Why should you bleach your hair?

Bleaching your hair is a great way to change your look, whether you’re looking for something temporary or permanent. It can be cheaper than going to the salon or having a professional do it for you, and it’s also good for experimenting with different colors without commitment.

Bleaching hair is also used as an alternative to dyeing it. If you have dark brown hair, bleaching will help you remove some of the color from your strands so that they become lighter in tone. This technique can reveal many shades of blonde hidden underneath the natural color; however, if applied incorrectly this process can cause significant damage to your hair and scalp due to over-heating during application

How to prepare your hair for bleaching

First, you should do a strand test. This is where you take a small amount of bleach and put it on the roots of your hair. If it doesn’t burn or feel uncomfortable after five minutes, then you can proceed with bleaching your hair.

Second, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner before bleaching (if you’re going to use one). This will get rid of any dirt or buildup that might interfere with the bleaching process.

Third, protect your clothes while doing this! Your garments could get ruined if they come in contact with chemicals from the bleach or any residue left over afterwards.

Lastly, prepare all materials needed for using the bleach! Make sure all bottles are sealed tightly so as not to spill anything while handling them; also make sure that everything else needed for this task is present (a towel nearby won’t hurt either).

How to bleach your hair

To bleach your hair, you will need:

  • Bleach powder
  • Developer
  • Hair bleach (preferably with a brush tip) or a tube of bleach in the color of your choice. If you have dark brown or black hair, go for a lighter shade as it’s easier to lighten than it is to darken. If you have blonde or red highlights, choose a darker shade so that they don’t fade out too much during the bleaching process.
  • Hair dye in any color that matches your desired outcome (optional). This step isn’t necessary if there are no roots showing and all you want is the lower part of your head dyed another color. However, if you want all over colored strands like mermaid hair or rainbow colors like these ones from [insert social media link here] then make sure to use dye at this point!
