So I bleach my hair at home. Obviously I hardly have money for anything, so does anyone know how I can remove the yellow brassy color out of my blonde (trying to make it platinum)

A toner!! This is the second step after bleaching! Toner is a color you put on your hair afterwards to give it the tones you want. However this does not mean box hair color!! Do not use these! They deposit plastic particles of color in your hair- it's really bad for your hair. You can go to a beauty store and look at their toners they're pretty inexpensive under 5$- or look online and you can find some too. You need one with a purple/blue base to give you that white color you need. I'm doing the same thing with my hair and I haven't bleached it light enough to get the platinum color. I'm looking into Schwarzkopf toners and redken right now- I've used wellas white lady/t18 from Sally's and it didn't pull it up enough so I'm going to lighten it some more. But really remember you'll probably have to tone it a few times to get the color you want so be patient! If you have any questions let me know!

Alright, thank you so much! I've bleached my hair twice and its still brassy thats why I had to ask. Its a pain to achieve that platinum color.

Purple shampoo is the best! And cheap or silver shampoo works a treat (that's the cheaper alternative to purple)

I read adding food coloring to your shampoo could work...so for brassiness it would be purple and/or blue...also you might want to look into manic panic...I think the color is called like virgin snow or something to that effect, but it's not that cheap.

Be carefull with the purple shampoos / drops you use! I had this problem last week bleached my hair and it went orange then tried to tone it with magic silver white! My hair was bright purple and would not come out had to get it all re bleached and cut out! Be careful.

Yeah, as you can see in my default is the current my hair. Its yellowish. /: my mom added white lady into my hair and it did nothing to the brassy color. It helped the parts that were platinum.

You need to tone it. I suggest going to a salon. It's very hard to get your hair platinum at home. I see girls who I know tried to do it themselves and it doesn't look good.

Okay first off, you can get this color at home - but your problem if it's yellow still that you didn't bleach it long enough. that meaning not that you didn't leave the bleach on long enough because you should only use bleach for up to 50 mins at a time in one setting and platinum because it is taking and stripping all of the color and melatin out of your hair you have to unfortunately multi process- and this will be a process. What has worked for me is the ion oil lightener. This is a bleach infused with argan oil and you can use 20,30,or 40 developer depending on how much of a lift you need however you CANNOT use heat with this product- and before you use this put a neutral protein filler on your hair. my hair was not damaged after bleaching it for 40 mins...this bleach also doesn't dry on your hair like normal powder bleach's can get crunchy or boil in your foils without you knowing. seriously this is the best stuff I've ever used. That being said, please dont try to be cheap with your hair and add food color to shampoos or get a sh*t product like pantene, no offense, but go get two different shampoos and conditioners- get a purple one (at sallys they're no diffferntly priced for the shimmer lights shampoo/conditioner) and then you need another shampoo and conditioner for reconstructing/protien/moisturizing. And alternate between the two, but don't wash your hair more than three times a week- esp with bleached hair sorry! the best thing for your hair is the natural oils on your scalp, so let your hair get greasy for a day, it's the best deep conditioning you can get- but with your hair being bleached it's probably really dry and brittle so chances of it getting greasy are slim. That being said, I also have experimented with wella white lady and I know that it won't take the yellow out of your hair if your hair isn't light enough. I'd wait a week or two and do a protien treatment before you put the bleach on your hair, and before the toner- this protein will help the bleach not strip the protein in your hair if that makes sense? And then continue with them once a week if you're hairs dead, but too much protien more than once a week will have opposite effects and you can turn your hair to crap even faster. Also get the macadema oil deep conditioning masque they have a sallys it's around 15$ (I'll post a pic below) and use this no more than 2 a week, but after every coloring process, this will do wonders for your hair. You need to take a lot of care for your hair, and do a lot of research and EDUCATE yourselfs on hair- and please don't think just because you go to a salon they won't f your hair up too, a colorist at paul mitchell salon boiled my hair in the foil highlights...giving me a color cut a few years ago- and you can't fix that! or stupid for that matter :) haha also I do want you to take in consideration a few other things that no one talks about, but if you're on any type of medicine, your diet, or even pigmentation may alter/effect the way your color results turn out even with bleach, even being pregnant- your hormones are abnormally raised and that will make your color turn out different than it normally would; but you'd never think that!!
so good luck and let me know if you need any more help! xo

Thank you! I'll be heading to Sallys within a few days to pick up the items. Hopefully after I give my hair a long enough rest I can go thru another process again. Right now since I bleached it its super dry and no natural oils are coming out just yet. :) thank you ladies for the help. I needed it.
