I bleached my dark brown hair to this color.
Do you think I should bleach once more or I can color over this?
And how should I chose my die box? I want a dirty blonde. I mean what should be writen on the package? Because I don't think I can trust the pic they put on the box.
Or do you have a brand suggestion?

And is it true I should die the hair immediatly after bleaching or should I wait?

I think you will have to bleach again cos it's looking quite orange, to get a dirty blond you will need your hair more ash toned.

You should try using a purple toner first to get rid of the brassy tones. If that doesn't work then try bleaching. Toning would be a lot less damaging on your hair through.

I don't think a toner will be enough

Thanks girls!

Shaily I already used the toner but it didn't make a big change.
So I guess I'll bleach once more.
You think I can use a 40 volume, if I keep it shortly on my hair?
My hair doesn't feel damaged. It actually feels pretty moisturuzed espacially after sleeping with olive oil on for two nights.

I have found it useful to use the foam dyes. It seems to spread the dye more evenly throughout my hair. That is just my preference. One brand is John Frieda you could try. I am not sure on the best brand. Or you can get the hair dye from Sally's. It is better than store-ought box dye and it will last longer. It probably has more chemicals so deep condition! And always deep deep condition your hair after dying!

You don't chose a box color period. You flee and never look back.

Box color has one developer that is universal. That's why you can never get the same results on two people. Salons customize your color to fit your hair type and needs. It's your personal color.

You may think you're spending less money but in the end, you'll be spending more to fix mistakes that was caused via box color.

I know you're right Allie but I'm not doing it myself to save money but because in every beauty salon I've been in my area, they have ruined my brows or gave me bad haircuts.
I mean I have very thick and bold brows, so how can you mistake with them?
How am I supposed to trust them with my hair?
I thought myself would be more careful doing my own hair. Hope I get lucky with this

I understand completely.

I would still ask around. Some salons have colorists that are trained to just do color. To be honest, haircuts are a completely different world than color. With haircuts there are about five or six foundations and stylists just create cuts off of them. Sometimes, we get a little cray and things go a little off. Good thing is, hair grows.

Color however, has theory and a three week chapter to get all the information into our heads. It's kinda like math but a little more creative. The bottom line is if you ruin the integrity of your hair it's hard to get it back to a healthier state.

Hopefully, I'm not rambling. I've just seen way too many disasters from L'Orhell.

I get it and I've heard of lots of disasters too.
That's why I hope to get luck too.
My hais feels good till now.
Thank you Allie! :)
