This post is for your viewing pleasure only, really, just watch it, we are not a fan of doing your own bleach job even though some people might decide to attempt it. We just don’t want to be responsible for anything burning or melting or falling out, we highly recommend doing any bleach jobs at a salon. Now that we have that out of the way, youtuber OffbeatLook gives a very detailed tutorial on how to do a teal blue ombre color on her hair after bleaching it.
Coming off the heels of that Teyana Taylor post I have been curious about how to achieve such vibrant colors in your hair and was kind of estatic when I saw an actual tutorial. I swear you can find anything on YouTube!
Then I watched the tutorial and I was like, my God could I put my hair through that? The answer is a definite know, I even thought back to in my twenties if I would attempt it, and while I love the idea I probably wouldn’t do it, no matter how you slice it.
Ever wonder what bleach is made of, well I did a little research and I found that most bleaching agents have ingredients like potassium* persulphate which helps to whiten and lift color, and it also has sodium metasilicate which helps to open up your strand and allow the bleach to penetrate the strand.
Bleach depletes your hair strand making your hair porous and allowing you to add whatever color you decide to add to your hair. The color will look great because there is nothing to mix with it so whatever it is you want will essentially be achieved.
If you want crazy colors or platinum blonde there is alot that comes with that and there is even more that is expected afterwards in terms of haircare. You are working with a strand that has be broken and thinned out so your job afterwards is keeping your hair moisturized all the time, deep conditioning* and using protein to keep your hair ‘healthy’.
now watch the tutorial:
We found another video that was done by the same youtuber called the Truth about hair dye, and we thought it would very beneficial to share that video too. Check it out:
Well there you have it, have you bleached your hair before? Share your experience and comment below.
I do it all the time and my hair is still long and healthy
i just like this for some reason 🙂
nope.. it’s not for me
You really have to understand your type of hair. Some can take it. Some can’t.
Like your hair Color and style
No. I mean you could, but it will ultimately destroy your hair. If you’re ok with that and plan to chop again anyway, I say go for it..
No, no and um noo to bleach
Bleaching is for ppl who know how to take care of their hair after the process is done. All you have to do is keep it moisturizer in your hair so it won’t dry n break off.
My friends daughter just did this yesterday -have never seen process before
Her hair came out gorgeous
No, it ruins my curl pattern for some reason. If I wore my hair straight maybe, it’s cute.
I did my bangs in high school because I thoight it was cool. It was fun experimenting with colors and I only did my bangs so it wasn’t a huge commitment . My hairs always been relaxed so I don’t do it anymore now that I’m a bit wiser on hair maintenaNce and chEmicals but if I had natural hair id def have more fun with color 🙂
Not if it comes looking like that picture.
Y’all can’t tell me she not orange. I know Im off subject but to tan or not to tan nevermind. This is pretty and bleach is harmful to some but ONLY SOME
I have bleached my hair before and it turned out great. I didn’t destroy my hair. I had no breakage, or anything. My hair actually grew as long as I kept up my regimen.
This hair color is horrible. Simply dreadful.
You can use kool aid and get those colors without chemicals.
If you dont know how to properly treat bleached hair, you’ll be bald within a year.
She looks like an oopa loompa sorry
She look like a clown
yea only if u replace the protein & moisture in your hair . & u definitely shouldnt relax & bleach your hair .
the question was WOULD U BLEACH UR HAIR ? not about what she look like .
Yes, i have done it before. A couple times actually, & my hair was fine. I currently have my natural hair color now though……
Nor my real hair. Some hair extensions yes
Been there done that WONT do it again
That’s why you go and see a PROFESSIONAL
i have before wouldn’t do it again
I would I did actually! ! Just make sure you keep as much heat off of your hair and also deep conditioners and hot oil treatments often!
Do not bleach on top of other chemicals! !
I’ve never bleached my hair so I wouldn’ t do this. I think she looks cute though.
If you bleach your hair than it’s no longer natural.
Natural hair to me is without weave. I dont bleach my hair but I dye it without bleach.
Huh? So if you use weave as a protective style your hair is not natural??? I disagree. Only when chemicals are involved. But I caught your drift!
I do bleach/lighten my hair and it’s still long and healthy, which can be achieved with proper care and maintenance. Color is beautiful and adds both dimension and personality to your style.
why not? It’s just hair.
I knooow, but I want blue hair. I’ve been toying with the idea for about a year and a half. I probably won’t but I really want to.
I’ve been thinking about dying mine blue also.
My hair is still natural and curly and the consistency hasn’t changed, despite the color having repeatedly. I just give it a good long rest between bleaching and its cool. I’m two toned now and itching to color it. (That’s flat iron work in the profile, a perm can’t touch this. Dun dun da dun, da dun, da dun!)
@Phoenix That’s not natural. Yes it may still be kinky but we were not born with bleached hair. JS
Yes , i always bleach my hair. It was a mess when i had a relaxer, but now im relaxer free its so much better and damage free, my press outs are flawless.
@Latisha Even with proper care, everyone’s hair reacts differently.
Yes I did shortly after I big chopped and it was fun for a while I got tired of it let most of it grow off and did a mini big chop to get the rest off. Thinking of coloring again, but not so much of my hair as I did the first time
lol natural hair police
I pay no attention to the natural hair police, I think its hilarious when a person say’s you’re not natural if you dye your hair smh.
Here come the natural police…ur also not born with a braid out but u do em right? Dont let someone else define whats natural for u…if u dont permanently alter your natural texture ur still natural…
Wow. We adults can’t have a debate without people catching feelings. Weave and Chemical are two completely different things. But I caught your drift!
For real! Some people just like to throw their view upon people without checking the mirror
Well I’m a proud permer and I want to cut and color my hair. The color has to look natural and not distracting though.
I wouldnt put bleach in my hair I have dyed my hair without bleach before.
No
Looking like an oompa loompa
I think its okay , but the extravagant colors , aren’t necessary to me . Why can’t people try a colored wig first ?
My cousin has this color and she is dark skin but it fit her I think blue also look good on her two I wish those colors fit me!!!!
Nope
She looks like an Oompaloompa. But for some reason I still really like it.
Dont do it…..especially not on yourself. I can tell it isn’t professional. It’s very blotchy at least do it right.
Nope
Hell NAH!
I did it last year and it was okay at first then I did it again, months after and it dried my hair out. Never again, well at least not that close together
If u have a prem do not bleach your hair cuz those edges will disappear
I have bleached my hair in the past with a perm and my edges
were still intact. It’s all about doing it right, although I’m not doing another perm to after I have my daughter she has changed my texture. I should have never went natural then permed my hair while pregnant not a good idea.
Yes
I would bleach my hair. But I would NEVER have cartoon character or clown colored hair. If it’s not a color naturally occurring in a human being, it won’t be found in my head.
The things people do to be “different” & ” edgy” are so common that they’re not even “different” or “edgy” any more. Lol
I say the same thing all the time.
I think it’s ok but requires a lot of care and maintenance. My friend has bleached natural hair with a blue over tone and it looks great! Due to work I cannot go for these extravagant colours.
If I want too…..its MY HAIR
No bleaching is good for your hair in the long run just for a color it kills your hair and besides there’s all kinda ways to make your hair a color
If its your hair so do what u want but most likely your gonna ruin it but hey your mostly likely gonna end up getting weave later
Yes! Thank you! You are exactly right.
No
No, my hair’s too delicate.
No!! Highlights is how I became natural in the first place. So now I’m happy with what God gave me!!!!
Exactly!
Did it twice, will probably do it again
No, my hair is far too fragile and takes forever to recover even from heat (so I only use heat like twice a year now) But I like the way it looks on other people. 🙂
