    Try the John Frieda range for blondes, or I have also used Aveda Blue Malva (or there is another one called Camomile). Seem to make a bit of a difference - esp the Blue Malva. xx

    you can get similar from qvc, but if the blonde is going brassy you need to tone it with the opp. end of the spectrum (blue/purple). you know those wash in wash out colours? go for the lightest blonde shade you can find, the more platinum the better. when you open it you will see its like blue gunk, it takes out the yellow/orange brassiness but doesnt alter the colour of your hair (it wont go blue!)
    Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.

    pumpa I have read loads of your posts about your tales of woe with bleaching disasters, did this one work for you? Have you got your blond bit sorted out now?
