I made the mix myself.......3% peroxide and same amount of powder bleach.

Cheers for that shampoo comment! I did know about them and was planning on them but forgot lol

i used to use Magic Silver White toner to take the brassiness out.

Yeah I might change the toner and try that one. This one was a grey to dark grey toner......if that even makes a difference.
Cheers

its been a while since i bleached my hair....Just did a quick google and it looks like it may be  called Brilliant Silver White Magic Toner - that might be it.

I have not seen the magic white around for years, we used to use Crystal Silver, cant get the in NZ now
