Help ashy hair

[mattyhilton11]

Can anyone advice me on my hair!
Just had my hair bleached from a natural base 8 to a 10,and then an ash toner over the top.

I used to always have my hair bleached and then a luo PO and it always looked bright and white and then I would us purple shampoo when got brassy.

Anyway this time I wanted my hair super light but not as white/tacky so she used an ash toner(not sure what) and I feel like its gone dark or too ashy!

I dont no if its cause im used to white hair,it just feels dark and too ash.I want it cool toned/slightly ashy but at moment it just isnt bright/white enough.

She assured me its deffo a base 10 and is the lightest blond but just that its a cleaner and less tacky tone. Will the toner and some of the ash fade out? It was super white before the toner & but like I said I didnt want it super white but wanted white but slighltly ash but its just too ashy and it makes it look dull!

advice plz x

sounds like the toner was left on too long, also u needed a slight violet toner not an ash - too much tone! should fade out, or u could have a GENTLE bleach bath through it, wont take much to get that out! x

Well she put toner on and I kept saying askin its not going darker and to check it lol.Its not super ashy that it looks grey or like a silver blonde it just looks slightly too ashy for me.

If you book in for a slight bleach bath will it need to be retoned and that? x

it can just be left on long enough to take some of the ash out or all of it and then a violet toner put on after.

When did you have this done? Have you tried washing it a few time with something like the dreaded head and shoulders? I think if your hair is bleached this will fade it enough without having to do a bleach bath.... Even if it is gentle, the head and shoulders is worth a shot first.

Or

Go back to the salon and tell them your not happy with it, maybe provide a picture of the kind of ' white but slighltly ash ' that you want then they might sort it for free.

Hi,thanks for your replys
I've washed it and it seems brighter/less ashy already!
Looks much better now its washed and i've styed it-Why is it your hair always looks diffrent once you leave the salon and style it yourself lol My hairs super short on the sides(grade 2) and on the back and they look white but the top were its longer is just slightly a diffrent colour-Kinda more beigy/ or like a baby blonde. It looks really nice in normal lights but under super bright lights or sunlight you can notice the side/back is a little whiter-should I use more purple shampoo on those areas or will that make them whiter? x

Oh and she knows what shade of blonde I wanted as she has it herself lol.
