does anyone know what 30 volume oxident is ?? Thanks XX

Keely3780, the word "oxidant" means oxidizing agent. A 30 volume peroxide itself is an oxidant. When you use a 30 volume, it will turn the hair yellow. Hair bleaching can over process the hair and cause damage if is not monitored carefully. I hope your not planning to use a 30 volume on your hair, this should only be attempted by a professional.

i just wanted to know because i bought some loreal effasol to try an get my dark hair dye out and it said on the packet that it can be mixed wth 30 volume oxident and i wasn't sure what that was.
I've tried mixing it with water like it said but when i did a strand test it didn't get rid of all the colour very well, it left it a light gingery brown which wasn't what i was hoping for. will it work better with peroxide??

luv keely3780

Keely, in your previous post, you wanted to turn your dark hair to light ash brown. I told you that it's best to go to the salon because coloring your hair on your own can be tricky. However, you've decided to dye your hair twice, now you have two different permanent colors on your hair. If you keep coloring your hair, it's going to make it worse. Please go to the salon to get the color fixed. The hairstylist will use a professional color remover on your hair, then they will apply a corrective color. It only takes one visit to the salon, after that you can maintain the color by yourself.

Hi there, thanks for all your advice you've given me. i have been to the hairdressers and they did a few strand tests to see what they could do. they put a bleach on one and it went a gingery colour and left the hair with lots of breakages, and another they put a high lift tint, i think, and it hardly touched the colour at all. My hairdresser said i have so much colour build up that its not lifting and i need to let it fade and then they'll try again. I'm just really frustrated that no one seems to be able to anything with it. Its been this colour now for about 3 months and it doesn't seem to be fading very much, its going to take forever to grow out !!
Do you have any advice on how to fade it quicker ?
Thanks so much

Keely, dark permanent colors cannot be made lighter without first removing color. Fading the color will not get rid of the color buildup. A professional hairstylist should know that artificial color on color buildup has to be removed. Afterward, bleaching is required, then the color you desire can be applied. I don't think you plan to go to a hairdresser. If you want the fade your hair slightly, try using a dandruff shampoo or Dawn dish soap and Prell shampoo. Then apply a deep conditioning treatment to restore softness to your hair.

Thanks prettynpetite1, i honestly did go to the hairdressers and they did tell me there was nothing they could do. My hairdresser said that because my hair broke off with the strand test they did with the bleach that if she'd have put colour remover on it first it would have broken off completely, she said that was because it had been originally bleached underneath the dark colour to start with.
If she could've sorted it out for me i would have gone to them to do it, but she told me i just had to wait for it to fade and then she'd try again.
Should i go back and say what you told me and see what they say, i dont understand why she said i'd have to wait for it to fade.

Sweetie, when you applied several boxes of permanent colors, it caused a color build up and made your hair very unhealthy. Since your hair is damaged, I advise you to do a deep conditioning treatment once a week. For maximum benefit, leave it on for up to 20 minutes. It will make your hair soft and healthy again. Then go to your hairdresser and have them do a corrective color on you.
