Ok so, I've recently (and honestly, a bit unexpectedly) began my journey to platinum hair.
Long story short, my hair was rainbow-literally (below), and I was bleaching it all out to just dye it a solid, bright red. (Manic Panic-Vampire Red). After bleaching, for pretty much the first time ever (and I've bleached my hair...Far, far too many times) my hair was a very light blonde. I was actually pretty pleased. I decided to sit on it for a night, and if I still liked it blonde in the morning, I would stick to it, as it's amazingly the only color I haven't tried yet, haha.
So now my hair is very light, except I have... DUN DUN DUN... The dreaded, -STUBBORN- orange ends. Everyone else likes the way it looks-I HATE IT. I feel like a calico cat or something. And don't judge my brows, they are now lightened/corrected and I have a taupe pencil on the way, this was when I was still debating whether I wanted to commit to the blonde or not, and didn't want to spend more money on products I may not even need. Which brings me to the point of this thread, aside from me rambling on.
After much googling-I don't know if that's even a word, and lots of research I went on an Amazon spree this morning and grabbed a few products that I noticed were recommended and/or got good reviews for achieving platinum/white.
I ordered:
*Wella Color Charm T18 White Lady 1.4oz. (I actually bought two of them, never hurts to have backup, right?)
*Wella Color Charm Creme 30 Volume 16 oz. Developer (I felt like I might need a notch above 20vol, because orange is SO stubborn).
*Matrix Total Results Color Care SO SILVER Shampoo 10.1 OZ.
*(And this is irrelevant and I'm kind of ashamed of myself, but if you've used it let me know!) 2012 Australian Gold JWOWW Continuous Sunless Tanning Spray
*I also have Aussie Three Minute Miracle which seems to be ok, and Ion Repair, but any other deep conditioner suggestions would be great, considering my hair is obviously in need.
Any reviews would be great, if you've used some of these let me know how they worked out for you. <3
