You can purchase a bleaching kit at your local beauty supply store. Depending on the kit you use, your exact instructions may differ. If you are going from a dark brown to blonde, it is highly recommended that you go to a professional. Bleaching your hair at home may take several applications, and you will most likely achieve an orange color before getting close to blonde. Multiple applications of bleach can be damaging to your hair, and if you can shell out a little bit of extra money to visit a salon, it may be worth it.
Make sure each section is thoroughly brushed out before you begin applying the bleach. It’s much easier to work with tangle-free hair.
Make sure you are completely saturating each strand of hair. As soon as the bleach hits your hair, it will start processing, so it’s important to have a game plan before starting.
If you’ve never colored your hair before and it’s really healthy, you may be able to bleach it twice in 1 day as long as you don’t use a high-strength developer both times. Because you aren’t leaving your hair this color, it’s okay if you haven’t achieved a flawless white blonde color. Once you’ve achieved a golden color, you’ll be applying on your rosy dye! Bleach is damaging, so it’s important to hydrate and repair your hair with a deep conditioner in between bleaching sessions. The less bleach you use on your hair, the better!
If you’re getting your hair done by a professional, they may apply a toner instead.
Depending on the intensity of the color dye you choose, you may need to pick up a diluter as well. A diluter will dilute the hair dye, giving you a lighter, more pastel result. Or, you can purchase a pastel pink dye, like from the Pravana Chromasilk Pastel collection or the L’Oreal Paris Féria Smokey Pastels collection.
If your hair was very light, you may not need to leave your rose dye on for very long.
