How Do I Bleach Hair?

Answer:
So, you have decided to see if blondes really do have

more fun? Or maybe you need to lighten your dark hair before you can change to a different color. Bleaching can look great if it is done right, however, it is not without risks.

Before you begin, think it over. Make sure you do some research, as there is a danger of damaging your hair or the result looking bad. It might be a good idea to experiment with some photo editing software before beginning. It is always safer to do this procedure in a salon, but it can be done at home. If you have naturally dark hair, bleaching is more challenging, and it may require more treatments, which increases the risk of damage. Now that you know the risks and are ready to get started, it is time to begin. Make sure that you select a high quality hair bleaching product. This is not the time to scrimp. The larger, well established brands have been tested by millions, and will be safer to use. There are two types of bleaches: off the scalp and on the scalp. Off the scalp bleaches are intended for highlights only, and are not safe to use on your scalp. On the scalp bleaches are safe to use to bleach all of your hair. Then, simply follow the instructions on the bottle, but make sure you wash your hair the night before and leave the conditioner in for a half hour.
