How To: Bleach Wash/Soap Cap | THE SAFEST WAY TO LIGHTEN HAIR

[@BudDElf]

I was starting to say in my last comment. I have been in the hair industry for over 30 yrs. My mother and father both actively held their license, with constant learning. To keep up with our ever changing industry for a total of over 65yrs. My father held a license as a Master Barber license also. Then there was my grandma who had her own salon. Grandma held her license for over 40 yrs. so let me get this out there to all your viewers. “This lady knows her stuff! No matter even if you are a cosmetologist or a diy lady. Listen to her and she will save your bacon!!!”

[@kimberleighforbes2949]

It's so refreshing to see an actual professional giving tips and advice. I am a fellow professional and these videos on YT make me cringe, especially the ones dealing with color. Thank you. You have a new subbie!

[@monaeartistry]

Kimberleigh Forbes nothing but the truth! We need more beauty professionals giving advice.

Kimberleigh Forbes omg I know, so cringe when you watch non professionals and they have no idea what they are doing.

I love how your main concern is the health of her hair!! So many many times I've been to a black hair stylist and they leave relaxer in your hair for ridiculous time frames. Then they burn, I mean singe the hair, so its stick straight. It's such a relief to see actual concern for hair instead of just wanting the style to appear nice. It's obvious you are well trained and talented👍🏾

[@BrittneyGray]

Yes! Health is my number one concern before the style and before making money. Healthy hair= good hair in my opinion :))

[@hannahofhorror]

Agreed! And anyway, let's be honest...when people keep coming back to you because they trust you with their hair and the way you treat it, you be the one making money 💅🏾 just saying lool

[@theabk4u1]

i understood what you were trying to say but, I don't think you should have compared her to black hairstylists....The race of a stylist has nothing to do with their skillset.

[@londonsmon12]

@@theabk4u1 it kind of does since most people stick to those with experience in their hair texture

[@DearTkeyah]

People only do what you allow them to do. You can't blame them for you not speaking up. If you feel like your relaxer is being left on too long then say something. If you dont want your hair bone straight then tell them. It sounds like you really didn't want straight hair in the first place. I know this is an old comment but the comparison you made just triggered me. These are 2 different things and hair types.

[@lauragroves348]

“I want an ashy red” is why I stopped working at a hair salon 😂😂

[@Shelovesstruth]

Lol😂

[@OLHA767]

There are yellow/orange based reds and blue/violet based reds. When they’re asking for “ ashy red” 9/10 times they are asking for blue based.

[@reinydaye44]

I just wanna say how grateful I am for you because I colored my hair dark BLUE and instantly hated it. Was scared to do another bleach because I tried to put box dye over it to get rid of it but I tried this bleach wash method and it lifted ALL the blue out immediately and I’m so happy. Gonna wait another week to do another bleach wash and then go about toning and coloring again

[@imnotgonnasay3612]

Uggh! Thank you, Brittney for explaining why dark-haired clients shouldn't expect their hair to turn blonde in one sitting. Have seen many fellow stylists turn their client's hair blonde in one shot and the hair looks healthy and beautiful when leaving the salon. But when the client washes their hair for the first time and and it has that mucky, mushy feeling, OHHH boy. Not a good situation. The stylist who can say NO to their client has the most integrity. I've actually had to tell a client to stop coloring her hair red-violet because it made her look like a penis. Not even kidding...

[@valeriealvarez7508]

I do believe it’s possible using the proper technique because it happened to me! My hair was naturally dark brown almost black. In just 2 bleaching sessions (all done in 1 day) my hair was blonde! Not platinum but a nice golden even blonde and my hair was not mushy feeling. Also the thing about the penis, now that’s just wrong lol 😂

[@daniellep4628]

How does a hair color make you look like that 😭

[@AnEclecticGentleman]

'Ashy Brunette' reaction was priceless as she knows her hair has natural warmth and skin tone is golden so ashy could clash with this warmth and make her look washed out and tired. Personally think rose golds / honey tones would look amazing

[@Roguey84]

I think ash blonde would look good on her. Im lighter but ash blond tends to favor those with my skin tone, and other examples ive seen on others.

[@Tyrkenit]

girl, your face when she says "ashy" :D priceless

[@LindaMFerrell]

There are cool (ashy) reds and then there are warm reds but you have to show swatches of these to your client to make sure you're agreeing on what color she meant; being on the same page.

[@no0nexoxo823]

I went to a hair salon that does olaplex (wich was the reason for me going) long story short the person who did my hair did not put the olaplex with bleach.. according to her (she felt I did not need it) my hair was already recovering and looking great, after that session my hair experienced extreme breakage, now I have to start from square one. Thanks but no thanks. Great video :)

[@anthonyfox585]

[@user190isback8]

This video/tutorial is by far the best bleach bath guide on KZbin... Thank you very very much!!!!

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

Excellent video! I’ve been shampoo capping my hair for decades... just to lift it from medium blonde to light golden blond.

[@wephotogal]

I went to a professional salon for highlights. Since I had color on my hair, she said that she needed to "lift" the processed color. I don't remember my sylist doing this method of washing, but "lifting" the color while I was in the chair. I asked her how long I had to sit there for this and she told me an hour. Then she washed it out and then put in highlights. Within months, I had breakage. Had I known this process of using bleach to lift the color (I should have asked beforehand) I never would have done it. But I never heard of leaving bleach on for that long either. I had never had breakage like this in my life before and it was a nightmare. My sides around my ears are still so thinned out and this has really affected me greatly. I do notice I have short strands popping up, so I am hoping that is new growth. I am doing all that I know to do to get healthy hair - no product, no heat, no dye, oil the ends, shower filter, no sulfates - everything! Thank you for posting this video, as I am never doing anything to f*ck up my hair again. I hope I can get it to be healthy :(

[@valentinadonadod8776]

im really sorry that happened to you... how is your hair now?

[@wephotogal]

@@valentinadonadod8776 oh my goodness- you know, it's grown out, but the sides around my temples are still so whispy and thin. I don't know if it's because of that incident but my hair has never been the same.

[@thebaexo]

Wait where’s the rest of the series? I just scrolled all the way to 2016 to see how light she went. I just came across your page randomly because of the bleach wash

[@KAWASAKlBLAZIN]

I don’t want to use clarifying shampoo because I plan to leave the bleach on for 10+ minutes so I wanna use any shampoo from Shea moisture it never strips my hair (pro tip: if you used a shampoo that stripped your hair, use a shampoo that you know leaves your hair a bit softer right afterwards and the stripped feeling will go away crazy I know)

You're a great hairdresser. Wish you were here in Toronto. You have sense. I've been to so many who are just wreckless. And yes, starting applicatiion at the top of my head instead of in the back. I had to stop a hairdresser just the other day as she did this. I can't seem to find a good one who has sense. They are on power trips and just rush doing your hair. Btw...I really like the way her colour turned out. I dont fancy red hair but I do like the mahogany shade which is what she got. It looks great. If I were her I would stay with that color. It is a classy look.

[@peepsqueek923]

I'm curious, I always done bleach caps using conditioner instead of shampoo as the diluting medium, and they've always worked well for me. I know conditioner doesn't open the hair shaft the way clarifying shampoo does but since this whole method is about going low and slow I always found that conditioner worked to keep the hair soft and healthy during the process anyway. Am I making a mistake by doing this or missing something?

[@alicegoldenvalley]

A lot of color removers do have bleach or lightening ingredients so sometimes (at least I find for my clients and I) it's just more efficient to go in and lighten

[@JaneSmith0709]

@@nataliejaggi387 Yes, many do have bleach, but there are many that don't have any lightening effects. I use vitamin C and Head & Shoulders shampoo and it works really well. Not only that, it strips the hair of buildup, similar to a Malibu C treatment. I find it's good to let the C treatment do the heavy lifting so the bleach can do a better job.
