bleaching hair?

Question

I'm bleaching stripes in my hair tomorrow, should i use the salon foil to keep it moist or not?

im only doing 2 semi-thick sections, i'm not going to the salon for that. I just wanted to know if the foils worked...

Answer 1

First off, I would suggest going to the salon, if you just want two foils it wouldn't cost you that much, but if you chose to do this at home, the foil is there for two reasons. Number one, to seperate the hair from the hair that you are bleaching so that you don't get bleeding or spotting. Number two, once bleach dries out, it quits working, so the foil is there to keep the bleach moist. Bleach also works with heat, but heat from your head, not from a blow dryer. The foil then helps to keep the heat in. But again, I would suggest that you go to the salon. You can probably find a salon that will do it for 5.00 a foil, and since you want two, that would be ten bucks. Plus, then it will also guarantee that your stripes look good, and there is no bleeding or spotting. Also, one other tip, salon foil is reynolds wrap...Just so you know!

Answer 2

Always use a salon when working with bleach, you'll be glad that you did. With drug store bleaches there not strong enough if you have medium to dark hair. and if you have really long hair it can be difficult to get all even. And your hair will turn blonde but really brassy, a salon will have the right chemicals.For your hair to go to the right shade of your choice.

Answer 3

Go to the salon. I used home bleach kits until my hair melted together. Unless you want an Annie Lennox hairdo, go to the salon.
