From Brown to Platinum Blonde

Now before we even begin with the steps to getting the choice of hair color you want, let me make one thing clear. It doesn't matter what your current hair color is - black, red, brown, or any other color, you can't do without bleaching. You will have to bleach your hair in order to get them to look and shine like natural platinum blonde color.

• Purchase lightening bleach that has 20 or 30 volume developer. Make sure to stay away from the 40 volume developer as it can be harmful enough to melt your hair.
• Wear your gloves and in a bowl, combine the bleach with the volume developer. Use a hair brush to mix.
• Sit in a well-ventilated room and wear old clothes that you don't mind getting stained. Prepare slightly more bleach so that you don't run out of it in the middle.
• If you are not confident that you can reach the hair strands in the back, have someone help you out. Make 8-10 sections of hair and apply the bleach mixture from the roots till the ends.
• Once all the sections are properly applied, use a shower cap to cover your hair for at least 30 minutes.
• When the time is up, wash the bleach out, shampoo normally, and use a deep conditioner immediately. This will help induce moisture into your hair.
• If your hair is dark brown, then you might have to repeat the process again to get the right color tone. Wait for minimum 2 weeks before you repeat the process.
• Depending on how many times you have to bleach your hair, 2 or 3, you will have to deep condition hair extensively or else they may turn dry and unhealthy.
• If after repeated bleaching, your hair turns to a yellowish-blonde instead of platinum blonde, use a blue based toner to remove the yellow color.
