BEFORE YOU START
- Perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before each use of Totally Clean Bleach product.
- Skip washing your hair two days prior to bleaching. This can help reduce the possibility of scalp irritation.
MIXING
- Add full contents of bleach tube to plastic or ceramic bowl. DO NOT use metal bowls or metal tools.
- Mix in full contents of developer bottle. Stir until the mixture is a smooth consistency and there are no lumps.
*If you are only doing your roots and/or do not require as much product, mix one part bleach to 1.5 parts developer. Use a scale for accuracy. For example, 1oz of bleach would be mixed with 1.5oz of developer.
APPLICATION
- Wear included gloves and cover clothing. Start with dry, un-shampooed and detangled hair. Start at the crown of the head and work in small sections. Finish your roots last, as they tend to lift faster.
- Using a hair applicator brush, fully saturate each section, working the bleach down the hair. Leave the roots for the last step, as they will lift quicker.
- After all sections are fully saturated go back and apply bleach to your roots* and any missed spots.
*If you are only bleaching your roots, do not apply over previously bleached hair. Overlapping could cause excessive damage to hair. - Wait 35-45 min paying close attention to the condition of your hair while processing. Check every 10 min. To check the process, wipe excess product from a small of piece of hair using your gloved hand. If the hair is not lightened enough, leave mixture on longer. DO NOT leave on for more than 45 minutes!
- Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring that all product is washed out.
- Shampoo and deep condition using the included conditioner. Do not use conditioner on hair if you plan on coloring your hair immediately after lightening.
