2. Put on your Goggles! Never forget the goggles, unless you have eyeglasses, then add tape around them to protect your eyes.
3. Commence mixing the bleach and developer mixture.
4. Part your hair in 4 sections. Start at the back and DO NOT start at your roots or else you will come out with lighter roots and darker ends.
5. Add bleach all over your head, keeping 1 1/2 inches away from your roots initially. After you have finished the rest of your hair, apply the bleach mix to your roots, being careful not to massage it into your scalp too much.
6. Put the clear or white plastic bag over your hair (make sure it's not covering your face, but is over all of your hair) then tie it at the nape of your neck making sure all of your hair is tucked underneath the bag. a grocery bag is fine, but make sure the side with printing on it is NOT against your head, or you will wind up with the color of the print processed into your hair a bit. whoops!
7. Leave it like this for up to 60 minutes. Set a timer for 60 minutes (1 hour) so you will be sure.
8. Wash out with a PH neutralizing shampoo this will stop any further acidic or basic chemical reactions from occurring on your head. This will formally end the bleaching process. You MUST wash this out completely.

9. If your hair is not as light as you want at this point, then towel-dry it. then use a really great protein treatment to strengthen your hair like Aphogee (look it up. This takes a few hours to harden and about half an hour to wash out, so you must allow time to do it properly if you choose it.)
10. Once you have used a protein treatment after that it's all set, completely rinsed out, and towel dried, then you must use a deep conditioning treatment so that your hair is conditioned as well.
11. Wait one week or more and then repeat the bleaching tips up to this point do that until your hair is a light yellowish color with little to no orange it in. This shouldn't take more than one or two more processings, even for the darkest hair. In fact, if you suspect it will, It is highly recommended that you go to a professional hairdresser. Always wait at least a week between hair treatments!
12. Once you have reached the light yellowish color shampoo with the pH balancing shampoo, it is time to tone your hair to a respectable platinum shade with a toner that will counterbalance any brassy tones (i.e. make it not yellow.) Make sure not to protein treat or condition your hair!
13. Put goggles on...After 24hrs. or more, mix toner in plastic container with 30 volume crème developer (read directions on toner). Depending on how golden or platinum you want to be, add drops of Ardell's "Lock in Blonde". The more you add, the more golden blonde your hair will be. If you pass this, that's fine. Your hair will not be as crispy blonde. It's suggested to add about 18 drops to give your hair a bit of color/golden platinum enhancement.
14. After 40 minutes,(read directions on toner) wash, condition and dry.
15. To repeat- Do not bleach or dye your hair for more than an hour at at a time and always leave a week or two in between for processing time for your hair and scalp to heal. Otherwise, your hair will be damaged, dull, frizzy. Hair will become brittle and tend to break and there's a possibility your head will be covered in scabs. Always condition in between! Be patient.
Tips:
- Condition, Condition, Condition, Condition.
- I would also buy a hair serum/polisher to add to my dry blond hair.
- Try using "Fantasia IC" hair polisher. It costs around 5 dollars at any
Walgreens, Sally's Beauty Supply, or Ricky's. It will make your hair look gorgeous!
- Also, buy another hair dye, a darker one, or the same as your previous hair colour. That way, if it turns out bad, you can return to the same color. However, you should not process your hair with more chemicals, including dye, for at least 24 hours after bleaching.
Warning:
- Wear Goggles or you risk going blind!
- Do not let the bleach get onto bare skin or clothing.
- Do not contact with eyes.
- Never use a metal clip or a metal mixing bowl!
- Use gloves!
- Bleaching hair with reddish tones will turn orange.
- Don't use chlorine bleach to color hair. The term "bleach" refers to hair bleach which can be purchased from beauty supply stores.
- On natural black hair, it is more likely to turn out the color you prefer easier than unnaturalblack hair. If your hair is dyed black unnaturally, then you have to wait a little longer till you can bleach again. Or else the color will turn out the same color you dyed before the black. If you have dyed black hair, a colour remover like Colour Oops can be less damaging than bleaching it out.
- Doing this too often may damage your hair.
- If done wrong, it may turn your hair an orange color. You can remove the orange tone with a toner which can be purchased from beauty supply stores. (A toner tones down the orange or yellow so it can look more natural).
- Any bleach massaged in your scalp will most likely result in chemical burns, which are little scabs that not only are gross, but hurt! They are easy to get if you over process without giving your scalp a chance to breathe and heal!
- Do not leave the bleach mix on for over an hour! You will get chemical burns and your hair will be destroyed!
- If you breathe in too much bleach while applying it to your hair, and start feeling nausea, call a doctor right away.
