Bleached my hair!!

I posted on here awhile ago how I dyed my hair black and hated it so I took the plunge and bleached it. It’s definitely orange. I should have double bleached it before toning but I didn’t want too much damage. So my question is…if I bleach again after already had toning it…will it work?

It should, I don't think toning it will stop bleach from working but I would definitely wait a couple of weeks and during that time use some enrichment hair products to repair the bleach damage

thank you for your input. Yeah I’m by no means a hairdresser lol I’m actually kinda proud of myself I even achieved this light being I had black box dye on it. I’m gunna wait about 3 weeks and re bleach it. I don’t want my hair falling out lol

Try purple shampoo

Yeah that is a pretty good accomplishment and for what it's worth I think it looks good as is but you're the one that has to like it ☺️ good luck!

fair play, that’s not orange whatsoever! looks more like natural blonde. should be okay to bleach but if needs be then wait a week or however long then bleach again

I think some purple or blue shampoo with do the trick

Bleaching it again will definitely do damage. You can't really repair that damage unless you've put olapex in with you're bleach and using the after treatment. Bleach is a stripper of colour and nutrients and breaks down the cuticle on the inside. Which is what causes breakage. Your roots are also lighter than the rest so you run the risk of breakage at the roots doing it again. Would need to wait and use a very low peroxide

if I did re bleach in few weeks I don’t think I’d do my roots. I definitely think they’re light enough. Thank you for ur advice! So would a blue toner on the ends work like wella t14?

Ash can sometimes make it darker. I'd try a violet or blue/violet toner to counteract the yellow. Sorry I don't know Wella. Are you using a low semi activator for your toners. A permanent activator will put too much into your cuticle and possible blow it out, give you "root glow" also the reason to use a low activator/peroxide to go any lighter

I used a 30 developer for the bleach and toning process. And I used wella t18 which is a violet toner. I used to bleach my hair using this process but with 20 developer this was my first time using level 30 since I had black hair dye on my hair

For a second time, use 10vol or lower as its light enough you just need to clean out the rest of the colour. Good luck 😁

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!
