White blonde transformation: How to bleach long roots safely to platinum

Hey everyone! here is an instructional video for Hairstylists who are struggling to learn how to deal with roots longer than 1' when doing a bleach root!
we all have that client who wants a bleach root but doesn't come in every 6-8 weeks, so when she does come in, she has several inches of root to deal with. this kind of grow out can cause orange banding, missed areas, and an uneven lift.
ill take you through my process to achieve an even lift!
Bleach is Schwarzkopf BlondMe +7 volume
Toner is Vibrance (9,5-1 + 9,5-5 + 6 volume)
I hope you guys like and subscribe!!

You are seriously my fav you tuber and I just found you. I do a lot of hair from braiding, dying, trimming, sewing, quick weaves etc. you are detailed and u don’t zoom through your videos. You show everything, every angle and give every detail. That’s the best

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me!!

[@Eli-pm1pi]

Thanks to your videos I used less vol on my hair despite the info I got from other youtubers and websites, and it totally worked out! Even for my bleach wash I only used 7 vol, which obviously was even less than 7 since diluted, and it worked well! I had some more orangy spots from my previous bleaching session and put 20 vol on that and can definitely feel that it is more damaged. So i'm really happy I didn't do the bleach wash with the often recommend 20 vol on my entire head. That is really just thanks to you! I love my new purely white blonde hair, that is in far better condition than expected. :p

​@Bobby Hair Studio I watched all your videos for blonde hair and they are amazing. I went to my hairdresser today with 2 inch dark natural roots, armed with knowledge from your videos, and asked for my roots to be bleached the way you did them here. Showed her the process, explained it myself (since I watched it a few times).... but she insisted my roots weren't as long as shown here and that my hair would be even. I tried telling her that I would end up with hot roots and that the rest of them wouldn't lighten enough. She insisted it would be fine and that I definitelydo NOT need foils. Then when she already started bleaching them she said "Well, maybe they won't lift to the level the rest of your hair is". Not to mention I go for a cool toner at the end always (not ashy, pearly). I think no-one here will be surprised that I've come out of the salon with orangish-yellow longer roots, in some places 1/2 inch hot roots, and now I wonder - is this salvageable? She didn't want to use foils *at all*, so the beach was just drying out on my head. Obviously, I can't go back in with bleach soon because I want my hair to stay as healthy as possible, and I might have to find someone else to fix it, but can this be fixed? Any pointers? Sorry for the longer message.

[@AnnaConstantinova]

Thank you!

[@Familyharo4jesus]

Love it when can you do my hair ?

[@clipinqueen]

Wow! What a well-explained video for bleaching. I wonder what your take is on bleaching roots? Do you find it 'easier' to not overlap on extended roots or is it easier on month-old roots? It almost seems safer to bleach long dark roots than to just have the tiny space of short roots. Thanks again!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

After this much time with bleach roots, I don’t find either one difficult, I just don’t do roots under an inch long!

[@oongabragettey]

Schwarzkopf (and other brands) has a porosity equalizer (spray primer) - do you ever use one? I feel like that would be helpful on those long, really light processes

[@allie8443]

This is great info. Do you add 6 volume developer to your toner? Also, I can’t find the 9.5-5 color anywhere? What’s the actual name?

[@ayydrean]

hello! amazing video i really loved the result💗did you bleach her overgrown roots only one time? i had to bleach my mom's hair 2 times with 30 vol developer to get rid of all the yellow and then i was able to apply toner but i feel like it is more damaging that way😭

[@BobbyHairStudio]

yes i only need to bleach once! i go low and slow. blondme and 20 vol will lift anyone from level 2-6 and a 7vol will lift level 7-9

[@NicquiMadden]

So - quick question: The foils at the back had been on for an hour and a half prior to completing the roots at the front and then the back?

[@marlenelyles1495]

Can you tell me why u use bleach with a volume and a toner with a volume? Are you bleaching the hair then toning the roots?

[@lolasiebert8948]

Your fantastic 💯

[@jonathanspencer8628]

Fabulous!🤓

[@lolasiebert8948]

Also do I use a 30 volume on hair level 7 or 6 more like a 6 level! Please will you send me the toner formula you used xxx💯 stunning

[@sandeefithian5701]

Beautiful how much does this cost im in same situation with growth

[@waterdragon5418]

Lay person question: I am hearing about breakage if overlapping beyond line of previous bleach and its worse with 4 inches of regrowth vs 2 inches, Why?

[@kylamiller2330]

Won't the foils in the back need to be pulled out after being in the foils for so long? Does the bleach stop working? Do you use a lower developer? I didnt know you can leave foils in for an hour and a half? Looks amazing! Just curious because I thought you would need to spray the back with water or rinse them out befor doing the roots?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

you can either pull them out, or wait for the bleach to dry out or level your developers! any of these options work!

[@NicquiMadden]

Your work is immaculate! If you don't mind me asking - which foils do you use?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you!! The colourful foils are Framar, silver ones are always Framar or Babyliss and the bobby pin ones are Foilme

@@mariatashman6696 I think she’s giving you a range, and you can create the formula from things she uses in the 9. range.

[@Janthefan]

Hey! How much would you have charged regularly for a normal root-touch up vs this one?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

A regular root touch up for a bleach out is $150-160cad.

[@lysapealove7453]

After you did all foils how long did you wait till you did root double checking part and after double checking how much longer?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I Never time my lightener. It’s not like a colour formulation that needs 45 mins of processing and then it’s done. Lightener is just something I check on every few minutes until it’s the desired level of lift

[@cyberspelunker1980]

So it’s not really damage free if those of us with darker hair still need 20 volume.

[@georgiarae2912]

Great video but I’m very confused on why you spent all the time and charged for a color correction when you say later in the video that you could just apply it all at once and it would lift even since her roots are very light? Genuinely curious

[@BobbyHairStudio]

It would still be a colour correction in that case as well because of how long the roots are. There are more steps involved in doing larger roots like this than doing the typical 1/2-2/3 inch that are included in a standard bleach root touch up.

[@anamiranda6042]

Do you think adding conditioner to the previously lightened hair would help to avoid overlapping with a service like this??

[@BobbyHairStudio]

It can, but it’s something I have never tried

[@bl6797]

Beth Minardi in new York does the conditioner on previously lightened or colored hair, to lessen the damage in case of overlapping.

[@Adrianlupita67]

I am a natural level 2, and have been bleaching my hair to a level 9/10. I use the same bleach as you and Wella permanent color. It takes me about 30min to apply bleach on roots then let it sit for 45min. I have SO MUCH breakage. I have lost 12 in of length in the past 6 months. Is this just the reality of being blonde when you’re naturally level 2. Will my hair just never grow? Any suggestions please I love being blonde but I miss my hair being down to my hips and now it’s at my shoulders 🥺🥺🥺

[@Adrianlupita67]

Also I use 20vol in the back of my head since I start there, then 30 vol in the front to help it catch up

[@annas7892]

you might be overlapping with highlighted hair. What level of bleach do you use? When i do my own hair i dont have any breakage but as soon as i go for highlights to the salon that's it - i get so many flyaways from overlapped hair that it is just sad.

[@worldwindow8133]

So you just skip the toner part we all was waiting and you said you forget which one you used? Can you tell us the toner formula you used?

[@chloestalzer]

how long did u have all the foils in? looks gorg!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I think this was 1.5 hours

[@Sammy12346]

Something that I don’t understand is how the very first foils were put in an hour and 45 mins before the last foil were put in. How can the hair in the first foils take being processed for like 3 hours?

[@marbledway]

Same, I wish she or anyone answered because I really want to know

What a problem 8.5 ??

[@msmilagonzalez]

Real snow queen. You right they always do too much of a cool blonde which is too unnatural and boring. Like this is good and natural and very super nice.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you!

[@ClaudiaJuliet]

Did you have to use toner on the roots?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Most of the time yes! If I manage to get a lift that’s perfect that matches the rest of her hair (if she doesn’t have old toner staining or purple shampoo staining) then I can use just purple shampoo

[@PNWdays]

Wish she was where I live :(

[@BobbyHairStudio]

awee hahah thanks

[@juliajoseph5097]

Try to cut your foils in half. You save so much foil that way. I try to cut my foils to the amount of regrowth.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Yes!! I love that! Less waste and faster application

[@JoseGarcia-kh7we]

loved the application but watching you over extend your self going back and forth to your color trolly was killing me, move It right next to you

[@oongabragettey]

Yes!!! I want to attach the color bowl to my neck, like a trough, so I have it right there.

[@DJbadBOY007]

Those ends were totally diffetent color than the new growth. Those mid to ends were warm while new growth was completely cool. For the amount you charged and then calling it color correcting, that should have been all platinum blonde cool. Not warm.

[@cynthialandis4263]

Why do people bleach their hair in the first place when they know eventually it's going to break

[@Daysiale]

I can't stand point cutting lol love blunt cuts lol every stylist is different lol

[@youalreadyknow35]

Whilst I understand that if there is extra hours put into it you need to charge for those hours BUT charging this as a colour correction is just daylight robbery. There is little to no correcting needing to be done here, no problem solving/trial and error, this client literally has the dream root colour to take to platinum blonde. I mean how can you be using a 7vol and call it a colour correction. Sorry that’s just wrong to charge her that.

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

While I appreciate you explaining everything the way that you did, was it really necessary to shame your client for waiting so long before she came in? There's something called a pandemic going on after all.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I wasn’t shaming at all. Client shaming is different than stating she hadn’t been in for a while.

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

@@BobbyHairStudio it was the way that you said it. Maybe that's just your usual tone, but it definitely comes across as you being very annoyed. These past two years have been difficult enough to navigate without being irritated over a little extra hair growth.

[@oongabragettey]

Ya, it was the tone, for sure! I caught that! Ouch! Like sure, I get it though, charge more.
