Trust me, I've melted my hair off more than once and it is NOT FUN to deal with.<br /><br />Reds are tough because the pigment molecules are bigger than any other color and they rinse out really fast. It probably is a good idea to add it to your conditioner, especially if you leave it on for a long time in the shower. John Freida and Giovanni make really good color-boosting shampoos, though.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the violet in most bleach powders isn't enough to keep the hair from pulling yellow (which it does on everybody) and you have to tone no matter what you do. But if you were dyeing over it, and you had lots of time to devote to the color, toning with Virgin Snow probably wasn't necessary.<br /><br />Speaking as a professional, by the way. I own a tub of TIGI bleach and two different colors of toner (red-pink and blue), which can actually, if you add enough, give a subtle shade of warm pink, blue, purple, yellow, or green. It's cheap and I can DIY my color. I've accidentally turned my blonde sections hot pink trying to tone some green out of them, though!dull_flamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567774313453268606noreply@blogger.com
