Hair Bleaching

Recently I came across a young girl who wanted to change her hair colour from being a very dark brown to a lighter copper colour. To do this she was aware her hair had to be pre-lightened using hair bleach and to avoid paying a small fortune to get this done properly she decided she was going to try and do this herself. She just assumed that it is applied the same way as hair colour and she was using google for answers. I cannot stress enough how WRONG this is!

First of all hair bleach or pre-lightener is not applied the same as hair colour. It is mixed with a higher percentage of peroxide and should NEVER be applied to the scalp. Secondly it needs to be monitored closely as it can cause breakage and damage to the hair so this will need to be done by a professional who knows what to look out for. And as far as google is concerned, well I am sure everyone knows by now not to believe everything you read on the internet. While some of the information might be correct, sometimes the answers you get are posted by people who think they know but have no experience or qualifications. I know a lot of people, especially young girls, like to use home dyes to colour their hair rather than pay a hairdresser but PLEASE if you or anyone you know is planning on bleaching their hair make sure you or they go to a professional!

NEVER EVER TRY THIS YOURSELF!!
