I know you're an art blog so I don't know if it's appropriate to ask you on here but how do you keep your hair so blond but healthy looking? at least from cameras. I want to bleach my hair but I am so scared lol. sorry if this is weird 😭 have a good day/night!

you're so nice! thank you! I put details under this I hope it works LOL.. I know it is different for everyone so :,,3 idk if my method will be good for your hairstyle type but ya !!

I was born with like, super white hair and as I grew it got darker. my hair is now like.. a "dishwater blond" or maybe a light brown without warm tones. like it almost looks grey? but it isn't.

I have been bleaching it for like a decade LOL I used to do crazy colors but now I just like my blond with maybe some colored cute tones. I just don't have the patience to grow the original color out T__T

anyways! I have very thin/fine hair so I just grow out my hair until the roots drive me insane and make me feel like I look "oily no matter what" and bleach them with 20vol developer and some bleach from Sally's. I keep it in for like 10 minutes. I literally just get the cheapest stuff lol......

usually the night before I will oil my scalp (I find oiling your hair does not interact odd to the bleach but it helps protect your hair a bit, at least with the kinds I've tried) (my hair LOVES jamaican mango + lime black castor oil, it also grew out my eyelashes and brows a lot also)

I haven't tried this exact kind but I have 2 of their others and I love them all the same + they smell good too!

after bleaching I will bathe it with shampoo (to get the bleach out) lots of conditioner, Cold water always, (at least for the hair) and then I don't wash it again for as long as I can

in general I usually try to not wash my hair for as long as possible, and then dry shampoo, then wash bangs, then wash all hair. usually always with cold water

that's pretty much it!!! I know a lot of people have issues bleaching their hair and I've only had that problem once when I used a 30vol instead of 20 so please take note at how thick your hair is. stronger volume is good for thicker, dark hair I believe. since mine is so fine and already naturally lighter I think I get off easier with bleaching it without the intense damage people tend to get ;o;

good luck anon!!!! and thank you again!! also toner is amazing I don't know a lot about it but that helps a lot too :3 I got this toner once and I got so many nice compliments on my hair hehe

just make sure if anything you do a test strand even though I haaaate doing that I don't have patience. but it's good to know. bc when I did use the stronger volume... the feeling of your hair falling out and breaking off is simply a horror unmatched

and if you bleach it and it wasn't enough, please wait and nurture your hair a bit before trying to bleach it again to avoid excessive damage

good luck sweet anon!!
