The best way to ensure you get the color you want is to start the bleaching process off right. This means properly mixing the bleach powder and hydrogen peroxide in your kit. The powder should be added to the liquid slowly, and you will want to mix the solution thoroughly. When you are ready to bleach, put an old towel around your neck. This will prevent the bleach from running onto your skin or clothes. Also, be sure to wear gloves, which should come with your kit, to keep the bleach off your hands.

If you are bleaching your whole head, start from the back and bottom of your hair, and then work your way up. Be sure to apply the bleach as evenly as possible to get a consistent color. If you are only applying bleach to certain sections of hair, you may want to use ties, foil, or a cap to keep the chemicals off other strands. After the solution is applied, follow your kit’s instructions and keep the bleach on only as long as recommended. Then, rinse hair and use a mild shampoo to remove any lingering bleach. This should leave you with a gorgeous new color to show off.
