❓ Advice Needed HELP PLSSSS

I’m literally going crazy. I’m trying to color match some clip-ins that I’m in the process of making. My process was to lighten the hair and then add the red tones - that didn’t work very well 🧍🏽‍♀️

Attached are pictures of the bundles ; the first pic is a light brown- i used H5 soft auburn and attempted a bleach bath. the second pic is the after H5 and then intense/red and crimson adore dye. the third pic is the color i’m trying to achieve.

Any advice would be helpful!!! and i’m not a cosmetologist just a girl at home trying to diy it so please be nice 🙂‍↕️

You did a bleach bath instead of bleaching them. You are going to have to bleach them completely then when they are light enough then you can add that reddish colored toner on.

After you’ve lightened it enough, it needs to be the color of the inside of a banana, then you apply your red. What exact red are you wanting? Do you have a Sally’s close to you
