Bleach bath for hair
You can theoretically go from black to blonde in one day with little damage but that depends entirely on the state of the hair and you should always charge a realistic price for your work. You might be able to use a normal tint + peroxide mix to achieve the desired outcome or depending on how light they want to go, you might still need to use a bleach mix and apply highlights or consider using a balayage technique (as this is generally quicker). Bleach Bathing is a slower, weaker Bleaching process that Lightens your Hair gradually or can be used to remove stubborn Hair Colour. If someone wants to lighten their hair that has been tinted quite dark and/or with quite a build up of tint, I'd generally go for a colour reducer and charge accordingly as you'd need to set aside enough time to complete several processes. Once you have reached the roots, rub the rest of the bleach bath into your hair just like you would rub normal shampoo into your hair while showering. When applying the bleach wash, start at the bottom (or tips) of your hair and work your way up to the roots. If you don't do this immediately, any few remaining tint molecules will re-oxydise and the hair will still look coloured (albeit with less colour than previously so it might look a bit translucent). You will need to wear latex or rubber gloves for this step. Also, always apply another oxidising tint afterwards. The end result will not be the client's original natural colour though, because of the peroxide used in the original tinting process. Depending on amount of colour build up, you will probably need to re-apply 2-3 times. That's why you have to rinse the hair for at least five minutes and it also helps if you actively agitate the hair rather than just leaving the shower head flowing over it. These shrink the permanent colour molecules which are removed from the hair when rinsing. You may also find some degree of patchiness depending on colour build up.Īffinage Eraser, Rusk Elimin8, Blondie Rae etc. When I want to remove excess color buildup from someone’s hair, I mix cream lightener with 5 or 10 volume developer and gentle shampoo in equal parts. It does cause some damage in the same way any application of lightener does. Answer (1 of 4): Some lighteners can be activated without developer, but you’ll get more predictable results if you do use developer. These contains bleaching chemicals and strips colour (both natural and artificial) from the hair. I'll explain below the basic differences between a stripper & a reducer as they are different products and achieve slightly different outcomes.Į.g.
