Follow the safety instructions on your bleach kit in the event that you accidentally get any bleach product onto your skin. Disposable gloves can be found at any store selling cleaning supplies.
Any material will work, as long as you don’t mind it getting bleached. Old T-shirts and linens are also great options.
If you have longer hair, you might want to use more bleach, while individuals with shorter hair might want to use less. See how much bleach mixture you have after stirring 2 packets into the developer, and go from there. Since the ombré look is gradual, you only want to bleach the lower sections of your hair.
Try to keep your bleach application as smooth and consistent as possible. This will lead to a smoother and more consistent ombré. Feel free to bleach a larger section of hair if you’d like your ombré to be less gradual.
Try to avoid getting excess bleach mixture on your scalp, as this can irritate the skin.
Don’t keep the bleach on for longer than the specified time. Someone with brown hair will probably need to keep the bleach product in for longer than an individual with blonde hair would.
When wet, your bleached hair will look significantly darker than its true shade.
Read the label on the conditioner to see if the product needs to sit in your hair for a certain amount of time.
If you bleach your hair multiple times in 1 sitting, your hair could end up breaking and splitting.
Whenever you work with bleach, make sure that you’re protecting your skin and workspace with old white towels or rags.
This layer of bleach depends on the ombré pattern that you’re going for. If you’d prefer a more drastic transition, bleach the lower half of your hair instead.
If your hair is lighter, you might reach your desired color sooner.
Never touch hair bleach with your bare hands, as you could end up irritating and hurting your skin.
Double check on the product label to see if you need to leave the conditioner in for a certain amount of time.
Don’t be alarmed if your hair has a slightly purple tint. This is a normal side effect of using this type of shampoo. Silver/purple shampoo uses the principles of the color wheel to bring out the lightness of your hair while preventing brassy tones. Continue using this type of shampoo in the coming weeks to maintain your bleached hair.
