleaching journey. This is this only hair bleaching video on CZcams that actually is easy to follow and makes sense !!! Thankyou so much !!!!! 😊🤟🏼🤍
You're so calming to watch! Great video thanks!
Thank you! :D
If color fix doesn't lift in the first 25 minutes can you wash it and put it on again
Wow that looks great ♥️♥️I am bleaching my hair rn lol
The blonde looks great on you! Much better than dark!! Nice video! :D
My red was soon stubborn! Even after the colorful twice. I had to bleach 2x and toned with T28. First time was T18 and it didntvtake out reddish. Your video helped me tons. Thank you!!
Here's a tip--saturate your hair with coconut oil before bleaching. It really helps protect your hair when bleaching.
I asked my hairdresser about that. Does nothing..don't do it
Jennifer Wells do you leave the coconut oil in or wash it out? Won’t this dilute the bleach and not be as effective?
Essie Lawless it actually depend on ur hair type some will moisture it some will striped the moisture out but the other side u leave it in!
@@jessylawless4690 Ive been checking tons of websites and videos and I heard that coconut oil doesn't interfere with the bleach process but it does somehow delay the process a little bit idk? lol
Naeira K i asked my hairdresser about it and she said to do it
You nailed it gurl :3
Passion Fruit thank you!
doing this later tonight, thanks so much 🥺💖
Got every thing on the list + coconut oil for adding to it when I bleach it. Gonna do it today on the underside of my naturally dark brown hair. Eventually wanna do black w a red tint to my brown hair and have this blondish grey on the underside
Your dark hair is very striking.
You look way better with the darker hair, some ppl cannot do the blonde look
@@lindaclark9925 no one asked Linda
No blonde is better
The reason why you have so much left over is you can use it multiple times to get more color out before bleaching. It's best to use the color fix a few times to get all the color out before bleaching especially if going platinum.
Yes!!!!
Thank you for posting this I found it very helpful 😊 and your hair came out really cute.
Thank you!
@@WHOAyouguys you bet.
Super informative thank you for leaving the video!!! Best one I’ve seen!! I have a friend who is in beauty school who I’ve been asking to strip the color out of my hair and dye it a pastel grey/purple and she insists that it’s impossible. I’ve been box dying my hair black since I was 14 and I’m 26 I’m apprehensive to make a change but itching to do it!
Best of luck! It may be a bit more difficult for you since it's been dyed black for so long but the process may just take more time. (:
blonde really suits you, ive been wanting that color for so long but im lowkey scared to damage is considering how much i dye my hair, does any one have any tips?
Apply coconut oil the day before diying it and and hour before. It will really help
Going to sallys today, i've always wanted to be blonde! lol wish me luck!!!
For me, doing a bleach bath (my blend: bleach and developer mixed up first, then adding equal amount of blue tinted Head & Shoulders shampoo and mixing all together... putting on towel dried hair. It gets nice and foamy, spreads easily) to fix the stubborn hairs that don't lighten as much, look patchy, etc. has been a less harmful, yet still very effective way of lifting and fixing trouble spots (instead of full on bleaching again). Maybe give it a try next time! I've even done it twice in a row, back to back, and for me, little to no damage. Had I full on bleached it? I'd have little to no hair. Which I've also done before 🤣♥️
Blue is your color! Nice end result.... Good job!
Jael Jade thank you! (:
I'm doing this today. Fallowing your instructions! Wish me luck!
Khyal Ahkeahbo lemme know how it goes!
How did it turn out?
Khyal Ahkeahbo yeah tell us I’m doing this today

I legit bought all of these things so I could follow this tutorial! i really hope it works ;-;
I hope it goes well for you!♡
Your hair came out great! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
I want to try this so bad! I know it sounds crazy but I am going to cut a piece of hair and do the whole process on that to see if I can do it. This tutorial is the first one to not scare me. I love prism lites and it smells like apple. I have a salon style dryer to conditioner my hair after. I can’t wait to see what it all looks like.
I've heard that baking soda can take off color to color treated hair. Do you know anything about that? I've got dark brown hair and want to go either blond or grey/silver since I'm already going grey naturally (at 33....tragic.) Any help is appreciated!! Thanks, girl!!
I’m a stylist and girl you did good ❗️❗️
Thank you! :D
sarahashlee_ I over the last week I used color fix 2x, I’m trying to go from box colored black to just my natural medium brown. I have a red/brown/brass color right now- so the black definitely lifted. I’m wondering if I should try to bleach it so it’s a little lighter before I do the all over brown? Or just add the lighter brown now?
Thanks for an honest and informative video. x
The most informative video I've ever watched. I love your hair.
Thank you!♡
@@WHOAyouguys your welcome 😊
The Color Fix can be used up to 3 times to lift out ALL of the artificial color. There's a third step you use to oxidize your hair. If your hair becomes darker after step 3 this is telling you there's still more artificial dye remaining in your hair. I feel you should have used the Color Fix a second time. Then if your hair was still pulling dark, wait a week or so and use it a third time. Then wait a couple of weeks without shampooing, allowing natural oils to build up before bleaching your hair. This would have effectively lifted the most artificial color out of your hair with the least amount of damage. Once you get to the bleaching step; begin with the mid-lengths (a couple inches from roots and a few inches above ends) of your hair. Apply bleach here first. Your ends will process quickly as will virgin roots/regrowth. Once mid-lengths are lifting up well, apply bleach to roots, once lifting well pull through to ends (ONLY if absolutely needed to lift, otherwise avoid). If your hair isn't lifted to a pale, pale yellow the toner will NOT tone it. You'll end up like 98% of people on CZcams who are impatient and tone orange, orange-gold, gold, gold-yellow hair and wonder why the toner doesn't work or why their hair is uneven reflecting warm tones. You MUST reach a pale yellow tone for toners to work and for your hair to be even. Think of it this way, orange, orange-gold, gold, gold-yellow hair represent various LEVELS (hair color levels range from 1 black to 12 hi-lift blonde) of hair color. Toner is like a sheer varnish that coats and neutralizes color within the hair shaft. It can only neutralize and cover pale yellow (level 9 maybe, best 10 and up) to achieve the appropriate TONE desired. This is a LONG PROCESS that if done properly spans weeks to months depending on an individual's situation. Platinum hair and/or pale blonde is a high maintenance lifestyle. It can't be rushed without damaging your hair or getting undesired results. Of course this is my opinion. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who wants to go platinum.
V thank you soo much for your advice, i had no idea that you could use color fix multiple times, my hair would definitely be less damaged. The reason i started with the roots was because i knew there was blonde underneath the rest of the hair waiting to come out so it wasn't going to take long to lift. I will be using your tips though, i am just too spontaneous for it to take months done properly. However, this time I'm giving my hair recovery time before the next transition.
You're welcome. I have one more bleaching before I go white blonde. So far the process has taken me 1.5 months. I removed permanent color twice. Then a conditioned bleach bath. Then two more bleach sessions. All of this over 6 to 7 weeks. Eventually I will use Wella 12A Frosty Ash Blonde to achieve a white blonde. Finally I'll add a smokey shadow root (level 6 light ash brown) smudge/sombre. I only use 20 volume for all of this. I have the advantage of sitting in a dry sauna to help lift hair. Edit: I've used a protein conditioner (ApHogee 2 step) once. It must be followed exactly as instructed or the protein can destroy your hair. I also do a pre-poo with coconut and olive oil to help prevent over moisturizing hair. It's very important to maintain a proper moisture/protein balance.
V wow, you're so informative and you really know what you're doing. Could you do me a huge favor? If you have an instagram i would love to see a picture of your hair when you're done because you don't see many healthy white blondes because not everyone does it with that routine and people say it's pretty much impossible without frying your hair.
i did a bleach brush through to lighten my hair and it became pretty uneven, could i use colour fix over all of it (including 3 inch roots)??
Update. Upon further research I won't use Wella 12A Frosty Ash to achieve a white blonde. Sit down, wait for it, once my hair got to the super pale yellow I used Not Your Mother's Purple Shampoo on DRY HAIR and left it on for about an hour. It turned my hair platinum blonde. White blonde. It was tinged with purple, so I used equal parts of clear/white (no color) shampoo and 20 volume develop with a teaspoon of baking soda. I lathered this up on towel dried hair and massaged it for about 15 minutes. It removed the purple tinge left by the purple shampoo. The only thing I used to "tone" my hair was purple shampoo on DRY HAIR. No Wella t18 or any other toner. Of course my hair is dry from all of this. I've been using protein and moisture treatments. I also chose to use ION 10NA (natural ash) Demi Permanent color to gloss my hair. It makes it shine a very, very, very pale beige. So it's white platinum blonde shimmering palest beige. Also, I'm NOT using the semi-permanent color for my roots or any other part of my hair. I researched it more and it sounds like a horrible mess to get out once you use it. Unlike permanent and demi-permanent hair color that have removers, semi-permanent colors DO NOT have removers. It even says on the instructions there are no removers for it. Not even bleach with remove it if it stains your hair. So no semi-permanent hair color for me. I will use an ION demi permanent color on my roots to smudge it, if I smudge it. Or I was looking at the ION permanent Hi-lift color 12.2V (violet base) cool blonde and/or 12.1NA (natural ash base) to lift my dark ash brown roots. I haven't decided if I want shadow smudge roots or all blonde. Either way, I'm taking it easy on my hair. It is dry, although not crazy dry and it is shedding some, although not crazy shedding. It's damaged at a reasonable amount of damage for what I've done to it. It isn't impossible to get white hair but it takes a long time. I had ugly stages of gold-orange where I wore a ponytail or hat for some weeks. Now, my hair is a shimmering ultra pale beige white platinum pearl color. No silver. I don't do tutorials or have videos to share. I surf CZcams for information, I research it and try it. That's how I came across your channel. Anyway, this is what has worked for me. If I had to do it all over again, I would have taken even longer periods of time between bleach sessions, say a week or two longer. Slow and steady wins the platinum blonde race.
I'm watching this right after doing more highlights at home 👌😂
thank you x a million for mentioning how much bleach/developer you used overall. I knew the ratio of what to use from binge watching other bleaching videos, but I wasn't sure about how much product I actually needed to buy and I've watched A LOT of videos the past two weeks. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Wicked helpful video even after watching so many before!
Thank you!♡
Super honest and the best DIY I've seen. It's important to not color or at times tone and porous (spelling?) Hair. I have for me it's the ends. They seen with for me the ash in the toner darkens my ends to a non color. so I use clear ion. For shine. But I'm glad you are the first video I've seen that says something about the ends. I'm a dark blonde but have bleached for a long time. I'm 47 now. Lol. Anyways thanks for sharing. To find the hair that is light and is porosity .....And not messing with them if You have Porosity in your hair it will end up ashy ugly. Lol. Which is basically what you said. I wanted to share that. All the Wella ash products would green purple my ends and it was driving me crazy until I learned why that was happening. Ash is hard on porous type hair. Ends usually. Okay my 2 cents. Thank u. Great video.
Kristen Lacey thank you!
