Why is it after a series of bleaching, and using lightning shampoos and toners (even with my naturally light hair) my hair won't become white?

Answer #1

Because you probably have naturally beautiful dark hair that wasn’t meant to be white. White is a unnatural color that actually is horribly unhealthy to bleach and lighten to. The reason you get grey hair when you get older is your body stops making the color enzymes, so when your hair grows it lacks color. odds are your not going to get that for a long time. Bleaching is stripping your hair.

Answer #2

I’m a blonde, haha. I suppose giving up on the idea is best…

Answer #3

I see you said Natrually light, sorry i didnt catch that. Its simply because white isnt a color. Platinum is a color or shade of bleached hair that is close to white, but you really are just killing your hair and if you have healthy hair it can be more resistant to bleach

Answer #4

You need to counteract the colours in your hair. I’m assuming after a period of bleaching and lightening, your hair is a yellowish creamy colour? You need to counteract the yellow with purple by using a shampoo literally called ‘purple shampoo’ lol. If your hair is more orangey, you need blue based shampoos. You can buy these special shampoos at hairdressers and I have seen them literally work in front of my eyes. They are used for removing brassy/yellow/gold tones from blonde hair. You use it like a normal shampoo, but a lot of my co workers when I was a hairdresser used to put it on dry hair, emulsify it in, and leave for 10 or so minutes. When they washed it off, their hair was always noticeably whiter, until about 5 later, it would be white, or very nearly white.

When doing this though, you will need a treatment for porus hair. Your hair is at the stage where it will absorb anything, sunlight included. You need to close the microscopic holes in each hair-shaft so that the sun doesn’t alter your colour. Leave-in treatments are good. Try and get a ‘protein’ one, then when your hair is stronger, switch to ‘moisture’ treatments.

The counteracting colour technique I was talking about will also work with things like greenish hair after swimming in chlorine pools- Red is the opposite of green, so if your hair starts going greeny in the Summer because of swimming, try mushing in some tomato sauce diluted with shampoo to get the green out. Your hair may be a bit pinky for a day or so, but it will go back to blonde (within 1-2 days or a wash) whereas the green could stay in forever. Hope that helped a bit.

Answer #5

There are hair dyes that will make your hair white…..bleaches and what not remove all color from your hair turning it blonde but the extensive amount you probably used will destroy your hair not make it white….look for the hair dyes that are not as bad as bleaching.

Answer #6

You need to use toner to get it white.
