I agree BlondMe is fantastic. I am amateur not a hairdresser and I have shoulder length very dark brown hair and I am now a 10 blonde for 1 year. (my hair is colour of inside of peeled banana/pale blonde) I use Schwarzkopf as follows: Hair Bleaching- 20 vol Blondme 1: 1 ratio with BlondeMe 9 powder 8 scoops/Tablespoon Powder 8 scoops Liquid (I do not weigh it as it's equal 1:1 proportions. 35 minutes= perfect in winter temperature with shower cap on. Check at various intervals. Toner - Igora Royal 6% (20 vol) Developer (Red bottle oil based) Igora Royal color tube 9.0 1:1 ratio 35 minutes with shower cap on. The toner also gives me that extra 1 to 2 levels lift. Result: pale buttery blonde. Very happy using these products no issues. Preparation is key. Section section section! Use duckbill clips and use small sections of hair. If your arms get tired easily then have a friend help to do the application of the bleach as it needs to get on fast on both sides to be even.
I'd this means yoi bleach each section and wash each section off? 😢 I find your comment helpful. Why do I need a toner if I'm using Schwarkpof developer and powder?
@cheekymonkeygirl3378 I section hair first. I apply Bleach/Dev to all sections and subsection (you subdivide that section with a rattail comb). Then leave desired time with shower cap on. Then I wash it out thoroughly. After it has dried completely, or the next day I then apply toner. I do not section for toner. I apply toner all over wearing gloves obviously. If I don't apply toner my hair is very pale, like I said it is colour of inside of a banana peel. The toner fills in the hair and makes it buttery light gold toned. Toner gives it dimension.
Thank you very much for your description! But I wonder why you use a ratio 1:1 though according to the manufacturer the 9+ powder should only be used from 1:1,5 to 1:2,5 ...
Yes yes yes!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you 🥰 Best wishes from Kiev, Ukraine!🇺🇦 We are in war, but we still want to be beautiful ❤ Love your videos, I watched all of them.
I swore off bleaching my own hair 4 years ago. I promised my hairdresser that she is the only one to bleach my hair. I do my own semi permanent fashion colors. I watched this video anyway just because I ❤ you Hair Buddha
Thanks for this Hair Buddha! I watch a lot of colour corrections from Bobby Hair studio it's one of her specialties. She loves the Blonde Me products and one thing she preaches is FRESH BOWLS! Don't just mix a big bowl of lightner and expect the same result from bleach that's been sitting in your bowl developing for 30 minutes as you would get with freshly mixed product.
I wonder how many bleach fail videos you will have after your very thorough awesome tutorial !!! No one has ever provided this much generous knowledge in the world of u tube . ❤️HB the rockstar of bleaching 🌟
Today I tried BlondMe 9+ bleach powder, with 20 volume and the ash additive on my daughter's hair. She has natural virgin hair at the moment (we've done a split dye in the past and kept it good for a year...yes I was doing her roots every 4 weeks). She wanted some lighter sections in her hair so she could do the Calico hair (mostly her natural brown with some ash blonde and small sections of apricot...a light orange). Mixed up the bleach mix to your formula (only did half a batch) and used foils and she now has her very light ash blonde sections she wanted and her hair doesn't even feel like it's damaged at all. Worth the extra money to get such amazing results with just one application. Love this video and I love the reaction video's too.
I do not plan to bleach my hair, but your Video is very interesting. Thank you for explaining how the pigments in the hair work. So much new information for me.

My hair is still too damaged to bleach myself, but after summer I will try it myself with all your tips. 😊 Thanks a lot for all the info! This really helped me understand what is currently going wrong, even though I'm always with the same hairdresser, and next time I go, I will ask them if we could implement some of your tips in order to protect my hair better.
I know you are talking fast because the length of the video, but you are an excellent teacher. I am a cosmetology instructor myself, but color was always my weakness. I love listening to your videos and I think you are performing a great service for people. I would love to be a fly on the wall of your salon when you are teaching. 🙃🤗😁
I do the 3 sections method (2 sides and 1 scalp) for 25 years now and am one of 'these home people'. Also I use 2 different developpers on lengths and roots, put oil on my points and work in several steps. I prepare 9 main sections and several subsections before bleaching because I have no assistance and too much hair. 😅 I do mèches or sometimes balayage, never all hair, so I always go nuts everytime I do my hair. It takes hoooours. Sometimes I think about going to a hairdresser, but simply can't ever afford it (a good professional - not a hairbleacher - is very expensive in the country I live in).
I remember ruining my hair with box bleach when I was a teenager. I feel like it was a rite of passage for people my age, before TH-cam had any hair tutorials; Gen Z and future generations are so fortunate to have information like this readily available now. I've learnt so much from this channel.
@@saneminotaur Box Bleach or Box Haircolor was the only choice for us as teenagers - Beauty Supplies like SALLY did not exist. Lady Clairol Ultra Blue or Maxi Blonde or L’Oreal Super Blue Liquid Oil Lighteners.

Not me as an African black woman with natural 4C hair, with no intention of ever bleaching my hair being heavily invested in this video and taking mental notes 😂…
Very good explanation, easy to follow along. You definitely touched on alot of key elements that alot of people seem to ignore or misunderstanding. Your passion for your craft also shines through which has always been a plus for all your videos ❤
I've never used blonde me. I started using Bond Bar with 20V and I really, really like it. I'm a natural 7-ish blonde so I don't have to go too crazy to get platinum.
AMAZINGLY clear and useful video as I am contemplating using the BlondeMe system since I havent bleached since COVID hit. I just stopped and grew it all out, so I'm back to virgin hair now.... YAYZ!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Such a great tool to help us home-bleachers! God Bless fam❣️
Just wanted to thank you so much You have helped me do through the journey of greying brown to silver with no damage . It’s now looking really good with regrowth looking good ❤❤❤❤❤ I appreciate you so much
I'm so glad to hear that your journey to silver has been a success! Your hair transformation sounds amazing, and I'm thrilled to have been a part of it.
I used to bleach my hair to platinum regularly. I keep my hair quite short. About 15 years ago I realized I was completely grey. Now I occasionally do a bit of a tint with semi permanent colour mixed with conditioner. But mostly I leave it and get compliments ALL the time! It suits my skin tone perfectly. So good to know about these options now! Sharing this video!!!
I was a hair model once. I am level 4 brown, natural. It took hours, lots and lots of bleaching and treatments in between. It was a fun experience but a very long day.
Love this! Most informative, yet straight forward tutorial I’ve come across! Would you consider doing in depth tutorials on different application/placement techniques? How to properly highlighting and balayage etc? Also how best to touch up the regrowth with those techniques?
Ive been bleacing my hair at home for a while now. After experimenting with vol. I found out i can get my roots from a level 6 to a level 10 with 7 vol with blonde me. The nice thing about using low vol is that i don't get any banding even if i have long roots and slapp bleach on all of it at the same time. I just let the hair bake for a longer time and I end up with a nice, even, pale yellow result ready for my green fashion color. Works every time.
Great tutorial HB. I'm totally amateur at this but started bleaching and toning my hair during lockdown. Watched a few YT videos including yours and I'm getting pro-like results using Blond Me range. Saves me so much time and money and my hair is in much better condition compared to when I was having it done at the salon. Thank you for your educational and entertaining content!
BlondMe is all my stylist uses - gives the best results and keeps the hair soft. She always gets me some from the beauty supply warehouse she goes to so I can keep a little bit at home when I want to redo my teenager’s ends (he has his ends bleached to do different temporary colors) when we can’t make it in to the salon with him as she is a decent drive away and he’s always been real finicky with how his hair is touched (very sensitive scalp). She showed me how to do extremely fine layers with sectioning it out and backcombing just a tiny bit to have it blend so it doesn’t give a harsh line … and it’s always turned out so well. The ends stay soft and shiny. Also smells really nice, too. I’ve always loved the smell of bleach powder mixed with developer, but the BlondMe stuff is kind of a fruity scent that isn’t overwhelming. Their toners are real lovely, too.
❤❤❤ from one hairdresser to another perfectly said you truly are the best I just love you we are forever learning much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ thank you for sharing your knowledge we appreciate you ❤️
By the way, this video is the best and most clear bleaching video I have ever watched. I really got the insight of the hair bleaching process. Thnks a lot
Fantastic explanations peeps and clients don’t realise what we have to do ❤I’ve been using 20vol for a couple of years now after using 30vol for like 30 years ohh my god ,game changer, thankyou for your knowledge 🎉
Once , when I was 19/20 I decided to bleach my own hair . As expected it turned out horrendous but thankfully my local stylist was available the next day to salvage my hair! I was orange/ yellow .. ended up being strawberry blonde. Never made the same mistake twice. I’ve recently gone ginger , through my stylist over a few months so my hair isn’t damaged by the stripper . My hair had 7 years worth of dark red box dye on it .
Oh my god I’m sooooo here for this!! I’ve been using blondeme since you said to years ago but I haven’t got a clue about the new stuff they’ve brought out! Thanks mr Buddha ❤❤❤
Received my Blondme bleach and developer today, I normally use Blondor. I cut and bleach my own hair. I have a pixie with an undercut. I normally use 30 vol. Developer, but now got 20 vol. Love watching your videos. I am from the UK.
Hair Buddha this vid is amazing! I've been bleaching at home for almost two years now and there is definitely a lot of misinformation out there. I still struggle with what is the best shampoo to rinse bleach from the hair and what are the best maintenance produtcs and its use order (what goes first and last). Could ypu please make a video about that? ❤❤❤❤
I have no plans to bleach my hair again because it’s so fine and breaks pretty easily now, I choose heat over colour. But still choose to watch this video to support hair Buddha 🎃🎃
Thanks so much for this video! I was wondering how to use the additives...and am well excited to try the new Blonde me products😊 Thanks so much for all your videos!You're Hair Guru - much appreciated - Podcast sounds exciting! Good luck!!
Ok, youve convinced me to stop using, well not quick blue coz im in Australia, think its called hi lift, but same thing. I loved learning from your other how to bleach video, took my time and got a great result. Ive decided to put my hair cut back into the hands of the professionals but will continue to bleach n colour my own hair coz i do such a great job, thanks to you! But definitely deserve to look after my hair with better products
Fascinating! I just had my hair done yesterday, highlights and low lights, 2 shades of blonde. I'd be too chicken to attempt something like that at home. 🐔 I really admire what you do, and enjoy your videos.
I find the video to be really instructive ! I wanna go from a mid brown to some shade of pink, so I have hope it could work... I'm just a little worried about the roots, I was wondering if you had maybe a video that could explain how to leave kind of a root but in a way that would still blend in with a regrowth ? For the people that are a little scared to touch their scalp like me. 😅 Thank you so much, have a nice day ! ❤
Got to say, I might be a boring person, but I think the theory is fascinating! Love learning about all of it and have def got better at doing my roots etc the more I learn, even if it’s way off from a proper hair dresser!x
@@hair-buddhaI love it! Been using 20vol with blondeme for a while now and would never go back! My husband does the back for me thankfully but think if I shout “use fine sections” at home again he might refuse to help anymore!😂😂 I’ve told him I’m gonna get him one of your T-shirts for his birthday!😂😂❤
Putting the mask on the ends of the hair to the test and see if it helps at the moment! Hoping it’s all ok!😂 obvs using my blondeme and 20vol! Trying a semi-permanent colour this time as well instead of a toner to see if my hair feels any healthier after with no developer in it! One day I’ll stop experimenting when I’ve finally got it all sussed!😂
Yessss. I'm tempted to maintain my blonde on my own since my hair lady messed up last time and overlapped my last root touch up and I had lots of breakage... I told myself, no more.... but now that my hair is back to "normal" im seeing how good it looks again 😆 ugh I'm so tempted to stay blonde before my roots grow out too much and it becomes a more expensive process
@Sparky.Sparky.BoomMan I'm sorry to hear about your breakage from the overlapping. Absolutely do it yourself or even better get a friend or family member to help. I've been to 5 different hairdressers over the past 2 years trying to find a good hairdresser. Too many hair fails, overlapping, breakage, uneven level, its embarrassed to go in public because it looks like i dont care about my hair. It can be traumatising.
Love your video, it is very detailed, interesting and understandable, nice 💐👍🏻. I learned clearly that I would not be skillful enough to this with all of my hair. Maybe I might try one of the toners, as far as I understood, this would not do much damage. Thank you dear hair Buddha.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I have been bleaching hair at home for the last year with no breakage thanks to your educational videos ❤. Would you please make a video on how to take short hair roots (regrowth) to white. Any tips for short hair will be very welcome.
My hair is mostly silver and white. I do have some of my natural light brown-mousy brown color in it (mostly in back and back sides). Because I have a long pixie, I can see when my hair grows out the patches of natural hair still there (I’m about 90% silver-white). So I will use a 20 volume or 10 volume on my hair to even out the patches then I tone it. I would say my hair is a level 10 on those natural patches because they come out yellow, not orange. Your videos are very informative and I have learned a lot doing my own hair from you and your recommendations. 🥰❤
I am waiting for this so long, only for you to post this after I got a gloss from the drugstore 😂😂😂😂 I guess I have to wait a little more. Thank you for this video
I have dark ash blonde hair and have been bleaching my hair for over 20 years... you definitely learn from your mistakes 🙈 I bleach my roots every 2 months with blond me bleach powder (new packaging now) and blond me 6%... first the front of my head for 40-45 minutes, rinse and then the back of my head for 40-45 minutes! For me it's less stressful this way and I don't have too much bleach on my scalp at once (I once had a short phase where I had an allergic reaction, it might have been because of the no-name brand at the time)! Then I put a toner on and finally my pastel pink (directions with conditioner)...
My natural strawberry blonde hair is now coming in brown and grey (65yrs)... DIY my hair needs have used semi and demi colring products but still interested in bleaching... growing out a buzzcut to pixie lengths
Watching and seeing the colour chart i can see i'm a level 5/6 now natural. And when i look at my baby pictures i'm a level 9...wow i had very light hair. I asked my hubby what he thought of the really light blond colour and he liked it but only if it is done by a professional 😁. He heard you often enough screeming "take small sections" to know that i should not attempt it to do it allone and i agree.
Sir, you are fantastic, and I enjoy your videos. You are so informative. That baldie looks amazing on you. It's only a select few that have a perfect shaped head for it. It's been about two years since I've gone blonde, so i used the Lightening Kit for Dark and Lovely, and my hair looks a hot ass mess. My hair is 3c-4a. Owee! Something went left somewhere, and now my roots are blonde, and the rest of it is orange. I'm dreadding having to correct it. It looks disgusting! Idk what happened. I did the middle to ends first, then the roots. 😩 The good thing is the elasticity and texture of my hair is still there. It did pretty good on not feeling like a brick.😂
This is a very thorough and very interesting video, thank you! I've been wanting to bleach my hair for a while and go ginger, but I'm still not sure if I'll do it. I have virgin hair, hip-length, Asian texture, it is pretty heavy and very dark, almost black, so I'm afraid of ruining it. I guess I'll wait and see if I'm better off getting a wig lol, I'm still not sure!!
I obviously have no say, but nothing will look better or be healthier than what nature gave you. I have fingertip length hair and I cannot imagine wasting all that work! I would vote wig, if I had a vote. I can only say I would regret it in your place.
I love to do fantasy colors in my hair and when I decide it’s time to bleach , blonde me it’s my go to. I have super dark hair and it will lift to a blonde (banana yellow color) so you have to be sure to keep an eye on it. But for gods sake , section, never overlap, and follow the mixing directions. It works beautifully.
Thank you for the kind words! Hair color theory can definitely be tricky, even for those with a license. It’s great to hear from someone with experience!
Thank you so much!! Since I've been following your account (including listening very carefully 😊) my hair colour is nearly perfect (it's platinum without any yellow). But one last question came into my mind: you showed how to apply on the lengths. But when do you do the roots/scalp? As I have very short hair I do not have so much trouble to blond me by myself. But I am curious regarding the roots. And thank you very much for your great video! Best regards from Munich.
Love the video. Very informative. I'm not sure about my under tones, so i was wondering if using the ash and the violet toners together 1:1 in the bleach mixture will be a good idea?
🙌🏼 thank you!! Love your videos, so informative! the theory and technical details are amazing; no other videos go there, or if they do it seems like they either dont know it well enough to teach to others or they just dont know period, and are repeating things they heard years ago but are only giving part of the information.., probably cause thats all they have or know I shouldn't say only you, craigs world of hair gets into the proper theory as well, but the two of you are literally the only ones. Others Ive found never explain the methods to the maddness and knowing the rational behind why things are done the way they are keeps my adhd brain from looking for "more effecient" ways..., (lets be honest, unless I understand why something is done a certain way i look for short cuts 😳😂 not cause im lazy but because I think its un necessarily time consuming) Thanks hairbuddah❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you find the theory and technical details helpful. Understanding the "why" behind the methods is so important, and I'm happy to provide that insight!
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🫶
I've been waiting for 5+ years for my hair to grow back to natural and now I really want to bleach them again 😂 I'm so conflicted!!
🤣
Totally normal 😃👍
Don’t do it. You will just regret it.
Go for it!
You have dark eyebrows so not too pale a blonde. Maybe a honey blonde/ brown,or just lighter brown highlights to add dimension..
I agree BlondMe is fantastic. I am amateur not a hairdresser and I have shoulder length very dark brown hair and I am now a 10 blonde for 1 year. (my hair is colour of inside of peeled banana/pale blonde)
I use Schwarzkopf as follows:
Hair Bleaching-
20 vol Blondme
1: 1 ratio with
BlondeMe 9 powder
8 scoops/Tablespoon Powder
8 scoops Liquid
(I do not weigh it as it's equal 1:1 proportions.
35 minutes= perfect in winter temperature with shower cap on. Check at various intervals.
Toner -
Igora Royal 6% (20 vol) Developer (Red bottle oil based)
Igora Royal color tube 9.0
1:1 ratio
35 minutes with shower cap on.
The toner also gives me that extra 1 to 2 levels lift.
Result: pale buttery blonde. Very happy using these products no issues.
Preparation is key. Section section section! Use duckbill clips and use small sections of hair. If your arms get tired easily then have a friend help to do the application of the bleach as it needs to get on fast on both sides to be even.

I do the 3 sections method (2 sides and 1 scalp) for 25 years now and am one of 'these home people'. Also I use 2 different developpers on lengths and roots, put oil on my points and work in several steps. I prepare 9 main sections and several subsections before bleaching because I have no assistance and too much hair. 😅 I do mèches or sometimes balayage, never all hair, so I always go nuts everytime I do my hair.

I bleach my roots every 4 weeks with Blonde me and have pale pink hair Thank You for your useful videos 🙏🏻👌🏻
BlondMe is all my stylist uses - gives the best results and keeps the hair soft. She always gets me some from the beauty supply warehouse she goes to so I can keep a little bit at home when I want to redo my teenager’s ends (he has his ends bleached to do different temporary colors) when we can’t make it in to the salon with him as she is a decent drive away and he’s always been real finicky with how his hair is touched (very sensitive scalp). She showed me how to do extremely fine layers with sectioning it out and backcombing just a tiny bit to have it blend so it doesn’t give a harsh line … and it’s always turned out so well. The ends stay soft and shiny.
Also smells really nice, too. I’ve always loved the smell of bleach powder mixed with developer, but the BlondMe stuff is kind of a fruity scent that isn’t overwhelming. Their toners are real lovely, too.
Very clear and understandable. I hope some people really follow what you have said. Great video.❤❤❤
I'm glad you found it clear! I hope it helps others as much as it helped you.
Perfect way to start my Monday! 👍🏻❤️
I'm glad to hear that! Mondays are all about setting the tone for the week, and I'm thrilled to be a part of yours!
❤❤❤ from one hairdresser to another perfectly said you truly are the best I just love you we are forever learning much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ thank you for sharing your knowledge we appreciate you ❤️
By the way, this video is the best and most clear bleaching video I have ever watched. I really got the insight of the hair bleaching process. Thnks a lot
I ditched the dye 12 weeks ago and spend 5 hours in the salon to incorporate my gray streak into the rest of my hair and did a big chop as wel.
I habe done it just like you said. 😊 now I am very very blond and my hair ist healthy. ❤ THANK YOU!
wow well done 👏
@@hair-buddha thank you so so much ❤️
Fantastic explanations peeps and clients don’t realise what we have to do ❤I’ve been using 20vol for a couple of years now after using 30vol for like 30 years ohh my god ,game changer, thankyou for your knowledge 🎉
It's hilarious that I just bought it a few weeks ago and still waiting for the right moment. You convinced me 😊
Once , when I was 19/20 I decided to bleach my own hair . As expected it turned out horrendous but thankfully my local stylist was available the next day to salvage my hair! I was orange/ yellow .. ended up being strawberry blonde. Never made the same mistake twice.
I’ve recently gone ginger , through my stylist over a few months so my hair isn’t damaged by the stripper . My hair had 7 years worth of dark red box dye on it .
Oh my god I’m sooooo here for this!! I’ve been using blondeme since you said to years ago but I haven’t got a clue about the new stuff they’ve brought out! Thanks mr Buddha ❤❤❤
Received my Blondme bleach and developer today, I normally use Blondor. I cut and bleach my own hair. I have a pixie with an undercut. I normally use 30 vol. Developer, but now got 20 vol. Love watching your videos. I am from the UK.
Hair Buddha this vid is amazing! I've been bleaching at home for almost two years now and there is definitely a lot of misinformation out there. I still struggle with what is the best shampoo to rinse bleach from the hair and what are the best maintenance produtcs and its use order (what goes first and last). Could ypu please make a video about that? ❤❤❤❤
You are such a good soul for doing this. 💕
Oh fun! I'm definitely not going to bleach my own hair, but it's fun to learn.
I am rocking my natural gray but love watching these “just in case”. lol
The baby chicken yellow is the best colour 😂
😂😂😂 Or 🥕🥕🥕 in my case.
I have no plans to bleach my hair again because it’s so fine and breaks pretty easily now, I choose heat over colour. But still choose to watch this video to support hair Buddha 🎃🎃
Thank you again. Thank you for many YEARS of instruction & help. ❤
I really appreciate your kind words! It's been an incredible journey, and I'm glad to have been a part of your learning experience.
Thanks so much for this video! I was wondering how to use the additives...and am well excited to try the new Blonde me products😊 Thanks so much for all your videos!You're Hair Guru - much appreciated - Podcast sounds exciting! Good luck!!
Thank you Hair Buddah for all your expert knowledge! Im saving this video!
Wow, you're a true professional 👏. Thanks for sharing us your useful information ❤
Thanks for all these tips i bleach my roots only with fine sections !! Evry six months but no problem i do vibrant pink so my hairs never broke off !!
Ok, youve convinced me to stop using, well not quick blue coz im in Australia, think its called hi lift, but same thing. I loved learning from your other how to bleach video, took my time and got a great result. Ive decided to put my hair cut back into the hands of the professionals but will continue to bleach n colour my own hair coz i do such a great job, thanks to you! But definitely deserve to look after my hair with better products
great video, trying to bleach my hair at home good and this was super helpful
Thank you, HB for this summary! I'm foing my hair many years now, and I love Blondme products, next time I will try to add violet to the bleach. ❤
Fascinating! I just had my hair done yesterday, highlights and low lights, 2 shades of blonde. I'd be too chicken to attempt something like that at home. 🐔 I really admire what you do, and enjoy your videos.
HB, you are a super teacher
Wonderful and informative tutorial. Thank you‼️
I find the video to be really instructive ! I wanna go from a mid brown to some shade of pink, so I have hope it could work... I'm just a little worried about the roots, I was wondering if you had maybe a video that could explain how to leave kind of a root but in a way that would still blend in with a regrowth ? For the people that are a little scared to touch their scalp like me. 😅
Thank you so much, have a nice day ! ❤
Got to say, I might be a boring person, but I think the theory is fascinating! Love learning about all of it and have def got better at doing my roots etc the more I learn, even if it’s way off from a proper hair dresser!x
It's awesome to hear that you're enjoying the theory behind it all! Learning definitely makes a difference, and practice makes perfect-keep it up!
@@hair-buddhaI love it! Been using 20vol with blondeme for a while now and would never go back! My husband does the back for me thankfully but think if I shout “use fine sections” at home again he might refuse to help anymore!😂😂 I’ve told him I’m gonna get him one of your T-shirts for his birthday!😂😂❤
Putting the mask on the ends of the hair to the test and see if it helps at the moment! Hoping it’s all ok!😂 obvs using my blondeme and 20vol! Trying a semi-permanent colour this time as well instead of a toner to see if my hair feels any healthier after with no developer in it! One day I’ll stop experimenting when I’ve finally got it all sussed!😂
Thank you for this video I am thinking of going to a salon and have been wondering what the process will be like.
Yessss. I'm tempted to maintain my blonde on my own since my hair lady messed up last time and overlapped my last root touch up and I had lots of breakage... I told myself, no more.... but now that my hair is back to "normal" im seeing how good it looks again 😆 ugh I'm so tempted to stay blonde before my roots grow out too much and it becomes a more expensive process
@Sparky.Sparky.BoomMan
I'm sorry to hear about your breakage from the overlapping. Absolutely do it yourself or even better get a friend or family member to help. I've been to 5 different hairdressers over the past 2 years trying to find a good hairdresser. Too many hair fails, overlapping, breakage, uneven level, its embarrassed to go in public because it looks like i dont care about my hair. It can be traumatising.
I have been wanting to due my own hair, thank you
Thank you for your comment! I'm thrilled to inspire you to take the plunge and try doing your own hair!
I feel like I'm getting a matter class right now 🥰
WOW .BEST Tutorial !!!! Thanks for your great videoxx
Love your video, it is very detailed, interesting and understandable, nice 💐👍🏻. I learned clearly that I would not be skillful enough to this with all of my hair. Maybe I might try one of the toners, as far as I understood, this would not do much damage. Thank you dear hair Buddha.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I have been bleaching hair at home for the last year with no breakage thanks to your educational videos ❤. Would you please make a video on how to take short hair roots (regrowth) to white. Any tips for short hair will be very welcome.
Love your videos! Your voice is so calming ❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find my voice calming-it's always nice to create a peaceful vibe for everyone.
Mr. Hair Budda, you are an amazing instructor. Thank you for sharing your great skills and knowledge! I learned some awesome tips!
Loved this video. Do more like this please! Thanks!
I have learnt so much from you already! So excited to improve my blonde routine. Thank you Hair Buddha 🫶
I appreciate your expertise 🦫🦅
So nice to see a video from this year, thank you
My hair is mostly silver and white. I do have some of my natural light brown-mousy brown color in it (mostly in back and back sides). Because I have a long pixie, I can see when my hair grows out the patches of natural hair still there (I’m about 90% silver-white). So I will use a 20 volume or 10 volume on my hair to even out the patches then I tone it. I would say my hair is a level 10 on those natural patches because they come out yellow, not orange. Your videos are very informative and I have learned a lot doing my own hair from you and your recommendations. 🥰❤
You explained it very clearly 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻thanks ❤
Great explanation that is also understood - thank you❣
I am waiting for this so long, only for you to post this after I got a gloss from the drugstore 😂😂😂😂 I guess I have to wait a little more. Thank you for this video
I have dark ash blonde hair and have been bleaching my hair for over 20 years... you definitely learn from your mistakes 🙈
I bleach my roots every 2 months with blond me bleach powder (new packaging now) and blond me 6%... first the front of my head for 40-45 minutes, rinse and then the back of my head for 40-45 minutes!
For me it's less stressful this way and I don't have too much bleach on my scalp at once (I once had a short phase where I had an allergic reaction, it might have been because of the no-name brand at the time)!
Then I put a toner on and finally my pastel pink (directions with conditioner)...
Thank you so much for these clear instructions and explanations. I sure appreciate your help so very much.🙏🏼
My natural strawberry blonde hair is now coming in brown and grey (65yrs)... DIY my hair needs have used semi and demi colring products but still interested in bleaching... growing out a buzzcut to pixie lengths
Watching and seeing the colour chart i can see i'm a level 5/6 now natural. And when i look at my baby pictures i'm a level 9...wow i had very light hair. I asked my hubby what he thought of the really light blond colour and he liked it but only if it is done by a professional 😁. He heard you often enough screeming "take small sections" to know that i should not attempt it to do it allone and i agree.
Sir, you are fantastic, and I enjoy your videos. You are so informative. That baldie looks amazing on you. It's only a select few that have a perfect shaped head for it. It's been about two years since I've gone blonde, so i used the Lightening Kit for Dark and Lovely, and my hair looks a hot ass mess. My hair is 3c-4a. Owee! Something went left somewhere, and now my roots are blonde, and the rest of it is orange. I'm dreadding having to correct it. It looks disgusting! Idk what happened. I did the middle to ends first, then the roots. 😩 The good thing is the elasticity and texture of my hair is still there. It did pretty good on not feeling like a brick.😂
This is so informative and you taught me so much!!! ❤❤
I love your how to videos! 😁😍😁
Thank you so much for your work! ❤
This is a very thorough and very interesting video, thank you! I've been wanting to bleach my hair for a while and go ginger, but I'm still not sure if I'll do it. I have virgin hair, hip-length, Asian texture, it is pretty heavy and very dark, almost black, so I'm afraid of ruining it. I guess I'll wait and see if I'm better off getting a wig lol, I'm still not sure!!
I obviously have no say, but nothing will look better or be healthier than what nature gave you. I have fingertip length hair and I cannot imagine wasting all that work! I would vote wig, if I had a vote. I can only say I would regret it in your place.
I love to do fantasy colors in my hair and when I decide it’s time to bleach , blonde me it’s my go to. I have super dark hair and it will lift to a blonde (banana yellow color) so you have to be sure to keep an eye on it. But for gods sake , section, never overlap, and follow the mixing directions. It works beautifully.
Thank you hair Buddha for the lovely video i have learned alot but were i live i never saw Blonde me bleach
Brilliant tips & thanks for sharing Hair Buddha ✂️🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to know the tips are resonating with you.
Thank you! This was very informative!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate how you explain the process. How do you feel about only lightening a level or two with a bleach bath?
Perfect
Very nicely done. I have a Cosmetology License, but haven't practices in 30 years. Hair color theory is difficult even for those of us trained.
Thank you for the kind words! Hair color theory can definitely be tricky, even for those with a license. It’s great to hear from someone with experience!
Thank you so much!! Since I've been following your account (including listening very carefully 😊) my hair colour is nearly perfect (it's platinum without any yellow). But one last question came into my mind: you showed how to apply on the lengths. But when do you do the roots/scalp? As I have very short hair I do not have so much trouble to blond me by myself. But I am curious regarding the roots. And thank you very much for your great video! Best regards from Munich.
Love the video. Very informative. I'm not sure about my under tones, so i was wondering if using the ash and the violet toners together 1:1 in the bleach mixture will be a good idea?
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS❤❤❤❤ Been waiting for this
I'm happy
🙌🏼 thank you!! Love your videos, so informative! the theory and technical details are amazing; no other videos go there, or if they do it seems like they either dont know it well enough to teach to others or they just dont know period, and are repeating things they heard years ago but are only giving part of the information.., probably cause thats all they have or know
I shouldn't say only you, craigs world of hair gets into the proper theory as well, but the two of you are literally the only ones. Others Ive found never explain the methods to the maddness and knowing the rational behind why things are done the way they are keeps my adhd brain from looking for "more effecient" ways..., (lets be honest, unless I understand why something is done a certain way i look for short cuts 😳😂 not cause im lazy but because I think its un necessarily time consuming)
Thanks hairbuddah❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you find the theory and technical details helpful. Understanding the "why" behind the methods is so important, and I'm happy to provide that insight!
Thank you so much for posting this video 😊
I'm really glad you found the video helpful! Your support means a lot to me.
Blonde me never lets me down!
Great information Thank you so much You explained everything in detail
Perfect timing... Gona buy blond me next week. ❤
