Things you need
Developer, as well as a liquid or powder lightener
The developer usually has 20-, 30-, or 40-volume peroxide measurements; the darker your hair is, the more peroxide you’ll need. However, the higher the volume, the riskier and more destructive it is to the hair. You’ll need 40-volume for the darkest hair, but don’t leave it on for too long or you’ll end up with clumps of broken hair. We’d nearly go as far as to say that 40-volume should never be used at home.
We would never recommend a cheap all-in-one kit under normal circumstances, but considering that this idea was inspired by quarantine boredom rather than your first day at a new job, there’s something to be said about keeping things simple.
Toner
Toner is crucial, and you won’t know which toner you’ll need until the colour has lightened to the desired level.
Gown
To protect and cover garments. Alternatively, you might just complete the job in your underwear.
Brush, bowl, gloves, and a plastic cap
A large comb and a tail comb
Regular shampoo and conditioner
Purple toning shampoo and conditioner
Sulfate-free shampoo
How to bleach
- Mix the lightener and developer
- Apply evenly to hair. Comb through to distribute – Divide your hair into pieces with the tail comb to keep track of what you’ve bleached and what you haven’t. (This is especially important for medium and long hair.) Longer haircuts may necessitate the use of clips to pull hair to the side while you work on the roots.)
- Cover with a shower cap for as long as stated on the instruction
- Wash and condition hair. Let it dry
- When the colour becomes too brassy in the weeks after dyeing, use purple toning shampoo and conditioner – Because the components in the conventional shampoo will tinge your hair’s newly golden colour, you shouldn’t wash or condition it as regularly. Purple items will assist in restoring your optimum tone. Use them as needed, but keep in mind that too much will result in red or violet undertones in your hair. It’s a fine line to walk.
- When absolutely necessary, use a regular sulfate-free shampoo – Also, don’t bother with the regular conditioner. Your hair will be in dire need of moisture, but a conditioner can quickly sabotage your bleach job.
