– Limit heat styling to avoid further damage
Applying the Bleach
– Apply bleach mixture to a small section of hair to determine timing
– Spread mixture throughout the head
– Use hair dye remover before bleaching to remove black color residue
– Monitor hair closely during processing time

– Use high-lift hair colors for the first few sessions
Checking the Bleach
– Continuously check hair color until desired lightness is achieved
– Pay attention to roots and use extra bleach if needed

Post-Bleaching Care
