[@briannatorres7231]

Currently enrolled in beauty school and I just want to set the record straight for anybody watching this that it actually is NOT recommended to come into the salon with hopes of bleaching your hair with fresh clean hair. The reason you don’t want to wash your hair before coming in for the any lightning processing is because the bleach can actually burn tour scalp from the heat that your body creates. The oils and dirt build up in your hair is actually protecting you from damaging your scalp. You don’t have to listen to me but please do your research first before listening to one video on the matter.

[@briannatorres7231]

But no shade girl, cause clearly it’s working for you 💗

[@kr9529]

I have really dry wavy hair and I recently got my hair re dyed and my stylist literally tore my hair with her brush and was so rough. Then after my hair was freshly bleached, she took a regular towel and rubbed it so harshly over my hair (I cringed). Then once I was done at the wash station she ripped through my hair again with her comb (on freshly bleached delicate hair) and put NO product or heat protectant on before roughly dragging her brush through my hair and blow drying it. My curls are gonna hate me next wash day it was so bad... IM LITERALLY SO UPSET I feel like my hair is ruined 🥲

[@nataliavalentine1459]

[@merceee.v]

They blowdried my hair tight and in direct heat right after bleaching. I'm so sorry curls, they did you dirty. I must have been out of my mind for letting them do it.

What about purple shampoo on blond hair? My hair color is similar to yours (dark roots and very highlighted ends) and if I don’t use purple shampoo I get orange soooo quickly. Does the aceda shampoo and conditioner prevent that so purple shampoo isn’t needed?

[@moniquepresutti6251]

Does the protein treatment or oloplex count as the deep conditioner once a week or are they in addition to?

[@GreySanz]

[@celinalaidi6038]

And what abt people that wants just balayage or an ombré ?

[@sunmoonasmr6082]

so basically: Before the appointment make sure to wash your with a protein shampoo and or conditioner to prep it? then a hairstyle to make it easier for the person bleaching the hair. During the appointment after the bleaching process is done immediately do either the protein or olaplex treatment. then to maintain your hair only use shampoo/conditioner for colored hair, and use the olaplex or protein thing again?

[@albatross7327]

Could you do a full video on olaplex?? I'd love in depth info on it from you!

She clearly knows what she’s talking about though....

[@TheHeroSaver]

I think as long as it's not washed same day as going to get it done?

[@ettatheempriss9564]

Essentially, your optimal outcome will be produced from a freshly cleansed canvas. Lightening is a chemical process. With the wide range of chemicals and ingredients in hair products, you are risking an unpredictable chemical reaction. This could cause more damage, unexpected tones and uneven results. However, you're not wrong about a protective layer of 'grease'. Coconut oil is the solution! Clean hair and smother it in coconut oil. Over night is ideal for saturation but not always realistic. Coconut will help reduce damage, protect your scalp, and doesn't interfere with the lightening. I add it straight to my mixture as well. I mix it with the bleach first, then add developer. It bonds molecularly best this way. This does not apply to color. Bleach only. Hope your outcome exceeds expectations!!!

[@vmhuizar]

I don’t know what it is about the bleach my hair dresser uses, but it somehow makes my hair more curly and my curls much tighter and she leaves the bleach on for over an hour and gets me to a platinum blonde.

[@millieroman2017]

I started going to a new hair dresser for the last 10 months or so, and whatever bleach she's using on me, gets my skin really itchy! Mostly my hands, but a little bit almost everywhere. And my face and hands turn red until about an hour after she rinses it off. When i was going to another stylist years ago, that never happened. It seems like im allergic to some ingredient. But i really like this new stylist so i put up with it for the day.

[@blueriverbane69]

It was so bad that the last time I tried going to get my hair colored at the salon2 years ago the past year or maybe a longer, the beautician told me NO! She told me if I touch my hair with one more harsh chemical that it would literally fall off.. After that I committed to leaving my hair alone letting it regrow and now my curls are back and beautiful... Problem is I'm so F'n bored of it!!!

[@Kristina2]

I'm 34 and have white hair. It is mostly on the front crown of my hair, the part that you can see if I put my hair up in a ponytail. I started getting white hair when I was 28. I had a very very very stressful life. Not so much anymore. I actually noticed that since I took out silicones, sulfates, and harsh chemicals my white hair is not so prominent, like it almost stopped becoming white and started coming in my natural darker brown. I don't know the science behind this or anything, but I do know that I still have white hair but not as much. BTW, I get complimented on my white hair all the time. I don't understand it, but people always ask me if I died my hair deliberately to be white. I guess b/c I have some streaks of white that look kinda like that woman from the dalmatian cartoons from disney. But like I said, those streaks are not nearly as big/wide/ as they used to be. So my long comment is kind of to say just let it go, in my opinion. Everyone's hair goes grey or white eventually. If you think about it, not being grey or white is not 'normal.' I highly doubt people are looking at you and going "look at all that grey hair, eww." No. You are more concerned with it than anyone else, and I totally understand that. Just know that it's beautiful regardless.

Will coconut oil interfere with olaplex during bleaching? I normally douse my hair in coconut oil (for hours. Without washing out prior bleach) then apply the bleach right on top. This has helped me a lot. This time I am adding Olaplex No. 1 into my bleach mixture. I am wondering if the coconut oil in my hair will interfere w the olaplex in my bleach n make the olaplex not work/work well. (I also mix my bleach w a LOT of shampoo. Has also helped me much. N plan to do this time)

Jaded Muse do you mean that your curl pattern hasn’t been the same since you’ve had it bleached??

[@JadedMuse2]

@@siennawood508 Yes. I had left my longtime hairdresser for a different one who I thought would do my hair with a different technique but she ended up doing the same and charged me more than double. I didn't like how dark she toned my hair.... so I went back to my old one. The only thing that I liked about the other hairdresser was my hair had gone back to more of a curl pattern. The only thing I can think of that was really different was she used a lower volume developer and it was Aveda. Since going back to my old hairdresser I asked to go more blonde.... and it's made my hair more wavy and less curly. Now I will say I've been growing my hair out and it's been since June that I've had my hair cut and it's grown a lot. I plan to get it cut in January and get my layers redone. I have also purchased some Olaplex 3, 6 and 7. I'm gonna try to get my hair in better shape before I go back in and ask for Olaplex in my color...hopefully that will help.

[@isabellabourque4802]

You actually are supposed to go in for a bleaching with dirty/oily hair. If your hair is freshly washed when you go in, your scalp is open and more prone to irritation and chemical burns! Also, olaplex no.3 should be used on clean hair so it can penetrate the hair shaft..

[@ManesByMell]

I mention that for curly hair it is better to have “clean hair” in the sense that u don’t have product build up. Sometimes people with curly hair do have this and risk chemical reaction/ colour change due to the product existing on their hair. So again clean hair as in not a lot of product build up, not exactly freshly washed hair. I also do mention that my hair was freshly washed the day before applying the olaplex and does not have product on-top except for a simple leave in conditioner 😘

[@isabellabourque4802]

Oh okay, I also have curly hair (not in my profile pic tho lol) and all my stylists have always said to come in with not clean hair

How do I do this if I swim every day for school

[@BrittnySOLovely94]

Before you go swimming wet your hair completely and add a good about of conditioner that way your hair soaks up less chlorine

[@sydneyc8256]

I'm a curly girl and a swimmer as well. I practice anywhere from three to four times a week but because of these things, my hair is not damaged or frizzy at all. I use chlorine remover shampoo (ultraswim has an AMAZING and pretty cheap brand) and it literally SAVED my hair. At first, I was hesitant to use it because using shampoo goes against curly girl rules, but this shampoo legit gets all the chlorine out of your hair without stripping any natural oils. Ultraswim also has a chlorine remover conditioner, but I found that one to not be very hydrating. Instead, I use either a co-wash or hydrating conditioner, wash it out then apply a leave-in conditioner and styling products as needed. I usually don't have enough time to diffuse it, so I dry it with a microfiber towel and let it do its thing. :) Sorry about the length. Hope this helps.

I am getting my hair bleached and dyed next week and was wondering if you have product recommendtions I can use that are a little cheap then the Aveda. Something I can get at ulta. I really want to prepare my hair and not damage it

I think Mell is the only person I would trust to colour my hair but sadly that will never happen!

[@amberabbott-farr4904]

You are a Beautiful blonde, but I LOVE you with dark hair! Really brings out your eyes!

I truly enjoy your videos. I have naturally wavy hair and have been working on enhancing those. I love my hairdresser and get highlights every 12 weeks at longest. My issue is the top of my hair always turns brassy. Now it is not just this hairdresser I have had this problem all my life. She, nor do any of her other co-workers, say they have never seen hair like mine. Now I have gray hair to cover so she always does my roots first. She highlights, and puts me under the dryer and tones. And then she's frustrated because my hair does not want to cooperate. My last visit she had me come in the following week to redo it and it didn't come out much better. She suggested maybe she come to my house and do my roots the night before and have me come in the next day for my highlights. She uses great products and she uses a great toner and nobody can understand why my hair is doing this. I do use my purple shampoo. How often do you suggest that I use it? I am going to use your suggestion and do a protein treatment before I go in. But do you have any other advice for me?

[@BriannaAnnette]

The top of your hair you’re referring to your roots right? It’s just the underlying pigment is stubborn and not getting counteracted with the toning. Ask her if she’s using only purple pigments in the toning formula. She might need to mix in something more blue undertones to counteract the brassiness more. Is it more orange than yellow brass? Use blue shampoo and see if that helps you at home. The fanola blue shampoo is great.

I’m person a and a half?😂😂😂 I have virgin heat damaged curls!!

[@sabinabujold3431]

Oh Mel I wish I watched this video before I got my blond highlights. My curls were like ... bye! I'm off to sephora to get the olaplex. I wish the stylist didn't straighten my hair after I bleached my hair. You are the best for advice on curly color treated blonde hair.

[@christycastro8648]

Hi. Did the olaplex help bring yr curl pattern back? How are yr curls now?? If you dont mind answering please. 🙏🙏

[@sabinabujold3431]

@@christycastro8648 hi Christy, yes my curls did come back. I've been a curly girl for a month now and I ve been using the olaplex shampoo and conditioner. I did not buy the olaplex 3 bond maker. Yeah my hair looks beautiful and hydrated, curly and lovely. I haven't straightened, or curled it with a curling iron for 1 month now.

[@mayaboukhary2959]
