Bleached, part 1
I used 30 vol cream developer and Quick Blue powder bleach. I used half the little bottle, and half the powder. I'm going to bleach it again in hopes of getting it lighter. We'll see.
After that I'm going to condition it, and tomorrow get some blue-violet based toner in a platinum color. Then try to make it gray...
eta:
I'm wondering though, would I need to get it super pale with the Creme Toner in Extra Light Platinum (base blue-violet), or could I forgo that and use the Glorious Grays in Glorious Slate or Smoke (iirc it's also base blue-violet). And then continuing to use the Rinse in True Steel (perfect color!). Maybe I wouldn't have to go through that extra step. I dunno, just thinking. Or maybe I could just use the Glorious Gray toner and color it with Light or Dark Drabber (grey with purplish tint) from Wella. Those drabbers are Modifiers, I'm guessing they "can" be used as the actual permanent color... gooness me! :o)
