1. 1. How to bleach wash your ends. There are many different reasons youd need to do this. The other names you may hear from professional hair stylist are color cleanse color balancing decolorizing shampoo lightening shampoo bleach shampoo many different names all with the same intention and results. If your hair is too dark on the ends, flat, dull, browning out, even green. This task will save you tons of money and time at home.
2. 2. When talking about haircolor you must know there is only 2 ways you can remove hair dye. Hair Dye will NOT remove hair dye. You can use a color remover (if you want to start all over, best choice) or hair bleach (most salons will stick to this trick) For this specific post were talking about hair bleach. Bleaching hair is a chemical process involving the diffusion of the natural hair color or artificial haircolor pigment from hair.
3. 3. You will very few items. A plastic bowl and brush, hair bleach, 10 volume peroxide (use hair designed peroxide) and cheap shampoo. Youll also want gloves, a better shampoo and deep conditioner.
4. 4. Before you mix anything youll want to pigtail your hair, separating the ends youre trying to lighten. When bleach washing your ends you want to avoid getting this bleach wash formula on anything you dont want lightened. Weve have found that this is the most effective way to do so. If your mid lengths are also dark (more so the just the ends) try 4 pigtails in the section technique we explain in the prep to dye video.
5. 5. Now its time to mix your ingredients! Using a measuring unit will help make sure everything is perfectly mix. We used tablespoons because this was inspired by our friend Danya who has slightly shorter than shoulder length hair. The mix ratio is 1:1:1
6. 6. After mixing together your ingredients make sure everything is smooth. No need to wet your hair. If you feel your hair is a little damaged, please feel free to dampen your hair. Youll apply the bleach wash formula to those pigtails keeping it off your other hair, then scrub. Scrubbing causes friction and friction always wins. Youll do this for 5 minutes. 5 minutes at a time ONLY! If you feel this didnt lighten enough follow the rest of the steps and start it over.
7. 7. Shampoo using your regular shampoo and deep condition. Youll want to dry your hair before you dye. Most of the time the color comes up just enough that you wont need to pull a dye through. If you are dyeing again make sure you are ALWAYS ONLY using a Demi-Permanent, Semi-Permanent or Temporary on those ends.
