Using a blonde home dye on blonde salon coloured hair

by Claire
(United Kingdom)

I have been going to the salon and having my hair coloured. I am naturally a mousy brown colour and am currently quite a light blonde, however i can no longer afford to go to the salon and wondered whether it would be safe for me to continue the colour by using a home dye kit?

I am in the exact situation and I just re-touched my hair for the first time by myself- but it took me three trips to get it right! I went to Sally Beauty Supply and got the Clairol Professional in Neutral Blonde ($4.99) and Level 40 Clairoxide (?) developer ($4.99). DON'T DO IT! It turned out yellow-orange. So, I went to RiteAid and got John Freida Blonde Toner Shampoo ($8.99) that is blue and is supposed to remove the brassiness "in just 3 uses". DIDN'T WORK! Finally, I went and talked to the manager of Sally's Beauty and he told me to use L'Oreal Quick Blue (one packet for $2.99) and mix with my Level 40 Clairoxide developer (although he recommended Level 20 or 30). Then, right after that bleaching, he told me to use Clairol Demi-permanent (yes, demi, not semi) in ight Cool Blonde with a blue base ($3.99) mixed with a special Clairol Demi-permanent Developer ($2.99). IT CAME OUT GREAT for $10-15 bucks! I recommend getting a trim or investing in a good leave-in conditioner bc this process really works your hair!
