• How To Bleach Hair At Home

  Prepare Your Hair

  Bleach works by breaking through your hair shaft and oxidizing the melanin granules that give your hair its color (1). This process causes hair damage, and for the same reason, your hair needs to be in a healthy condition to be bleached (1).

   To prepare your hair

  1. Work With Virgin (Or Almost Virgin) Hair

  Hair gets damaged due to chemicals. Bleaching your hair can lead to more damage, as it makes the hair more penetrable (2).

  2. Coconut Oil Is Your Best Friend

  Soaking your hair in oil a night before you bleach it can make a world of difference. Coconut oil forms a protective barrier over your hair shafts and prevents moisture loss. The oil achieves this without hindering

  the bleaching process (3).

   

  YOU HAVE TO MIX BLEACH POWER WITH Developer/Peroxide

   pick the ideal volume for your needs.

  There are 10 hair levels, with 1 being the darkest – black, and 10 being the lightest – pale blonde. Depending on how much lift you desire, choose the ideal peroxide from the list below.

   

  Vol 10 – This volume will not work for dark hair. It is ideal for subtly fading dyed hair or lifting 1-2 levels of color on hair that is already light.

  Vol 20 – If you have hair that is light brown and do not want to lift a lot of colors, a 20 volume developer should do the trick. This lifts about 2-3 levels of color.

  Vol 30 – A volume 30 developer will help lift 3-4 levels of hair color, but it should not be left on your scalp for too long as it can cause irritation. If you have sensitive skin, it is best not to let the bleach come in contact with your skin or scalp when using this volume. If you want to bleach your hair to the lightest blonde, it is ideal to use this developer over 2-3 sessions.

   

  Bleaching Your Hair At Home

  For better results, ensure you don’t wash your hair at least 2-3 days prior to the bleach. Set up in a well-ventilated area with good lighting, a mirror, and a table to place all your tools on.

  Step 1: Wear Some Old Clothes, And Put Your Gloves On

  Make sure you put on some old clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting the bleach on. Put your gloves on.

  Step 2: Section Your Hair

  Divide your hair so that the crown section is secured away. This way, you can freely work with the back of your hair first. The crown section is hard to reach, so it is best reserved for the last.

  Step 3: Mix The Bleach Powder And Developer

  Mix the bleach hair dye and developer. You will have to add two parts of the developer for one part of bleach. Ensure there are no lumps, and the mixture is consistent.

  Step 4: Apply The Bleach

  Once you are done with the bottom sections, undo the section you secured away and start applying. As soon as all of your hair is covered in the bleach, cover your hair with a shower cap or a plastic bag.

  Tip: Apply the color first to the tips and mid-lengths of your hair as they take longer to lighten than your roots. Let the bleach sit for at least 20 minutes before you apply the color to the roots. This can ensure even color (and not lighter roots and dark tips).

  Step 5: Bleach The Higher Sections

  Once you are done with the bottom sections, undo the section you secured away and start applying. As soon as all of your hair is covered in the bleach, cover it with a shower cap or a plastic bag.

  Step 6: Sit Back And Wait For The Magic

  It is time to sit back and wait for the magic to happen! Do not leave the bleach hair color on for more than 30-45 minutes. Keep checking on the hair periodically to see if the color is lifting to the levels you want. Don’t worry if your hair is turning orange. It is normal for dark hair to turn orange when lightened.

  Note: Keep an eye on your hair and the surrounding skin. If you notice redness, itching, or burning after you have kept the bleach on your hair for a while, please wash the bleach off and visit a doctor.

  Step 7: Wash Your Hair And Let It Dry

  After 45 minutes, jump into the shower and rinse the bleach out thoroughly. Wash your hair with a balancing shampoo to balance the pH levels of your scalp. Follow with a protein balancing conditioner. Let your hair air dry.

  Step 8: Toner (Optional)

  If you do not want warm tones in your hair, you can bleach it with a toner. Replace the bleach with the toner and follow all of the steps listed above. Alternatively, you can use a toning shampoo to remove the warm tones from your hair. Read on to know how to avoid hair damage after bleaching.

   Trivia

  You can use a treatment or olaplex number 2 to lighten your hair.  The hair will be stronger.  

  You can use a purple or sliver shampoo to lighten your hair. The purple sliver shampoo adds a cool tint to the hair. If you feel the hair color is still dark or yellow. Bleach one more time one week later or apply the dark toner on that

   

  Bleaching curly hair, very dark, long, chemically treated, thin, very thick, kinky, dyed, permed, or brittle hair is not recommended at home. Instead, get someone to handle it professionally so you can get the results you want. Inflammation, redness, and a stinging feeling on the scalp are all indicators of an adverse reaction, so practice caution.
