thanks all,
Pink- the problem you have is that you had dyed black hair. Those colors tend to stick around a whole lot longer and a lot of the time have red in them, with out meaning to. This is why you got the coppery out of it.
My advice to you, is patience, I helped my very good friend achieve this color not too long ago, and she had dyed dark brown, espresso, hair. It just took several times to get it there.
I would use the Wella Wellite Creme Oil bleach first of all. Use it once, and leave on about 45 to 60 mins- no longer. Condtion REALLY WELL. REALLY REALLY WELL. Take some deep conditioner and wrap that head in a warm towel, let it sit. Wait it out a few days. Then, if you are not that lovely banana peel shade of yellow, do it again.
Then go on with the Wella Color Charms Frosty Ash. Use 2 tubes, because your hair will be porus. Please, only use a 20 vol developer as you do not want to fry your scalp any more than necessary.
Also- if its not getting that silvery quality you want, my best suggestion is this, the Shimmering Lights Shampoo AND the manic panic Virgin Snow toner. I swear by them, totally. Please let me know how it turns out, and if you need more help, please PM me and we can chat.
Ruthless, I can't believe your stylist said that too you!! I have seen the darkest of asian hair go this platinum with very little damage... she was just skurred.
Im not saying I havent damaged my hair, it can get raggedy, but I trim often and condition very well. This kind of hair, even on a blonde is very hard work. Esp now that I have the pink and it fades fast. But thats just Manic Panic, so its not going to hurt me. It's worth all of the work to me.
Its my signature.
Thanks Jessica- but i so admire strawberry blonde hair, my granny had it and it was beauuuutiful!

. Anyway got tired of having someone bleach it and ALWAYS overlapping the bleach and ruining my hair so I started doing it myself. I have been using clairol professional high lift 12N w/ 40 under the dryer for 60 mins TWICE then tone with a redken platinum ice 9V. It lifts pretty well I just cant seem to get back to that banana yellow I got with bleach. This process doesnt fry my hair at all. Any I deas I could be doing diffrent? I dont need the color u have now but obviously close would be great. Let me know and fab job perfecting your own hair color! You go girl !!!!!!!!!!
