does this help cover grey?

It covers grey only in that it makes it a lighter (sometimes white) blonde - can be useful if you'd like the 'streaked' look

What is the trick so that when you mix the powder and shake, it doesn't bubble up? You mix the cream and you have to cut down the tip it's so thick?!

That is the one thing I really dislike about this hair dye. The powder is almost impossible to mix completely, even using the flat top on the cream developer. While applying, it frequently clogs up and then spurts or has to be cleaned out. It’s so annoying when you’re trying to be quick about the whole application process. I am sure this is the reason that so many people have a patchy, blotchy outcome. When you do manage to get it on smoothly, it is a beautiful color, however. Even in my white and graying hair. I was thinking next time I might try to mix it w/ a chopstick in the cream bottle… I think the above suggestion from susieQ333, to mix some of the cream in the powder pouch and then pour it back into the main bottle, is a good idea too!

Can i use a ultra light ash blonde to take away the horrid yellow i have been left with by using L'oreal platinum blonde or must it be ash blonde

Claire,It is normal to have yellow hair after using this product - not to panic! It's just the 1st step of your hair coloring routine. As a 2nd step, I use L'Oreal Excellance - 9A shade - light Ash Blonde to achieve platinum hair color. Ash cancels the yellow. But make sure to only apply the ash product on the hair that you bleached that are yellow. The ends of your hair are usually much light and will absorb the ash color much quicker than the roots. What I do is, apply the ash color for 20-25 min on roots only, and then quickly for the rest of the hear for 5 min only and then wash immoderately, otherwise you might end up with lighter roots and darker rest of the hair.Let me know if you have more questions.Good luck.

I have black hair. After dying it, would more hair color be like the one in the picture or...?

Long ago, I paid a fancy salon $1200 to color correct my hair from black to a level 7 blonde. Afterwards, I started dying my hair black again. I used Féria’s blue black for approximately 8 years. Note, I did my entire head every time to refresh the dark color on my ends, so I literally had years of straight black box dye build up on my ends. I decided to go lighter, and used color oops, assuming it would maybe pull me to a level 3-4. Color Oops managed to pull my hair from a level 1 to a level 6.5 on the first try - and I have super insanely thick and very long hair (had to use 3 full bottles of color oops in one sitting). My hair was rather yellow-ish after this, but fully able to be covered with an ultra light high-lift brown (basically dark blonde 6.5). I put the Féria high lift platinum on and effectively got to an 8 with no crazy streaming or blotchiness, and no further yellow. My hair isn’t fried at all (I don’t use Olaplex, But I do use some other tricks). So, it’s absolutely possible to go from pitch black to blonde with relative ease, if you know what your hair can handle and don’t push those boundaries. Moral of the story - If you’re unsure re: your hair dying prowess, hit the salon. If you’re a relatively competent and comfortable with your hair, try out your options. Just be fully prepared for disaster if it strikes (my plan was just to have crappy hair for a few weeks if things didn’t work out, let my hair heal, and re-dye with black).
