Hair colour/bleach

[Casey]

Is there any difference between using a blonde permanent hair colour and mixing it with peroxide, and using a bleach?? If so what differenes are there and which is the best?

Hiya again Linz, I take it ur bored with ur hair or somethin! Well in respect of ur question, there is a slight difference in colour with dyes that use bleach and that don't, you get more of a brassy colour with the non-bleach ones, all blonde colours have peroxide in them as thats whats needed to make the colour take, I use the one with bleach in it for the best result x

Thank you!! I was purely just curious, I saw that blue powder bleach in the shops and then wondered what difference there was. So do you mix your tube of hair colour with any peroxide?

[hectic]

No, for blonde you need 12% peroxide as lower than this is for dark colours, the blue powder is called blondor! If u were wondering how I know all this, my sister is a hairdresser

I use wella koleston perfect permanent hair colour now and mix it with 12% peroxide, but a hairdresser told me to use a lower strenth of peroxide then there won't be much damage to my hair. But it won't take as well will it?

[hectic]

I suppose you could push it and go to 9% but I wouldn't advise goin lower than that as you don't want to end up with a brassy coloured blonde really do ya!

[Casey]

That's what I thought! So which blonde colour do you use?

[lucky-h]

i was just wondering, i use loreal couleur experte, u no the base and highlighter.

the highlighting part didn't really work, and i have ginger highlights now!!!lol

if i get it again should i add poroxide to the highlighter, or is it different to normal hair dye??
