This is why I love KZbin. All these professional act like it’s impossible to go from dark to light. Will be doing this asap. Thank you

[@sarahbaltramaitis2155]

THANK YOU! Literally the only video I could find that fit exactly what I was doing I am about to bleach wash my hair right now and I have been box black dying my hair for like 2 years since the last time I color changed. It’s been about maybe 3 weeks give or take since I dyed my hair last so I’m very excited to see my results! I’ll be using 30 volume and punky brand bleach powder so everyone please wish me luck! 😭 Thank you so very much for the links love! Video was absolutely brilliant. I will post an update 🙏🏻😍

I havent even finished watching this video, but I can honestly say this is the most informative video I have found for bleach washing dark hair. THANK YOU!!

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to find a bleach wash hair tutorial of someone that started with dark hair. This helped me a bunch.

[@bunnylover2164]

You did a great job here, and very detailed explanation on what to do. I went to hairdressing school and know how tricky removing black box dye can be as well as damaging, you have kept it healthy. You have gorgeous thick hair, you are blessed.

[@mez2745]

such a great video!! I’m a dark brunette, I impulsively decided to put a copper box dye on and now I want to go bright red! this was so helpful thank you xx

[@taylorsheaffer8391]

Thank you so much! This is one of the best videos I have watched about bleach washes. Your hair looks so healthy and beautiful! 😊

[@lorinesigros]

That's so cool because I've never heard of this method before. I'm a brunette who wants to go back to blonde so I'll probably try that one.

[@Kara-Ellie]

I’ve had black hair dye hair for a few years now and I’ve tried colour b4 but literally my roots went red and the ends stayed black so I instantly thought my hair is broken and I will have to stay this colour lol but I’ve ordered the things u have said and I’m going give it a try as I wanna try to go a light brown! Thankyou so much for ur help! U have given me hope

[@Kara-Ellie]

I feel like colour before used to work when it first came out and now it I just doesn’t! Maybe they changed the formula. Black is the hardest colour to shift as well, there’s a lot of colour layering to get to black, there’s a lot of red in black dyes which is why it goes red/ginger when stripped and becomes a nightmare 🤣 and the different levels of colour buildup in the hair you soon end up with different shades of red! I hope you get the look you’re after in the end!

[@RJsBeauty]

@@Kara-Ellie so I’ve used it for the first time and it has gone red... but I’m hoping when I do it again next week it will go lighter and keep going lighter the more I do it xx

[@autumnbehm3730]

Thank you so much for this video, I did a round of color remover and a bleach wash today!

[@babycakes8434]

I immediately noticed your roots. I am not a hairdresser, but you could do root tap with darker toner, to color your roots so they look natural. There are a lot of videos abt root tap on YT. Great job with figuring out your technique. Your hair color looks great. I had Fenola hair conditioner, I liked the results but hated the chemical stench. I was mixing it with other stuff to kill the bad smell.

[@KatieShep1722]

Perfect video for me! I've also only used the same colour by garnier! Xx

[@JaneSmith0709]

This was very helpful, thank you. I was thinking bleach baths were the way to go. I have a year of box dye on my hair so I think I'll do a vitamin C stripping first to remove the bulk of the dye and then do the bleach baths once a week until I reach my desired level. You were a big help in figuring out a routine, thanks again.

[@Kara-Ellie]

Good luck on your hair journey 💕

So is it safe 1x a week?

[@Kara-Ellie]

@@belladiaz1718 yeah absolutely, just keep watch on your hair, you’ll know if it can’t take another bleach wash or needs more time. Look out for stringy ends that pull off like gum.

[@destinykirkland9127]

No sense to do the vitamin c wash. It will only weaken the hair prior to the bleach wash. Just dont wash for 7 -10

I wish I found this earlier I just dyed my hair 3 times it’s still orange and damaged from the 3 sessions.. thank you for making this video

Hey girl. I've dyed my hair black 7 times with garnier nutrisse. I just bought the bleach london bleach & one medium golden brown & one natural brown. I went from black to a beautiful medium brown. No black in my hair at all! And all in one night.

[@Megan6772]

did you do a bleach bath & then dye it brown in the same night?

[@kittydollkori]

Thank you for all the useful info

[@evelynnjames7362]

When my hair was Marlyin blonde as my hair grew I would just touch the roots with a ash blonde and then would wet my hair and drag through sections to give some dimension and then finally mix in throughout all my hair as a toner... Its always looked better than going to salon for a touch up!... Am doing a bleach bath as I write this so I guess my toner deal wash kind of like a toner bath lol! Thanks .

[@ChelseaHogarth]

Needed this been black for years and wanted to go light again but no strippers work so will give this thank you ❤

[@irishclaire996]

So helpful thank you!

[@JisooTurtleRabbitt]

I'm trying to remove old black dye out so I can put a deep burgundy over it, the bleach bath sounds the best way to go, I've used colour remover before and it did nothing but fried it lol

[@Kara-Ellie]

Colour removers are hit and miss for me too! I swear they were better years ago. Gave up on those

[@JisooTurtleRabbitt]

@@Kara-Ellie I did the bleach bath and it seemed like it worked but then I mustn’t have got all the black out completely because I have a band of black around my head, burgandy roots and ends 😂 I’m going to start again and stick with an ash to calm down the red lol after seeing myself with red tones I can already tell it’s not a good match with my skin, I’m going to try to a mushroom brown uhhh such a mission to go from black to brown 😂 I wish I never did the burgandy daaaam haha

[@aliciareid6722]

Omg thankyou I've been tryin to strip the black out of my hair for almost a year 😩

[@fightthefairy]

I find it so hard to find that sort of salon bleach in the UK. I'm about to use Pureplex bleach to bleach wash my two applications of black box dye. I only want to go to copper so I'm hoping this won't be too difficult. Getting an even base is the hardest part for me.

[@kats.1933]

Hey thanks so much for your video really helpful and you look gorgeous 😄 Did you tone your hair in between bleach baths or just let it be until you do it next week? I really want to try this but my hair is naturally very dark brown and i'm afraid it will turn orange after the bleach bath and i'll be too afraid to show up in public lol

[@Kara-Ellie]

I would use one of those hair dyes between each bleach bath just hoping it would grab enough to not need another bleach bath! But I’m impatient! It’s best to leave it alone between the bleach baths really 💕

[@patticakesintexas]

Thank you for sharing that video. Your hair looks really nice. I think you did a good job. What are you going to do to upkeep it when your roots grow out? Do you think it's going to be hard to upkeep?

[@Kara-Ellie]

Thank you! But I changed it since! I’m growing out my natural colour which is on my newer videos 🤣 but I was putting bleach London no bleach bleach on my roots to lift a couple shades. Then going over with the olia blonde box colour in this video, as you can tell it’s high maintenance and not something I wanted to keep up in lockdown! But I’m so glad I found these products for next year when I mess around again with blonde 👀🤣

[@angelapavlovska9870]

Hello Just wanted to ask Did u previously dye your hair with a permanent color ? Will a bleach bath work on a permanent haircolor?

[@gemmajohn2758]

how long did you leave it on for before washing it out? xx

[@juancarlossepulvedazamora7293]

How is this going for you now? Has it somehow worsened with the passing of time? Very interested in trying it out, but I'm afraid of possible damage it could have mid to long term. Anyways, thanks in advance. Very useful vid.

[@Kara-Ellie]

I have two sections of damage at the front but these are the bits that get straightened when I have my hair up, so that is adding to the damage!

[@verrau6176]

Any tips? Impulsively dyed my hair with dark brown box dye after having Carmel/dark blonde hair - now I want it back 😂 lol

[@Orangecat-np3xy]

What happened? Did ya did it or no?

[@Kara-Ellie]

Try a bleach wash or two over a couple of weeks, if not get some anti dandruff shampoo, it strips colour more over time, thing about blonde dye under dark it always tries its best to creep back through! So if you don’t wanna use bleach keep washing it!

[@SoftWhispers7]

will be praying for you love!!!

Hi do you put the bleach bath on the roots? I put a very dark blonde semi over grown out roots and highlighted hair about 4 weeks. It’s come out a bit but way darker than I was. I want my blonde back. I’m worried my roots will mess up as they are dark probably level 6.

[@Kara-Ellie]

It will deffo lighten your roots up too, also it’s hard to avoid the roots when doing this as it foams up like a shampoo, sounds like you want to keep darker roots?

Would you please mind giving me your exact measurements of the mixture for the bleach bath. That would help me so much.

Have a look at the video I put in the description, She shows you when she’s making it. There’s no measurements as such, it depends on how much you need for your hair, have a look at her video as it’s about looking for the right consistency 💕

Can I use the same Igora from Schwarzkopf powder also and not this Matrix thing? I'm little confused why u use two different brands when Igora has both powder and developer?

[@melinasinopidis3978]

Hi there I have black hair with highlights put in. Will a bleach bath wash away highlights done from bleach?

[@Kara-Ellie]

It will more than likely make them even lighter, it should lift the highlights you have even further but that’s not to say it will be a nice colour after, they may need toning still and may need toning a different shade to the rest of your hair if you’re doing a full head bleach wash? Is your goal one colour or still highlighted?

[@cyanaura4444]

Is that 40 volume?

[@shereeobrien2817]

I dyed my hair a dark brown, and want to get back to my natural light brown will this help??

Have you tried a colour remover? How many times have you died it darker? Maybe a remover will help as you run the risk of going too light / orange with bleach. You would want it in for only moments

You can pay for KZbin premium if you don’t want ads. You are getting free hair tips and advice off her and you are not forced to watch. Besides, it’s KZbins policy not hers. 😂

[@jesscantle7026]

Wet, dry or greasy hair??

[@Kara-Ellie]

Wet but not dripping otherwise It’ll dilute the bleach further. Wet the whole head of hair and then wring out well. And bleaching is best on slightly greasier hair, but not overly greasy! The natural oils help protect the scalp from bleach and freshly washed hair strips oils.

4 week is not fast
