WOAH these views! You guys are SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for everyone’s kind comments! Love you all!

I'm licensed and it's really not hard to do hair. "Professionals" will always bash people on diys because if everyone knew that you can actually do hair yourself with just good research and time with good products, we wouldn't have jobs lmao. You did great however, your ends shouldn't be worried about as much as your roots since they were already very pale and could just be toned. Overall very impressed 👍

I’ve must have watched about 200 videos of bleaching hair and this is the most helpful and the one with the most beautiful result. Well done!

Being a hairdressing colour professional, I am really impressed with your technique of application and your results. Congrats. X
You look beautiful as well!!!

Also, next time you should start bleaching from the back of your head and work towards the front. The back of your head has thicker hair which takes longer to lift, while the front of the head has hair that is more thin which lightens very quickly.

Me at work. I'm not a professional, I'm not teaching you because I dont know what I'm doing lmao

I have no idea why you have ANY thumb downs!! I'm a cosmetologist and I think you did great! Looks awesome!

Of all the videos in all the years I have studied hair colour urs has truly won me over in terms of how amazing ur results turned out .. u did this by urself I c we not believe how even the result was esp bleaching it twice even after it had been professionally bleached by ur stylist to platinum to the ends.
A few words of advice if u choose to do it again though.
Next time if u do ur roots though only do a bleach wash through the ends by adding shampoo to ur bleach solution u already have made up (with blondeme and 20vol peroxide)and adding equal parts of clarifying shampoo and only painting onto ends of hair for last 10 minutes of processing time whilst still bleaching roots to remove previous buildup of toner. This will allow you to apply new batch of toner to freshly washed hair.
When u shampoo out your bleach after applying step 2 dont condition just apply toner so the cuticle is left open and toner absorbs better then wash toner out then use a protein based treatment.
Root smudge-when u have applied ur tomoro to ur ends (t11) then apply ur roots toner straight away and whilst hair is wet..its actually easier to process together and use the brush to paint vertically so u dont leave a demarcation line but never use a permanent colour only a semi or even a demi-u want to see a glaze with a root shadow opposed to a heavy colour. Plus a permamanet will stain the hair more leaving a demarcation line making a stain every time u bleach but a semi/demi can simply be bleached out when u do ur roots !!
But overall ur video is amazing !! And ur choice of bleach and method is amazing !!

I am so proud of you!! You took a super huge risk and finally we all get to see reality.  The pure raw reality of what is possible and necessary to complete this.  Troubleshooting is amazing to see!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

One more tip Corrine... if, or when you bleach again, protect what you’ve already bleached with a coconut oil, or Olaplex; something to create a barrier so you don’t get new bleach on the already bleached hair.  Overlapping creates dry, broken, fried ends, mid-shaft, wherever you’ve already bleached, so just be very careful not to overlap, and remember bleach swells!!!👍👍

From a professional stylist, I’m quite impressed! Glad you did your research first and remained honest throughout! Good job girl. ❤️ much love.

I’m a licensed professional and you took all the steps to make sure you were keeping the hair healthy! I love all my clients but the research and everything you did was a job well done!!

A piece of advice from a non professional that learned the hard way: if your roots are so long put the bleach on the lower part first and after you finish that put it on the root or just put it on the root on the second round if you need to bleach twice. I went to a busy salon once and I had 3 month roots, black hair and they didn’t follow this techniques so I had an orange strip along the previously bleached hair. So while they were trying to bleach that part by reapplying bleach and being super busy they fried a big part of the top of my hair leading to short broken hair. In the following months the short hair became more and more till I had a full part of short hair along the top of my head that kept flying on windy days😡 so if you are doing this by yourself make sure you follow this sequence :)

I think this is my favorite hair tutorial I've ever seen on YouTube. I love how you get to the point and I think it turned out SO beautiful! Thanks for posting this!!

I experimented on my hair for years to learn what I could have learned a lot faster if I had access to information and professional products. The hardest part is figuring out a mirror setup and getting olaplex. The truth is single process blonde isn’t rocket science. Another option is maintaining a base color and going in for highlights every two months. Saves a fortune and a lot of time. However, if you DO want true platinum from a colorist; find a colorist with platinum hair.

For someone not knowing what they were doing this came out great! The all over blonde after the toner looked amazing on u and it was even all over which is pretty hard to do on ur self. Coming from a professional standpoint this could have had a really bad outcome. Next time use a demi permanent on ur roots that is close to ur natural color that way the fade out is seamless and u don't have issues next time u lighten ur roots. Also another tip for ur ends if they come out brassy like they did, try a "bleach wash" or a "bleach bath" which is equal parts lightener, developer and clarifying shampoo. Put it on damp hair leave on for a few minutes. The shampoo and damp hair helps to not over process ur hair instead of straight lightener.  Ps u are GORGEOUS!!!

THAT BLEACH IS BOMB!! I used it to ombre my hair then when I wanted to go back to dark, my hair kept lightening up lol it works FAST!

I went to cosmo school and you did everything correct, that’s literally how we toned hair at school. Except you probably could’ve just toned the ends instead of re-lightening them. Good job!

Good for you girl it turned out great I'm thinking of doing my own blonde hair too cuz every time I leave the salon I'm not happy my hair is always yellow and they charge so much for me to not be happy

FYI, when u do the roots next time it would be best to mix maybe half the level 8N with half of the more ashy shade you wanted. Reason being that when you have such a light blonde underneath and u put just an ashy shade on top, it can turn the hair green. Btw I’m a hairstylist so just looking out for u lol. But ya so in the salon the correct way to go darker would be to first use a Demi or semi-permanent color that is an in between shade and then put the final color over that. This is because there are underlying pigments that every color of hair have, and if you don’t fill in those missing pigments, then the color may not turn out as they look on the swatches. For example, the underlying pigment of a level 8 hair is yellow. Since u toned first u took out that yellow,  but since u used 8N then it helped not turn green because N basically has warm and cool tones in it. If u would have used an ashy color alone then it could have turned a greenish color since they tend to have green or blue in them. So ya maybe try half and half next time just to be safe! U can even do a test piece underneath a little bit and see what it looks like first. Hope this helps! 😊
