Hey all, my name is Nikki and I'm new here! So I'm planning to change my hair to medium blonde via bleach. It is now a golden, light brown which looks awful with my semi neutral/cool skin undertone. My question is, in order to ease the orange that is possible to result from the bleach, if I added the Ardell Red Gold corrector additive to my bleach mixture would that help? I also have a toner too but I've never added anything to a bleach mixture before. My thought/opinion is that it might actually help. Thanks for the advice!

Hey Nikki, Welcome to Beautylish!
I am personally too scared to bleach my own hair (I go to a salon for only that), so I can't really help you with mixing advice, sorry. But I do all of the toning/color correcting myself, so I think toner should definitely do the trick for ya. My stylist doesn't add any additives to my bleach so it comes out very yellowy-orange and a violet based toner takes the brassy colors right out. While maintaining blonde hair that's been bleached, washing weekly with violet shampoos and conditioners is a great way to keeping the brassy tones out of your hair too. There are some professionals or more experienced hair bleachers on here so hopefully someone has some better advice as far as that step goes

Thanks for the input Natalie! I actually practiced on my extensions since I figured I have to get them to the blonde color too, and it seemed to work like a charm! I'm hoping it works on my hair as well, I don't see why it shouldn't though. I can update when I do it!

Pleeeeeaaaase don't bleach your own hair!! I did that and my hair turned to broken off straw and I had to cut it off to an inch and a half long to re grow it!!
