Step-By-Step: All-Over Bleach Tips From a Stylist

One of our favorite parts of scrolling on TikTok is the people getting creative with a pair of scissors and some color. Bang-cutting, layer-snipping, hair-coloring — we’re here for it all. When you’re ballin’ on a budget and strapped for time, who wouldn’t get creative at home?


That’s why it’s no surprise that people are ready to bleach their hair alone.


Any stylist will tell you that coloring your hair at home is risky, but bleaching your hair takes a certain level of guts and experience. That was before they used oVertone's The Bleach 30 Volume Hair Lightening System. 


We checked in with a professional hair stylist to show us how to use The Bleach like a pro and to help give your bleaching skills a confidence boost.

BLEACH IT


STEP 01:


Wearing gloves, add The Bleach powder (1 part) and developer (2 parts) to the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.


STEP 02:


Using the mixing brush, apply The Bleach to small sections starting at the top and working your way down.


“Whenever I’m doing an all-over bleach like this, you want to ensure you stay away from the scalp at first, applying just away from the scalp and pulling through the ends.” — ​​@jessicaphillips_hair

STEP 03:


Fully saturate hair to ensure full coverage and even lightening.


STEP 04:


Wait 35 minutes (max. 40) to let The Bleach do its thing. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water.


STEP 05:


Go over hair with oVertone’s The Remedy to deeply condition the hair & seal the cuticle after lightening.


STEP 06:


Show it off and enjoy the results!

AFTERCARE

This high-performance formula cleanses while moisturizing and nourishes your hair through a blend of hair-healthy oils. Don’t forget to deeply condition with The Remedy hair mask for an extra boost of hydration!
