I have bleached my hair blonde and my roots have started to show . Can I bleach it again?

I am revealing the truth to wannabe blondes. You can become blonde for less than $40, and you won't get ripped off at a salon and pay $300 dollars for something that costs them less than $10! I too once was a victim of overpriced salons struggling to keep up with my self adored blonde locks.

I finally decided to go to my local beauty supply store and purchase the items that I needed to do my hair myself. I am not a complete genius and I didn't magically know exactly which products to buy. I had to do a little bit of internet research to get started.

But I took a chance, and trust me I was scared! I couldn't believe how simple it was! My hair turned out beautiful, the blonde I always wanted but could never have.

Then I dyed my twin sister's hair, and a couple friends from work, they loved it too! People are always shocked when I tell them I do my own hair! And now I want to share my knowledge with all of you.

You may be skeptical. For instance, you have hair that is already colored a brown, red, or black shade, and you don't want it to turn orange from bleaching it? Or you think you will fry your hair off because bleaching is harsh.

Well let me give you the honest truth. I naturally have dark brown hair that I used to get weaved every month at a salon. The lady that used to do my hair always left a little bit of roots still showing!

She was obviously doing that on purpose so my roots will grow out faster and she will make more money off of me from having to come in more frequently! Finally I got tired of paying so much money to keep my hair blonde, it was not worth it to me anymore. I decided to dye my hair soft black so I wouldn't have to ever worry about roots again.

Well about a week later I couldn't stand not being a blonde anymore! I missed it so much. The first step for me was to get the black out of my hair so I bought a COLOR STRIPPER at my local beauty supply store.

There are a couple different brands. The brand I prefer is called L'Oreal One N' Only Color Fix, which is an unwanted permanent hair color remover and it will work regardless of how long the color has been on your hair. Follow the directions of the back of the box and when you are finished your hair is going as orange as the bitch from the fifth element.

But don't freak out, it won't stay that way for long. Some people will say that you should spread out the process of stripping, bleaching and toning your hair weeks apart because the process is too harsh. Well if you ask me that is B.S., and my hair is just fine!

I stripped the black from my hair. Then I bleached my hair ONCE, and only once, and then toned it. I will explain how to do this in a moment.

If you are a girl that has a light color weave or light brown hair, or you have your natural hair color you do not need to strip you hair color first. Now if you didn't strip your color first you will be bleaching your hair twice, and if you stripped the color off first you can only bleach it once, FOR NOW. When you are finished with the first bleaching it will turn out blonde.

Remember you are still going to tone it so if its a bit yellow its okay! I'm afraid that if you strip the color off of your hair, then bleach twice, and then tone, you might fry your scalp off. Bleaching is the worst part of going blonde and if your hair is already agitated from stripping the color, then bleaching it more than once will be too harsh.

If you did not strip color off of your hair first then you will bleach, bleach again, and tone all in the same day. Since I am a person that stripped the color off of my hair before bleaching it, I only bleached it once. Then I waited about a week to give my hair a break, but not too long of a break because we don't want to get roots yet!

After a week then you will completely bleach your hair one more time, and tone one more time. This will make your hair a light blonde. If you are happy with the blonde that you achieve the first time then just stick with that.

You don't have to bleach it again. I PROMISE IT WILL LOOK GREAT! I've turned black and dark brown hair platinum blonde, if I can do it you can!

Now, if you're the skeptic who thinks your hair is going to fall out if you bleach it, you're wrong! If you follow my directions that are very clearly laid out for you step by step then you will be fine. My hair is soooooo so thin.

I'm not exaggerating, it is really bad. If I try to put it in a low ponytail it looks like a frickin' skinny rope of blonde hair dangling from my head. MY HAIR DID NOT BECOME THIN FROM BLEACHING IT, IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN THIN.

Gotta' love genetics! So if my hair doesn't fall out (and I've been doing this for quite a while) then yours definitely will not. Seriously, you have nothing to be worried about!

The hairstylists just try to scare you so you won't do your hair yourself, and that way they can continue to make money off of you. Makes sense right? Now that I have hopefully steered you in the right direction and took away your fear of bleaching your hair, I will now explain step by step how to become a bangin' blondie!
