    you can buy toners to put on, or go back to your hairdresser and they will be able to put something on it to tone it down

    You should be able to dye your hair again. Especially if you haven't bleached it in 7-8 months.

    You really need to watch the colour you're putting on top though in case it turns out brassy or ginger.

    I agree this is something that a hairdresser needs to sort out - messing about with blonde hair tends to end in disaster!

    My daughter dyed her hair with one of the XXL Live blonde colours a couple of months back and it was white. I used two semi-permanent darker blonde dyes to tone it down, other than that Touch of Silver should tone it down a little.

    i have touched up just the roots every 2 weeks with majiblond 900s, and let the sun lift the colour of the roots further (i have spent alot of time in turkey this year so hence the sun lightening the root growth))

    surely there has got to be something to tone the colour, i have acess to a hairdressing wholesalers, and would prefer to do it at home

    Hi Sadie


    I had bleached hair many years ago and to tone it down I bought a toner called Born blonde, think it was Clairol the brand, i could buy it in boots and think also the hairdressers wholesaler, they did a lot of different shades, but I think tbh you may need to get the hairdressser to sort the whole colour out for you, and then buy the colour that they are using. I dont think a toner will work they fade very quickly,

    thanks
