I've tried color oops, honey treatments, mineral oil and alcohol, hard water shampoo, and clarifying shampoo and nothing has worked. Although the color oops removed most of the indigo and a black box dye I had over my hair. So I decided to just bite the bullet and bleach my hair to hopefully lighten it up to a point where I could tone it (using elemen ab@9 and @6). A family friend whose a hair stylist was able to get olaplex for me.
The weird part is that when I bleached my hair, after I washed it out and before I applied the no.2 my hair was dripping orange! At first I thought I spilled some of the no. 1 but nope my hair was dripping orange. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone before?? The same thing happened when I bleached again at a lower volume. The thing is it stops dripping orange as soon as I apply no.2 or any deep conditioner/ protein treatment. I'm hoping there's a way to exploit this without going back in to bleach my hair! Any ideas? Or explanation of what happened? Please ask if you need anything clarified!
