Bleach Instructions for SPECIAL EFFECTS:
1. Wearing enclosed gloves, pour approx. 1/2 bottle of peroxide in a plastic bowl (DO NOT USE METAL BOWL).
2. Carefully open bleach packet and pour approx. 1/2 of bleach into bowl.
3. Use tint brush to mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Add remainder of peroxide and bleach powder and mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Apply immediately to dry unwashed hair.
6. Using the brush, apply bleach mixture evenly to hair you want to be bleached. Make sure all hair strands are evenly saturated, but not dripping, using brush or gloved fingers. You may mask hair you don't want to be bleached by using a highlight cap or foil.
7. Once mixture has been completely applied to hair, begin timing development. Check development of hair every 10 minutes to evaluate color. To do this, take a few strands of hair and wipe away bleach with a damp paper towel, spread apart strands of hair. If desired color has not been reached, reapply bleach mixture to that area and continue processing.
8. Here's a chart for approx timing (time varies on natural hair color):
Dark Blonde 15 to 30 Minutes
Light Brown 25 to 35 Minutes
Medium Brown 30 to 45 Minutes
Dark Brown
45 to 60 Minutes
Do not overbleach.
9. Once desired shade has been reached, rinse bleach out of hair, shampoo thoroughly and condition. Dry hair.
