 Hey there chameleons, it's Camille and today I'm going to show you guys how to properly bleach your roots and fix banding So the first step we're gonna put on our gloves as usual protect your fingers And I'm starting with some coconut oil already in my hair that I put on last night to help protect it Then I'm gonna take two scoops of my favorite bleach Which is L'Oreal quick blue and I know I've answered this question before if I had a favorite bleach And I didn't until recently so there you go Now I'm gonna use a 40 volume developer I'm using the cream developer because it's the easiest to maneuver just the salon perfect brand and some Olaplex and the only reason I'm using 40 volume is because the Olaplex brings it down to a 30 volume and You don't want to fry out your hair and the reason I'm using Olaplex is because it protects your hair from some of the damage That bleaching normally does to it So now I'm gonna section my hair into four sections starting down the middle and then doing a crosswise section So kind of like if you were playing four square just like that Just do like four squares Then you want to use some pins to just collect your hair into the four quadrants You can leave one section out because obviously you have to work on one section first So it wouldn't really make sense for you to pin all of them up I'm also pulling one side to the other side so that it's really out of the way So when I'm doing the bleaching it will just be pulled to the other side and make it a lot easier Anyways for this I have really overgrown roots And I'm taking the more professional approach for this and I'm actually using a brush this time And I'm only applying the bleach to the sections that aren't Directly next to my scalp So I'm leaving about a quarter of an inch free and applying bleach on the rest of that Then I'm using my gloved fingers and just kind of squishing the hair that has the bleach together Just to make sure that the bleach is very saturated on all the sections of the hair I'm pulling very thin sections of each quadrant and just coating it and bleach leaving that quarter inch of my roots For later because that quarter inch processes faster than the rest of your hair So if you want to have more of an even bleaching you have to do it this way Which I never really did before but I'm really just trying to fix any banding and just do this as properly as possible So then I can have a more even base for my color this bleach and developer combo doesn't really swell So you can just put it exactly where you want it to be So now you're gonna take out your next section that you're gonna work with and do the same thing You're going to section each section lots of section and going on here into very thin strips And just use the brush to paint on the bleach on both the top and the bottom sides of each of the section to sections You don't really have to squish it together if you're doing it properly or professionally But I like to since I'm doing on my own and here's a close-up you can see that I'm leaving a little bit of the roots untouched as I mentioned earlier and That also does help with the bleach feeling so it's not going to be touching your scalp So it's not going to burn at least initially so that's something that I enjoy not burning And then once it's all covered and you look like a freak It's time to cover that all up with a plastic bag Now you want to leave this on for as long as your bleach should be left on which is a little bit different for any bleach I'd recommend about 20 to 30 minutes But you want to just look at your hair and make sure that it's lightening And then you're gonna go back in with your bleach and just coat all of your roots now while those process You want to also add a little bit of extra bleach to any parts that have banding So the overgrown section of your roots that aren't directly on your head need more processing time And then the roots and the banding need to process less So you do those at the same time and then leave everything on for an additional however long it needs to be on I'd say about 20 to 30 minutes and then once you're in set out I'm going in with step two of Olaplex to help repair those bonds that I just broke Because once you break the sin ting you need to fix it. So that's one way to help restore health to your hair I recommend doing any bleaching at least a day apart. This is a different day Where I've just done a round two and then I put bleach on the bottom banding also Leah was there when I was doing this So hey girl, look at that cute face Anyways, so now I've rinsed out the second round of bleaching where I did exactly the same thing I'm putting in Olaplex step two throughout the bleach parts and then just running it through my hair And now I'm doing a very simple bleach bath, which is just a scoop of bleach Some shampoo some people add developer I didn't this time and then I'm putting that on the green sections of my hair and This is just going to be kind of a gentler way like compared to bleaching of getting out the remaining dye in your hair So once I rinse that out another day later. I am toning my hair So this is the blonde brilliance toner and developer I've used platinum before but I decided to do lavender this time You want to use a full tube of that and then half of a can of developer for that and I just use 10 volume just so it will Just work instead of lifting my hair more Anyways now I'm putting this toner onto my roots all of the yellowy sections Because this is going to get out the brassy tones all that yellow that you don't need ruining your life And it's just going to help bring your hair to more of a blonde and use its ashy cool toned colors to counteract the warm I'm putting that on all of the roots and then just bringing it down a little bit so it does fade into the rest of the hair So it's not just a stark transition, but you want to focus it on the roots of your hair Once that's in you don't have to wait long and it will already start working its magic You can see that the lavender has shown up on the whitest parts of my hair Which is to be expected, but that also just kind of washes out But anyways, this is what it looks like after I've bleached everything in the way that I described I've gotten rid of some of the banding and my hair is ready. It's light enough It's a blank canvas and it is ready for some coloring girl I hope you guys found this video helpful Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you did and if you want to stay tuned so you can see what the next hair Color is I have links to all the products that use down below as well as my social media and my vlog channel So thank you Camille and so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video kisses
