How Do You Use Hydrogen Peroxide To Lighten Hair?
If you have ever dreamed of getting Marilyn Monroe’s silky, pale-blond hair, you’re not alone. Some people prefer to experiment with their hair color at home using natural ingredients or pharmacy hair lighteners. A classic way to bleach hair, and one that is very inexpensive, is to use hydrogen peroxide. That same stuff in the brown bottle that you use on cuts and mildew also bleaches hair. Snip a small lock of hair from underneath your hair, where you can’t see it. Tie some thread around it or tape it down to do a strand test. This will give you a preview of the color you will get with hydrogen peroxide, as everyone has different results. Mix a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide with water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray it on your wet hair and comb it through. Leave on your hair for about 15 minutes then rinse. You should have all-over lightening. Highlight your hair by selecting specific strands to color rather than your whole head. You might choose to lighten some hair around
