Question:

Hihi! Thanks so much for the advice. I'm going to dye my hair purple but I have asian dark hair so I suppose I still have to bleach somewhat right? Any tips on bleaching? :/

Answer:

Hey, I highly recommend you to go to a salon and do it. Now depending on how light u want your hair to b,e the longer in bleach you should sit in. When I did my blonde hair, my hair sat in bleach for about 2 1/2 hrs and my frd Janet who also did it only bleached for 1 hr and my hair came out much lighter than hers. She had yellow hair, while mines was blonde. Depending on the salon you go to, some places don’t want to deal with a person just sitting there wasting their time on bleach so they will deliberately do a half ass job but be firm and tell them that you want it lighter and you would want to sit in bleach longer. Now if you want to do this yourself, which I don’t recommend bc it can get chaotic. You can soak your whole head in bleach but then you might get it in ur eyes and etc. SO I WOULD SAY DONT DO IT! And if you go to the salon and they don’t have the purple u want but let’s say u found the color u want in some dye box then u can actually give them the box an they will actually use that dye and do it for you. Since u r doing it purple I would suggest going to a hipper younger salon instead of and ajjuma place bc they would understand and do it better bc I’m pretty sure they’ve done it plenty times before. I do have a few recommendations. I did my bleaching in asia but when I came back I dyed my hair about 3 more times that year. Lol my stylist was amazing his name is Ryan and he use to work in a really chic place called mess look but now he quit and moved elsewhere but that place is not that chic looking but he is still great and he is in Chinatown and price for bleaching and dying would be moderate; 60-80? But my frd carlan who got blonde hair recently did it at a japanese place and it came put really good BUT it cost him about 200. O_O. Something u should know about bleach is that once u bleach ur hair, it will NEVER be the same again until all ur old hair has grown out. When u wash ur hair, it will be vey dry and feel like hay. It’s gross. Even conditioner wont help. You would need crazy amount of oil treatment. And let’s say u want to go back to ur normal hair color or any dark hair color. Well with in a month or so, bc u bleached ur hair before, all those dye jobs after will become super lighter in a month. After dying my hair blonde, I went back to brown but it didn’t come out right, I have a lot of patches of blonde in my hair and the same thing happened to my frd Janet too. Then I re dyed it in america with my stylist and it was fine, dark brown, almost black but with in a month, IT BECAME ORANGE!!!! and then I dyed it dark brown again and it Became very light brown but it took like a few months. Then I did it again and it’s about medium brown but it’s good bc it took a while for my hair to change color, which means that the bleach is dying. It’s been a yr and 1/2 n I’m still paying for that bleach job. Lol So that is all my advice to you. So happy bleaching. Lol if you need anything else msg me.
