Is it better to lighten it overtime or bleach it all at once?

overtime


if you're not patient and don't care about your scalp or hair's health then do it all at once

it's better not to bleach it at all bc bleached hair looks tragic in any case

why? also how do u lighten it? how often do you lighten it?

Gradually. Bleaching leaves your hair unhealthy and super dry. Moreover, it hurts the scalp like a burn.

how do i lighten it? using bleach? apple cider vinegar? etc?

i wait every 3-4 weeks it's better to wait a month just to be safe also depends what you're really trying to do anyway.

developer and bleach powder also go watch some youtube vids those help

Neither, but avoid bleaching. Always wait at least 2 weeks in between jobs. And mix your own stuff instead of buying the kits. They sit for god knows how long.

You can't do anything about dying hair. Just cut them. They are dead anyway.

GRADUAL. And soak your hair in coconut oil before you bleach it. the bleach will penetrate through the coconut oil but you will have a somewhat protective shield.

i cut all my hair off a couple weeks ago because it was so damaged.

and oh yeah.. use 20 vol developer for bleaching. and don't forget to tone it when you're at the level you want but maybe use 10 vol developer.

OP do you live in the US? I can recommend some products from Sally Beauty.

girl i meant dying as in changing the color

isn't that word dyeing?

ot: dont bleach your hair

Go to the hair salon, I just had mine done today again

Don't wash your hair for 24 hours - keeps the natural oils so your scalp has some barrier against the bleach.

Just get it done professionally tbh, I've done it for over a year, had different colours and my hair still slays

It costs upwards of 200 dollars sometimes though Personally I think it's pretty easy to do yourself. you just gotta follow directions... watch the right youtube videos and do your research.

$17 - big tub of bleach powder that will last upwards of a year
$5 max big bottle of sensitive scalp developer
$4 for a toner
$5-9 for coconut oil for pre-bleach and post hair health.

When I bleached my hair 2 years ago I had reason to believe that it permanently damaged my scalp. I genuinely wouldn't bleach my hair ever again, especially if you're sensitive.

what volume developer did you use? I've only ever heard of 30 or 40 being bad for your scalp.

Hence why you go for a patch test at proper places. Trust, I've been doing my hair for so long and my hair is in really good condition!
