Does It Get Blonder Than This???... well yea, but shh

Alllllrighty folks, I've posted about this blonde journey before... plenty of times... and my last post said that I had decided on Superblonde and I was SOLD... until I googled even more reviews and realized that I'd have to do some extra things to my hair after using the product... no.. I wanna buy 1 box and be done.
Fast forward to about 6 weeks ago, my googling had led me to this..

Preference Extra Light Ash Blonde! I read amazing things about this! The $2 off had nothing/a lot to do with this purchase. Ha! Anyhoo, I was ready and set for the attack of the non orange roots!... these were my results..


This is immediately after rinsing the post-color conditioner out.. I look happy right?.. because I was! It wasn't SO orange and honestly, the uneven appearance within my roots was expected since that's the usual outcome. (There's not much method to my hair dying maddness). But yea, totally satisfied, shouting from the rooftops about this haircolor..Yea!
This is me a week or so after.. pretty good right? Still a little yellow at the lightest part (the front) and u can see at my temples that my roots, while not as orange as I had previously experienced, are still not very close to my hair color. But this was still the best thus far.. this was my fav hair color!!! 

Cut to yesterday when I was in heaven.. I mean at target and shopping the hair dyes, looking for my beloved and stumble upon this little gem...
I thought to myself "what's holding me back from just buying the hardsest, lightest, platinum looking dye? Y not just dive right on in?" I grabbed the box and threw it into my cart... then I googled reviews. Ha! But no service in the store meant I'd have to just buy and hope for the best.... so when I got to my car, I googled reviews. Lol! Great things being said!Especially about its effect on roots and virgin hair. SOLD.. u know... again. 
Well I got the hooligans fed, bathed and asleep and got ready and set to get blonder!
I don't exactly follow all directions that come with my box dyes, I like to feel my way through the coloring process. 
So I put the gloves on, mixed the color exactly how instructed then I took a hair color brush like this one...
Starting at the center of the front of my hair, I use the pointed end to part my hair from the hairline to about the top center of my head. I squeeze the color out along my roots on either side of the part and then use the brush to spread it from scalp to the end of my new growth.  I repeat that process spacing the parts about a half an inch apart... then the back... is a mess. Ha! I do my roots in the back by blindly poking the nozzle of the applicator bottle into my hair, squeezing color out in spurts and rubbing the color in with my fingers.... ridiculous, I know but so what. Anyhoo, after that, I make sure the edges are covered all around my hairline then I put the rest of my hair in bun on the top of my head and throw on a plastic cap. 30-40 minutes later, I take the cap off and then apply the color to the rest of my hair. I wish I had gotten 2 boxes because I felt like my hair wasn't saturated enough. But whatevs,I got it covered as best I could, piled it at the top of my head and the put the plastic cap back on for another 20-30 minutes. The end result was grand! I rinsed the color out then applied the anti-brass conditioner that came in the box for a few minutes. After rinsing that out, I put some leave-in conditioner in my hair and let it air dry. Pretty simple right?...
Boom! Amaztastic right?! Well, I'm all too familiar with my hair drying and the orange becoming more noticable, but even after it dried, this hair of mine is WAY lighter and less yellow/ orange than ever! WOOHOO!!! And now here is my hair all dry and extra bright...
What's that you say? It's orangey on the sides?... let me tell u, I don't take pics of my head allover because Iit's usually much more orange at my roots in the middle. Very happy with these results and can't wait to actually DO my hair... this is my hair after falling asleep on it wet. 


And there you have it folks!  I have found my new fav hair color and will hopefully be getting more and more platinum... without my hair falling out.. wish me luck!
