Like bleach platinum blonde but my hair is dark and I've dyed it a hundred times what's the best way to get it super blonde without a orangy color and with the least amount of damage I'm a pro at makeup but when igt comes to hair I'm lost lol. please help!

Use a low developer about 20 volume. Get a blue toned bleach, that will cancel out the orange tones. Mix a purple toner, light semi dye, with conditioner so that the purple is real light. That will tone it to a more ashy color. Don't leave bleach on for more than 45 minutes. Put a shower cap on while the bleach is in your hair to naturally heat it. If it's still not the blonde you want, wait a week and buy a cream blonde dye, and use that to tone your hair without developer.

Or is it all the same shyt? lol.

Go to Sally''s Beauty Supply and get the Blue Flash Powder Bleach. Go with the Ion Developer because it's more like a gel and it smells like apples instead of that awful bleach smell. Good luck!!

If you have dye in your hair right now you should use a dye remover otherwise the bleach will have more work to do. I recommend L'Oreal Quick Blue bleach because it's a blue bleach so it'll lessen brassiness. I used the Quick Blue with 30vol developer and the combination lifted my naturally black hair to a light golden blonde. Because you already dye your hair, you should use 20vol developer to minimize damage and see how much your hair lifts. To get that ashy platinum color, use Wella Color Charm Toner in T18 after bleaching.

I really recommend a professional =/ I've had some version of white/silver/platinum/whatever on and off for the past 12 years and I would never do the bleaching myself! I have done all my actual colors and toning myself so I'm not lost when it comes to hair, but bleach is super volatile and fickle so I would employ the help of someone who has actually worked with it before. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, sorry =(

Can I ask you some questions first?
What do you do to your hair on a daily basis? Do you wash it in hot water, blowdry, straighten it everyday? (This is because if you apply a lot of heat daily or often to your hair it will cause more damage to your hair, and esp with bleached hair you want to be extremely careful & might have to alter your daily routine a bit) & How often do you wash it?
What are the undertones of your hair- (both your virgin regrowth and the already processed/dyed hair)? (does your hair pull red/orange/yellow?)
Now about the condition of your hair- How much damage is done to your hair right now/what's the porosity of your hair currently? (porosity is determined by how your hair absorbs water, and an easy test you can do is after you've shampooed and conditioned hair without any product, while it's towel dried still- how does the texture feel? Is it sticky, silky, straw like, rough, soft, or still really wet?) How thick/thin is your hair? And what have you been coloring your hair with recently (brands, is it boxed dye, etc)
