Bleaching My Hair part 1

After doing my hair a million times to try and get my desired purple, I decided to maybe try a different colour. Right now, I've still not dyed it after bleaching, but I'm either going to do a pastel lilac or maybe a light pinky purple. Something like these.

So, having incredible dark brown hair, the first thing I had to do was bleach it. I watched a lot of tutorials online on how to do it, and found reviews for the best bleach. I settled on the crazy colour bleaching kit, the reviews were good but it did say there wouldn't be enough bleach for hair past shoulder length, so I bough an extra sachet of powder and developer. The kit was good, it came with a mixing tub and a tinting brush, the tub was tiny so I used a bigger tub I had, but I did like the tint brush. So I mixed up the 50g of powder and 100ml of developer, which is 30 vol (9%), and also mixed the same amount of the extra I bought which was all in all 100g of powder and 200ml of developer. That did my hair length fine, which is about boob length. Now here's the stupid part, I sectioned my hair into 4, bottom and top and respectively left and right, and just went ahead and slathered the dye on, bottom half then top. But I didn't account for my virgin hair, which is about 2ish inches. So after I'd left it on, literally about 15 minutes after the roots were very light, like a banana yellow and the midsection was still dark. I left that on for about an hour, maybe a bit more and went to wash it out. While wet it looked hardly any lighter, but when it was dry, the roots were so light! And not even a weird ginger colour, still quite yellow but if my hair was all that colour it wouldn't be so bad buuuuuuuuuuut, I'd done it stupidly and had half yellow half ginger hair. The midsection was very orange. Oh and the ends were light because I had ombre hair before, so it looked pretty weird.

The annoying pink patch is actually glow from the tv haha, but yeah that was the extent of the difference. But after one bleaching it had lifted a lot of the dark out but made it fairly ginger. So I left it a day and then bleached the midsection. Once again was kinda stupid and started bleaching the underside, which turned out lighter but overall after a second bleaching it once again lifted the darker orange and made it slightly more yellow. This picture doesn't show much of a difference because of the bathroom light but it wasn't too bad.

So that was part one, I'd managed to get it lightened, but I still have a long way to get it blonde enough to pastel over! Gonna do part 2 soon, after another bleaching and also toning, so stay tuned!
