Beginning my hair journey 🖤——>🩶

I know, I know what everyone is thinking.

“Who would ever want to go grey when you’re young?!”

.

ME!

.

I’ve heard it from the older generation and even the younger but I always said if I ever started to grey I would embrace it and now I think I’m just getting a little impatient 😅

.

the goal currently is to achieve the desired maintenance blonde on my own, hydrate and care for my hair and then have a hair stylist work the color wheel magic that I have tried and failed to master on my own.

.

By the last photo you can see that I was able to achieve my desired color… but only for a day! I unfortunately did not do my research and the toner I used washed out with just one wash 😭

But not only this while the image is beautiful it is deceiving! I was able to get very very close to my desired color but the image is unfortunately a color filter and my overall hair color was super uneven!

.

But now since my hair is FRYED! It is time to give it a break, care for her and take the bleaching process slow.

I did go with a hair halo which was extremely difficult to accomplish on my own.

Do it yourself

⭐️Overall rating: 6/10

I don’t recommend if you have been black box dying your hair for decades…. I bleached it far too many times I care to admit 😐

💵 Price: roughly $100 for all products (I believe it came in under)

Additional Tips:

If you over tone your hair mix shampoo and baking soda and let sit in your hair for 5 minutes and wash out with shampoo. It will not completely remove the toner but will reduce it significantly!

... Read moreEmbarking on a hair transformation journey can be both exciting and daunting, especially when navigating the world of hair color. Many individuals, especially those transitioning from darker shades, like black box dyes, encounter obstacles when trying to achieve lighter tones. It's important to understand that patience is key; achieving your desired blonde may require multiple sessions and careful product selection. Using high-quality products, such as Wella Bleach Powder or specialized toners, can significantly impact your results. Additionally, hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining hair health during such processes. Incorporating deep conditioning treatments, like Guac Sauce Hair Mask or natural options like Raw Organic Coconut Oil, can help rejuvenate and protect bleached hair. If you're struggling with undesired tones post-dye, a mixture of shampoo and baking soda can help mitigate over-toned hair, allowing you to maintain your look while correcting color issues. Remember to always consult updated resources or professionals to get the right advice and ensure your hair journey is not only stylish but also healthy.
