How to Dye Your Hair Blonde With Peroxide

Blonde hair can be achieved without the use of harsh bleach---hydrogen peroxide slowly and safely lightens hair until it becomes completely blonde. Color is maintained by spraying peroxide on portions of hair that have darkened. This dye method is safer and less expensive than bleaching kits, but does take more time to complete.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Spray bottle
• Hydrogen peroxide

1. Wash and rinse the spray bottle thoroughly to remove any chemical residue. Other chemicals mixed with hydrogen peroxide can cause severe scalp irritation or hair damage to occur. Use only a new, clean spray bottle.

2. Fill the bottle with hydrogen peroxide, and spray all of the hair thoroughly.

3. Comb the hydrogen peroxide through the hair for best results. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes, and rinse with conditioner----do not use shampoo..

4. Continue this process for a week. If scalp irritation occurs, apply a lighter mist of hydrogen peroxide. Hair should gradually become blonde.

5. Ensure the blonde color is desirable, or continue the process until the desired color is achieved. Do not continue this method for more than 2 weeks.

Tips & Warnings

• To hasten the process, spend 2 to 3 hours in direct sunlight after applying hydrogen peroxide to hair---the combination of the sun with the hydrogen peroxide will quickly dye hair blonde.
