How to get your hair bleach blonde?

So, you’ve decided that bleach blonde hair is the look for you. But how do you achieve it without ending up with a head full of straw? Fear not, my follicle-loving friends! Follow these steps and your locks will be lightened in no time.

First Things First: Know What You’re Getting Into

Bleaching your hair is serious business. Not only can it seriously damage your hair if not done correctly, but it can also irritate your scalp and cause allergic reactions (more on that later). Make sure this is a decision you are fully committed to before diving in head first – pun intended!

Go Pro or DIY?

Now that you’ve made the big decision to go platinum, it’s important to decide whether or not you want to trust yourself with this delicate process. Do-it-yourself kits may seem like an easy way out, but unless you’re experienced at bleaching hair and have a friend nearby who knows what they’re doing (cough cough), it might be best to leave it up to the professionals.

If money or proximity prohibits salon visits, there are some great YouTube tutorials out there too (just make sure they aren’t sponsored by “Hair Disasters R Us” beforehand).

Gather Your Supplies

If going pro isn’t possible, get ready for some shopping therapy! Here’s what y- umm.. I mean here’s what one would need:

  • Powder Lightener: The stronger the better; we’re tryna lift.
  • Developer: This comes in different volumes depending on how severe of a lift one wants.
  • Toner, which gets rid of unwanted yellow tones after bleaching.
  • A tinting brush
    A bowl & gloves for mixing purposes
    Oh wait!! Don’t forget clips and tin foil strips as well so don’t scramble mid-process.

OMG, Time To Bleach!

Before you get started on parting your hair into mini quadrants: it’s really important to read the instructions! All bleaches are different and there is a balance of powder to developer that needs active attention. Also, be sure not to apply the bleach near/on any sores or cuts.

After reading the instruction, mix together an equal amount of powder lightener and developer in a flat brush shampoo mixing bowl. It ranges from having 10 Vol-40 Vol which refers to levels of hydrogen peroxide varying strength; select one after analyzing scalp sensitivity as your fantasy blonde locks can wait but sensitive skin won’t.

Important: Only start applying at least half an inch away from scalp; work through each section till saturation making sure there are no dry spots left out with tint brush (DO NOT exceed 45 minutes).

Once done reach celebrity status by wrapping aluminum foil around dyed sections tightly (avoid spilling), heating up under sun for natural heat – this step accelerates oxidation providing bright shade

Rinsing & Toning

It’s time for that moment we’ve all been waiting for… rinsing our heads full mercilessly getting rid of every trace, while keeping eyes scrunchie tight or holding face upwards parallel towards spraying shower head — Don’t let anyone capture you doing it!! Rinse until water turns clear (use lukewarm H2O). Then use neutralizing shampoo followed by toner alternatively (twice weekly) before top-up using purple/fuchsia pigmented products during washes – protect against brassy/yellow tones whilst nourishing thirsty treated strands).

YAY YOU DID IT! Enjoy your eye-catching new look!!!

But Wait… There’s More

Going bleach blonde is definitely not one process thing.. The journey doesn’t stop after you leave salon/ rinse out mixtures from hair all by yourself at home — as said before toning is essential. There will be continuous upkeep requirements but lesser if DIY-ed become.. Also, after the first couple of weeks intense dryness can occur in which a deep conditioning hydrating mask real boosts health and ease with managing.

Invest in products that specifically cater to color treated hair. If you’re going for icy platinum blonde, look no further than blue or purple pigment shampoos and conditioners: these work wonders for preventing yellow-orange brassy patterns down the line also maintaining silky texture by keeping healthy pH balance of scalps.

Allergic Reactions

Hives? Skin irritation? Chest Tightness? Difficulty breathing?

If one experiences any symptoms such as those listed above, stop immediately; scrub dye off completely from scalp until next steps are taken advised by medical professionals. This could mean antihistamines/ medications orally taken aimed relieving inflammation furthermore med attention sought may vary supportive not to result in severe consequences.

It’s best to do a patch test 1-2 days prior bleaching hair align instructions set behind package labels because safety should never take second place especially when talking about oneself!

Conclusion

Bleach blondes definitely get all eyes on them (observed) – (thanks to sunshine reflecting off glistening bright locks). Please remember bleach can really damage hair so make sure everything’s planned out beforehand (and maybe invest some cash insuring against potential future risks!) – After all yolo, right?!
