Introduction
(CC photo by Nikki)Maybe you've always heard that blonds have more fun, and you want to see if it's true.1 Maybe you want to try being a redhead, but you have dark hair that needs to be lightened before you can go red. Maybe you just want to make a dramatic change in your look.
Whatever your reasons, you've decided to bleach your hair. If you do it right, bleaching can look terrific. But bleaching can be risky, and if you don't know what you're doing, you can seriously damage your hair or injure your skin. This guide will tell you how to bleach your hair safely and effectively.
Step 1: Before You Bleach
(Creative Commons photo by Laura)Before you bleach your hair, think it over carefully. This is not a decision to make lightly (no pun intended).
Remember that there is always the risk of damaging your hair or just looking bad.
Do some research to help you figure out what hair colors would look best on you.2
You can always experiment with a picture of yourself using a photo editing program to see how you would look with a different hair color.3
Consider whether your bleaching would be better handled by a salon.
Lightening your hair is risky, and it could well be that a pro would do a better job than you will at home.4
Bleaching will be more challenging if you have naturally dark hair.5
It will probably require several treatments, which could be damaging to your hair.6
You should really talk to a professional hair stylist before trying it.
Bleaching reddish-brown hair also has challenges.
It's likely your hair will turn orange, and you will need multiple treatments.7
Bleaching will inevitably do some damage to your hair.8
You can minimize this be washing with quality conditioners for a couple of weeks before you bleach.9
If your hair has had any treatments recently, like perming or relaxing, you should give your hair a few weeks to recover before bleaching.10
If your hair already has some coloring in it, you'll need to remove the coloring before you bleach.11
Removing existing coloring before you bleach puts additional stress on your hair, so proceed carefully.12
If you dyed your hair with a dye containing metallic salts, do not attempt to bleach it now. The bleach and metallic salts could have a bad reaction, causing hair breakage and other problems.13
Health Considerations
Hydrogen peroxide is potentially dangerous, and there are things you should know before using it.14
Improper use of bleach can cause hair loss, painful blisters and other problems.15
If you're pregnant, your body might be very sensitive to certain chemicals and you'll need to take special precautions.16
Talk it over with your doctor before you bleach.
Be sure to do a skin test before bleaching, don't get the chemicals in your eyes and avoid saltwater and chlorine for several days afterwards, to prevent a possibly dangerous reaction.17
Using bleach during your period shouldn't cause problems, although you might be more sensitive to chemical aromas.18
If you swallow hydrogen peroxide or get it in your eyes, it should be treated as an emergency situation.
Seek medical attention immediately if you've swallowed it, and if you get it in your eyes, flush them with water for 15 minutes and then see a doctor or call a poison control center.19

I'm a natural dull brunette, now I want to die my hair again, but don't know what colour?
Bec
I dyed my hair mahogany semi-permentantly a few months ago, and its left a slightly ginger/red tint in my hair.
I also have a fairly pale complexion, but i have spot prone and red skin, so yeah, i think thats all the information needed to decide :/
oh, and i have green ish blue eyes x
Sensible answers pleeease :/
Answer
red hair looks great with green eyes. You said you were mahogany a few months ago. I know red hair can make reddish skin look worse, but if you get a cooler red, or a darker brown red it went set off your face as much. I have green eyes and pale skin which easily flushes and will stay that way for hours, and I had red hair for quite a few months. Mine was professionally done with Paul Mitchell color, I used 6rr and 8rv. which is a level six red with no brown, and a level eight red and purple. it was cool enough that my face didn't get set off. But it did leave my hair with a red tint even after I colored on top of it.
If your tired of red though I would just put a semi permanent brown on top. It will cover up the red tint and keep it shiny and nice looking.
