I also see many people soaking their hair in excessive amounts of, for example, coconut oil, it really doesn't make sense. Soak your hair in coconut oil, the bleach will just eat it all up and it won't matter that you have that oil on your hair strands, it won't remove the oil, it's not necessary, it will just make a mess and your hair will feel unpleasant. and really gross and greasy after nothing, okay let's move on to category two, how to mix, mix your bleach or your color, you have to do it correctly, okay, this is a very important factor, guess what you different developers , they really do it differently. things, it's not a one size fits all.
I know a lot of people think there are 10, 20, 30, and 40 volumes for literally no reason and just guess what they should use, but there's actually a method to The Madness, I promise, so let me go over the basics of what each developer does differently, so today we will mainly talk about two different categories: you can make permanent color that is not bleach and bleach is bleach. Well, anything that doesn't have that white powder involved is just color which is permanent color with the white powder which is bleach and then we'll also talk about toners later, but for now let's just know the differences between color and bleach, let's go over color .
First, if you are dying your hair, that means you are not using any of that white powder, you have the option of using 10 20 30 or 40 volumes. If you're using 10 volumes, you're probably someone who has hair. color and they are trying to get darker because when you use 10 volumes you will not get any lighting effect so it will just deposit the tone in your hair permanently but it will not cover any gray now if you have gray hair and you have any hair color and you are trying to go darker and you're also trying to cover your gray hair, you're going to use 20 volumes, lift, get into the cortex of those gray hairs and actually change the color of your gray hair. gray hair and all your hair on your head and it stays there permanently so 20 volumes is great for you now 30 and 40 volumes with permanent color without bleach are usually used for high lift color which means maybe you are natural, this is important if you have color in your hair, you can't lighten your hair color with more color, that means if you have dark brown hair and the box side is like that, then you can't use a blonde box dye To lighten your hair, you should use bleach alone.
If you want to make that very clear, you should use bleach to lighten your hair if it's already dyed, but if your hair is natural, if it's naturally brown and you've never dyed it, you can use a blonde dye to make your hair blonde now. It may come out a little orange, you can also use bleach, but you can also use a high lift color, which is a color that lifts many levels, so you'll want to use a volume of 30 or 40 with that to get the maximum. lift with your blonde color another thing I would use 30 or 40 volumes for is red, you can use 30 volumes if you're trying to max it out like a bright red or 40 volumes if you really want to take it all the way. max max max and get like fuchsia on your head you can do it with permanent color without bleach if your hair has never been dyed before now for those of you who are going to use bleach so that people who have already dyed their hair want to make it lighter or For people who have never dyed their hair before and want to get that perfect platinum blonde, you'll want to use a lightener, also known as bleach, that white powder you mix with developer.
Okay, now we don't use 10 volumes with bleach. because it has no lifting ability again 10 volumes just lays down and doesn't lift when I say lift I mean the hair cuticle doesn't actually open that's what lifts and then the color molecules actually go into the volume of the pencil, it doesn't do that. it sits pretty much on top, slightly inwards, now 20 volumes is for those looking for between one and two levels of lift if they are highlighting their hair, this is usually a great developer to use for highlights, otherwise 30 volumes is Pretty much my standard. I pretty much use 30 volumes everywhere and in any lighting scenario it is my go to and I highly recommend that if you are going to lighten your hair in any capacity you use 30 volumes unless your hair is already quite light and I'm just trying to be a little lighter. 20 volumes will work fine now. 40 volumes.
I'm just saying, "No, no, no, I don't feel like it does much more than 30 volumes, to be honest with you, I feel like it lightens up really quickly and then goes out really quickly, so I don't really recommend it to anyone. I never do." I use it for almost nothing. I'm not a big fan of 40 volume and if you're using 40 volume on your scalp it's probably going to burn a lot and I wouldn't recommend it. You shouldn't actually use 30 volume on your scalp either, but I've never found any problems. with it and it has always been fine, so 30 volumes is pretty much the standard.
I highly recommend using a lightener if you are trying to lighten your hair, especially those of you with virgin hair who are trying to lighten your hair for the first time. 30 volumes will work great and if you ask right what kind of bleach. Should I use it? I mean it's all pretty similar. Look for a nice one wherever you're shopping or online. I don't know where you can get a lightener right now. I'm sure it will be fine. I haven't found one. There is a huge difference between the different lighteners I have used in the past.
If you have the right technique, you can use any type of lightener and you will get an excellent result. Also, one last thing, read the instructions. Each lightener has a different mixing ratio. They are very similar across the board, but mix your lightener correctly according to what the instructions say. It is important to mix correctly that way you will get maximum results from the lightener you are using. Let's go over our next category, which is where to start. With the color mixer we prepare our home salon and our hair and now we are ready to apply the color, so let's go over a permanent color first.
This is the product that does not fade if you have virgin hair and are trying to do it. do a full color, start at the mid sections and ends and then when you're done apply the root color because you have heat on your scalp. I see this all the time, you'll get what's called hot roots, which is when the root area develops more than the mid-lengths and ends and you end up with kind of a warm orangey color up there from the heat of the scalp, like this. which if you don't want orange roots don't start with the roots so it's very similar with lightener don't start with the roots if you have virgin hair please don't or your roots will end up white and your ends will end up colored yellow orange.
I would recommend probably just doing the mid-lengths and ends first and then wait about 10-15 minutes until your hair has started to develop and started to lighten and then go and apply the lightener to the roots at the end if you have a pre-existing color and this is not the first time you dye your hair. hair, let's say you have a very dark eye color in a box on your hair or just any dark color, start with the parts that are darker, so if you have spots all over, start in those areas that are darker and then move up.
Don't do the roots first unless you are doing a touch-up on existing hair. Don't start with the roots below. We have an application method. This is where your work becomes a masterpiece or a disaster. This is actually one of the most important parts if not the most important part now listen, I understand that none of you are going to use a brush, probably none of you, which is fine, honestly, it's fine, as long as you use these things correctly, they will be fine, I swear they will be. It's all good, first of all, make sure you have gloves on, it's really not good for your hands to put color everywhere really, it will dry them out forever.
Permanent color is pretty simple, mix it up, put it on your head. comb it or brush it, I highly recommend that as you comb it, make sure you apply every strand of hair and now with the bleach, I'm going to show you Miss Manny Quinn how much bleach you should use. Okay, I see this happening. all the time where people don't use enough lightener on their head, ninety percent of the time no one uses enough, you need a lot of lightener to get the maximum possible results and less lightener doesn't mean your hair will lighten less. it just means you're probably going to get spots all over your hair if you don't want that much lightning power maybe you drop the developer or maybe you don't let it sit in your hair for that long if you don't want your hair to lighten that much don't go in and put less lightener that doesn't make any sense now as shown here on miss manny quinn my amazing client today we are going to apply that lightener,we'll start at the back if you want using permanent color or bleach start at the back no matter what you're using we're going to want to do those first two back quadrants first start at the bottom and work your way up that way, all the color will be on top. on its own as you work on it and it doesn't turn into a total mess.
This is the amount of lightener you should use. Really cover it. You can use your hands like I'm doing here. Really put it in there. Move the hair in your palms really get it and avoid that root area at all costs until you can go back and do it all after and then once. You're done with the entire back section, you can work on the front section, so Once you're done applying color all over your head, set the timer for the time you're supposed to set for now for bleach. I definitely recommend putting a bag over your hair, spray a little bit of water in it, put it on your head and tie it really tight that way, the water gets a little bit steamy inside the bag, but you don't want the lightener to dry out, do you?
OK? It doesn't like dryness, it likes moisture, so make sure it's always moist. Another thing I see is a lot of people try to lather bleach as if bleach shampoo doesn't lather, let me clarify that bleach doesn't lather so stop trying to make that happen. will never happen and also don't comb or brush with bleach, your hair is in a very fragile state right now, that tension will be very bad and detrimental to the health of your hair, don't do that, so let's review how long to leave the color on a permanent color, you can leave it on according to what the instructions say.
Each manufacturer has a different time period. Leave the color on usually for 30 or 35 minutes and for bleach it's a lot trickier, it will vary from person to person, if you have virgin hair and you're trying to make it very light, leave it on for 45 to an hour, that's fine, nothing anything beyond an hour will do because the bleach ends up drying after an hour, basically don't leave it on. for more than an hour nothing will happen, nothing, I promise, if you are trying to get platinum blonde hair, leave it in your hair until it looks like white because usually once you rinse the lightener out, that kind of white tone comes off. it ends up looking a lot more orange and yellowish when you rinse it off so pale yellow is what we're going for to get that platinum blonde look and you can also wash the back before the front because we start at the back.
We can wash it so it doesn't get over processed and the front and back end up the same color, so once the timer is up, maybe wash the back first, wait another 10 minutes and then rinse the front and just do all. Make sure you monitor this process, keep an eye on your hair, make sure nothing falls out, if you're worried about something falling out, grab a strand at the back, stretch it a little, pull it if it doesn't break or not stretches a ridiculous amount, your hair is probably fine and you can leave it in a little longer and then we have cleansing and this is a whole category.
I see that many things went wrong in the cleaning category and in these videos I have seen one of use. warm water, okay, don't use cold water to rinse out the lightener, I know it's tempting, it feels good because your head is so hot, but you don't want to do that because what's going to happen is it's going to shake your hair, you hair. it just expanded a lot to remove all that artificial pigment from your hair or natural pigment from your hair. When you apply it backwards, it can cause breakage, so make sure you rinse your hair with warm water, nothing too hot, nothing too cold, just plain. right in the middle, it's okay, don't rub your scalp, it's very fragile, the skin was basically torn off, be gentle, yes, thorough, don't use your nails, just use the tops of your fingers like this, it's okay, be gentle, be loving with your scalp.
It's doing a lot for you right now and just say thank you by just giving it a little massage and most of the time it takes about two washes to get all the lightener out of your hair if you're using a lot. sometimes your hair can be left with that gritty feeling just because you didn't wash out all the lightener, so wash it at least twice and condition it really well maybe do a little hair mask, show it some love, you'll be fine next. Evaluate the situation: can your hair handle more bleaching if it needs to be bleached again? is it fibrous? is it falling? is yes then do it right it will be fine and now is when you proceed with another round of lightener if necessary and now those who are doing permanent color and don't use bleach you will want to stop here you are at the end of your journey congratulations you have dyed hair correctly people who are bleaching there are more things well, it's a long process so next we have toner the toner is a complicated situation for many of you have noticed that many of you are using permanent color as a toner, now that's not It's a toner, okay, look at permanent color like we went over it before, it lifts and settles, it goes to the cortex of your hair, the toner sits on top, you don't want to use permanent color when you're toning your hair.
Again, it's a very confusing thing to go over, today we're going to go over the basics, just hear me out, don't try to fight it, it's okay, just use a toner, not a permanent color, don't use box dye to tone your hair, it's okay, no . Don't go grab the box of icy blonde dye and put it on your already blonde hair. There's so much ammonia, there's so much lift in that box that you don't need any lift at this point, you've already lifted your hair to what it needs. it's like pale yellow right now, you don't need to raise it anymore and then you'll create so much damage for no reason.
The toner is deposited on top of the hair cuticle. It's often mixed with anything below a 10 volume developer, there's usually a toning developer that goes with the toners, that's fine, so be aware that t18 is not a toner, it's a color. perm, it's okay, don't use 20 volume with t18 to tone your blonde hair, no it's not good, use a level 10 toner, maybe a neutral Ash combined with a toning developer to tone your hair. This will leave your hair feeling incredibly healthy. It won't cause any damage. It will actually help some of that damage feel better and that's why we use a toner and not a permanent color when you're toning your hair go for something that's the same level as your hair now or go for something darker, it's okay , you can't lighten it with a toner, you can only darken it or at the same level, so these are the levels here, the basics of everything, level one to ten, one being the darkest, ten, being the lightest, look what what you are and then when you know what your level is, say you're at level eight right now and you're trying to have a more ashy tone, okay, so you know you want to go to level eight and then your wheel of colors, it's okay, it's not that complicated, I swear, just listen, I know this sounds scary, grab your color wheel if your hair looks a little orange.
You know, go from that orange to the other side and you'll see that the orange is blue. You will need a blue based toner at level eight to cancel out that orange that you are seeing and be able to use something like an 8na to cancel out that orange and get a beautiful level 8 tone that looks somewhat natural and almost long lasting quality. Purple shampoo is not a toner. Purple shampoo is for keeping up with what you've done in the salon or at home, it's not. Don't use a toner to tone your hair, it won't work well, you'll have spots everywhere, that's not what it's for and make sure you leave the toner on for the recommended time, no more, no less. so using a level 10 toner on a level 8 head of hair look, this is level 10, this is level 8.
It won't work because there are no lifting agents, there is nothing to make your hair higher, there is no nothing that makes your hair look taller. The lighter toner does not lighten your hair, it only brings you the correct shade of that luminosity that you have achieved with the bleach. Consider doing a root and tip polish. You can look for photos of that. This is basically what it is when you do it. a darker toner on top and a lighter one on the bottom, hair naturally has darker tones on top and lighter tones on the bottom.
We usually do that in the salon to give it a little bit more of a natural look or to do a little rooting. shadow, so you can use like a level eight at the root and a level ten at the ends and mix them all together, it will look amazing, but it's definitely a more advanced skill. Try it, it may not turn out so well, but don't do it. blame me our next category finish and style at this point you're almost done, okay, you rinsed it, you blow dried it, you have the most beautiful, amazing hair you've ever reviewed, okay, this is where you want to be do you want to be? lighter maybe you should wait a day maybe you should wait a week maybe you should wait six months to do it again maybe try to lighten your hair or maybe it looks great how it is just evaluate the situation and don't make impulsive decisions Make sure you are Be careful with your hair and use the right products to care for and maintain your new color.
