How To Bleach Your Hair At Home For Men

Bleaching your hair at home can be a great way to improve your style without breaking the bank on an appointment at your local salon. Since you’re dealing with chemicals on your hair and skin, we recommend you visit your barber or stylist for your first time, just to get a feel for the process. For grown men willing to take responsibility and risk it, the do-it-yourself approach can be affordable and fun. Whether you’re going for blonde, platinum, white, blue or purple, bleach your hair at home by following these directions carefully to ensure the proper result.

How To Bleach Your Hair At Home For Men

Step One: Find The Right Products

To start, you’ll want to ditch the over-the-counter boxed dye. While these brands claim to offer an easy way to dye your hair at home, the products often don’t take into account different hair textures. Instead, look for a developer at your local salon supply store.

These products come in strengths of 10v (10-volume), 20v, 30v and 40v. The difference between them is the strength they’d provide in lifting your natural color off the strand. If you have lighter color hair, you’ll only need 10v and if you lean darker go for 30v.

Next, you’ll want to find a powdered hair bleach. Wella, a reputable company that specializes in hair care, offers effective and affordable single-use packets for this purpose. Finally, invest in two plastic bowls, gloves and applicator brushes because it’s time to get to work.

Step Two: Mix The Bleach Powder with the Developer

Following the directions on the packet, you’ll typically do a 2:1 ratio of developer to bleach. Glove up and mix these chemicals well. Once the bleach is thoroughly combined with the developer, you can start to apply the mixture to your hair.

Step Three: Apply The Bleach

With the tinting brush, apply the bleach to your hair, going slowly from root to tip to ensure every strand is thoroughly coated. Do this all over your head, using a hand mirror to get all the blind spots.

Bleaching Your Hair

Step Four: Wait

Let the product sit on your hair for about 30 to 45 minutes, checking consistently for strands that are potentially under-bleached. You’ll also want to check your skin and scalp for irritation to avoid a reaction. The process may burn slightly but don’t panic unless the sensation becomes too much.

Step Five: Wash Your Hair with Warm Water

Once you’ve reached the desired level of lift, rinse out the bleach thoroughly under warm water so you don’t shock the roots of your hair.

Step Six: Apply Toner

Repeat the process with the developer and toner, checking regularly for the desired color throughout. Rinse again under warm water and use a purple shampoo to help buff out any brassy tones that may have lingered from the bleaching process.

Now get out there and show off your stylish bleached hairstyle.
