How to Bleach Your Hair Blonde: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before You Start:
Choose the Right Bleach
* Use a bleach specifically designed for hair. * Choose a bleach level based on your desired color.
Gather Your Materials
* Bleach powder * Developer (usually 20-30 volume) * Plastic dish or bowl * Brush or applicator * Gloves * Old towel or cape * Toner (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1.
Mix the Bleach: Combine the bleach powder and developer in a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 1 scoop bleach to 2 scoops developer). Stir well until smooth. 2.
Apply the Bleach: Section your hair and apply the bleach mixture evenly to the roots. Avoid overlapping bleached areas. 3.
Process the Bleach: Process the bleach according to the manufacturer's instructions. This can take 20-45 minutes. 4.

Condition: Apply a deep conditioner to help restore moisture and protein to your hair. 6.
Neutralize the Bleach: Use a developer-only solution (no bleach) to neutralize any remaining bleach on your hair. This step is important to prevent further damage. 7.
Apply Toner (Optional): If desired, apply a toner to adjust the color of your bleached hair. Toners can help remove brassy or yellow tones. 8.
