@@ShelbieMua it will definitely be more brassy or you’ll have to do multiple rounds of bleaching and tone

[@HollhouseVanHouten]

@@ShelbieMua my partner has had success using the Arctic fox bleach kits on 4b hair, the main downfall is the measly amount of product compared to what’s actually needed. But I’d recommend instead going to a salon supply store and getting 30 vol, 20 vol, and 10 vol and doing multiple rounds of bleaching over the course of a couple weeks (with scalp treatments in between bleaching). The 30 vol will bring it to a very orange colour, the 20 and 10 vol will lift the rest without absolutely demolishing the natural curl pattern of ur hair!

[@TarotMom86]

honestly, i appreciate this because I paid almost 300 bucks for some lady to do the WORST job on my hair ever. she had thick, goopy bleach, and applied in on the top of my head first. covered it all (most of it ending up on the floor) and let it sit for almost an hr. rinsed it, and a HUGE chunk of hair was missed so she rebleached my whole head and left me for another 45 mins! As a "courtesy" she put Olaplex in my hair... I waited a few days to wash my hair because it was also colored (highlighter pink...my choice. was for charity). got out of the shower and my hair was a noodle-y mess. i tried to brush it and hair was breaking like crazy. i just bundled it in a towel and let it dry. when i took the towel off my hair was so frizzy it was out to my shoulders. I don't think I ever cried over my hair before that day. It took me 2 years to repair the damage, and even to this day, despite me having grown out all of the damage, it still doesn't feel the same. This lady claimed to be a stylist for almost 30 years and a salon owner for almost 20. You would think she would know what she was doing. She even damaged my shirt...covered in bleach stains. Literally, the worst salon experience I have ever had. So, I am honestly to the point that I would rather spend 30-40 bucks to ruin my hair all on my own. at least my broken/damaged hair tears won't include me crying over the money I saved up to have it done.

I've always assumed they put conditioner in the box because it's likely a higher quality conditioner than the average person just has in their house, which will make the end result look and feel better. I've always noticed that the conditioner that comes in box dye makes my hair feel much softer than the conditioners I normally use, which are basically just drugstore conditioners.

[@Serena-or7sl]

Yes, it's more of a mask than a conditioner. It should be also color protective and very heavy on the "soft" / "slick" ingredients

Right??

It took multiple sessions and some damage, and a crap load of money, before I finally got it back to my natural color. And then less than a year later I got bored of it and started coloring again at home 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

My go-to's for bleaching my hair at home are Arctic Fox or Strawberry Leopard. The only reason I even tried the Strawberry Leopard was because the store was out of my Arctic Fox that day. I manage to get the job done with just one box, but I have a pixie cut, and the right side of my head is shaved kinda. Anyway, glad to see Arctic Fox come out on top!

[@mariagiani9628]

I hope this eventually gets the attention of Brad because I selfishly want to know the answer for myself, but in the long run it will really help us curly and coily girls in the long run. Okay so I just have a suggestion for a future video with this exact concept BUT it's for "box dye lighteners" that are favorites of the black community, or people with textured hair in general. The top brands I've seen and used myself are: Clairol Texture and Tones, Dark N' Lovely, and the favorite, Creme of Nature. If you could get a manequin with curly AND coily hair (so like type 3 and 4) and try the lightest blond shades from each of the brands on a SUPER dark base I'd just about pass out from happiness. I think it's so important for us to see videos like that, because when you look at reviews online for these brands they're inconsistent or they're all fails because most of us don't know what we're doing 😂, and it's hard enough taking the plunge to do a DIY hair transformation. I know all hair types can be damaged but curly and coily hair especially so, as you're well aware. Anyway, I hope this idea gets picked up one day. In the meantime, I'm going super light ginger blond this weekend so we'll see how that goes lol.

I’ve dyed friends hair, I’ve cut my own hair and partner’s hair and even cut my husbands hair now(he’s easy though, typically he prefers a buzz cut but when he’s growing it out and lets me do a fade on him it always turns out awesome).

the great thing about arctic fox as well is that you can close up the lightener and developer, so if you don't use it all you can save it for next time. It also has slight violet tint which helps with the brassy tones. Since most of arctic fox's customers are using it for creative color, often doing only sections not the whole head, this makes even more sense.

[@kokana24]

You can't save bleach. It has a shelf life of a few hours, if even that.

[@nikkibartlett3998]

[@jenniwilliams3295]

I took my bangs from dyed black freshly dyed to neon pink in one day using that bleach and their color. I do a shampoo cap on the bangs every five or six weeks to catch the roots and brighten the color. But as much as I I have used it there's no damage at all. My 17 year old I bleached the tips of his twists. Worked great and his hair is naturally very very dark brown and took about maybe five or six minutes to get to a yellow orange which apparently is a cool color for kids now I don't know.

[@charisli5095]

same! it worked really well for me. i would also recommend manic panic box dye 30 volume

[@lokiswager]

I tried doing my hair at home for the first time, and I screwed up how much bleach I would need for my hair. So, I ended up having to use this kit twice within the span of a few weeks as I tried to fix the splotchy bleaching I had the first time. For the second time, I did mix some shampoo in to do a bleach bath. I haven't had any hair loss and it worked great, even though I only went a few weeks between bleach treatments. My hair feels perfectly normal one day after bleaching and dyeing. The only extra product I used was hair mask the day before and the day after every bleach treatment.

I was reading an article about box dye vs salon dye. They had a pro from L’Oreal talking about how awful box dye was. I was like, “Hey. My guy. The people you work for make like 15 different box dyes, over multiple brands. You might want to hair this convo out.” They own Garnier, and Dark n Lovely.

[@HaileyKlatt]

The one thing I wonder tho is if there are still unprofessional, name brand box colors on the shelf. Because just like salon products (not the color/chemicals but the retail on the shelves) are only guaranteed when sold in salon. There have been tests on professional, salon-grade hair care products vs the same products from store’s like Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx or Ross for example. And they have usually found identical packaging but in the store’s they found clear differences in consistency and bacteria in some because they are from third party (illegal) distributors. Or sometimes it is the real thing but it’s expired and sold for cheaper. Bacteria would probably not live in hair chemicals but I wonder what type of box color third party distributors could come up with🫣🤔 Maybe all of the (pro brand) box colors ARE good and stylists just say they’re bad because they don’t want their clients’ to overlap/overprocess their hair. That’d make sense because ppl don’t realize how complex formulating color and the application can get To be clear I am not saying all hair products sold outside salon are bad but that is what they kinda teach us in hair school. But it is important to buy from a source you can trust, anytime you’re using products on your skin. We trust these big companies too much that usually prioritizes money rather than our well-being

[@audreyprewett8076]

I used to use the L'Oreal Feria platinum kit, which is way better than the Colorista & a couple bucks cheaper. The drugstore ones come w/ toning conditioners because they're intended to be platinum dyeing kits, not just straight bleaching kits. The Arctic Fox one doesn't come with a protein mask, conditioner, or any other kind of fillers because it's meant to just prep your hair for Arctic Fox semi-permanent dyes - so you need some porosity left to pick up the color. Those dyes are pretty conditioning in and of themselves, too.

Love that you mentioned to check the package details. One of the local bleach kits here called Bleach Cloud comes with a load of 30 volume developer, an a 167g pack of slightly dusty bleach powder. For some reason it doesn't stink that much when mixed and applied, compared to the blue powder we can get from a vaciador (a local and generic Sallys-like place) in the Philippines. It was a bit milder too I guess? Not entirely sure but it did not fry my locks, didn't sting on my scalp, and lifted level 0 virgin to around level 8-9 after 1 session of processing for an hour, with a-OK strand tug tests every five minutes or so. It did kinda souffle up under the plastic and it heated up like no one's business, but the results are fab. Oh, it arrives with latex gloves, a rat tail comb + brush, and mixing bowl too so definitely a fan. I wish they sold just the powder so I can use, say, a 20 volume developer.

I box dye bleached my hair last night ! I can't believe you released this today 😂

[@Tabetha.]

Wow. 👍

[@notaburneraccount]

How did that go?? :)

[@alishadanelle3758]

@@notaburneraccount it went pretty good actually

[@jennybrooks9845]

I used to box dye my hair once a month from 13-19 and I almost always used the garnier brand! The colour deposits well and it leaves your hair feeling soft and not dead! Never bleached, but I have gone everywhere from light blonde, red, purple, orange, dark brown etc

[@sarahbrown5632]

What a great video! I've only used the Arctic Fox and I LOVED it. It is expensive, so I've switched to buying larger quantities of developer and powder lightener, but for a kit, this one was awesome. Definitely recommend. (I'm a medium blonde for the record.)

[@Samantha_M.]

1:23 That's indeed not a typo on the box ”complet" is a French word which means complete The packaging is written both in French and English 😌 L'Oréal Paris is a French brand so that's normal

[@indys9005]

I use garnier for my hair. It feels healthier, really nice color, way cheaper than professional care. I'll probably use it for years to come.

[@nnmrtin8426]

You don't know how much I enjoy your videos and your personality Brad!! I love youu

[@carrieb9106]

I adore Brad!!❤😂 I'm laughing constantly AND learning a lot since he is a wonderful teacher. ❤️

[@jessicasnow3373]

When I was in high school I always used garnier box products and my hair was really light, also felt great and smelled great haha. I’ve since moved away from box hair products but good to hear you like that brand.

[@lumunni9184]

I always used to use the BLEACH London kit to lighten my salon done balayage, along with the BLEACH London deep conditioner and my hair was so healthy and looked great. But I am obsessed with watching hair-dying videos so I at least had some knowledge to use.

[@Rhonda_girl_11]

As always, you are THE best, Brad!!! BTW I'm loving your hair and make up in this post! 😊❤️

[@missdemicarla]

I’d love to see a part 2 with other brands!! Maybe with Hair relaxers? 😊

[@thisishisbubbles9362]

I started using Arctic Fox bleach after finding their hair dye to be incredible. Was nervous because it was more natural. First time I used it, my extremely dark brown hair was platinum blonde in 5-10 minutes. It was not even, because I didn't care since I was dying pink over it so the golden blonde in small places because of my application was fine. I'll never use anything else, because my hair didn't feel so gross after using AF. It also doesn't smell horrendously deadly either. So glad it was his favorite, because it became my favorite after 10 minutes.

[@CheyD33]

Yesssss. I use Garnier for all my bleaching purposes. Never burns my scalp, gives great lift and my hair feels amazing afterwards. It's worth it for being on the cheap end. Mind you, here in Canada you're paying much more for any hair products. ( Garnier costs about $9 in my area, loreal is like, $15-$20 per box)

[@kimberlywatso7917]

Brad I used your turquoise dye from your xmondo color line, omfg my hair has Never been so bold, soft and silky. I’m obsessed!

[@zibaa1234]

Wow, thank you for detail comparisons!😊 helped a lot😅

[@mkchristner]

That Garnier is what I’ve been using for my root touch ups for years. I don’t know how he managed to find it that cheap, it’s always almost twice that! 🤔

[@vanessaharling1957]

I want to start bleaching my own hair ,I’m sick of paying out a fortune.I’m scared of messing it up though 😅

[@afilipissima]

I've been using the L'oreal colorista for a while and gotta say, it never disappointed. I mainly used it to get the ombre look for the ends on medium lenght hair and it always turned out great :) but we have the ombre kits in Europe, depending on what you want the result to be, I don't use the all over bleach kit

[@eternalrose98]

Thank you for bringing justice to the bleach please one Brad! I bought it despite the low ratings it had, but I actually loved how gentle it was!!!!

[@sw33tfac3ny]

You’re greatness ! And the content it’s great as well 🙏💪🏼

[@loriledbetter7068]

BRAD MONDO, I need you to make a natural red dye so I can finally dye my hair! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ElizabethHoward]

While I DO now use the regular ol' stuff from Sally's, back in the day I used two out of four of those. Manic Panic's bleach kit was always my favorite since it lifted the most, but, honestly? They were all fine. Using the straight up developer and bleach just lets me be a lot more custom with it, so I have come to agree with you that it's ultimately the way to go. But I can't hate on the grocery store aisle bleaches. They're not terrible if you're willing to be flexible about your results... and have pretty strong hair.

[@noneyobeeswax1428]

I love this hair color & style on Brad. Very youthful 💗

[@theblessedlife2376]

Love love love your hair in this ❤️

[@adreadarling]

Also the only good thing about box dye is how good the included conditioner almost always smells 👌

[@lisatimmons7229]

I’m an anti-box dye lady. Today in Target I caved. Not going to lie. I’m so impressed. Great color (roots a tiny hot. My fault for using a bag and not foils) no loss of hair, came with not just conditioner, but a shampoo for after. I hate to say it, but I might be done with salons after 33 + years.

[@erikaaguilar2752]

Which one did you get? That’s awesome!

[@tabathabyerly6142]

Yeah. I'm curious 2

[@sarahfitzgerald2708]

Seriously, the people demand to know!! Lol what kind did you use???

[@elysemazzola2246]

Which one

[@wellnesscanceradvocate8564]

At 130 I spent last time I would be too

[@nikki2370]

thank you Brad! we needed this. lol. so we all can do this at home 🤣🤣

[@daybyday2496]

I love how you present everything! Too cute! I'd keep watching even if I didn't want to bleach my hair lol.

[@ilanafreeman4725]

I’ve been touching up my roots with the L’Oréal one for the last few months! So excited to see your review. Edit: I also hate the applicator bottle, I end up mixing everything in a bowl and apply with a brush

[@madisonclark6808]

Ive used the arctic fox to bleach my own hair without even being able to see the back of my head and I honestly was extremely impressed it was a tad brassy at the roots because the ends lightened quicker so id recommend an blue and purple base toner

[@Kiiindt]

Thank you so much now I need the toner advice 🥲😂

[@ranchhouse3650]

Really helpful like always, thank you!

[@sarahtwamley7215]

Okay i love that you're testing these. Just a warning for people who wanna use these or similar ones, if your hair is longer than your chin or thick at all, you're gonna need multiple boxes. I've done my hair myself for years and have long thick hair so it just made sense to get the tub of powder bleach and developer from a hair shop. It was much cheaper in the long run!

[@funsizedi88]

Yup I feel u. I'm at the point where it's cheaper to go to Sally's again. Hair is back o my waist snd it's 5 to 6 boxes to do my whole head. Just my roots at 6 weeks took just over 2, maybe used 1/4 of the 3rd one.

[@lisareynolds6319]

Brad, I appreciate you so much. I have learned so much about hair color from you. I had no idea what to do when my hair turned orange or yellow until you taught us about toners. I didn't know what was happening, why it was turning those weird colors, that it was fixable and so on. The worst part is I have not only had this happen when I've done my own hair, but when hair dressers that I've been hundreds of dollars to who did not know how to tone or properly lift my hair. It's shocking and it only goes to show what a master you are!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. My husband and I now can do my own hair for pennies on the dollar without my hair falling out of my head or looking like a freak. You're the best!

[@char9957]

Hi Brad!! You're awesome in many many many ways! You make me laugh too. I wish I were in NY just so I could ask questions on what you would recommend for my hair in some ways. Can't wait for more! lY!!!!!!!!!

[@abcdisturbedchik]

I use the the R3 red from Garnier and have for over 10 years and my hair has never been destroyed and always looks even and awesome color. I've always loved their stuff.

[@ReyBeltane]

So excited you reviewed a product we have in the UK! I’ve not experienced any breakages with Bleach London (I have really thick hair though-and I only bleach the tips and still need two boxes). They have a Plex Bleach kit that’s only £3 more though which is nice. For some reason Arctic Fox’s ingredients are not compliant with EU/UK standards so I’ve never gotten to try them.

[@richiethev4623]

She is conversational I wouldn't buy anything from her brand Artic Fox ekkk I don't support racist's... Maybe it's a good thing you can't try this brand because it's means less money goes to a racist. I am from the U.S. it's a scandalous deal with her and not enough room on here to go into detail's...

[@ReyBeltane]

@@richiethev4623 whoa! had no idea/don't know anything about the company or her, just that I always see people using the brand in KZbin videos and realised it wasn't sold in the UK. Definitely not trying to give money to racists, though!

[@MaryAliceComedy]

I recommend Revlon Dark Ash Blonde box dye to correct your color after bleaching if its yellow and orange or blotchy. It works for me every time and Lift Up is a decent box bleach

[@nicoleford4265]

I bought Bleach London recently, and the brands toner. Planning on cutting my hair shorter so I haven't tried it yet, hopefully it works! Thanks for showing us a trial run😁❤

[@SweetBeeProductions]

I use the L’Oréal colorista to get temporary color out of my hair, like arctic fox or lime crime, etc, and it works really well for that! But only because my hair was already bleached, so it’s a nice “soft” way of lifting blues and pinks out, for me personally. But I generally go with that Arcticfox bleach please all the time! It’s fantastic!

[@melissalithila7622]

I think it would be cool to do bleach & toning videos together. Like explain what level they are, what undertones you see and what toner your followers could use. I know you have a seperate toner video already but a video like this then followed up with a toner and blow dry would be cool.

[@xnyroxchannel]

Only time I’ve ever damaged my hair with “box bleach” in a decade was when I went from black to blonde and did two treatments in a week which I knew was dumb

[@justsomegirlwithoutamustache]

*PEANUTS*

[@andyolivares999]

ive done 2 in one sitting from proper dark black to ash blonde o.o

[@notaburneraccount]

Same 😅

[@jessie_dreams_]

I've used the garnier and the colorista and they worked well for what I needed, which was a light yellow. I color over it with lavender and it's lovely!

[@neelymurphy6797]

I used that exact Garnier box on dark brown hair, like level 4ish, and I didn't know how light it would be, but I knew light blonde wasn't going to happen. I was also pleasantly surprised with the light strawberry copper reddish blonde, which was always my usual color for years before I stopped coloring anyway, so I liked it. It will definitely get dark bases to strawberry blonde.

[@EdgelordInferno]

I stand by AF's Bleach Please, so I'm glad to see that it's getting some recognition. I'm always able to cover my whole head with one box (tho tbf I have an undercut lol) and the results are consistent every single time. And I'm real lazy and real sloppy tbh, I get five minutes in and I'm throwing the brush in the sink and just using my hands lmao. Never had a breakage problem and my hair always feels amazing afterwards, honestly it's the best.

[@dansteinsdorfer9848]

Came to the comments to say this! I go from dark brown to white w this stuff! Love it

[@dizzylizzy6492]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I won’t use another!!!!!!!!!!

[@Samantha-vg5ro]

I'm trying to find an alternative because I can't bring myself to financially support Arctic Fox/ Kristen Leanne after the things she's said, are there other brands you've tried that have these results?

[@EdgelordInferno]

@@Samantha-vg5ro The only other brand I've tried that's even close is this one called Brite, my niece grabbed it for me from Walmart when I was desperate and it worked quite well. If it helps at all, I was also *very* on the fence about continuing to support AF for a while, but it turns out Leanne left the company completely in late 2021, and since then it's really seemed like the company is doing all they can to distance themselves from her. 👍 If not, tho, I totally get it and hopefully Brite will give you similarly good results if you can find it!

[@MadamMonchimonchi]

@@Samantha-vg5ro she’s not part of the company anymore

[@kirstiesmilez95]

I love those box dye conditioners. I used to take my sister's when she'd dye her hair (she used her own conditioner she already had at the house lol)

[@misseskayusa8192]

This video is so much fun to watch

[@arubaroy8365]

Informative and hilarious. You are quite the entertaine Brad! 😂 😀

[@serafia_]

Box dye bleaches are actually good if you know what you're doing. Many have the developer volumes hidden on the box, but you can usually find them. But yeah, many people DON'T know what they're doing 😭

[@justicecochenour6299]

The way he made the boxes walk in like contestants made my day

[@KeishelleNichole]

I’ve used to L’Oréal platinum before. On brownish/blonde hair and it lifted me nicely! I went overboard of course but prior to that it was great. Can you do this one next time?! Love ya brad ya the bestest!

[@gamewithmsyumi9914]

Thank u for this video, I want to dye my dark brown hair ( some parts) into blond grey and this really helped me and made it affordable ❤

[@googleuser2795]

The conditioner that comes in box dye leaves your hair much nicer and I believe it’s supposed to help “lock in” the color. Also when I used box bleached on my Mexican dark brown and long hair in my teens I required like 4 boxes for my hair to truly saturate. Idk what my mom did when she applied it but I was BLEACHED BLONDE LOL! Toner would’ve been helpful though. Nowadays it’s so expensive! Might as well purchase my stuff at Sally’s. I’ve abused my amazing genes enough lol

[@katiemeloy81]

They’re full of silicones which is why they feel nice. They basically coat the hair in a film

[@breannajohnson1318]

The L’Oréal colorista bleach is actually a 30 volume developer. It has “30 v” printed on the bottles, you just have to look.

[@Krys89]

When it comes to bleach kits arctic fox or manic panic are my go to's they havent failed me in years! Love your vids 🖤
