Need some advice please..
I have someone insisting that her fringe be fully bleached!! She's adamant that as her highlites are growing out it looks rediculous and a full bleach would look better :eek: I've tried to tell her it will look worse as shell have a really harsh line against her dark regrowth but she's having none of it.. I've said I will pack out her fringe in really close foils but again she is still having none if it!

A little background, she went to a salon for a bleach bath and highlites to get rid of her live xxl red... I have done her one set of highlites since but she says they bleached the whole fringe last time... But when I did it it was the fringe she was moaning about the re growth, which can't of been more than 1/2" anyway

I haven't ever used bleach on the scalp before.. Can you reccomend what I could use and what level of developer I can go up too as if I have to stick with a low one its not going to lift up anyway

She wants this done today so please if you could help I'd really appreciate it :)
 
Whats her natural base?
So is she wanting highlights everywhere then bleach on her scalp- but just the fringe area?? X
 
And what bleach do you use x
 
I use TIGI true lights powder bleach because it's brilliant and you can use it on or off scalp.

You can get it at several wholesalers.

Thanks :) she is a 4 naturally, and yes she says she is happy with her highlites but wants a fully bleached fringe?

I normally use the Sally's white bleach but I'm sure you can't use this on the scalp as its burnt me on more than one occasion when highliting

The thing is I just think its going to be the same regardless of how I do it.. When she asked me to do her re growth the first time she said it was really bad etc, it was no more than 1/2 an inch, so small infact I told her it wasn't even worth doing but she was insistent

Thanks, can you use this with any level of developer on scalp?
 
You want to buy a good quality bleach and use no higher than 6% on scalp. You should know this its covered in basic training. It will lift with 6% it just takes longer but develops less yellow.

Some bleaches you can actually use 30vol on scalp.
But i dont find it necessary!

I use loreal platine infinie (with 20vol) its fab! You should be able to get it at your warehouse.
And you'll probably need a toner for afterwards as on scalp always looks more brassy.
Charge her accordingly and id warn her that her roots will be through within a week! Xx

Do you remember every single thing you learnt years ago? You are a better person than me if you do!

Thanks for the advice everyone :) managed to persuade her into loads of fine foils and it looked great :)
 
Good girl! I kinda remember everything! One thing I do know is that It is wise to always try to keep your reputation intact! You definitely made the right decision, I would have gently refused to full head bleach just her fringe and would have happily lost her custom to someone else who was prepared to do it! Good on you! ❤
