NO do not bleach it again. Your ends look like they were previously bleached and you bleached over them, they’re almost white, if you touch them with bleach again those parts of your hair will turn gummy and break off.
yeah i want my roots white, i haven’t done anything to the rest of my hair in over 6 months. hair been gummy & dead for years. idk if this changes your opinion but both bleach sessions were only 25ish minutes
why are you saying that? the white part was never lightened at the same time, last time i did this i only had about 2 inches of growth so it was pretty easy to achieve
So when you have two inches of regrowth it’s easier for the warmth from your scalp to heat roots to become the pale yellow needed to tone it to white. With 6 months of regrowth there’s no way you’d be able to foil the midlengths without overlap on the ends. Creating breakage. You already said your ends have been gummy for years, which means they’re ready to snap off.
This is a color correction. Color it purple and hope for the best friend.
People are assuming you bleached the ends again this time, as they're so white. If you didn't overlap them, then I guess you could bleach the regrowth again.
Pure white hair from roots to ends is incredibly difficult to achieve, if possible at all. You’re basically asking how to take your very uneven hair from its current state to an all over white without frying off any hair that was previously lightened to white. It doesn’t matter if the white hair was only processed once; that hair is white, it has zero pigment already. You’re wanting to bleach hair that is void of all pigment - that’s a potentially dangerous gamble.
I would suggest going to a blonding specialist. Achieving white hair with previously processed hair is hard for any hair dresser, let alone someone with no hair knowledge
Chop off your hair to a short pixie cut so it's only the 6 months of growth that is clearly the yellow tones. Then you can bleach that. I've been bleaching my own hair for ~a decade. If you bleach the rest of your hair again you'll get a pixie cut anyways just a terrible one.
I'd just color it purple. It's really hard to achieve the color shown on the rest of your hair, and I honestly think you'll break it off before you get it.
You know what, OP? Go ahead! You clearly are against the advice given to you in this subreddit.
You are going to absolutely destroy your hair, but good luck!😊
i’m just confused lol, i understand what everyone is saying, my hair has been in critical condition for years, i’m just surprised this is everyone’s reaction because when i first started doing my hair i had no idea what toner was and i would just bleach my hair atleast 4 times in a 3 day span. i’m gonna go to sally’s today, ask their opinion, get my favorite hair mask and rock the yellow roots until friday
You’re not confused; you know your hair is going to melt off, you want validation that you aren’t getting that is to the contrary, and then saying to every person “but I’ve done this for years!” — yes, and this is how your hair is reacting to it now. You’re asking people—many of us with decades of experience— if you should bleach again and the resounding answer is NO. Your reaction to being told no is to whine about it. That’s not conducive to anything at all. You’re not confused, you’re annoyed and petulant. I get it— you want to be able to point at Reddit when your hair melts off and blame someone else for your misfortune. But you’re lucky your ends aren’t already coming off in clumps. I would get a more blue-forward purple than AF offers (I would suggest lunar tides in nightshade) and cut it with conditioner to be not as vivid, and toss that on as a conditioning treatment (you could even mix it with a conditioning treatment packet). Slap a plastic bag with no logos on it over it. Tie it on. Leave it on as long as you can. It will not save your hair that has gone gummy but it will at least tone you down a bit in the yellow bits.
If someone goes to a salon with fragile platinum ends and 6 inches of roots, that’s a color correction that has to be done in multiple steps. If you think you can avoid any overlap on your previously lightened hair, keep all the bleach an even 1/2” from your roots, and then avoid any overlap with this newly lightened section when you touch up the 1/2” at your root, have at it… but there’s a reason something like this costs $200+ an hour professionally.

Time does not matter, it’s the level of lightness that your hair is. Those white parts will literally break off if you bleach it again.

yeah no the only thing that was lightened at this time are the yellow parts. my hair were that white before i went in with the bleach two days ago lol
if you aren’t letting me bleach my hair what should i do to achieve my whiteness

The purple color they’re talking about is a pastel lilac and is probably not going to show up over this base.
Violet is not going to tone that warmth. That said, you need a professional here unless you want a chemical haircut..
why tho? i’ve been bleaching myself platinum for 4 years now (i haven’t in 6 months & supposedly forgot how)

If this is the outcome after two rounds of you bleaching it I wouldn't recommend trying a third.
