3. BLEACHING
bleaching
Bleaching is one of the oldest and easiest methods to get white hair. It is a tried and tested method which yields optimum results. You don’t have to worry about the failure of this procedure. It doesn’t backfire as well. It is a 2 stepped procedure about how to make your hair white. One is bleaching and the other is toning.
STEP 1
bleaching-your-hair
While bleaching your hair you have to take some precautionary measures like covering your shoulders with towels or anything of that sort and also don’t let the bleach fall on your skin in any way. Once you’ve applied the bleach, then, wrap your hair in a plastic cover.
After the first 15 minutes of applying the bleach, check once how the bleach has worked on few strands of your hair. If it is going great then let it be, if not then consider adding a little more bleach to your hair. Keep in mind that your hair should not be under bleach for more than 50 minutes. Otherwise your hair will get badly damaged.
STEP 2
bleaching-process
Remove the bleach after you get white hair you needed. Remember that for dark hair, this bleach wouldn’t turn them white right away. Rather, it will turn them blonde. If your hair are clearly blonde then you can proceed to toning right away. But if they are not perfectly blonde and still have dark shades then wait a day or two, again apply the bleaching process to make the hair blonde. Now you can tone your hair.
2. TONING
hair-toner
STEP 1
You can have any toner from the market; there is a variety out there. First of all mix the toner with the developer. They are mixed in a pet ratio mentioned on the packet. But normally it is 1:2, i. e., one part toner mixed with two parts of the developer.
STEP 2
toner-on-hair
Now apply this mixture to the whole of your hair from roots to tips. Evenly distribute the mixture all over your head.
STEP 3
hair-in-a-plastic-wrap
Now pack your hair in a plastic wrap. Let the mixture be there for approximately 30 minutes. After this, carefully wash out the toner. And there you are with the white hair you’ve always craved for.
PRECAUTIONS
avoiding-bleaching-the-roots-of-your-hair
The damages of the bleaching method cannot be denied. If bleaching has its advantage of time conservation then it comes with the disadvantage of hair breaking, hair damage, scalp and follicle damage etc. But there is one way through which you can save yourself considerably from the hazards of bleach. It is avoiding bleaching the roots of your hair.
If you can keep hair roots of the natural color and the rest of your hair upto the tips are white then you have saved yourself from a lot of adverse effects. By not bleaching the roots you are saving the essence of your hair and more importantly the scalp. The scalp is the part which helps the growth of new and existing hair, so if it is saved from the hazardous effects of bleach then you can wait for new hair to grow and the existing hair to get strong with the passage of time. The choice is entirely yours, but the more preferred way is of ignoring the roots. So how to get white hair now depends on you!
