My Platinum Blonde experience

For school on worksheet 13 (the last worksheet) you have to do a platinum card. Which basically means lifting someone at least three levels to achieve the white blonde look. A friend of mine is graduating this coming week and she still needed her platinum card! So what did I do? I volunteered! I was getting tired of the red anyway! So for the week before this happened, I shampooed the crap out of my hair and tried to get all the color out. To be honest, this isn't as bad as it could have looked
Then the day came to bleach out my hair, and of course it was just oh so glamorous!
Foils are totally in by the way. And then the big reveal. So from the first picture, you see that some of my hair was previously bleached. Because of that, we didn't put bleach on those pieces until the last ten minutes or so because we thought they would lift really fast. Well, somehow those pieces turned kind of a greenish pee yellow and it was quite interesting. We decided we would bleach them again the next day and put toning off until then. Thus the yellow hair I was sporting for a day :)
Then the next day we bleached and toned and I am altogether happy with the outcome. I think it was good for a change (especially since I've been almost every color since I started school! Might as well try my hardest to complete it!) and I'm excited for my regrowth! NOT.
