The Bleaching Process...

So, I'm a brunette naturally. But I personally think I'd be better off as a blonde, so I got a friend of mine's mom to do my hair this past weekend, and now I have about 50% blonde highlights and 50% brunette still. In about three weeks, I'm gonna go back and go completely blonde. :)


Rules for Bleaching;
#1. I hope to GOD you are not doing this by yourself. Unless you are a professional, I reccommend getting someone professional to bleach your hair. Things can go terribly wrong if you're doing it by yourself.

#2. Be prepared.
Your hair is going to be damaged after, split ends and dry hair GALORE. I highly suggest investing in a good deep conditioner for your hair, I'm currently using the Pantene Pro-V Deep Conditioner for Chemically Treated/Dyed Hair. It works really well to bring back some moisture. Do this once a week for ten minutes, then wash it out. :)

#3. Argan Oil!
The lady who did my hair gave me some of this oil after she did my hair and told me to use it whenever I was using heat on my hair and that it was going to help a LOT with the dryness. And that it has done very well, don't use too much though or your hair will look greasy.

#4. Make sure you'll look GOOD with light hair.
I can't stress this one enough. If your skintone won't look good with blonde hair, DON'T bleach it. Bleaching is very damaging, and hard to get back to the normal color of your hair once you do it. So before you do it, make sure you're serious about it.


MY HAIR PROCESSING. :)

First, Normal hair.
If I could describe my natural color, I'd say it's a dark brunette with auburn in it.



















Second; Satellite Dish Head
















And finally, BLONDIE. ;)


By the way, if you're going from dark hair to light hair like mine, you CANNOT DO THIS without bleaching. Some people say you can just buy a light box color and it'll bring your shade up, and it doesn't. It might make it appear lighter, but you're base color is still staying dark. But I do recommend getting this done professionally. I wouldn't trust myself with bleach, since it's very damaging and if done wrong can be disasterous to your hair. (I'm talking, pink, neon yellow, or blue hair here!) and that's not good.
