I know the topic must sound really stupid but it wasn't a total disaster...
So, I have dark blond waist length hair that's healthy, except the last 7 cms is a bit dry, but not overly so, and when I take good care of it, not noticable.
I always go to the hair dresser each 3 months for a balayage (a sort of highlights). However last time I wasn't really content and thought the roots should have been a bit more blond compared to the rest of my hair.
So, I was frustrated and decided to use Adina body hair bleach on my head. I used it on a few strands around my face, let it sit for a good 15 minutes and washed it out.
When I looked in the mirror, my first reaction was: 'oh no, there's a slightly orange halo around my face:cry:'. However this was in the very bright light of my bathroom. In normal light it was much less.
Anyway, I quickly put on lots of 'perfect platinum' from Redken (a purple conditioner, the replacement of 'pure pearl'), let it sit for a good 15 minutes, then rinced, looked in the mirror of my bathroom, it seemed a little better, then I decided to dry my hair. Luckely the color was much better when dry, no orange at all, just 'medium golden blonde'.
I also don't feel a difference in the hair I put the bleach on, it's still as soft as before. I just read that body hair bleach is less agressive than regular hair bleach.
So now, I kinda wonder how come not more people use this method. I don't think the initial (barely visible) orange hue was from the product as I did use very little, and you can always do it a second time.
