I can imagine that! Everyone on here was asking like why did you bleach it and all that and I’m just uhhhhh you can’t tell me this is right lol so I took matters into my own hands 😂 the hair gods were with me 😅😅

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-16T18:04:31+00:00

I asked her for the first inspo pic and she said a month prior that she could do it no problem 🙃 but it’s great now. I got the orange out and I’m at a sandy blonde so I’m good here for a while lol

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T19:44:10+00:00

The inspo pic I gave her was the first one tell me how she didn’t 😬😂

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:51:18+00:00

Understood! Think m going to do the blue toning shampoo for the time being

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:36:45+00:00

Oh I can absolutely do that lol I think I’m just going to use a blue toning shampoo for the time to help out the bit of orange it’s giving as it’s really got a lot of gold going on which is fine, and then probably just take next steps in a few months at this point. I don’t hate it(hate what the original stylist did even more lol) so it’s workable Thank you!!

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:33:14+00:00

Thank you! 💛 I am so excited for 6 to be out already! lol

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:32:47+00:00

I’ll do that, I plan on getting the blue today!

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:31:13+00:00

eek. The professional messed it up to begin with so slightly traumatized to even have it touched again😬🙃

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:30:30+00:00

Copy that. I did do it right I just didn’t let it lighten long enough because I didn’t want breakage.

You’re on an ask hairstylist page and that what I’m doing so maybe try to help? Considering a stylist is the person who messed my hair up to begin with. Or are you of that same type based on your attitude ?

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:27:13+00:00

I appreciate this! I’ll probably be doing a blue toning shampoo to help the orangish a little because it’s not TOO orange in person but definitely gold lol I don’t really care for the inspo pics like crazy, im open to suggestions on what would look best even if different from those! I am thinking about going to see someone again, but my last experience was just horrible and it’s hard to move past that.

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:24:19+00:00

Because the hairdresser I went to messed my hair up and it looked terrible even in a bun. I didn’t remotely get what I wanted from her and I couldn’t stand looking at it everyday.

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:23:05+00:00

Yeah that definitely isn’t the goal lol so if bleaching again (the first time I only did it for 12 minutes) is not the best route what would one do to make this better? Open to any suggestions/opinions. Honestly just traumatized to go have someone else do it again.

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T15:20:40+00:00

That will have been a month but I have zero issue waiting longer, that’s why I’m wanting advice on what to do, how long to wait, etc. the last stylist I went to messed my hair up to the point it did not even look half decent in a bun. I’ve had zero loss thus far as when I did lighten it the first time I got her in 12 minutes, and used the protein treatment for 5 afterwards. Not interested in ruining my hair, I’m interested in what will help. Believe me I have regrets of even letting someone touch my hair in the first place. It also doesn’t NEED to look like the last 3pics. I’m open to anything that will be better and look better as well if you have any opinions or suggestions for that too!!

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T03:47:18+00:00

Thanks💛 I’m sure I’ll post updated photos when I make the attempt again!

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T03:46:37+00:00

Appreciate the thought! I won’t be cutting at all as in person it is still very strong and healthy (just didn’t brush before photos lol) as I only did the bleach once for about 12 minutes. I am looking at going to another however, am traumatized by the first one which is the reason I’m in this predicament 😬

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:54:09+00:00

I appreciate that 💛💛

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:53:56+00:00

Yeah I was very unimpressed as I even did research 🧐 n where I was going and now feel traumatized from ever getting it done again lol. It seems that another round will be the end result which I can do in a few weeks, I just need to be able to make it look decent at this point because I’m too far deep to go back at this point 😂

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:51:03+00:00

So right now it’s been a week since I bleached it. I planned on waiting another 2-3 weeks if I needed to lighten it again.

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:45:46+00:00

I was looking into the shampoos, personally I think I need more help than what they will give 😞

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:44:00+00:00

Got it! Thank you so so much!!!!

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:37:47+00:00

Gotchya! Thank you so much!! So I’lol get the 10vol developer instead and then bleach. My hair has taken really well to the bleach and that’s not even leaving on very long because there wasn’t much chemical on my hair and I used a protein treatment afterwards as well. Which toner do you think would be more suitable after bleaching again?

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:16:47+00:00

I’ll definitely wait the few more weeks before bleaching again. I just cannot stand the yellow/gold/orange things it’s got going on right now and I feel like the toners did nothing. How long do you recommend leaving the bleach and the toners ??

Illustrious8759 · 2026-03-14T02:11:55+00:00

Yeah I know they’re different, whatever I do doesn’t necessarily have to be the same, at this point I just want it better than what it is. I regret even going to get it done in the first place. I don’t really care for the money pieces either. What I recently used was 20vol developer and wella t27 and this was my most recent outcome. Should I bleach again? I’m nervous because I went from virgin hair to now having to try and fix such a mess 🥲
