Bleaching hair?

how bad is it to bleach your hair? to get the lightness you want, how many times do you have to do it and do you have to wait inbetween each bleaching? if you use intensive conditioner will your hair stay at the same level of health??





I'd like to know your views on bleaching hair and from personal experiences?? As i am thinking of doing it next week? x ty (:








PS. SUN IN IS A PEICE OF ****.

Bleaching hair?
WELL, TECHNICALY, IT IS NOT GOOD TO BLEACH YOUR HAIR BECAUSE OF YOUR SCALP. IT IS LIKE PUTTING BLEACH ON YOUR SKIN. IF YOU DO THIS FOR A YEAR, YOUR SCALP WOULD BE ABSOLUTLEY FRIED. I THINK YOU SHUOLD RATHER USE ONE OF THOSE INHANCING SHAMPOOS THAT MAKES YOUR HAIR BRIGHTER.











PLEASE, DON'T BLEACH YOUR HAIR, YOU CAN MESS UP YOUR HEAD, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THAT. HOPE THIS HELPS! :^)

Reply:sun in works. bleaching ruins your hair....





GO TO THE BEACH AND USE SUN IN LEMON, DONT USE IT AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:well any colour will do damage no matter how much cponditioner you will slap on as bleeching takes out all the colour pigment of your hair i bleeched my hair and it had split ends and was in terrible state if i was you i would get some light streaks put in first see how you like it but be careful as bleecing can cause candyfloss hair
Reply:its didn't damage mine but i don't do it anymore. i just put lemon in my hair so its gets lighter
Reply:i know someone who did it and their hair got totally fried!!! and they said it hurt their head really bad too
Reply:well first off you should only need to bleach once to get any shade you want. If you do it right and with the right stuff it takes one time. Its quite dammaging but you just condition alot and take good care of your hair and its good. My hair is bleached and i have wayyy better hair then alot of girls i know.





If you are going to do it pls message me i will tell you what to buy and how to do it and such since bleach is quite harsh its reallllllyyy bad when you mess up. Plus most ppl think that if you go buy a box of color that has a blonde girl on it that it is bleach - its not. Alot of ppl dont know the diffrence between blue and violet bleach or what developer to use or what pretreatments and posttreatments to use.
Reply:bleach - just like hair dye, is bad for anybody's hair..


but I say just get it done once in a while (don't overdo it!)lol.








(I'm going to be bleaching my hair at the hairstylist..)


I've heard it takes a couple times for very dark hair to be bleached, because it turns out ORANGE..


so if you have dark or almost blackish hair, it'll take a couple times, but if you have lighter hair, maybe once or 2 timesish??

good luck!
Reply:its not gonna hurt your hair badly if you're not using it over and over and over again repeatedly





as long as you're taking care of your hair and following instructions, your hair will be beautiful and just how you want it! (=
Reply:Get a professional to do it honey.. It's worth the extra money. your hair could turn out orange by doing it at home..And it's gonna get damaged. no intensive conditioner will help you now.
Reply:THATS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE ULL EVER MAKE, I DID IT WHILE I WAS IN HAIR SCHOOL N MY HAIR IS EXTREMEMLY DRY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH CONDITIONING UR HAIR WILL NOT BE THE SAME, TRUST ME. IT WILL BE STRINGY, IM IN THE PROCESS OF LETTING IT GROW OUT AND CUTTIN ABOUT 2 INCHES OSS EVERY FEW MONTHS TO TAKE OFF ALL DRY HAIR
Reply:It really does depend on how dark your hair is. If you have really dark hair I would suggest going to a light brown color and then have highlights put in over the top. It will look more natural then straight blonde if your naturally dark. If you plan on doing it yourself, using an old fashion frosting cap is much easier to handle on your own then trying to put in foils.





I was a cosmetologist for a long time and it's hard to recommend someone to do it themselves at home. There are so many things that can go wrong. IF you are bound and determined to do it yourself, please have someone there with you to help.





IF you find that you get to an orange or yellowish color and can't get past it, remember the color wheel you learned about in art class. When you choose a color to put over it, you're looking for the opposite undertones to counteract the oranginess. (Blue - Orange, Violet- Yellow) if you mix them up, you can end up with green hair.





ALSO!!! IF you have already used SUN IN in your hair, I would NOT bleach your hair anytime soon. I would consider getting a Demi color to put over the top and forget bleaching for awhile.
Reply:my parents used to have a hairdressing business. and from having my hair dyed quite a few times. i would only recommend dying it once. then putting a high lightener on it 2 weeks later. other wise believe me. if you keep dying it will drop out and you will end up with baled patches.
