how to do a bleach bath to remove tones & grey hair prep | 2024

[@WarrioroftheAges]

You would be one helluva Instructor in a Cosmetology school. Wish I would’ve had just 1 instructor as thorough and fun as you are!

[@theblissfulcanuck]

Thank you for this. As someone who started doing their own hair at home about 11 years ago, these informative videos are a lifesaver!

[@brittneealexushair]

YAY! Glad it can help!!!

[@laurahuffman7338]

I was gonna say the same thing!

[@beautyallaroundme724]

I love how well you explain things.

[@MountainMomma1692]

Thank you! Finally someone explained exactly how much of each ingredient to add and gave details instead of just saying do a bleach bath! This is very helpful 😊

[@adriennedumas5301]

I went to cosmetology school years ago. I have no doubt that color theory would have made much more sense, and not as daunting, if I had an instructor like you! Thank you for your time and informative videos!

[@HMTCofScots]

Thank god. I finally got rid of my two month permanent grey from no issues platinum blonde at home to the dumb suggestion from Sally’s to use a pure purple toner for a few minutes. My platinum turned DARK witch grey. So not only did I have shockingly dark hair but it was grey. Two months. No it isn’t wash out. Then they said well out dark blonde toner. Turned it grey again worse than before. This saved me. Perfect results.

[@ExoticTS]

Your amazing follow your other channel too, and looking forward to all the hair colour vids to learn 🎉🎉🎉😊 the way you teach and break things down is just spot in keep up the good work, from UK x

[@brittneealexushair]

thank you so so much for being here on both sides of the internet ❤️

[@Lisa-dd6gm]

My dear you are a life saver 🙏 thank you! I had applied a Demi permanent on my roots and it turned out wayyy to dark, also my blonde pieces were affected by it. Did exactly your suggestion and went with the one to one ratio. Perfect and it got rid of the over tone and also brought up my root one level. If left longer it would of brought brought them up to 2 levels .. all say & done I’m happy with the result. And now I can see my highlights better.. where prior to the treatment they grasp some of that toner. Left on for approx 12 minutes. So happy I found your video. You got it girl!! The explanation was simple and easy to follow. Also, forgot to mention I used 20 developer 🙂🙏

[@Lisa-dd6gm]

Also ti mention 🙂 I looked up how to do a bleach bath and your video was the first one to pop up hahah so great no need to search another one 🙏🌺🌸

[@aprilb2733]

Good info. Alot of people with dark hair that keep coloring dark would not think of shall we say color build up, and you mentioning this bleach bath as a good build up remover is an excellent tip. Maybe a video on repair mode? what products your using and what your doing for repair mode. I think you hair looks healthy but we all know our own hair best an what we think she be like lol

[@jenthulhu]

Aha! Now maybe I can get my greys to accept purple dye better. I always knew that when my greys got bleached they took up dye better but I didn't understand why and I didn't know how to do it without causing a bunch of damage. Now I do! Thank you!

[@andchrjakeva]

During covid I took myself from dark to blonde, when I started hitting those lighter shades of blonde I would do this but on dry hair and with conditioner! It worked exactly the same and was obviously a lot more conditioning. I’ve also recently used a color remover on my dark hair in my ends and it was more damaging than using bleach with a 20 volume. I ended up needing to take about an inch and a half off of my ends. Everyone’s hair is different, just gotta experiment and find what works for you :)

[@mrskimkhalifa]

This was very easy to understand, so informational thank you! 💛

[@guitarsz]

could you do a video that shows how to get dimension out of hair color. most time dyes are just one color, not like natural hair that has different tones, how do you achieve a NATURAL color with dimensions, so like a brown that looks like it has bun kissed by the sun with notes of copper or gold ?

[@brittneealexushair]

FUN YES! I am writing this down but for now the easiest way to do this is to pick out a hair color that is one shade lighter with whatever tone you want (copper or gold) you will apply it foils around the middle of the head and color the rest of the hair the shade darker around the foils

[@217moni]

Thank you for this video and hair tips! Can you provide the link for the clarifying shampoo please?

[@Bright.Vibezzz]

Ugh took me 2 years become blonde and waited 4 months till I found someone to do my root baby lights she F……..CCCCCCCKED up my hair. I threw red on it 🫣☹️ I’m so sad! Now I’m doing bleach bath. It went from red to copper in one wash. So I THINK bleach bath will help me get to where I wanna be. Normal hair color is almost exactly like yours in the picture. Mind you I’ve only been read since like two days ago, so I’m really pissed. I don’t know how she did it but she turned my hair green. Ps Ola Plex is awesome

Hi, I had blonde highlights, and now I bleached it myself at home. The color is okay, platinum blonde, but there are some orange marks left in some places. Does it make sense to do a bleach bath next time before the tint? Would that help?

Ill updatee you on this will def try it :)

[@brittneealexushair]

NOOO!!! I will be thinking of you this week and sending all the positive vibes, you don't deserve that at all. Coconut oil, grape seed oil or even olive oil masks slap it on towel dried or dry hair and put a bag over it (even a shopping bag will work) 15-20 minutes. shampoo & condition out. It will leave your hair a little greasy even after shampooing so would recommend doing it on a day you don't have to go anywhere for a couple days if that will bother you.

[@Ttacettin]

my hair is dark brown. I have now Roots with gray. I dye it 3 times until the ends of the hair. I have some grays again now at the roots. I want to make highlights or lowlights and stop dying it.

Omg I didn’t know about this . I was waiting so patiently to grow out the dark , I have half light brown and half black 😂I thought the solution to my problem is “the scisors”😅

[@Monkey.dAdam1]

Thank you for this video! After the bleach bath does the hair have to be completely dry? I heard you say blow dry but can I apply the color on 60-80% dry hair?

[@ChelseEloūisex]

What if you’ve bleached it and it’s orange could you still do this to lighten it little more ?

Question...so if youre going to use the ph plex in your mix, is it all 4 ingredients 1-1-1-1 or does the ph plex replace the shampoo for a 1-1-1? Thanks!!

How long should you wait to color it after bleaching?

[@tammy51]

I have a question, my hairdresser highlighted my hair and used blue toner. I honestly think she left the toner in way too Long because my tips were violiot. I went home and washed my hair with clarifying shampoo a couple of times. The purple is all out, however my hair looks a little ashy. Last time she did blue toner. I had the prettiest really like highlights and now that didn't turn out that way. What can I use to brighten the blonde? Thank you so much! I can't wait to hear back

Olaplex isn’t a protein treatment. It’s has a patented ingredient that repairs disulfide bonds. It’s not a protein treatment like Aphogee.

I wanna pull the red out of my hair.. should I use a color remover or something I just can’t seem to get hurt a ASH brown.. thanks girl.. love your videos!!🤍

[@brittneealexushair]

if it’s just just a mild red tint you can use the bleach bath then put a brown color with ash over it. if it’s a lot of red, you can use a stripper- the stripper will uncover layer by layer every color that’s on your hair, you’ll rinse it out when it hits the color you want. you will still need to put a color over it- i hope that made sense?

[@brittneealexushair]

yes but use a low volume developer (10 you could even dilute that with water to make it a 5 volume) and only apply it to the yellow parts and keep eyeballs on it. Also Bold Uniq is a brand on amazon that has a great conditioning violet mask to cancel out yellows- you just have to watch this one also it works very fast

Hi Brittnee Alexus hair!!! I’m New here & now a follower. I stopped coloring my blonde hair July 2022. I used Paul Mitchell 10CB Lightest Cool Blonde . I Truly Miss it, but won’t go back. Myquestion is I have silver white with some deeper gray looks like foils. I want to brighten & whiten the grays more. Thinking about adding white highlights or foils?? I would love your advice♥️🙌🙏

[@brittneealexushair]

You could add a few smaller "highlights in" and tone them. Have you tried Bold Uniq from Amazon? It's a toning mask- it works really well for grey but it works FAST so you have to watch it.

If i have highlighted hair and my level 7 hair PLUS gray hairs are showing, would i do a root bleach bath before coloring my roots?

[@aikanae1]

I did not know that about grey hair. I feel like hairdressers don't like natural grey hair - at least they don't talk about it much. I see some with gorgeous (natural) grey and then mine, kinda dull and flat. I'm at a loss for what can be done. I used to be a natural red. I miss having great hair.

[@brittneealexushair]

It is tough because no grey hair is the same, and it really fights the color. If you don't want to use a bleach bath before you color your hair, you can try just applying 20 volume developer on your grey to pre soften it. Nothing mixed in just straight 20 volume. Let is sit for about 15 minutes in a cap and make sure the room is not too cold but do not apply direct heat on it. Then rinse, shampoo, condition & dry and apply the color you want. Or if you don't even want to apply color, it will help soften the grey. Hope that made sense, and also thank you for joining me on this side of the internet also!!

You are right about the grey hair. Mine is dry and course and I dont like how it ages me and I want it healthy looking and to be healthy. I have grown out colour because my hair was falling out and thinning and also snapping off I dont know if that was because I was putting it up but even so it should not snap off for that. So for it to be healthy I left it natural but I need colour so I was thinking of doing a bleach bath in order to get all these semi permanants to stick they come natural and in crazy colours. With grey hair the colours are not coming out right too light and blonde ones are green. I dont know if you are a hairdresser but I can not find one single video or picture of a lady with natural grey hair having a bleach bath to see the difference see if it goes bright orange and see if it goes smooth. is it a good idea? I just think that will only be 10 or 20 volume and i can change my hair colour a lot and get it to stick but I am reticent because I have all this virgin hair I wouldnt want to ruin.

Do not do this. It’s highly damaging and can cause breakage. Instead, use Color Oops, much safer and less harsh.

[@brittneealexushair]

I would agree it's highly damaging if you use 40 volume. Any time you remove color in any method you are risking the hairs integrity. Color Oops is a great product but this is comparable when using a low volume developer like explained.

[@StormyDay]

@@brittneealexushair but it’s not H202, it’s bleach, correct? That’s far more damaging than 40 volume H2O2.

[@heatherwarren4908]

Except it says right on the Color Oops box that it's not meant for demi-permanent hair. It's for regular oxidative hair color. Not pinks, greens, blues or purples. I've tried it on my hair which was colorista indigo and faded to a mint green/pastel blue color. Didn't change the color at all sadly. So bleach bath it is! It's definitely still damaging but not as harsh as just bleach alone.
