Scalp bleach

[lilly]

I have taken over a few clients for a hairdresser friend, I have just arranged amn appointment for a full head ( scalp) bleach for himeek and cut and colour for her, she doesnt know what colours she has but does know that its 60 vol for the full head bleach i asked if it burns him, she said yes but he doesnt mind that !!!!

Holy crap it'l take the skin of his bonce !

I dont so full heads, any suggestions, I need to look at his hair but I would imagine it would be a 4 or 5 base to need that sort of strength ?!

I thought 60vol was illegal?? I wouldn't personally use over 30vol (9%) on scalp. What bleach do you/are you planning on using? xxx

hey i used to have a full head bleach for years lol i used to use wella blue powder and a 6% wella peroxide which it advises on the M.I if you read it that you must only use a 6% on the scalp anything above that i wouldnt reccommend as it'll burn,tingle,and be very uncomfortable for your client which ive had happen to me before at a salon i hope this helps need any more help feel free to message

Hi, unless the hair is very short I personally wouldn't do a global blonde on a base four (too dark)
as there will always be roots popping through and breakage happening .... if not now at a later date

here is an older post that may help you ,

Ps .... the Marylin Munroe way to protect from breakage was an excellent bleaching method to prevent breakage for lighter bleached blondes you could try to Google it or research it all :hug:
good luck minky

Hi, I use a high lift bleach called Blue frosting gel lotion by proclere oil bleach
its in a dark blue box with pale blue writing
its specially made for on the scalp bleaching only
from a level 5 it produces up and beyond (that very pale blonde )
without the burning or the itch ,
it comes with sachets of blue frosting boosters for the degree of lightness you want

it's so much less discomfort for the client and you only ever use 6% with it
check it out its fab and fast too .
you can buy a single application box which has in it a bottle of blue oil gel bleach and some booster sachets , so you only need to add your 6% developer

I get mine from salons direct or sallys
they also do proclere toners for afterwards
to tone bleached hair , these are made to go with the bleach
and they have a range of tones that dont get any grab,
just ask to see the colour ring ,

Wella also do a lovely Colour Fresh toner for blonde bleached hair in 0/6 sliver ,

The hair first needs to be lightened past that baby chicken yellow blonde and up to that light creamy stage
(just like the inside of a banana skin) with the Blue frosting oil gel bleach ,

(but don't go past the creamy stage or condition may be lost and toner will not hold ),

Then when the 0/6 toner is used after washing off the blue frosting oil bleach ,
it will give that white platinum blonde look
or use the proclere range of toners,

Ps , always follow all manufactures instructions and always perform strand tests and skin tests before any bleach or tint procedure
