Yes. You can bleach hair bundles and the key to this procedure is to be careful while doing it. Most hair bundle of 100% human hair can carry bleach to achieve a lighter color. However, the result will depend on the quality of hair and the technique of bleaching.
Steps To Bleach Hair Bundles:
Prepare the Work Area; place plastic or foil on surfaces to prevent stains.
- Mix the Bleach: Make a mixture of good-quality bleaching powder with a developer (20, 30, or 40 volume). The higher the volume, the faster the lift, but also the higher the risk of damage.
- Apply the Bleach: Lay the bundles on foil and paint the hair bleach mixture evenly over the hair. Make sure every strand is saturated for an even result.
- Monitor Process Time: Leave the bleach on 15-45 minutes, checking about every 5-7 minutes to avoid over-processing.
- Deep Condition: Bleaching strips moisture from the hair, so deep conditioners or hair masks should be applied to soften and strengthen.
- Air Dry: Allow the bundles to dry before styling.
Important Considerations:
- Hair Type Matters: Virgin hair bleaches best, while synthetic or processed hair may not bleach much.
- Minimize Damage: Over-bleaching weakens the hair and results in dryness, brittleness and breakage.
- Toning: When the color turns brassy, using purple or blue toner would cancel the off tones.
Seeking guidance from a professional hairstylist is advisable to avoid ruining your hair bundles if you are in doubt.
