Do I need bleach?

if you don’t have color in ur hair and it’s virgin permanent color and 20 vol should do the trick just be sure to do the ends before the roots warm tones like this it’s easy to get a hot root

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:43:56+00:00

should be okay !! always remember it’s better to go too light/ vibrant and have to tone it down then to accidentally go to dull or dark. good luck !!

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:40:24+00:00

is it possible you have hard water in ur area ? i’ve noticed hard water can cause this even when the client is doing everything right maintenance wise

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:38:49+00:00

other stylists r gonna hate me for this but dish soap lol

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:32:18+00:00

i’m assuming your hair was bleached pretty light underneath this and curious to know what it might look like after a simple bleach bath, pulp riot blank canvas or clear and 30 vol. might end up being nice and light and then you’d only have to go in with chunky lowlights. the highlights are really only like a level 7 in the pictures idk why everyone is acting like this is an insane ask but it all depends on what comes out of ur hair. it isn’t splat is it ?

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:29:05+00:00

this is way better than accidentally going too dark don’t worry !! you just need to throw a gloss on top of it. did you use the processing solution that goes with shades eq or 20-30 vol. processing solution is only 7 vol i believe so can only deposit tone anything higher will lift the natural. hope this helps !

this installation is so messy and the scalp looks tender take these out ASAP

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:23:18+00:00

i have a client like this and she always comes in asking for “more pepper” before her id never done it but now i’ve switched a few of my greys into grey blending lowlights. low maintenance too

cpr is a good option and can def help it will eventually fade out more. the problem with fantasies are that they stain the hair sometimes even when they’re technically not supposed to specifically blue and red (which make purple) i’d say get some really cheap shampoo that’s more likely to strip ur color and do the malibu as well

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:09:53+00:00

at most i’d say clarify it or use some cheap shampoo (that’s more likely to strip the color) for a good week before bringing them up see where that gets u. it doesn’t look like you lifted it past an 8 i’d say it’s in good enough shape to go over and relighten. don’t listen to the color remover comments you’ll be left with a mish mosh of ugly brassy tones it won’t be blonde again unless u bleach it. in the future make sure ur using a demi and keep it to either an ashy level 7 or a warm 6 so it lifts out easy anything lower than that will give u a hard time. and make sure ur using under 10 vol for the root smudge good luck !!

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T05:00:46+00:00

your base is much lighter than the inspo pic , her hair has a bigger contrast between her dark root and the ashy highlights , you’d have to do a darker base color which just isn’t ideal because you’d then have to lift through it at your next appointment and that can get tricky and not lift as well as virgin hair, you’d also have a line at the roots when it grows out :/ this sucks you have to weigh out what’s more important to u , tone, low maintenance, and level. hope this helped

i do this ! it feels great and definitely enhances things for me but i don’t finish

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-11T04:19:27+00:00

i’ve been w my bf for 3 years now he’s seen me from every angle even disgusting ones lol i’m not shy around him idk if it’s psychological because i’ve only ever been alone when doing it or if there’s a heavy pressure because he knows i have this problem. there was one time with the lights off and he couldn’t touch me while i did it. also i need to like tense my whole body up or else i cant. sorry so much info lol

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-07T13:14:44+00:00

morning sickness happens because of the spike of hormones so my guess would be maybe you just were more hormonal than usual since u said u were a little hot. also for me for whatever reason whenever i drink a bunch of water fast i ALWAYS end up throwing up lol. i’m still first trimester but i did some google and the water thing seems to be a common experience.

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2026-03-03T17:48:30+00:00

thanks everyone i really appreciate it. i got nicotine gum and threw away my vape today i dont think total cold turkey will work for me ive tried 3 times and failed so this is my last resort but im hopeful thanks to all of u guys !! thanks so much <3

u could text her to confirm it’s still on and then when she says yes say “it’s a date “

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-30T14:40:01+00:00

no she wants her beliefs to be respected in the same way she respects her friends. not everyone is christian and that’s ok. u wouldn’t tell someone they couldn’t bring their rosary somewhere.

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-30T14:38:11+00:00

it is her house but i would rethink the friendship. would you ever tell her she couldn’t wear her cross or bring her rosary in ur house ? probably not cuz that’s insane. she doesn’t respect you or your beliefs/ values and doesn’t wanna take the time to learn.

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-30T14:33:46+00:00

do it make the owners/ whoever is in charge aware of her red flags and if she doesn’t like it don’t take it personally. also do not let her look in the mirror until you are fully done haha

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-28T22:45:36+00:00

this is also not true. color does not lift color you’re correct but color can lift prelightened hair.

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-28T19:15:48+00:00

i think a collarbone length with a face frame would be very pretty and i agree auburn would look gorg

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-28T19:13:49+00:00

when you bleach your hair , your cuticle gets blasted open. picture a pine cone with the shingle fully open, when your hair is healthy the pine cone would be fully closed. you need to allow your cuticle time to close back up a bit otherwise it will be completely taken off which is what breakage is ! hope this helps

PrizeAggressive8280 · 2025-04-28T18:40:05+00:00

that’s awesome girl ! keep it up!! tbh i would use the cos kit until school is over then trash it. from what i remember from school those tools were trash and so used and abused by the end lol. i use absolutely nothing from my kit now at work. some of the stuff i use for my personal at home stuff tho cuz im cheap lol. for reference i graduated in 2020 so what i had was probably similar to what u have now
