Bleaching natural hair

Going blonde?
So I have natural hair...I've colored my hair over the years plenty times, but never successfully been platnium blonde hair..
Now, (took forever) I grew all the color out and now back to natural to start fresh. I bought l'oreal super...

blonde bleach. now dying natural hair with this bleach what kind of stages will it go threw? And how long will it take to get to the color I want.

If it goes threw stages to get what I want what do I need to do to achieve it without killing my hair dramaticaly.
Thanks!

tiff unfortunately your hair will have to go through many stages to get to blonde have a look at my wedding photos and you can see how light my hair is (its not natural but shhh dont tell anyone hehe)
umm what happens is your hair will need to be stripped of the natural pigments of colour. Firstly it will go orange with the first application. then with a second application a yellowy blonde then finally with another applicatrion the platinum colour you want. from my experiences you are better to either go to a salon and gt them to use a special peroxide which not leave any yellowie colour in your hair a lot of the dyes you buy in the shops for home treatment will still leave a yellowie tint and will damage your hair. ( even though a level of damage is something you wont be able to avoid but you can lessen the damage at a salon) If you are to do it at home it can take some time and probably about 4 months before you get to the stage you want. They recommend you wait some time between applications to help reduce damage.

I always found that no matter what I did even at certain salons I ended up with a yellowie tinge in my hair until I went to a salon just before my wedding the hairdresser explained to me that this was a new type of paroxide which reduced the yellowie tinge you can see how my hair has a silvery platnium tinge which I love. You can also get a silver toned rinse put over your hair if you end up with a yellowish tinge.

The other thing is if you decide you want to do it at home no matter what go to a shop like one that sells salon products to the public and explain what you want to do and they can offer you a peroxide that may be less damaging and work better then that you buy at the supermarket such as the loreal products etc.

Good luck hope I helped

thanks a lot. I figured it wouldnt be a easy task.
If I were to go to a salon and tell them what I want, with the stages they have to do, are you meaning that all that will be done in the one sitting? Or is that involving going back and forth to the salon?

It depends on the salon you go to and how dark your hair is. Most will ask you to come back for more than one sitting because of the risk of damaging your hair if they do it all at once. Especially if you are looking for a very light look good luck and be sure to show some pictures if you end up getting it done xo

ok thanks!
my hair is like a medium brown =)

actually Ill post a old picture of me when I had blonde highlights on top and black on bottom, and if you can give me your opinion if I should go a platinum blonde or maybe rethink it. give me a few minutes and ill post a picture

Your welcome, you should only need 2 or 3 sittings

You will make a very beautiful blonde, You have a great skin colour and beautiful bright eyes for blonde hair. And your eyebrows are not to dark, I think (if you like it) platinum blonde on the top with thin a layer of chocolate brown underneath in the back will look stunning?

aw thank you!
hm thats a idea too
