Scalp bleach

[CWHC]

I have been asked recently to do a lot of scalp bleach. Which I am not it that confident with.
Is there anyway of skin testing and any tips you can give me in application.
I think my main concerns are irritating there scalp and having some sort of reaction and also a patchy application.
Thanks in advance x

Blondor cream is really gentle on the scalp. Designed to use on scalp X

You don't tend to skin test for bleach really, some people are more irritated by it than others tho. If your using a toner you will need to skin test that. Application is best done with the simple hot cross bun sectioning, I personally do the back first then the front & the hairline last. After 5 mins processing go back through in the opposite direction to the application and touch up any darker areas then it won't be patchy

If you're lacking confidence, I would stick to short hair only.....
Use the method as mentioned above, and all will be good!
Problems arise when dealing with hair that is longer.....it will have 'history', that the client will not always disclose!
If in doubt - avoid..........at very least, take a strand test!

From being an on scalp bleacher I would also say to the client not to wash her hair on the day she's having it done, either day before or couple of days before. I find with myself i feel it more and I'd never do it again put it that way

I would patch test lighteners, many people are allergic to them.
One of the most gentle on the scalp lighteners is Logics Light Reactions + the Gel Lightener, you mix them together with 20vol., you use up to 3 scoops of the Light Reactions in the formula to make the strongest lightener. It has 9 different conditioners in it.
I'd recommend you add Olaplex to any product you use for added protection.
