My friend had a client with naturally pitch black hair. She told her it would take 2 to 3 sessions to go blonde and explained that her hair would look brassy after the 1st but they'd fix it on the 2nd. The girl panicked after the 1st session and went to another stylist to try and lighten it the next day. The stylist ruiner her hair smd my friend was pissed at her client, she didn't take her back.

My sister is a stylist. My natural color is a strawberry brownish, with natural highlights. It's absolutely beautiful, just not on me. I decided to go platinum. It took us 3 sessions to lighten and tone me to where I wanted to be. After the first session, my hair was still brown. I utterly hated it. The second time took me to blonde, but I still wasn't the icy silver i wanted. We toned it again, and it came out beautifully. Trust your stylist and trust the process

⁠@@shanizatulhanis33helps cancel out the orange tones in hair, since yellow/orange and purple are essentially opposites. So it helps get rid of the orangey brassy look that bleached hair tends to take on and makes it more neutral and ashy. That makes it a better slate for hair dye or it just can look nice enough to keep it that way :)

In Japan, salons can do platinum blonde in one session from jet black hair and retain hair health.

Madison Reed tends to be darker than other dyes in my experience. They label their level 6 browns as medium browns. Their color does lift evenly, though. I did some highlights over a level 5 color, and the results were nice. I think it is because they encourage you to use a gloss on the lengths instead of pulling permanent color through to your ends when you are doing root touchups. I am not a stylist, just a consumer.

There was only one time where i was able to go from dark hair to platinum i was concerned for my hair the whole time because i heard my stylist say he used 50 volume developer. But it worked and my hair survived and we immediately slathered that beautiful blonde in different shades of blue. It came out AMAZING. THE best dye job i ever had. The blue stayed in my hair for literally 2 years and the only reason it went away was because i cut it all off

Growth (roots) always lifts better, so if your hair is under a few inches, it takes a looot less to do it. You can see in this video where there's the space between the scalp and where she lifted didn't have anything applied, and the same if you watch any other lifting videos. You always have to do the lengths first and then hit the growth, because otherwise you'll have a super uneven lift that was stronger for the growth than the length. But it does also depend on your hair texture, if it's virgin or has been colored with box dye or professionally dyed, how healthy it is. It's chemistry and art, so *everything* matters 😂

I'm going to be honest, I never do strand tests! My hair is pretty sturdy so damage isn't a big concern, and when it comes to colour, I don't really care what it ends up as. In fact, my favourite hair colour was when I tried going blonde, but got ginger bits in it as well, it was so good. I loved it. However, I have had some disappointments where I do the whole process, only to find that the colour didn't take at all, and I was left with my regular hair colour, but it's easy enough to redo.

Damn finally there's a advantage of being in beauty major , i understand all what she said bro I'm so proud of myself

Maybe your hair strands are fairly fine. Just reading through the comments here and it looks like people with fine hair tend to experience more drastic results compared to those with coarse hair.

Whooh! That lifted color is insane. I sat behind a classmate once who was STUNNING with super thick, wavy, dark hair. One day she came in, apparently having bleached her own hair and it was this color!! Wild, dark orange. I felt so bad for her. I guess she didn’t know it would happen? But she was still beautiful, I just knew it took a lot of work to get it to blond, which she eventually did, with the help of a professional. 😅

I have black hair and I've been bleaching for almost 10 years. I went for a root touch up with about 3in of black. Somehow the stylist not only turned my roots white but my entire head. she told me she couldn't dry it cuz I bleached it, I later found out it was cuz she was scared I'd be mad.

One of the places near me was absolutely insane. I wanted and still want to go platinum blonde but I already have some really light hair and they suggested like 8 or 9 times to get it there which sounds absolutely crazy to me

I am pretty blonde not platinum probably because I don't own hair. But I have very very dark hair naturally. It takes a good 3-6 months to get my root to the color I have achieved over the years. It's definitely not even because no one helps me its hard to do your own hair lol. But I'm trusted enough to do my sisters and when she let's me take my time and foil everything she ends up with hair she likes.

I have dark hair and use platinum blonde box dye. It comes out like that. Certainly not platinum, but it's still super pretty.

I used a "very very blond" hair dye to lighten my hair and I got it to a orangish brown which I loved, I did it on the 13th of February and I'm going to do it again in May, maybe a week or a few days before my cousin's wedding

Yeah, I remember when my mum went from dark brown hair to blonde, she ended up ginger for a while but then she eventually got it blonde

I'm an exception... my black/dark brown hair goes to honey comb blonde in 1 session at Fantasic Sam's. I have had my hair bleached 3 times, once every 18 months (so as not to damage it too much)

I know people have a dislike for brass hair…but I would lean into it. I think penny color is gorgeous. It can really warm neutral skin color too. I would ask for a way to make it shine like copper and totally ask to make my brows match more. I’ve even use different makeup and pastel it up and I’d use the crap out of burnt umber colors😂 I woulda said bring me to brassy town and I’d stay there for a while tbh until I’m done with brassy town and want to go lighter. I dunno, I think having different colors is fun no matter the color.

I’ve gone from dark brunette to platinum in a couple hours. Course, I didn’t put black dye on my hair.

I just had my hair bleached yesterday after getting a straight perm, dying it blue, then purple, then red and using black box dye… it lifted lighter than the video and is a petty pink now! Surprising cause I use a flat iron daily and my hair is extremely fine but no damage

I’m so tired I thought that meant dark hair can never go platinum. That filled me with an insane panic! It is weird because I’m not even considering going blonde let alone platinum blonde. 😅😅😅

Excellent consultation

Her dark natural hair is gorgeous. The wave is lovely. Why would she want to go blond? 😲

Don’t use olaplex so it can lift more. Also dark roots seem to lift to light blonde. I know they say roots lift quicker cuz of heat but it’s still possible for the rest of your hair. Most stylists either don’t know or are greedy

For very dark hair vergin hair supposed to be used 40volume or 12% in 40 to 45minutes and blower it while covering foil, and it depends what the light color what you apply next for about 30% to highlighter

That's why I use a color stripper before a lightened if there's dye built up...

Platinum took me 4. And I’m IN LOVE ❤❤

me and my dad are like this 😢 couldn't even get the colour i wanted

The last one was very easy it took me just 1 year to finish 😄

She should try also ion booster. Dang good stuff.

I was able to go platinum in one day but I already had previous lightening. Balayage and highlights. Then I let my hair grow out for about 6 months and did my own retouch. It came out platinum and I just had to even out the ends. All in one session, but kinda not really. Blonde takes time and patience to get the right shade

But I don’t understand how it can go better the second session, it’s not like the hair can recover.

I had a hairdresser so my hair when I was around 15 or 16, I have chestnut brown hair and my hair are very sensitive. I wanted a red ombre and so she bleached half my hair, my hair was DESTROYED after. I still go the ombre and it looked good, but my hair were actual hay.

I lifted my hair to platinum in one ish setting, no damage, from a natural 2-3 to level 7-8, then to 9 with a toner. However I used a level 15 developer mixed with conditioner and let it sit for a few hours, instead of a high developer. I maintained that blonde for 2 years with minimal damage except my obsession with flat irons at max heat back in the day. It can be done, but we also did regular tests throughout the process to ensure my hair was holding up. It can be done, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re willing to do all the work.

Actually If you mix 2 drops of intense ash hair dye in with the bleach and apply as normal in foil, it will lighten it while also toning the brass in 1 step thus eliminating damage. You can do. 30 volume, works every time ❤❤

I have natural (very curly) black hair and went platinum blonde in 4 sessions once a week, and did it at home with minimum damage and the curl pattern stayed perfect. I was pretty lucky tbf 😂
