How to: Grey-Blonde Hair

So, I finally got my hair to a colour that I really really like. The lavender was something I got to by accident and just decided to live with. But this colour is staying!

It's kind of a mix of grey and blonde, my god father called it "grlonde", but I just think it looks awesome.

The first thing you'll need to do, is bleach the bejeezes out of your hair until it is pretty much white. I know what you're thinking, "I'm Asian, my hair doesn't go white!" oh yes darling, it does! You just need to bleach it, a lot. It'll probably fry if you've bleached it before (go all crispy and crazy coarse) but if you're careful it'll all go swell.

I only used two products to get my hair my perfect colour, and I was so happy! (Well, three, if you include developer.)

I used the Wella Colour Charm Liquid permanent toner in T14 Palest Ash blonde or Silver Lady. As opposed to the more popular T18 Lightest Ash Blonde or White Lady. With the 050 Cooling Violet additive.

So once my hair was bleached to hell and back, I mixed a whole bottle of the T17 with 30 volume creme developer (2:1 ratio, developer to colour) then I added in three capfuls of the 050 and mixed. This gave me way more than I needed, but if your hair is the same length as mine, you should probably still use this amount. (Bear in mind that I have a lot of hair shaved off the sides and the nape, and that my hair is cut into a mullet, so the longer hair is super thin.)

I left that in my hair for about an hour, to my pleasure, the dye developed into a dark grey colour, rather than the purple that the T18 gave me. I rinsed my hair and did all my normal stuff, I didn't really get to see the true result until this morning (my hair takes forever and a half to dry) and I absolutely love it. :)

The products I used:
Wella Colour Charm T14 - $6.79
Wella Colour Charm 050 - $6.79
Salon Care Developer, 30 Volume (price varies on size, but I used less than 100mL)

Not a huge price tag, seeing as I always have developer at home, and the bottle of 050 additive will last at least two more treatments.
