BLEACHING ROOTS AT HOME using BLONDE ME SCHWARZKOPF

[@rossy7385]

You really need to ensure you fully saturate the hair when applying bleach. Also the ice toner is designed to work on a level 10 which you weren’t at, and adding the bonding mask just dilutes it further.

[@ArankA006]

Yup, fully saturated this would've been alright in one bleach. The 20 volume works fine for her hairlevel, and would even lift a little cooler than 30 would. This bleach is amazing

[@rossy7385]

@@ArankA006 yeah agreed. Higher volume just blows the cuticle and lifts warmer than say how a 20 vol would lift. Low and slow is best IMO :)

[@youparejo]

@@rossy7385 I've always been advised to take a 30 volume. But apparently 20 can do the work and does less damage? Is that true?

[@gkminnie]

When putting the bleach on I would recommend putting it on a bit thicker as needs to be fully saturated and then put foils in between or wrap hair in plastic after to keep heat in so bleach doesn’t dry out, hope that helps I’ve been doing my dark brown roots for over a year now

[@sophiehannah_]

Yes someone else said to saturate my hair too! Thank you! I'm not sure I could do the foils myself, it was tricky already. Maybe if I had help. Oh yes I should have wrapped my head in cling film

Tip for bleach that is drying out in the hair after application: - spritz some water (from a spray bottle) over it, cover with shower cap to keep warm and moist - turn on the shower in the bathroom and hang out in there like your in a steam room This will rehydrate/reactivate the bleach and speed of the processing time really nicely. I particularly like the steam from the shower since it gets a nice, more even lift. Bleach loves hot, humid, & moist... like a tropical hot day lol! Reapplying bleach may not be as effective since you are just layering fresher bleach over crusty bleach rather than rehydrating the bleach you already got on there.

[@pheurbelvls3710]

You’re very brave, I’m glad it turned out so well.💚💚

[@kazhastell1099]

It looks lovely 😊 my only advice would be when bleaching your hair put it in like a shower cap then it won’t dry out and the heat helps it process quicker x

[@sophiehannah_]

I don't know why I didn't think of this!

[@k11907]

For bleaching you always need to use a cap or a bag over you head. Because the heat from your head would help with bleaching and would bleach further from the roots. And always need to saturate with more bleach.

[@maazbriazkhamisani]

Omggg ! it looks awesome!! great work!

[@CraftsBayou]

The 30 volume would've been better because the Olaplex knocks that down to a 20 volume. But you made it work!

[@gerardmendez7538]

This gives me hope to bleach my roots correctly today hahah (luckily I have to go from dark brown to orange and not platinum blonde). By the way, gorgeous result on you, good work!

[@Sassygirladventures]

Turned out so good! I literally just did the same process today & had the stubborn band near the top also. Managed to get most of the banding out thankfully. Great video for those who may have stubborn banding also 🙂

[@elleydoll]

Looks good! Your blue and green dying videos helped! 😃😃 I have a picture on my Instagram 🙂🙂

[@123willjb123]

If you are to do this again - unless you use foils between the sections then i would up the developer a little to inbetween 20-30 vol - i think it needed a bit of heat to incubate and help with the lift. but this looks amazing!! i adore the colour

[@sophiehannah_]

Yeah I was a little scared to use a higher developer, I opted for low and slow for less damage, but I do think maybe a higher one would have worked better. I don't think I would have been able to have done foils by myself haha! So hard already! Thank you!

[@123willjb123]

@@sophiehannah_ Not a problem!! i understand completely, i think just slapping a piece of foil between the sections would definitely help for the future - but it still came out great!!

[@ayem92]

I agree with everyone else. To go as light as you wanted from very dark brown, I would've bleached twice with a higher vol developer, but used quite a bit more (you want is saturated) and a haircap over the top to keep it moist and warm. It looks awesome though!

[@sophiehannah_]

Thank you!! I was a bit scared to use a higher developer! But I do agree maybe next time it will lift better. Thank you!!

[@kamosleh]

Also a bleach bath may be more effective for removing old colour/toner on the ends. Dilute a bleach mixture (like the one you had with 20vol) with shampoo - something like bleach : shampoo 1:1 or 1:1.5. Then apply it quickly all over the ends or wherever you want to remove colour. Basically its like shampooing your hair with a bleach - shampoo mixture. You can leave it on for 20 min but sometimes it can remove the colour much quicker like 5-10 min.

[@kamosleh]

Then wash it out with regular shampoo obvs lol.... Then tone your hair as normal, condition/hair treatment, and hopefully it will be more even! Just bear in mind the bleach bathed hair will be extra porous so likely won't need much toner processing time at all.

[@anaj9346]

Omg!! I have the exact same products, EXACTLY, all of them. AND I had blue hair and have the same blue, greenish, grey hair you have, plus same length roots! This is insane 🤯. Can't wait to see the results 🥰💜💫

[@125Mcmac]

Love it, but also loved the dark roots. Maybe a bit more. 🙈 and love that your hair is getting longer 😍

[@averi570]

Try mixing shampoo and vitamin c tablets to lift the color next time. I have platinum hair and I like to put fun colors in it sometimes so my stylist does that and it always takes them right out.

[@sophiehannah_]

I've tried that technique before and it never fully lifts out the colour for me :( great it works for your hair though!

[@averi570]

@@sophiehannah_ I think I just get lucky a lot of the time lol I'm sorry it doesn't work for you! :(

[@phyllbtstrrbls]

Vitamin-C damaging the hair more, dont do it! Bleach bath with maximum 20 volume will damaging less and it will does a way better job! Another thing: you dont have to add Olaplex for Blondme because it contains plex! After bleaching use a protein mask to repair the hair beacuse bleach is taking off it too.

[@pixieeames9105]

Think it would’ve taken better the first time if you used foils or a cap to stop it drying out, it works quicker if you keep it moist and warm😁 you still did an amazing job though!💕💕

[@sophiehannah_]

Yes I don't know why I didn't think of a cap - if there's a next time I will do that. I think foils might be tricky for me to do

[@pixieeames9105]

Caps are definitely easier! I use one everytime I do my roots and it works so much better and always lifts lighter than if I don’t use one, I hope there’s a next time I’m so impressed with how well you did!!

[@sarahwalsh1345]

I section off hair and time every section... starting at front as its easiest to wash out without getting unprocessed bleach wet at the back..... when im doing banding, i set about 20 mins break until i touch the scalp, then start total 50min per section until wash out.... i use the blonde me range as i find adding olaplex is totally unessesary as it already has bond enforcement and affects process time by adding olaplex.... but i do use olaplex treatment after .... also take into consideration of how warm the house is and how long to process for.... warmer temperatures lift faster but in winter, it really slows process down 🙂

[@JennMartinello]

Girllll!!! Baking soda and clarifying shampoo with a cap and beanie or turbie twist for heat will remove that color no damage!!! You can repeat a few times if needed. When you get to a all over blonde a nice soap cap then & tone & protein fill & seal w / trim!!! 💯💫💋💝😎👌Promise!

[@jodiesanderson2116]

I feel like I'm watching myself over the last few weeks 😂 I lifted red out my hair, thought a toner would sort it, wasn't light enough so had to go in with bleach then tone again. Nearly there now, definitely a cheaper but much slower process than the salon. Thank goodness I've got nowhere to be!

[@Cristianopankwn]

Very nice!i think this is your best colour!when i bleach my hair at home i use for toner koleston 12,81 with a bit of purple or blue it depends on the lift!!of course i am not a professional,too...🥰😘

You gave a hard try, and the final result is pretty good! But yeap, bleaching to the desired level is a struggle in hair salons, let alone in home. 😣 I have the same stubborn brassy tones problem as you, so i totally feel you...

[@sophiehannah_]

[@mervisa89]

Dear, that bleach doesn't need the olaplex, if you don't pour it on it it will work better, also do two bleach rounds if you need, the instructions say 1 cup of powder:2 of developer, works better. When all the bleaching work is fine then tone it and then use the olaplex if you feel the need. Stay safe and have a big hug xx

[@hibernatingmummabear]

I agree, adding olaplex to bleach lessens the strength, bleach will only lift to certain point then stops lifting. I'd say go for 9% next time and do an olaplex treatment after all the lifting and toning is done.

This video is so helpful to me! Think I'm going to have to do my roots myself (things are not opening back up yet in Ireland 😭) I used to do my roots myself for years but I've been going to the same hairdresser for the last 3 years and I've been trying to decide what bleach to use. I always used a 30 developer tho.

[@sophiehannah_]

Ah so glad you found the video helpful! Oh no really?! If you feel brave then go for it. Use Olaplex and get all the hair treatments for after!

[@ElizabethKeenan]

@@sophiehannah_ yeah think I'll get a few treatments for sure. I always used a loreal one but I've seen a load of good reviews about Schwarzkopf!

[@heidigunn8171]

You don't need olaplex when using blondme ... especially with 20 volume olaplex slows down the process which is why it was still brassy! Still looks lovely tho! I put blondme on my hair with 20 vol and leave it for an hour and a half and it comes out lovely 😍

[@angelinebiswas7611]

You should’ve saturated it much more this would’ve normally gone much lighter with blondme as long as you’re heavily saturation it does lift to a yellow white blonde. Maybe next time pop a cap on the head so it doesn’t dry out because it stops processing once it dries out. Or do a quick bleach wash for 10-15 min amd that orange root would’ve busted through and also removed a lot of the green. Either way babe looks good!

[@jenniferfaulkner4640]

A bleach bath would have helped wonders and got more the green out plus it’s not as harsh as just bleaching cause shampoo dilutes it plus u can still add lil olaplex to bleach bath mixture. Olaplex is good and other bond boosters but they do lower the developer down some so with using 20vol and since using blondme with bonding agent in it u could of skipped adding olaplex so it’s doesn’t lower volume of developer. This is what I’ve been told and have learned from professional. Plus as everyone says better saturated is good and plastic bag or shower cap. The person who gave advice to turn shower on hot and use bathroom as steam room while shower cap on is good ideal I will have try myself lol.

[@heatherhowe351]

I've found the hardest bit is knowing when exactly to rinse off.

[@shannonfinn4645]

Awesome! You just need smaller sections and better saturation next time!

[@thinkforyourself828]

Don't use Olaplex with Schwarzkopf!!! It has it own bond protection. You're just weakening the lift.

How long in total did you leave it on? i know some hair developers faster than others etc. but wasn't sure how long you left it. i always put cling film over my head to help heat the mixture up on my head. if hair is ginger use a more blue toner, if yellow use a purple toner.

[@sophiehannah_]

It took me 30-40 mins to apply and left on for an hour. So for me I felt like that was long! And didn't wanna cause breakage. Yes! I think that's why the steel blue toner at the end made the most difference
