Bleaching natural hair

tiff unfortunately your hair will have to go through many stages to get to blonde have a look at my wedding photos and you can see how light my hair is (its not natural but shhh dont tell anyone ;) hehe) umm what happens is your hair will need to be stripped of the natural pigments of colour. Firstly it will go orange with the first application. then with a second application a yellowy blonde then finally with another applicatrion the platinum colour you want. from my experiences you are better to either go to a salon and gt them to use a special peroxide which not leave any yellowie colour in your hair a lot of the dyes you buy in the shops for home treatment will still leave a yellowie tint and will damage your hair. ( even though a level of damage is something you wont be able to avoid but you can lessen the damage at a salon) If you are to do it at home it can take some time and probably about 4 months before you get to the stage you want. They recommend you wait some time between applications to help reduce damage.

I always found that no matter what I did even at certain salons I ended up with a yellowie tinge in my hair until I went to a salon just before my wedding the hairdresser explained to me that this was a new type of paroxide which reduced the yellowie tinge you can see how my hair has a silvery platnium tinge which I love. You can also get a silver toned rinse put over your hair if you end up with a yellowish tinge.

The other thing is if you decide you want to do it at home no matter what go to a shop like one that sells salon products to the public and explain what you want to do and they can offer you a peroxide that may be less damaging and work better then that you buy at the supermarket such as the loreal products etc.

Good luck hope I helped :)
