[@ldenirg]

Instant follow because you got right to it. No long drawn out stories. Just straight to the directions. Very easy to follow as well!! ❤

[@Souplady22]

I’m an old head (50) who JUST started wearing (and is addicted) wigs… this is gonna put me in the game!!! Say less!!! Beautiful presentation and even I can understand it!!!!! Thanks young lady! 😊

[@jazzyjaz2024]

Out of all of the videos I have seen, this is HANDS DOWN the BEST video I have seen!!!!! I been paying people to bleach my knots and since no one out here is willing to do it without an install (I already learned how to install so I don’t need to pay someone for that ) - I have to finally learn how to do this myself. I have a job interview next week so I want to use my brand new unit I bought 2 months ago. This video is so THOROUGH and I’m about to go to the store and buy everything you mentioned here. I’m terrified to do this today by myself but I feel like this video is giving me the confidence to finally learn how to do this myself and stop paying others. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

I am binging your content because my birthday is coming up. Girl you are my fave hairstylist in LIFE. NO ONE on this platform is more skilled at hair. I wish you did hair in my city. I don’t let anyone touch my hair but I def wouldn’t be scared to book an appointment! Anyway, thanks for getting the girls together!! We appreciate you.

[@krystaltimberlake]

I love how she got straight to it

[@NeilGates]

I just started wearing a lace front and have been needing help. Thank you very much!! Your videos are so detailed and really take the time to explain. As a guy I never knew anything about wigs or anything! I was always so confused how some girls would come to work with all of a sudden long hair and it looked natural! Now I know!!! So now I have to go watch your plucking video to learn that part now.

[@WeThePeopleTV14]

This the best bleaching video on here for beginners tbh

[@theposhceo]

GREAT TUTORIAL THANKS FOR ACTUALLY EXPLAINING EVERYTHING 💕

[@traeannahbrown5699]

Girl when you say let's play find the knot I was like Ooooh yasss 🤩🤩Not a Knot to be found! Definitely slayed that!

[@Sanderson5CLC]

I thought that was awesome when she said that❤️😊

[@EbaniDawson]

I really like this video. She made me laugh a few time but this video was very helpful for me. I’ve been getting better and better every time I apply a wig. I think this is one of the things that is is really going to change the game for me.

[@reallyazaria]

You’re welcome baby 😘😘

[@ashleymorra6725]

Girl I followed and was patient and so far it’s looking good thank you ! You just gained a subscriber. I’m trying to do this myself cause I still wanna look good and wear wigs to leave my hair alone but at the same time this helps me save for things I’m working towards but still look good lol. So thank you !!!

I like the detail video. I just use 40 developer and leave it on for 25 min and I dies in half the time the aluminum foil is a waste of product

[@vikayyyye]

Thank u so much for this! I'm new to bleaching knots and I can't wait to try this!

[@jantherealtorchic]

Excellent tutorial video! I will be using this method. Thanks for sharing this golden nugget🥰🥰🥰

[@Kimiah-r7d]

Hello new subscriber, I like how you just take your time and you do it real slow a lot of videos there so fast so thank you so much. I've learned so much just watching two of your videos then I have with other KZbinrs and watching several❤❤❤

[@milaj7074]

Love this video! I’m doing this tomorrow and I’m nervous 😬 but I’m ready 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@HOLLYHOUSE11]

You could just use a spray bottle of water to wet it up again, and not have to touch it and risk pushing the bleach thru.

[@ToryiaKelley]

Thanks for the video. Just got my first wig and I’m about to make a run to Sally’s. 🤞🏽Hope I can do this.

[@lanorapeters972]

My #1 go to video when I’m bleaching my knots… I literally just come here when I’m bleaching my knots just to watch as I go 😅

[@a1asiaaa_602]

So I can use the orange shampoo right? They say it has to be purple or blue or something to cancel out the color

[@lucrecia_chinaa]

You did a great job explaining it for us slow learners 😂😂

[@acasseus78]

I am going to try this on my next wig...

[@starb73]

This video is very informative. So is the neutralizing shampoo absolutely necessary?

[@thechachimarie]

A shampoo like isoplus gets hair completely clean from chemicals, oil, dirt..

[@asimon7887]

Do you put the aluminum foil back on after you add more developer?

[@thechachimarie]

No I just let it breathe

[@raerae8428]

Should I also use 2 bleach packs for a glue less wig? It’s a 5x5 26 inch lace frontal wig. Just wondering cause the lace is not that wide

[@eleezab]

Thank you so much for your step by step process.

[@nancyama7609]

Do you pluck before bleaching or bleaching before plucking

[@arielrucker1363]

girl u did yo thangggg😩ive never seen such a good bleached lace👏🏾

[@Alimaway]

What other shampoos have anyone used for bleaching lace and for wigs in general?

[@key4152]

if i was ordering a box braid wig would it be appropriate to do this? i mean i have seen people just throw makeup on it and went about their business 😂

[@allforlovely4394]

Thank you so much! This video just blessed me, I have not seen a tutorial that calls for long timeframes to bleach and treat brassiness of the frontal so thank you for showing that more time yields quality results! May God bless your channel for the helpful tips you share and I love your temperament as well! 💕💗

[@jaquetteteemer6068]

I only have a 40 developer , ima be care ful and quick when I apply it . And I don’t think ima use the aluminum because it processes quick

[@nessascastle5189]

What else Can I Use Besides Purple shampoo/conditioner??

[@pberry1924]

Can I just send my wigs to you gurl!!!!! ??? Because you did that.

[@childishgambinaa]

Make sure y’all don’t use metal YALL !

[@nylee7328]

Why?

[@childishgambinaa]

@@nylee7328 cause that will cause a reaction that messes up the process use anything but metal for sure!

[@childishgambinaa]

I got a notification saying someone was confused, so lemme clarify use like plastic or wood etc not metal to mix everything together so it does not oxidize before using the foil to cover everything ❤️

[@TokeloMatlala-j8x]

For❤?

[@Wait4MeDudes]

Aluminum is a metal, i see so many people using it

[@aaliahfuller1609]

Hey love can you telling me everything you used like what u need down below I wanna do this with my blonde wig 🥹 & is it ok for me to use my own shampoo and conditioner ?

[@thechachimarie]

Not at all. I did soaked the frontal in hot water today. The water turned dark but the hair still looks black

[@simms386]

@@thechachimarie Thanks for the information.

[@kailynblanchard62]

Woww! Please do mine for me! I want to try this but am afraid I’ll over bleach still 😭😭😭

[@lalajones5887]

I feel like I can do this.. thank you for being simple and to the point and clear!! Ok..imma do yall!! Question, I'm a tad bit browner than you and I was watching another video dating that 20 developer should be used for my complexion. What do you think? Xo

[@thechachimarie]

The lower the developer the slower the belching process , I didn’t know it mattered what the skin complexion was? I honestly use 30 or 40 on every lace I bleach regardless.. but if it’s your first time bleaching go ahead and go for the 20 or 30

[@lalajones5887]

​@@thechachimarie thank youuuuuu so much.. can't wait to share the results with you 😃

[@thechachimarie]

Yes Lmk how it turns out

[@dehjhunaeday5743]

You can i did it for the first time yesterday, but got scared i didnt let it bleach too long.

[@unique4532]

The bleach dosent bleach the hair when washing out ?

[@Sc-ib6qq]

Do I have to use the neutralizing shampoo?

[@veraveronica173]

Pls what is the foil used for?

[@_Marissathom]

Thank u so much I understand so much better very detailed video ❤

[@pinkcilantro4261]

Lovely video , thank you for the tips

[@connikaden2605]

Wow. Super gemacht 👌

[@preedestined1]

So overall how long should the bleach be on?

[@thechachimarie]

I’d say Anywhere between 20-45 mins depending on how thick the knots are and the consistency of your bleach mixture

[@nwalden5744]

What’s holding wig up

[@ShortlyShort-w1o]

Where u purchase that wig hun?

[@deninekdw]

Does bleaching make the unit shed faster??

[@thechachimarie]

That’s what ppl say but if you don’t have trash hair the shedding won’t be anything alarming just because you bleached your knots

[@BriannaLifeCoach]

Yes

[@TamiaBradford-pr5lw]

If I previously put a little makeup on the lace should I wash it off and then start the bleaching process. Or can I just wash it off when I’m taking the bleach off.

[@thechachimarie]

I don’t think it should be a problem 🤔 but if anything wash it and blow dry the inside of the lace to dry it then try to bleach the knots like normal

[@alexisbradley4481]

I forgot to buy aluminum foil. Can I jus use a paper towel to cover the lace after applying the bleach and the developer

[@thechachimarie]

I would just let it sit without covering it before putting anything else that’s not aluminum foil

[@adventurewithAngel]

Plastic knives never metal

[@jayl-cz5vk]

Why

[@saiahperez]

It literally does not matter wtf😂 she’s not eating any of this

[@AllThingsNani]

Great vid But it’s not suppose to have an orange tone or seep through the lace. & Why not show us how it looks, on your head ?

[@Fillinyourownblanks]

Thank you this was so helpful!!

[@charward2531]

Can this same bleaching process be used for a closure unit?

[@thechachimarie]

Yes ofcourse

[@SnacckyChanT]

does it have to be 30 developer? im planning on bleaching my knots/hair soon too with 40 developer.

[@thechachimarie]

You can but 40 will lift faster so check on it every 15 minutes

[@ellel9579]

Hey. Do I need to use a neutralizing shampoo or can I use regular shampoo???

[@thechachimarie]

A neutralizing shampoo makes sure the chemicals from bleach are completely out the hair

[@hellosunshine3647]

If i bleached for the first time and I feel like all my knots didn't take on the 1st round, cAn I redo it? How long should I wait and should I wait

[@thechachimarie]

I mean you can butttt depending on the hair quality it can make your wig start shedding bad, I usually just bleach once and whatever didn’t take I say oh well lol

[@adgebob5890]

Dont start from the front. Always start from the middle or back to front. No metal appliance also. Use a wooded stick

[@serenelyfe5]

I’m trying this today! Pray for me 😂.

[@ChinaEnjoli]

Do I need to use aluminum foil? I don’t have any so will a plastic bag be fine?

[@thechachimarie]

I learned a long time ago that the foil causes it to heat up and bleach better/faster.. I’m not sure a plastic bag will do the same but sometimes when I don’t have foil I just follow the same steps

[@niyahlynnnn]

do you have to use ah specific shampoo ?

[@thechachimarie]

For which part because I used like 2 different ones.. the isoplus makes sure all the bleach is out and the purple one makes my lace not look so orange..doesn’t have to be the exact brands I used but they have to do the same things

[@niyahlynnnn]

So easy to follow thank you x

[@torisole5195]

So I went to get the supplies but I noticed on the bw2 tube it said that it is to be used with Clairol developers but I got something called Super Star 40 volume developer…can I still use it to bleach the lace or??

[@thechachimarie]

I used a different developer with bw2 before and it bleached the knots But I only used it cause the hair store was out of the Clairol and I had to get something.. but I definitely prefer the clairol idk if it’s a mind thing cause I’m so use to it but if the hair store has it that’s what I’m getting

[@spivey1218]

@chachi marie So I attempted to bleach my knots and it got on the roots of the hair. 😫😫. Can I fix it? I wanted to show you but I dont see how I can attach the pic.

[@thechachimarie]

Yea that happens when the bleach is too watery and it seeps through the lace onto the hair… You’d probably have to dye the roots but Depending how over bleached they are you can always just touch up the roots after you style your hair with a temporary color dye spray or even mascara.. that’s what I do.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

If you bleach a wig but the knots are still visible can you go back in and do it again? I let it sit for 30 minutes and it didn't work. And they said not to leave it in longer than that I wish I seen this video sooner for the tip about the consistancy earlier because my wig looks brassy 🥺

[@thechachimarie]

I never double bleached before .. ppl say not to because it may be too harsh and cause the wig to start shedding ..I’d just leave it alone and try this technique when you get a new lace

[@yoyomama9858]

maybe try again but use 20 and just eyeball but perhaps cut the time to 10 min with the foil and condition well if still nothing just scrap this one but don't be discouraged

[@jayrussell99]

Going to try this

[@bribreeze4243]

Do you use a conditioner after you shampoo?

[@thechachimarie]

Yes

[@yuritardid3961]

Will this work on a synthetic lace wig from shein?

[@thechachimarie]

I have no clue but I doubt synthetic hair can handle the chemicals . I’m about to to a video using a shein wig in the next week but i don’t think it’s synthetic

[@ambrosia1917]

i bleached my knots but first the knots bled a brownish color then turned bright orange. After 2 hours, the knots were still bright orange.

[@thechachimarie]

after two hours of having the purple shampoo on the lace? You might have bleached the roots of the hair. You can go in and dye them black or just fix it with makeup and a temporary color spray once you install. Or you can use a liquid toner for the knots like one from wella.. I don’t have a video on that though. I’ll do one when I have a lace that’s over bleached

[@DontGrandRiseMe]

Try using blue shampoo. On the color wheel, blue is directly across from orange so blue is better to cancel orange. Because purple is directly across from yellow, purple works beat to remove yellow from your knots.

[@jennym732]

I have a transparent laced wig. Please the lace, the hair did bleach but the middle part where there is no hair is white & clear. What do I do in that case?

How do you know when to bleach the knots? I have an HD lace but I’m not sure if I need to bleach the knots or not. They said the wig came bleached already, help.

[@thechachimarie]

Most lace I’ve come across don’t come pre bleached but If they say it is maybe it is. You have to put it up against your hand and see if you see the intense black dots all over the lace as you part through it
