    Hi guys,
    I am now a dark shade of blonde as a result of using nice and easy 88. However, i would like to be platinum blonde (as light as possible!)..Any ideas on what products i can use to bleach my hair..I want to get a home kit as ive been to the salon severel times and they've never done what i want!! I have heard some recommenddations for jemome russell bleach powder..But im not sure about this..Also, is it possible to buy a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in a shop or chemist?? If so, is it neccessary to buy some kind of toner also. I really dont have a clue about this so id be really greatful for as much advice as possible. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Ladypennyworth!! Just a quick question, when you bought jerome russell, did the peroxide come with it or did you buy it seperately??

    I used this years ago and found it really good, but my hair wasn't dyed at all.

    You might have to get it stripped.

    oh no...go to a salon, DIY jobs never look good! My boyf friend tried doing his and it came out gingery yellow! Then he died it brown and you can still get glimpes of ginger in the sun! I'd love to go platinum but would never have the guts to do it myself! Best of luck if ya do! :)

    The Jerome Russell for medium to dark brown hair comes with the peroxide.

    Here is what i put my poor hair through.

    Black for 10yrs.(coloured)
    Yellow and orange from incorrect use of bleaching.:eek:
    Chocolate Brown after going to a salon to fix it, turns out i didn't use the correct jerome russell kit,told i couldn't be blonde and to forget it.
    Used Jerome russell medium to dark brown hair and a paint box toner from salon supplies.

    Finally i have my hair like lady ga ga but it's very dry so treating it at the moment.

    don't do this at home, please!
    so many things can go wrong.. you could end up with orange hair, yellow hair and/or severely damaged or broken hair. seriously. even salons are reluctant to do this colour, for a good reason.
    i wanted platinum hair for years. had a full head of highlights, but it just wasn't the same as an all-over platinum colour. the hairdresser i have gone to for years doesn't normally do bleaches, so i went somewhere that does.. well, my hair was white, but so badly damaged i had to get it cut really short, and even so in some areas it actually broke off at the roots.
    my own hairdresser was horrified, and does the colour for me now. my hair is still short, but at least now (almost a year later!) it's back to being strong and shiny and not the brittle mop of straw i ended up with.
    i dread to think what might have happened if i'd tried to do this at home, i probably would have ended up bald.
    so please.. find a good salon to do it for you.

    You can get it either way, in a box with one application or the cheaper way, a box of 4 sachets of peroxide and then buy the bottles of developer seperately.
    Since your hair is already light use the 20vol one and dont leave it on for too long, remember if it turns out too light you can just apply lightener again. Deep condition it like mad after you bleach it and then use a toner or a platinum dye to get rid of any yellowness
