did u use a gold base product?

Anyhow you can use a light (level 10) violet-based color with 10 volume peroxide mixed and combined with equal parts of a moisture-rich conditioner. The violet color base, since it is opposite yellow on the color chart, will tone down the yellow. There are shampoos and conditioners most likey at your local beauty supply store that is designed to balance out the yellowing in your hair. Either way u decide to go just make sure u use a violet base product it will reduce the yellow color.

Is it completely bleached..?

Go to Sally and get a 20 volume developer and toner. You can ask the associate there to recommend one to you. I cant remember what theone I use is called. Its by Clairol and for platinum or grey hair, and has a blue base. (or maybe violet?)

Just ask the associate to recommend a good toner to you to get rid of yellow/brassy tones. Itll cost like 5 bucks, and the developer will cost like 5 bucks.

Your amazing life savers! How long do you usually keep a toner in the hair? and also ive seen some people who get toners have tinted purplEY HAIR IS THAT FROM LEAVING IT IN TO LONG?

yea it can turn ur hair purple.. or atleast give a purple tint. Just remember a little goes a long way. Personally ive found that in my hair when i had it lifted we had to soap cap my hair and my stylist added a violet toner to my hair and literally in mins my hair looked grey and had a purple tint to it... so from what she told me its not so much as how long u leave it in. it was b.c she added to much toner to my hair when she did the soap cap. I suj you follow directions to the T when it comes to timming and how much of the product u should use

Dont leave it in long.. Its FLASH toning.

When I do mine (My whole head is platinum) I never leave it on for more than like 5 minutes after I finish. I start on the top. And then seriously like 5 minutes after I'm done I rinse it out..

You can try Clairol's Shimmer Lights for Silver hair. That should get rid of the brassy in your hair. It's in a purple bottle and can be found at any Sally's Beauty Supply. I usually use that 3 times a week for 1 month and leave it in my hair for 2 minutes. Don't leave it longer than 2 minutes. I only use the shampoo one and not the conditioner. I usually just use a deep conditioner after shampooing. Hope that helps!
