I really want to bleach my hair punky white, how can I do it myself?

Question

I don't want it to go brassy yellow, it has a bit of perm left in it from a year ago and has highlights, I am dark blonde naturally, I don't want it to break off either! All the home kits claim to be ;lightest ash blonde' and come out medium orangey blonde!

Answer 1

It all depends on your natural hair colour, but you're likely to find that NONE of the home kits will take you that blonde. You really do need to go to a salon, or you'll damage your hair and/or scalp. possibly irrevocably.

Answer 2

The short answer is you can't do it at home and guarantee the results will come out exactly the way you picture, unless you have been to beauty school. Coloring hair is much more than picking a shade on the box and applying it on your hair. There's a lot of chemistry and color technique that goes into the bleaching process. If the terms "color wheel," "level" and "lift" don't ring a bell, then I would recommend to get this done by a professional rather than risk damaging your hair. Its especially important to go to a pro if you've had any other chemical processes or color applied to your hair.

Answer 3

For punk white hair I would highly recommend going to a salon. You run the risk of damaging your it since bleach is such a strong product. And you know once it is bleach damaged, the only thing you can do is cut it off so it can be back to normal.

Answer 4

you will need

BLEACH KIT
Manic Panic
Flash lightning Bleach Kit:

3.0 oz.Developer
Tint brush
Plastic Gloves
Mixing Tub

or you can get
MANIC PANIC Virgin Snow TONER
MANIC PANIC'S toner for bleached hair for the really white look(the bleach alone will not make your hair stay white. You need the toner for that.)You can also mix toner with other MANIC PANIC hair dyes to lighten them. DO NOT mix with reds, yellows, or oranges.

Answer 5

i wouldnt at home its really risky hair is such a fragile thing, i think that you should get it done but even if you do they will not let you do it in one sitting so i guess if your mind is still stuck on doing it yourself bleach it and then do it again a week later and then again untill the color u want shows up , just make sure you relax it in between those few weeks

Answer 6

Oohhh i hope you find an answer as i wanna go this colour

I would of though bleaching though? Maybe theres another way?

Id like to use Quianas advice but after looking at her baldlesss avator im quite scareed it didnt go too well

Answer 7

as an experience hairdresser I am saying do not do this
you will damage your hair badly, it still has some perm in it
and it already sounds over processed, it will break off, it will not go the colour you want either

Answer 8

please dont attempt this yourself. hairdressers no best when it comes to dying hair. there are so many people home-dying these days when they are advised not to, and they end up with a swollen face or hair falling out from an allergic reaction. hairdressers are professionals so let them loose on your hair, thats what they are there for. I would rather fork out the extra cash for a quality job rather than a bodge job of my own. hope this helps hun....bet itll look well shmexy! :) xx

Answer 9

You acutally have to strip your hair - by using Peroxide (the hairdresser type) You leave it on your hair until the desired effect has been achieved. Remember to put cream or petroluem jelly around your face before you do it to prevent burns.

Beware this is very harsh on your hair!!!

Answer 10

no no no plz dont even tho you've had a perm a year ago if you haven't had a trim then your ends will fry, trust me i've had years of DIY hairdo's and i;ve finally given up now lol, right im going to dye my hair nah not really lol.
