I know what everyone is going through…When having already dark hair & then going blonde it really is worth spending the extra money to have a professional do it…Because by the time ou actaully have your hair fixed & done correctly you have already spent a fortune…You think I would learn by now…I hate my hair right now…I feel like I am from the future with this bright ass glow…Maybe I’ll e a flashlight for halloween! lol…I’m just going to color my hair a Golden Brown and forget about this blonde gold crap and soon in a few months when my hair has time to adjust to all the chemicals I have abusing with then I will pay a pro to make me look fabulous again…Girls…When will we learn?! lolololol

Advice for people who find the toner or ash shampoo to dull, you can lift it out by using a anti-dandruff shampoo on dry hair and then rinse off. Totally random suggestion at my drug store but it worked for me!

I originally had a darker color on my hair like a level 5 with blonde highlights. It faded out to a orangey blonde. I went to lower priced hairdresser and asked for darker lowlights and blonde to cover my roots. She ended up telling me after she processed my hair that she used a variety of levels of colors like a 2, 3 & 7. It turned out to be almost black, DARK ash, totally oppisite from what I was hoping to see. So then went to a professional to cover up her half-assed hair job. She used bleach to lighten the dark strands in my hair. All those dark spots torned a brassy orange. UGH!! Ill try Shimmer Lights purple shampoo and try to avoid messing up my hair again. LESSON TO BE LEARNED… the amout of money spent is actually less when you go to a good salon in the first place.

I used Clariol Lighest Natural blonde on my roots from Sally’s Beauty supply and my hair turned a scary, light brassy orange. I went back to Sally’s and the cashier suggested an ash toner (Second Nature) and now my hair is very dark and dull looking. All it did was make it drab and too dark esp in the bang area. I’m hoping it washes out soon because if I keep messing with it I might end up bald!

I dyed my hair with Clairol Born Blonde Ultra Blue, which specifically states on the bottle that it has ingredients to combat brassyness. HOWEVER, I followed directions precisely and left the dye in for the max amount of time, and my hair turned out bright orange-yellow. I then proceeded to get hair toner and followed the directions and it did nothing (using a Clairol blonde toner). Showed no difference. Maybe my hair has more red in it than most (I’m a medium brunette naturally). I bought blue based hair conditioner so hopefully that’ll help….
eesh, what a mess!

Thankyou!
This is really useful info.
I just got my hair dyed really blonde after being dark brown. My hair is now really brassy and orange. I have to wait 4weeks until I can go back for my next appointment which will see me go alot white, but in the meantime I don't want to be left with orange hair.
I bought a blue shampoo, designed for toning so I will try that and hope for the best.
