Bleach Blonde Brown-Blech. ORANGE!
:confused:
Okay so here's the thing. Im still a pretty young teenager(14) and I don't have a job (well I do but its only at a ladys house when she needs me-but not the point) and my mom went to cosmetology school and so that means she knows how to color hair right? Yes, but that doesn't mean she knows how my hair is going to turn out. My hair is a natural ashy grayish blonde and when I color it semi/demi/ or just permanent it always goes to a orangish color.:confused: so I guess that means I have a orange undertone right? So me and my mom decided to color my hair to ultra light blonde from a light ashy brown color and my roots had grown out and were virgin hair so when we colored it my roots were the color it was supposed to turn and the rest of my hair was like a orangey golden yellow blonde and I HATED it I thought I was going to like cry. Almost did. But than like two days later it was already fading to and ashy yellow blonde which wasn't that bad but we decided that it wasn't the greatest so we did bleach blonde highlights. It didn't color my roots and it left splotches in certain parts of hair:confused: which I don't get and it TOTALLY fryed it so we trimmed it and the fryed part is better now, but there is still splotchy spots on top for some reason. And we don't get it so my mom got toner and treatment. So were going to treat my hair first than tone it. Does anyone know how the toner will turn out on my type of hair? Because I am reallllllllllly worried about how its going to turn out. I am tired of getting disappointed every time. Every time my hair turns out with a undertone of orange. So does anyone know what toner would do to my hair? If so pleaseeee help me! I don't know what to turn to next.. ANY help is welcome. Thank you so much.
As always k such!:)

Hi there!
When you're dying your hair from light to dark, you need to pre-pigment the hair to avoid orange colours.
I'm guessing the splotches occurred due to uneven colour application.
You need a blue toner to counteract the orange colour. But it depends on the porosity of your hair. Sometimes if hair is very damaged, the toner grabs onto the hair and sticks which leaves a bluey colour (if you use a blue toner that is). So make sure you condition your hair, until it is in good condition again. I find coconut oil is a very good hair conditioner, studies suggest it absorbs well into the hair. Apply the oil onto the hair at night the leave it on over night. Wash off in the morning.

Okay thanks. But would the coconut oil leave my hair even more greasy? Because right now I have very oily hair.. so would that effect it?

No. I have found that coconut oil is probably one of the lightest oils around. I have very oily hair too, because it is very fine.
It only takes one shampoo to wash it out also. But if you're still worried, apply the oil to the mid lengths and ends. It washes out easy.

Okay thanks. I will have to try that.. and as for my hair we toned it with a toner called natural light blonde and it turned out very pretty just not my normal hair color which is okay with me I just wanted blonde hair back..
It fryed my hair even worse though. It made it feel like doll hair, no joke. But I have been using deep conditioning treatments so its sort of getting back to its normal self again. But I think I will try the coconut oil because I still have like fryed parts in my hair where my mom can't trim it up.
Is there any special way to apply the oil? And should you put an old towell over the pillow you sleep on so you don't ruin it or does it not make a difference?

You can make your hair drier by using oil. I recommend that you keep doing the deep conditioning treatments until your hair is in a healthy stage. You can also use a leave-in conditioner to moisturize and soften the dry parts of your hair.

I have to disagree with you on that one prettylady. Oil is the best hair conditioner out there, especially coconut and olive oil. They are proven to penetrate the hair shaft and make the hair much healthier. My source from beautybrains.com Check it out!!
@kyl. I just warm the oil a little, and don't use too much oil. Maybe a teaspoon or two. Then just apply with hands and massage into hair. With coconut oil I have never really had much problem with rubbing off on my pillow because it so nice and light in texture

Sweetie, oil treatments coats the hair, but will not repair damaged hair. It can also the make your hair dull, limp and leave greasy residues. And too much oil can sometimes make your hair drier. When you saturate your hair with oil, you will need to shampoo more than once to remove the oil, which can strip all the natural oils from your hair, making it drier. It's best to use conditioners or deep conditioning treatments to strengthen and moisturize the hair. I should know this.

That's not really true hon. At the salon I work for we do many hot oil treatments and get clients coming back for more. If you do saturate your hair in oil, apply shampoo to dry hair, it won't lather as much but will still remove the rest of the residue. That is in my experience anyway and from reading beautybrains, real scientists answering questions about beauty

Most oils do not have the ability to penetrate into the hair shaft, which can only lead to more dry and damaged hair. It lays on top of the cuticle and cause build up. That is why I recommend using deep conditioners on damaged hair. This will repair the cuticles and make the appearance of your hair healthy. You can believe that website all you want, but I'm giving you the facts since I know about trichology.
