Instruction manual bleaching and color by Bente

Preparation:
Do not wash your hair before bleaching, as the scalp's natural oils provide protection. Use a hair conditioner on damaged hair first. Wear gloves and a plastic cape, and have a clean mixing bowl and color brush ready. A helping hand can be helpful.

Mixing ratio:
1 bag Blond + 1 bottle H2O2 90 ml. Mix only one mixture at a time. If you do not need the entire package, you can start with 1 tablespoon of powder to 2 tablespoons of H202. There should always be twice as much H202 as powder. Apply to dry hair.

Permanent hair color small:
Mix H2O2 60 ml with 2 tubes Mix.

Permanent hair color medium:
Mix H202 90ml with 3 tubes Mix.

PROCEDURE

Step 1 – Bleaching:
Start applying the bleach at the back of the hair or on the darkest area. Remember that the hair around the hairline is thinner and finer, and therefore lightens faster. The maximum exposure time is 60 minutes from the time everything is applied. After 60 minutes of exposure, the bleaching process will slow down considerably. Check the bleaching by scraping off a little bleach to check the lightness. It is important that the hair is light enough before rinsing. The hair must be more towards bright yellow, not orange.

Step 2 – Rinsing:
During rinsing, the bleach can be lathered up to refresh the lengths. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo once, and apply conditioner or hair treatment to the lengths of the hair. Dry the hair thoroughly with a towel.

Step 3 – Color:
Start applying the color to completely dry hair. Start at the back of the hair or on the most golden area. Apply to the entire base first, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, and then comb the color slightly into the hair to avoid an edge. Only apply color to hair that is to be neutralized. Dry light lengths and ends absorb color quickly, they can be lathered up during rinsing for a more natural result. Rinse, wash and finish with a good hair treatment.

Important information:
Bleaching is the most intensive treatment your hair can undergo. Therefore, it is important to avoid using stronger bleaching agents than necessary. BNever use more hydrogen than necessary. Better with full exposure time at lower strength than a shorter time at higher strength. H202 9% and 12% must never be used on dry, weakened, porous or already bleached hair. If you already have bleached hair, you can apply a little conditioner to the transition area to protect the already lightened hair.

You should always use a cooler shade at the very base of the scalp as this hair needs more pigment, cooler pigment and longer exposure time to achieve an even hair color. Color will neutralize better, cover better and last longer than a tint. Dry lengths and ends quickly absorb pigment and can become darker, even with a light shade.

When adding pigment through color, the hair will always be slightly darker when using 1.5%. If you do not want the color to darken we recommend 3% strength and if you want an extra lightening we recommend 6% or 7.5% on the color after bleaching.

Here we show the difference between color and toning after bleaching:
