Hope this helps!


thanks!

does the wella frosty ash make it more white than the 323?
whenever i see 'ash' in a color discription im scared it might turn out way too grey.
yes.gif

I was too- but I did my research- it def gives that white white tone you are looking for with a pretty silvery- not grey- tone to it. I looooooooove it.

Okay so I bleached my roots with Wellite oil lightener yesterday. It worked very fast and I was able to get it to a light lemon shade easily. I am a level 7 dark blonde naturally though. Anyway, today I applied the Wella White Lady toner and it changed very quickly on me while I was processing. It turned a dark purple on my hair super fast. I left it on for about 15 minutes, hoping that my hair wouldn't be a purple shade. I washed it out with purple shampoo and conditioner. I looked in the mirror and while the lemon yellow was mostly gone, my hair now has a pale purple/silver tint to it. I want it to be slightly more platinum blonde. Will the toner wash out more the next time I wash my hair or am I stuck with the pale purplish-silver?

Oooo so I washed my hair again and my hair is turning a nice white platinum.

So basically to achieve this, all I used was:

Wellite Oil Bleach with 20 vol. developer
Wella White Lady toner

I love the look of platinum blond hair, but I know that it won't look good on me. TT______TT Plus, my natural hair color is black, so it would be impossible for me to dye it this light without frying it. *sigh*

The color looks great on you though! You totally did an awesome job dying it at home too! Lucky butt. XD

YAY! Very happy this formula worked to get your perfect shade. I hope I can be brave enough to do this.

Thank you so much for posting this. I am in cosmetology school and no one could figure out how to lighten my hair, but your post did!

I have naturally drk brown hair (some gray eek I'm 25 lol) and have been dying it black (1N) forever. A few months ago I bleached the front of it to a level 7 then put manic panic hot hot pink on and had it like that for a few months. Anyway, a month ago I dyed it all black again and found this.

I decided not to do my whole head (I didn't want to be bald lol) but instead did a 4 inch wide by 2 inch deep section, so it was kinda funky. I bleached with blondor, 40 vol, left on for 20 min. The pink started to come through and left it on for another 15 min. Finally came up to an orangey shade. Dried it and bleached it again 2 hrs later. The yesterday I went to Sallys got Clairol color in Flaxen and 30vol but it didn't take all the orange out. Today, I got the 323d and it took most of it out, some parts are even white, but some ends underneath are still gold. Since my hair has been through a lot I figured I would do oil and conditioning treatment all week then get the wella color charms you suggested. Is it really good to take the gold out?

It looks really cool, and I think Ill touch up the black tomorrow night. Do you think I should put the wella only on the gold parts, cause some parts are white or would it not hurt to put all over? Thanks!

Actually, I think it might "POP" on your skin. That would be quite a bold statement, if you have the bold personality to go with it.

I thought Halle Berry looked excellent in the the platinum as "Storm" in the X-men movies.

agree about the brown girls/white hairs... its pretty stand out. I like it, alot.

MACtastic- I would go with the wella's all over the blonde parts. From all of my experiece with the white look- the color charms take out all of the gold. All of it. However, you may look a little silveryish/grayish in the already white parts until you wash it, twice. Thats just the purple/blues leaving their mark, lol. It will be awesome! Post pics, please?

I am so frustrated. I have tried EVERYTHING to get my hair your shade and it's just not happening. I had brown hair dyed black, stripped that and so I ended up with sort of redding brown hair left. I then bleached it to an annoying copperish blonde. Tried again to dye with some ION stuff from Sally's (reccomended by a girl working there), it did /nothing/ at all, except sizzle my scalp that is. Then I found this posting and was so excited as I thought, finally, I would be able to achieve my wanted color. Alas, no. I have light blonde with yellow tinged roots and streaks throughout but an odd carrot top/strawberry blonde left over everywhere else. No matter what I do I just can't get to platinum. I know it's possible for it to happen, I've seen others with it who've started with natural black hair, I just can't seem to get it right and the salon is just way too costly for me (plus I hate having other people mess with my hair, no clue why).
Sooooo... after all that, any suggestions? >_^

Fantastic. That is what I wanted for my hair, being a brunette my stylist said "not possible" so I ended up with highlights

I have no idea how you got your hair to do that without making it the texture of cotton candy. I am impressed..and envious

Blonde Mafia- Your hair is gorgeous!! I have way too much red for my hair to stay that blonde. I guess I will have to settle for Strawberry Blonde when I get this medium red brown bleached up. One time when I was trying for platinum I melted my hair in a highlighting cap.
