You may need to bleach it more than once before it’s light enough, which is why it’s important to ensure hair is as hydrated as possible before bleaching. It did fry my hair when I washed it out. I used Dawn that someone else suggested and that worked great to take out the color but don’t try to brush it after. My hair is a knotted mess today. Make sure you use a toner after bleaching, before you apply the dye. This will reduce any yellow tones in your hair and is a must if you want to achieve a gorgeous grey or silver look.
