Bleaching hair or what most professionals would prefer to label as the lightening of hair is a delicate process. Who doesn’t love a platinum blonde? Those locks are eye-catching but the process to get there is not a simple one. If doing it at home, it requires a lot of planning and research before taking the leap and if getting it done professionally, one desires an expert who is well-versed in the process.

Before you take that first big step, you will want to start with hair that is dry and unwashed. Beginning the process in this state will enable your natural hair oils to assist in protecting your hair and reducing the risk of hair damage. Some experts go as far as to recommend applying oil to your hair and before the lightening process to allow adequate preparation for this process.

For this post, the hair bleach powder process will be reviewed. However, it is important to note that those seeking a full-on scalp bleach experience might fare better with an oil-based hair lightening process so that their scalp does not become irritated. Methods of actual application may vary.

hair bleach – before & after

Steps to Bleaching:

Below are 8 steps to bleach hair using hair powder bleach.

1. Apply protective clothing.
2. Section hair into four sections. The section will be from ear to ear with a part down the middle of the top of the head and then a part down the back into two additional sections.
3. Begin in the lower right-hand section at the back of the head and place a fine slice of foil beneath the hair, apply the bleaching chemical on the hair atop of the foil from mid-length to end, beginning approximately one centimeter or 1/3 of an inch from the root.
4. Mix the powder bleach mixture using the manufacturer’s instructions. The solution will be applied mid-length to the end.
5. Cover the hair with another thin layer of foil to seal in the heat and aid in the lightening process immediately following this application step.
6. Section the next line of hair in this quadrant and repeat the application process. Lines should be thinly divided to ensure adequate application and saturation. Laying hair over the foil, apply the bleach mixture, and cover it with another thin slice of foil.
7. Ensure that hair is adequately saturated in the product.
8. Once this quadrant is complete, move over to the second side of the back of the head and repeat the same process, applying the product to the hair in the same fashion and continue this process until all sections of hair are complete in all four sections.
