This is my hair when I was blonde.



Lately I've been seeing more and more Asians who've been wanting to bleach their hair an EXTREMELY white blonde on their own, as opposed to going to the salon.

I am not a professional, and I don't really recommend doing hair on your own unless you know what you're doing, and know what to expect. You need to know your own hair and how it will react to bleach.

Blonde is also very high maintenance, and depending on your style, you will need to redo roots every two-four weeks for it not to look trashy (unless you like that look). White blonde does not look good on all Asians. Adjust to your skintone. Mine is very light and not very yellow toned.


Materials needed:

Bleach powder. I use either of these two:


They're $3-$5 per packet, and for anything longer than collarbone, I suggest two packets. I like both, but I strongly recommend the Wellite one because I found it to be faster, and I can save money buy only buying 20 volume developer. Alternatively you can buy the tub, which will be cheaper if you plan on using loads or want to keep the blonde up for a long time.

Developer.


I just buy the biggest bottle in the 20 volume. It's cheap. Cheaper than the bleach.

Ash blonde hair dye. I use Clairol Professional Complements in 8A Light Ash Blonde. The picture on the site and sample looks darker than the actual result. Trust me.

Protein filler in Platinum #3.

Protein packs (for hair)
Super moisturizing conditioners
Sulfate-free shampoos
Any deep conditioners.


Part two will be the steps, and part three will be maintenance and root touch up.
