Bleaching / striping:
Have you previously dyed or bleached your hair? Is your hair damaged or weakened? This will affect how your hair reacts to bleaching. It is always better to use a weaker H202 and let it sit for the full working time. If you want to lighten already lightened hair, 1.5% or 3% will be enough for a nice refresh.
Determine the desired brightness level:
How many tones lighter do you want your hair to be? This will help you choose the right strength of H2O2. The thicker, healthier and darker your hair, the stronger the lightening. Never use more than 6% on dry or already lightened hair.
1.5% H202 lightens about 1 tone - Weakest strength
3% H202 lightens 2-3 tones - Weak strength
6% H202 3-4 tones - Normal strength
7.5% H202 about 4 tones - Normal strength
9% H202 4-5 tones - Heavy strength
12% H202 6-8 tones - Very strong (should consult with city officials)
Understand the products in the package:
Blonde: This is the bleaching powder that will lighten your hair.
H2O2: Hydrogen peroxide activates the bleaching powder and helps the lightening process. Choose the desired strength based on your needs and hair quality.
Assess the condition of your hair:
If your hair is dry or weakened, you should use a light bleaching. It is better for your hair to have several rounds of a light strength rather than a strong and more aggressive bleaching. Use a good hair treatment before and after bleaching to strengthen your hair. If you are unsure what your hair can tolerate or what to choose, we always want you to contact us.💖
Bleaching:
Dry shampoo should always be washed out before bleaching hair as this can cause a chemical reaction in the hair. It is important that the bleaching is light enough before rinsing, scrape off a little product to check the lightness before rinsing. You can wrap the lengths a little with the plastic cap for better lightening. But make sure it doesn't get too hot, then this must be removed.
The hair contains yellow pigments until the hair is chalk white. Always recommend a neutralization after bleaching. For already lightened, dry or damaged hair, it is important to reduce the strength of H202 and monitor the hair quality.
If you have used spray blonde, you should never bleach your hair as a chemical reaction may occur and the hair may break.
Bleaching by Bente:
Blonde is mixed with a bottle of H202 90 ml
It is very important to monitor the lightening process during the process, so that the hair is light enough before rinsing. Scrape off a little of the bleach to check the lightness of the hair. It is important that the hair is more towards light yellow, not orange. Exposure time 60 min is the full exposure time, after 60 min the bleaching decreases drastically. The hair will always turn a little yellow after bleaching and therefore we always recommend neutralizing after bleaching.
Mix only one mixture at a time.
For smaller mixtures, 1 tbsp powder + 2 tbsp H202.
Flushing:
During rinsing, the bleach can be foamed up to refresh the lengths. Wash the hair thoroughly twice and finish with a good conditioner or hair treatment.
We always recommend conditioning your hair regularly after bleaching your hair.
