People use a bleach bath when they want a new hair color and need to get a few shades lighter to achieve that color. Since a bleach bath is gentle you can use it repeatedly and with greater frequency than traditional bleach, every couple of days.

Regular Bleaching

Traditional hair bleach is meant to get to extremely light shades of blond or platinum. Bleaching is also popular because it lets funky colors, like purple or red, show up better on your hair.

Bleach-blond is a classic chic look but uses harsh chemicals that can cause considerable damage to hair. Because of this, many are choosing other options such as bleach baths to lighten their hair.

You can bleach your hair repeatedly, but most hairdressers recommend giving your hair quite a bit of time to recover between treatments. At a minimum, you’ll want to wait 2-3 weeks to bleach your hair again, but 8-10 weeks is ideal.

Soap Cap on red hair

This technique isn’t only for those who want blonde hair: it can be used to make red tones become more orange, closer to natural red hair.

To do that, you will need:

• 30 volume hydrogen peroxide (90 ml);
• 90 ml of shampoo.

How to:

Divide your dry and unwashed hair into sections. Apply the mixture, massaging well. Let it stay for 10 to 30 minutes, or until you notice it’s reached the right tone.

Soap Cap in dark or black hair

Black or darker hair can reach a medium brown after the first Soap Cap. However, you may need to neutralize the color later. In this case, you can use neutral or moisturizing shampoo, depending on your hair.

Bleach Bath on blonde hair

Bleach Bath can also be used on blonde or light-colored hair, to achieve a platinum effect. You will need:

• 20g of blue powder bleach;
• 40ml of neutralizing or anti-yellow shampoo;
• 20ml of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide;
• 20ml of water or liquid Bepanthen.
