If you know me, you know I love to experiment with hair (my own specifically), and this video is one of those “let’s see if we can fix it at home” days. I’m starting with that butter yellow blonde situation and my goal is to pull out a lot of the yellow so my hair actually matches the beige blonde extensions I’m about to install. I walk you through my at-home bleach wash approach (gentler than a full bleach session), why I chose 20 vol for the bleach step, and what I’m watching for as the tone shifts. After I lift, I go in with toner to get from yellow to a more wearable beige blonde. I’m using T12 (Silver Mist) and T38 (Ivory), and I’ll be real: I think these toners are a lot more mild compared to others out there, which is exactly what I want when I’m trying to nudge the shade without overdoing it. I also share the products I consider non-negotiable for keeping my hair feeling decent after any lightening—K18 is that must-have for me. And if you’re a stylist (or you’ve learned the hard way like I have), I’m genuinely open to tips—drop them in the comments because I love soaking up the knowledge.
