I bleached my hair at home! (Don’t recommend! Hair is very versatile and i am probably lucky to have fine but strong low porosity hair). 

IT’S NOT DONE YET i wish to go lighter to have a more white/alternative look. I’ll do a second bleach session. 

I asked hairdressers, but they refused to bleach my hair because it would be ‘a waste of the curls’. Well, i took matters into my own hands because i trusted my low-porosity hair is strong enough to take on bleach.

Ps. The curls are a bit weak on the pictures, but after using olaplex + shea moisture intense hydration mask with shower day, they’re bouncy and shiny again😊

DO NOT USE a stronger developer than 9%. The risk of losing your curl pattern is too high. That’s why i use 6% developer and will do two sessions. The month in between i’ll use masks and olaplex to strengthen my hair before it takes another bleach session. I also haven’t used a toner yet, therefore it’s still yellow-ish.

I took random pieces of hair I thought would look good, i don’t want a full head bleach, i like the contrast between light and dark!

I applied Olaplex no.3 directly after bleaching and used shea moisture intense hydration mask. It’s so so so important with curls to restore your hair.

My regular curly hair routine:

2x per month Mielle Exfoliating Shampoo

.

Shower:

Andrelon volume&care conditioner

.

After shower:

I switch every other shower between Shea Moisture Low Porosity Leave-in Detangler and Cantu Curl Activator. This way i maintain moisture and hydration the best.

\+ Mielle Styling Gel honey&ginger

\+ Mielle Heat Protectant Spray

\-> Hover diffuse following by cupping until maybe 50% dry -> the rest i air dry
