HOW TO DO A BLEACH WASH SOAP CAP! Color balance shampoo cap for hair explained.

- If you're wanting to go a couple shades lighter this video is for you. Doing a shampoo cap/bleach wash/color balancer- whatever you want to call it- can help to pull out previously dyed hair so that you can get a lighter look using either a toner or other hair color. I went pretty aggressive with my mannequin head, Susan, because Manniquin hair is incredibly stubborn. I would recommend using a lower volume on a real person's hair and DEFINITELY don't do 3 back to back shampoo bleach baths as I did in this video. Chemical haircuts are real- always proceed with caution! If you only need a tiny bit of lifting check out the video below this- about how to fix hair color that has gone wrong!
If you're new here, WELCOME!!! I'm Rae- I am a professional hairstylist so a lot of my content is hair/beauty related! Additionally, I do a weekly whimsical Wednesday video that is more in the lifestyle category and is whatever fun uplifting subject that my heart desires. I hope you enjoy the video!

Excellent! You also give great advice (per your comment section). I’m sure this has helped many folks. It’s appreciated ☺️
I try to be as helpful as possible!!! Thank you for watching and commenting! Be sure to check out some of my other videos when you have a little free time! :)
At 3:46 the kitty in the lower right corner watching and judging your work... 😂 ❤️
YES life with kitties 😂😂💙
This is the best bleach bath video. Your explanation and demo is really great. I've watched it thrice now. Lol Going to bleach wash some dark dye off my hair so that I can color it light brown. Not looking for too much lift and not interested in doing regular bleach lightening. This seems perfect.
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward.
Thank you so much! How did it turn out?!!
Thank you! I want curious as to whether I could use any shampoo or just clarifying shampoo. You definitely answered that question.
You could use any. I usually buy the cheapest stuff for bleach washing. Because it doesn’t make sense to use my expensive shampoo for this process.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Suddenly I wish I could take my head off 🤦♀️😂
🤣🤣
Lol oh my God I know it would be so much easier to do your hair

My thoughts: 1000000% agree!! You can try getting a friend to assist and that makes home hair color easier and a little more fun :)
Thanks for watching!
I had a client yesterday who brought her hairdressers formulation for her hair from home. I toned her with a demi on the formula and it made it all a level 8 all over when I knew better because she's more like a level 10 /11 bleached blonde and toned. I only let it sit 10 minutes so I'm going to do a shampoo bleach cap and hopefully it will just lift the demi put on thanks for the info

How did your client's hair turn out?
Also.. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you very quick too the point.
I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have 3N demi perm over grey/white hair and it does NOT wash out. I want to go natural and remove all the 3N. Can you recommend what # developer, time to leave in, how many repeats are usually safe and if a deep conditioning in between is necessary.
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue.
My thoughts: Going from very dark color-treated hair to natural grey/white can be very challenging, especially if you had that 3n applied more than one time. You will more than likely need several rounds of bleach and toner because to get that 3n out you are going to have to get through red, orange, yellow then pale yellow. I am going to add this as a topic for a future video because there is so much to take into account on the subject. What did you end up doing and how did it turn out?
Thanks for watching!
Can you use conditioner instead of shampoo? Also, how long do you leave this on for? I’ve been bleaching my roots for a while so now it’s been a year or so and my ends are pretty brassy compared to the top...
Honestly in your situation what I would probably do is when you go to rinse your freshly bleached roots add enough water to kind of lather the bleach from the roots down thru the ends- just for a few minutes- watch what the color is doing and see how it’s feeling. If you’ve already done the roots and are just wanting to freshen up the ends then I would do a low volume and shampoo- save the conditioner for after- but if you decide to try the conditioner out let me know how it works for you. Timing is the same- you just need to watch the color and pay attention to how your hair is feeling. Another solution might be to just tone the ends. Let me know what you decide to do, how it works out, and if you have anymore questions! I hope this helps!
I was taught - One Part Bleach + One Part 20 Volume Peroxide or Developer and One to Three Parts Shampoo ( depending on desired results ) on damp hair and strand test every 5 to 10 mins. until desired results are achieved.
Everyone mixes a little differently, I feel like especially when working with bleach! That combo sounds like a good one tho! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello :) My question is: I applied a light ash blonde with 30 vol last night. Roots look good, lower half that has multiple shades eq black applications isn't lifting. I did a soap cap strand test with bleach, 30 vol, shampoo and coconut oil. Matches perfectly to roots and feels healthy. I'm wondering how long after the color I applied last night I should wait to soap cap all over. I don't want to get crazy and damage my hair. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and answering questions!!!
I'M SO SORRY about the very delayed response! It has been a super busy couple of weeks for me- I generally try to respond much faster! If your strand test felt good I think you are safe to soap cap- I would just be careful not to get it on your roots and accidently pull up that fresh color. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching! Let me know how your hair turned out!
@@TheReelRae No worries..I totally understand. I waited a week and soap capped all but the roots. I want to go a bit lighter so I plan to do another soap cap in a week with a toner. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you so much for you're help! 💖
@@notyourbusiness2327 Sounds like a good plan! Keep me posted! :)
I highly recommend using a color remover first, then doing a bleach bath after. The bleach won't have to work nearly as hard to get you the lift you want.
I have dark brown hair and I started turning gray 3 years ago. I started dying my hair with box dye. I haven't put box dye on my hair in 3 months and I want to do a bleach bath. I have at least two inches of gray hair at the roots. My question is should I just put the bleach bath on all my hair or should I just put it on the ends first? Also, is 3 months of not dying my hair and putting deep conditioning treatments on it playing safe before bleach bath ?
Hey Michele! What is the end goal with the bleach bath?
I wanted to lighten my hair without bleach, but I think this might help being that I have color in my hair already and really want to get rid of this red in my hair
YES! So (hair dye)color won't lift (dye) color- check out this video for more info. But you will need to remove that previous color with either bleach or a color remover th-cam.com/video/c1j30QLMNgU/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck on your hair journey, and keep me posted!
I have natural level 5/6 brown hair that I have been coloring closer to a level 4 for a while. Recently I switched to a deep brown red (around level 5) but it’s not showing great with the darker brown.
Would a bleach wash get the old darker deposits out so my next round of brown/red shows better?
So sorry for the delayed response! I should be quick to respond going forward. I am incorporating youtube response time into my daily schedule! This should work for what you are trying to accomplish. Let me know if this helps and if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching and commenting! Again- SO sorry for the delay- I will be more prompt going forward!
I wish my head twisted like the exorcist like the mannequin. It would make dying my hair so much easier.
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward.
My thoughts: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA I AM ROFL- favorite comment like EVER!! You right tho!
I’m trying to lighten my hair up with out damaging so I can do a pink and purple color. But I don’t want super bright colors
This should work well for that because as long as you aren't doing a pastel the hair does not have to be super light. Keep in mind that the color you lift to will affect how the fashion color looks when you out it on top. Example- If it's orange your pink may come out more rose gold or the purple may looks more pink(esh). Let me know how you hair turns out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
How long do you leave it on the hair for
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue.
My thought- This is probably an annoying answer, but I always just watch it and rinse based off of when I think it has done what I want it to or is no longer lifting. For me, that is typically anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Thanks for watching!
I have colored my hair with 20 gr 4N + 15 gr 5A with 10 vol all over. Before that the ends have always been dyed with the exact same colour except I used 1.9% developer. My question is how light can I get my hair by using a bleach bath? Preferably I want to reach a level 7 and put a 7.11 or 7.01 on it, so a cool tone
Hey Marit! Sorry for this very delayed response still struggling to find the balance between salon work, home life, and youtube. My intention going forward is to be able to check daily for comments! I can't give you a specific amount of lift you will achieve with a bleach bath because everyone's hair lifts differently. I would not try to achieve more than about 2 levels of lift with the shampoo cap technique. You might be better off applying bleach/developer all over on dry hair. Regardless of the bleaching technique that you decide on it will NOT lift to a cool color, especially at a level 7/8. So you will want to tone it after lifting. Remember the color wheel- Blue tones out orange, violet for yellow, green for red. I will link my full playlist for DIY Color below along with the video on applying bleach to dry hair. Let me know how it turned out, and if you have any more questions! Again, so sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for watching, commenting, and supporting my channel!

I did this over the weekend, I need one more lift to be able to tone it to my desired color! How long should I wait to do a bleach wash again??
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue.
My thoughts: That is a hair health judgment call that I can't do for you, but since it is diluted most of the time you can do it the same day. Just pay attention to elasticity/feel, and make sure to deep condition! How long did you end up waiting and how did it turn out?
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!!!! How often can I do this? I’d like to use this method to gradually lift my lengths and roots as they grow out. I’m a natural light brown (level 7?) and got my hair to an orange 8ish, then ‘toned’ with Demi permanent color. There’s no permanent color in my hair. Can I do this when my roots grow out to lighten everything (I plan to use Demi permanent to do a shadow root)? I don’t know if I should leave the roots out for a few minutes so they don’t get hot, or just saturate everything.
Hey Amanda! Sorry for the delayed response! I should be quick to respond going forward. I am incorporating youtube response time into my daily schedule! it sounds like you could probably skip the bleach wash step and only apply color to your roots if you are just trying to do a shadow root. No need to lift then deposit! Let me know if that helps/ if I understood your question and goal correctly! Also thanks for watching and commenting!
@@TheReelRae thank you so much for your response! I actually do want to gradually lift/lighten everything. I included the shadow root information to clarify how I will combat the orange roots since I’d like to just do a bleach wash every once in a while until I like the level my hair reaches.
@@mandy7982 I would just do it as needed then- Maybe one every4-6 weeks if you want to go slow and steady. You can do it more frequently if it's feeling good. Just pay attention to how your hair is feeling and looking heath-wise. :) Also don't forget the power of purple or blue-tinted shampoo/conditioner to help combat warm tones.
@@TheReelRae that sounds great! Should I start with the ends and process the roots for a shorter amount of time so they aren’t ‘hot,’ or just saturate everything at once?
@@mandy7982 so this technique is meant to be quick and easy- for that reason I would say to just do it all at once. You will want to get it on as quickly as possible. If you want to do an all over bleach application on dry hair I find it much easier to do a lower volume on the roots then bump the volume up a little for the ends. Applying to ends before the roots ends in a tangle mess- at least for me anyway! Don’t forget to pay attention to how your hair is feeling health wise! 💖
My daughters hair was dyed to a 4n using Demi permanent with the firefight of it fading over time. It hasn’t faded at all and she wants it to be a medium chocolate brown. Do you think a soap cap is a good idea for this? I’m only concerned about getting an even lift since there is color on her mids and ends. It was colored about 3 months ago. I did lighten in foils a couple of weeks prior to that but she decided she wanted to go back dark. So there’s the back story lol! Also I figure I’ll have to tone but really need to see what level she lifts to first.
*fore thought if fading lol - stupid autocorrect
I'M SO SORRY about the very delayed response! It has been a super busy couple of weeks for me- I generally try to respond much faster! Her hair probably super soaked up that 4n since those pieces were pre-lightened a thirsty! I think the easiest way to lift it up, if it's just mids to ends and only needs to come up a couple levels, is to apply on dry hair with a 10vol. That way you can be intentional about where it's going. Then when you apply the medium brown I would choose a shade a little lighter than your actual goal in case those ends super soak up the color. I hope this helps! Let me know how her hair project is coming along, again I am so sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for watching!
auto-correct is always getting me!!!
My hair was brown and I dyed it burgundy with box dye but I'm pretty sure the box was mislabeled because my hair came out dark purple/black. I let it lighten for months and tried to dye it the red/burgundy I wanted and nothing happened. Will this lighten my hair enough to dye it burgundy?
Hey Caitlyn! So sorry for the delayed response! I should be quick to respond going forward. I am incorporating youtube response time into my daily schedule!

Music is very distracting and annoying.

Hi! :) my whole head was a level 8-9 till around feb this year and we decided to go for a bright copper in the salon, they filled my hair with a brown (apparently because they didn't want the copper to fade quickly) then put the copper over it, the color came out as a dark brown because the filler just stuck to my hair :( I never actually ended up with the copper color I wanted as my hair ended up stuck dark brown, I decided to give up on it - because my hair was already pretty damaged and I just wanted my light hair back but I knew that wasn't gonna happen. My hair at the moment from where the beached parts were (the parts they coloured over) is like a light brown now, a level 6?? and a few inches of a level 4 (regrowth).. Im wanting to try bleach washing to get it all lighter gradually over a few applications over a period of time to maintain integrity. What is your recommendation on the most effective technique on applying the bleach wash to the different tones of my hair to achieve all over lightness & consistency in color?
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue.
My thoughts: It is so sad that you never got to live your copper ginger dreams! My concern with the gradual/gentle options is that those level 4 roots are going to turn an icky brass. In this situation I would try a bleach wash on the ends (if they feel up to it) then apply a permanent color all over. In theory, you could use a level 8 and 40 vol- it is going to lift warm. So if you have given up on that ginger dream then you will want to make sure to get a very ashy color to counteract that. What did you end up doing and how did your hair turn out?!
Thanks for watching!
I'm trying to lift black walmart color and color the hair a semi dark red. This would be the best way to lift without damaging hair, right?

My thoughts: Anytime you use chemicals there is going to be some level of damage. :( But I think this is a good option with minimal damage. Always pay attention to how your hair is feeling and make sure to give it a nice treatment after and or in between processes! What did you end up doing and how did it turn out?

If I’m doing a bleach bath to even put a permanent purple and I have about an inch of regrowth. How should I go about the roots
Hey Dawn! So sorry for the delayed response! I should be quick to respond going forward. I am incorporating youtube response time into my daily schedule! it really depends on how much you're trying to lift up to prepare your hair for the purple- It might be better to do an all-over bleach application on dry hair. That REALLY depends on how much you are needing to lift tho. Another option depending again on the end goal and your starting place is to just leave the roots alone and do no bleach which could give you a deeper shade on your roots- kind of like a shadow root. Let me know if this helps and if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching and commenting! Again- SO sorry for the delay- I will be more prompt going forward!
Hi 👋I have done this method you shared with us thanks 😊very much. Know my hair came out kind of gold color( I had before light brown )I want to get nice light blonde can I repeat the process or I can use a toner my favorite color is redken 09P. Please help 🙏 😊thanks 🌷🌷🌷
Sorry for the delayed response. Now that the salon is busy again I am working on figuring out how to maintain my TH-cam time better. If your hair still feels good I would say that it should be fine to do another round and then tone once you get a little more of that orange out. Lifting past the orange makes it way easier to tone! I hope this helps! Let me know what you end up doing and how it turns out! ☺
Okay I will 👍thanks
helo, so I highlited my hair at home and somehow I left some parts processing more, I used box dye to tonne, I ended up loving the parts that I left the bleach on More then the other parts, so my question is if I use this method on the darker parts will it changes my natural color where I don't have bleach or only effects the highlights, sorry for my bad english.
Firstly, I am so sorry for the delayed response! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue.
My thoughts: Although this is a diluted version of bleach please remember that you are still using bleach. The answer depends on how dark your hair is, this method is only going to give you a little lift. Since it's applied all over it will also lift those previously highlighted pieces as well, and then you will have to reapply the permanent color. What did you end up doing and how did it turn out?
Thank you for watching!
I am wanting to remove a dark violet color from hair that was previously colored a preferred cinnamon color. I mistakenly used the violet color to cover her new growth and then bring it to the ends for the last 10 minutes but violet was the wrong color for the new growth. It should have been the cinnamon. 🥴
I have given her a shampoo cap application on her last visit and will reapply another shampoo cap at her next visit 3 weeks from now until all of the violet is removed avoiding the roots which can be difficult - avoiding the roots that is. Please advise if I'm on the right track to getting back to the color that I prefer - cinnamon.

My thoughts- It sounds like you were on the right track, I bet it had faded out naturally by that next visit. I might suggest putting color on it to counter the violet if it was still hanging on at that next 3 week appointment. What ended up happening? I hate that I let you down by not keeping up with my comments. :(
Thanks for watching!
I have locs and I just want to take my time and lighten them little by little

My thoughts: I think this would work, but I worry that it would be really fussy to get all of the shampoo suds and chemicals out. I hate to say this, but I might actually suggest trying a sun in spray or a lemon juice type thing. I am going to add this to my new content idea list! What did you end up doing and how did it turn out?

i dyed my hair red a while ago and i’m trying to take it blonde. i bleached it once and now my hair is more of a pinky blonde/rose gold? idk i think i need a bleach bath to get the rest of the color out
My first thought is to be patient with your hair. Removing all that color is a journey that typically takes a few rounds. Make sure to pay attention to how your hair is feeling as you are working towards your blonde goal. Toners and tinted shampoo/conditioner can help reduce some of the unwanted colors on the way. It does sound like a bleach bath would help to remove some more of that warm color. Also make sure to do a nice deep condition after each process. Thanks for watching! Let me know how it turns out and if you have anymore questions!
how many times can you apply it in one session? does it depend on the persons hair?
If you're trying to get a lot of lift it may be a better idea to apply to dry hair- As far as how many times you can process your hair in on session, it truly depends on how your hair is reacting. Always lean on the side of caution! Here's a bleach video

So I recently went from maybe a level 4 brown to lots of highlights and unfortunately the front of my hair around the face is still pretty orange and I hate it could I use this method to lighten it a little more ?? I wouldn't mind if it lighted up the dark a little but this brassiness has got to go !!!

I would not use this method on your hair because it is very likely to pull that brown up to a nice brassy stage while pulling your current brassiness up. What did you end up doing? Also, thanks for watching and commenting!

I have a lady with white roots and box dye dark brown on the ends . Would a couple of bleach baths get it lighter ? Obviously not white
For sure, depending on the end goal it may be better to just do a full bleach application, or foil highlights then emulsify the bleach from the highlights in the shampoo bowl. Let me know what you end up doing and how it works out!! Thanks for watching, I hope this helps!
Doing the back section twice was confusing, the text bubble wasn’t clear - so only do the back section twice if you are performing this on a mannequin, and once (or twice if you are careful) on real hair/yourself? Also can this technique be applied to virgin hair?

This technique can be used on virgin hair, although there are probably better options depending on what you are trying to accomplish. How many rounds also depends on the goal/health of your hair. I hope this helps. ( I will go back and take a better look at this video and probably make a new version with a little more clarity) Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TheReelRae oh no worries!! I actually just ended up deciding to make an appt & got done in the salon. Although, I still want to learn how to bleach/foil/highlight on myself. But we’ll see. Thanks for getting back to me!
Will this help if I have patches of black still in my hair that I missed ?

It would help some, but I think the best solution would be to touch up that spot with a fresh round of bleach/color. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Can you use purple shampoo to mix for like as pre tone
Sorry for the very delayed response! Yes you can, although I feel like it would be a waste of good shampoo since the bleach will basically eat thru it. Let me know how it goes!!! Thanks for watching!
How many times would you recommend to do a bleach bath in one day ?
It really depends on the integrity of the hair, you can do multiple assuming that the hair is not already damaged prior to the first one. Check elasticity and overall feel to make that judgment call. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
If doing top only not underneath ? How to protect underneath hair ?
I would say apply very carefully and maybe have someone help you! Maybe try braiding and covering the bottom part with saran wrap. I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching!
I have a literal hair disaster going on. I went to a salon to get dark blue. I had previously self done red. The stylist lifted just a bit of the red from my hair then put blue over it. I was happy but I eventually couldn’t have blue hair anymore. So I went to a salon to get the blue out (at this point it faded to greenish blue already). I told them I just don’t want black hair but I want to go to a brownish color that I can slowly lighten over time. She put a permanent black dye over top of my hair without stripping any of that fashion color out. I complained to her and the owner so she “put a toner” over my hair that was level 1 it was a warm colored toner so my hair was black with a tinted red feel to it. Since then I’ve had a different stylist slowly using color remover/color oops (not bleach) and my hair is a weird brownish green now. Probably a level 4 or 5 now and I just want this fashion color out of my hair so I can have hair that’s one color again before my wedding next year. I dyed my hair blue in June of 2020. So I have about 6 inches of regrowth that is virgin. Should I just do a bleach bath over my mids and ends? Cause I’m really considering going back to red. Before this journey I always did my own hair and I’ve had more problems since I started going to salons. I’m so frustrated please help.
WOW!! I am SUPER sorry for your salon experiences and for this very delayed response! I have been dealing with a leaky roof/mold insanity and tryin to move out of my house before the mold ruined more of my things. Anyways- I am moved and ready to be more prompt with my responses. Since you posted this 2 weeks ago, I guess my first question is- Have you done anything else to your hair since posting this?
@@TheReelRae no I haven’t done anything other than regular hair care. And I should add I almost never put heat on my hair and use regular hair masks and treatments to try and keep my hair as healthy as possible.
@@nicolette889 What color is your natural? Without seeing your hair my current thoughts are that using red as you mentioned is a GREAT idea. With the color wheel, we know that red cancels green. It might even be worth trying a color depositing shampoo/conditioner. I like this KERACOLOR brand that I will add a link for. The beauty of this option is that it's not going to be damaging, hopefully, it cancels out the green but if it gets weird it will fade quickly. Assuming this works, give it a couple weeks to make sure the green is gone. Then it should be easier to get a nice even color. I would put the keracolor on your hair dry and avoid new growth.

@@TheReelRae thank you! Naturally my hair is a super light brown and I have natural red undertones in my hair. I haven’t seen my natural color in like 12 years 😂 but after about 2 inches of regrow that it starts to lighten back up from the sun to my natural color again.
@@nicolette889 keep me posted!! Also congrats on the wedding! 💖🎉 or I guess the proper term would be best wishes- I’m engaged as well and that’s one of the many many things I’ve learned so far! 😂
Hi my hair is dark brown and I dyed it red. Didn’t did anything! Still brown w a red tint. I want to do this rinse hoping to
Lighten my hair a shade or two . Can I apply red color Immediately after or do I need to wait a week or two?

However, you can totally apply color right after. Always pay attention to how your hair is feeling though! I hope it turned out beautifully! Thanks for watching!
My client requested a pull through to refresh her ends. I did that and now she hates it. I suggested highlights to brighten up her face and she's not one for dimension apparently. My first thought was a soap cap but I haven't done one since beauty School. I came to youtube to make sure I was remembering correctly. I'm hoping it pulls just a little bit of color out to lighten her up a bit.

My thoughts: You could even try a mix of bleach and water no shampoo or developer, this works wonders for a toner that hair super absorbed! I have totally been there tho :( that can be frustrating for you and your client! Did this do the trick? Is everyone back to being happy?!!

My toner made my blonde hair to dark is it best to put this bleach shampoo cap on wet hair I don't want to damage my hair and how long would I leave it on I heard fresh lemon and baking soda and conditioner mix works to let me know what way to go here thanks
Sorry for the delay! I had to take a content-creating break and I totally dropped the ball on my comments. New content is coming soon, and I will do my absolute best to reply more promptly going forward. I am going to guess that you have already resolved this issue. If not, I would start with a clarifying shampoo/ you can also add baking soda to your regular shampoo for an old-school deep cleanse. I am not sure about the lemon juice, if you tried that how'd it go?
In the salon when I need to do a quick toner removal bleach powder is mixed with water and no developer will typically pull it right out. Keep in mind that you are still using bleach.
Regardless of the technique you use(or used), I would make sure to give your hair a nice deep conditioning!

A client has almost natural black hair Asian lady she wants a real warm bright red/ purple colour. So I need atleast 4 shades lift lighter. Her hair is virgin. What’s the best method to lift ?
I am way late responding, but you could probably just use hair color and 40 volume developer. When in doubt, do a test strand!
I am now grey all over and since lockdown I did not colour my hair due to a breakout of dermatitis from a FAKE shampoo I bought from amazon UK. I usually used a medium blond but I do half a tube of colour to a bottle of developer because the colour is too dark otherwise ( this is box colour by Schwarzkopf - Colour Expert Medium Blond 8.0 which has Omegaplex and Hyaluronic acid in the formula. I now have regrowth about 4 inches and I tried a colour remover about 6 weeks ago but it did not do anything even though my hair is very cores and puros and lifts quickly when colouring it. I wanted to do a bleach wash but I am worried I might have a flare up of the dermatitis. So I decided to buy a color 10 - 2 light cool blond with 3 levels of lift, I will patch test first and hopefully it will be OK. I am hoping to lift it enough and then use a toner to make it all grey.
Hey LizzieWhiz! 1- This is why I am all the time telling people to be careful about buying beauty products from Amazon! I am so sorry that happened! 2- The hair left over from past hair colors is medium blonde? What tone? 3- The goal is to blend natural gray with ends that were colored before? AND if you have already followed thru with your plan, how did it turn out?
SO sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for watching, and supporting my channel!! 💙
@@TheReelRae No I did not follow through with the plan. I now know I can't lift as previous box colour with another box colour. I was looking to use a high lift tint to lift the colour out but I think bleach will work better. Maybe I wall go and get it done at the hairdressers. The tone is not dark but somewhere between a 9 and an 8. I never used a full rube of colour, only half so it was a 2 to 1 ratio of developer to colour giving me lighter colour than the box colour. The colour is always darker than the photo on the box.
@@LizzieWhiz as a hairdresser I always support that option- you are correct that color won’t lift color. Depending on what color your previous color was they(or you if it’s a diy) may be able to tone it enough to make it blend. You can even call and book a consultation to figure out options at your salon! Good luck and keep me posted! 😃

will this work to lighten very dark lowlights? my hair was blonde and I went to the salon to get some lowlights to break it up a bit. She added way too many and now im a brunette with highlights instead a blonde with lowlights.. so sad about this.

My thoughts- Oh man! That is a bummer! I bet the low lights probably faded out pretty quickly on their own. The next option, use a clarifying shampoo and if that still is not enough I would do this technique but with bleach and water, no developer, THEN if that does not work do another round with the developer. OR you can call your stylist and see if she is willing to add some more highlights or do a little bleach bath for you. What did you end up doing?!

That silver and grey can be tough. Especially if you are someone whose hair just naturally wants to be warm. To get there you really need to get past that stubborn orange stage. What is the current status of your hair journey and how is your hair feeling?

My thoughts: This could work for that since its not a lot of lift. I would probably just use bleach double 10 vol and apply like hair color with bowl and brush because it will give you more control. You will still probably want to tone and deep condition afterwards. What did you end up doing and how did it work out?!

I have about 6 in of new growth and want to lighten the new growth… is a beach bath ok ?
I would do an all-over application on dry hair. Keep in mind that your roots will lift faster than the rest because of the heat coming from your scalp. So you will either want to use a lower volume on roots to about an inch out, then use a higher volume on the remainder. OR you can also apply the same volume all over if you apply to mid to ends first then go back and apply roots to about that one-inch mark. Make sure you are supersaturating and once the bleach is fully applied use a hair cap to keep everything warm and wet. I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@TheReelRae the bottom part is about a level 8 …. Is it ok to put the bleach bath on it? Or should I do my best at getting the top then roots and bottom … ? Thank you so much
@@TheReelRae and the top is about a 4
@@Barbie08081 I would apply the bleach on dry hair to the new growth- then when you go to rinse it out get everything wet and let the bleach/bleach water from the root application sit on those ends for a few minutes. Use your (gloved) hands to work it into the hair. If you feel like they need a little more after rinsing then (if your hair is still feeling good) do a bleach wash.

So I’m a natural white blonde. And have always hated it cuz it made me look so young and like an alien. Well I started dying it, red purple black. At about 16- I7 I wanted to go back and back blonde. And it completely killed my hair. 30inches gone I had to cut it to above my shoulder. Some stuff in my life happened and I went back to black or very dark brown. Now I’m in my mid 20s and I’m tired of dying my roots all the time I wanna jus do a honey brown and let my roots take over. My only dilemma is I don’t want my loose my 30inches again.! Tried color removers and they don’t really work so this is next. Super nervous 😬 going to probably use 20 or 30 volume.

My hairdresser suggested a 'shampoo cap' to help open my hair follicles to grab onto more hair dye. My hair is pink but fading and will not grab much color anymore. Is this process the same?
Yes! Freshly bleached hair will absorb more of those fun colors! Since fashion colors are not mixed with developer they don't have anything to help push them into the hair. Which is why that pre-opened/freshly bleached hair absorbs better. You could also try doing a darker shade of pink? What did ya'll end up doing?
I haven't actually done anything yet since I wasn't sure how to go about it. I have been trying to watch a ton of videos and reaching out to people (with little luck). The pink is supposed to be an almost slightly dilute bubblegum pink. Right now it is a bleached looking blonde with some hints of pink where it will still pick up from my conditioner ha. I'm nervous of damaging my hair so trying to get all the info
@@rileysherman3497 it looks like the brand pulp riot (color) is available for purchase via Amazon. I really like this brand. You could try applying this at home. It does not need developer and is conditioner based so no worries about damage! Apply to clean, dry hair in small sections making sure to saturate thoroughly. Process at least 30min but it can sit for however long, as it is conditioner based. When you rinse, don't shampoo just rinse with cool water until the water runs clear.
** When you say bleach blonde are we talking like white blonde, or is there some yellow or orange still in the mix? If it has some yellow or orange you will just want to go darker to cover. Fashion color is like a stain, so if your hair isn't light enough for the shade you apply then it wont show up.
*As always with my advise, when is doubt do a test strand!
I hope that helps. Keep me posted!
More white than yellow but this is not freshly bleached, so my roots are showing. The pink on 80% of my hair has seemed to wash out almost perfectly whereas it still picks up on the rest. Which is why my hairdresser was curious about a bleach cap, but I was worried about doing too much bleaching (if that makes sense).
I will look at pulp riot. Recently I have been using Artic Fox
hi pls help me iwent a salon to color my white hair into medium brown but it turned out so black i want it to be light can i used this method
thanks
So sorry for the delayed response! I had a roof/mold crisis. Have you resolved this since it's been so long or are you still looking for advice?
@@TheReelRae
hi im still looking & waiting for your advise thank you🙂
@@miaricamara6221 My advice without seeing your hair would be to start with this method- that does not use any developer- then if that's not enough then do the full-blown bleach wash. You will probably want to use something to even out the color after that. Since your hair turned out SO dark the first time your hair is probably very porous. So if you decide to add a new brown after the black color lifts up I would use a demi-permanent- and use a color that is at least one level lighter than your goal. You can also try using a brunette color-enhancing shampoo/conditioner to be safe! Let me know how it goes and if you have any more questions!!

I bleached my hair to a yellow blonde, put Ion Brights semi-permanent magenta in it for 25mins... the whole top of my head is bright pink, but the back and sides are splotchy, even though I fully coated my head... how can I fix this?

Thank you, this has helped me
I have 26" of hair, I plan on doing a bleach wash cause the bottom half is temp red dye an the other half is virgin (dirty blond) I love the dark root compared to the fire red, so I plan on doing this but ombre. So I plan on using 3 different developers or time it differently for each section
That sounds like a good plan- time would probably be the best bet. Also if you have a friend you can get to help you apply it that would make it easier since your hair is so long! Thanks for watching and commenting! Let me know how your hair turns out!
Timing ?
This is more of a watch and see kind of thing vs. an absolute timing. Always pay attention to how the hair and scalp are feeling in addition to how the color is looking. Let me know if you have anymore questions! I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and sorry for the delayed response!

Overtones hair turned my blonde locs gray

@@LocQueen that gray will typically fade to more of a platinum blonde after a few washes.
