izzy asks:

I have fair skin, green eyes and my natural hair colour is dark blonde/light brown. I really suit high lift blonde but have given hair a rest from colour for nearly two yrs. I would like to colour my hair again with blonde through my fringe & framing around my face, but what colour will I suit over the rest of my hair?

For a nice contrast against the blonde go for a muted copper/ strawberry blonde, mixing a copper with an ash blonde will create this and can look really striking with green eyes.

Gabrielle asks:

I got my hair bleached at a salon a couple months ago, but can�t afford to get my roots redone so I decided to do an at home job with Wella Lightening Power and Wella 20 Volume Creme Developer. I accidentally started on the front, so it changed a lot quicker than the back. I washed in out with purple shampoo and left in a repair conditioner for a couple minutes right after. Although I�m not overly concerned with the uneven colouring, would it be too much to bleach the back again in the same day? If not, how long would be a good wait before bleaching the back again? Furthermore, I accidentally made way too much bleach so is there a "shelf life" for mixed bleach or do I just dump it?

Your bleach will have fully oxidised one hour after mixing, making it unusable. Although I would strongly advise that you get your bleach done professionally, if you are going to attempt to do it at home, can I suggest asking a friend to apply it for you? There�s no harm in reapplying the bleach to the orange areas but if you overlap onto the whiter bleach areas you will risk breakage. As the orange is at the back a friend will be able to see better to get a careful application.
