QuestionI went to professional hairdresser to go from salt and pepper to white. However, the result did not turn out white - it's sort of a yellow blonde. I still would like to have it white. Can you help? ThanksAshley Adams is a Licensed Cosmetologist and Hair Stylist in Illinois.

You will also need purple shampoo because it removes yellow tones from the hair.

QuestionMy roots are white naturally, and then I have light blonde hair. How do I get the light blonde to match my natural white?Ashley Adams is a Licensed Cosmetologist and Hair Stylist in Illinois. She completed her Cosmetology education at John Amico School of Hair Design in 2016.Since your roots are already white, you shouldn't need to bleach them. You can bleach the rest of your hair (minus the roots), and since it's light blonde, it shouldn't be a lengthy process. You will need to followup with a toner afterwards.
-
QuestionWill the bleaching fade or is it permanent?Community AnswerThe toner will fade and let your hair return to the color it was right after you bleached it, but the bleach will not fade, as bleach actually removes your own color from your hair.
-
QuestionWhat if you want to go back to your old colored hair? Is this possible without having to use dye or wait for it to grow out?Community AnswerNo it's not possible, you have completely removed the color from your hair. You will have to dye over it or wait for it to grow out.

QuestionI bleached my hair and it became yellow, then I toned it and it was still yellow. What should I do?Community AnswerTry toning it again and leaving it on for longer. Or, you may not have bleached it to the palest colour and you may need to bleach it again.

QuestionShould I bleach my roots separately from the rest of my hair?Community AnswerStart by applying bleach to the mid-shaft and ends of your hair. When it has reached the level of lift you're looking for, apply bleach to the roots. Your scalp is sensitive and shouldn't be bleached with a high-volume developer (40), or more often than once a week, or you risk burning your skin.

QuestionHow can I get white hair without hurting my hair with chemicals?Community AnswerBleach, dye, and heat treatments all do damage to the hair, but you can minimize it by applying coconut oil for several hours before you bleach.

Many salons now offer Olaplex treatments; you can also buy the product from a website and do it yourself.

QuestionMy hair is naturally white. I have dyed it black and keep it touched up. I would like to stop dyeing my hair black and let the natural white come in. Is it possible to bleach the dyed portion of my hair white?Community AnswerTechnically you could bleach out the black but black dye is very stubborn, with a likely result being orange hair too delicate to re-bleach. Your best options are to try a lightener to bring it from black to a softer tone or to leave it grow out. Get regular hair cuts to speed up the removal.

QuestionIs there anything I need to know before I dye my greying hair white? The grey has just started to appear at the roots.Community AnswerYou're in luck. Natural "grey" hair is actually white, and only looks grey mixed with your other hair color. Focus on dyeing the rest of your hair white, and the "greys" should fit in well once you're successful.

QuestionI'm using a toning shampoo and I like most of the results, but a few strands at the back are turning brown instead of white. How can I stop this?Community AnswerIf you've dyed your hair more than once, some strands may have a different starting shade and thus will react differently to toner or dye. You may need a different shade of product for that area. Each treatment does damage your hair, so if possible seek professional treatment instead of experimenting.

QuestionIf I'm dyeing my hair blue, and I originally have black-brown hair. Should I use toner after bleaching?

If your hair is yellow or orange, you'll need to use a toner, because the blue dye might not cover it properly.
-
QuestionDo I need to wait 24 hours between bleaching and toning?Community AnswerSpeaking from experience, it's best to wait between treatments. However, since toning is not as hard on your hair as bleaching, you won't hurt your hair as much if you tone directly after bleaching it.
