Here is a little
tutorial for all you people who would like to color your hair and have
never bleached you hair before. This is basically a two step process.
You must bleach your hair before you color it a funky color. This not
only to lighten the hair enough so the color stays bright, but when the
pigment is stripped from the hair, it leaves it slightly more brittle
and it will become more porous, in order to absorb the hair dye into the
hair.
Here is some
information on the kinds of bleaches available for you. Bleaches contain
Hydrogen Peroxide, and depending on your natural color, you need more
peroxide for "lift" (pigment reduction).
30 volume
means 30% peroxide
to 70% water, and other bleaching substances in the product, and
40 Volume
means 40% peroxide to 60% water, etc. Because of it's higher
concentration, the 40 Volume is more appropriate for naturally black to
medium brown colored hair.
The 30 Volume
is good for bleaching naturally lighter hair such as light brown, dirty
blonde, and light blonde hair. Blondes I guess, don't necessarily HAVE
to bleach their hair first, but if you want blue in your hair, and you
don't want a NASTY shade of blue-grey hair, I recommend you bleach your
hair first. You could probably buy
20 Volume
bleach since you won't need to use anything very harsh to remove
the pigment.

*Because of the volatility of
the substances, remember to NEVER EVER store any already mixed bleaching
products. The chemical reactions produce heat in the container and it
could explode! Since when the product is place in your hair, the heat is
beneficial to life the color out, but this is the same reason it is
unusable after and hour-1 ½ hours, because the heat forces the chemicals
to exhaust itself quickly.
Now is a listing of
brands of bleach. Some come with liquid developer and powder bleach that
you mix, others come with liquid developer and liquid bleach. all notes
are in the 2nd columns. if you have any questions please feel free to
