Step-by-Step: Chocolate Brown Highlights Using The Bleach

We’re halfway through summer and have officially entered our relaxation era. Less cooking, more girl dinners. Fewer appointments, more hangs with friends. Less phone time, more healing.

Fewer trips to the salon, more low-maintenance color. Instead of constantly touching up fussy hair color this summer, go for a more natural hue.

Watch @elisasolano take on chocolate brown highlights using The Bleach 30 Volume Hair Lightening System for a look that blends seamlessly into her natural hair color. 

WHAT YOU NEED:

• The Bleach 30 Volume Hair Lightening System (comes with Bleach Powder, Bleach Developer, and Gloves)

• oVertone Coloring Conditioner of your choice

• Hair Starter Kit (comes with a Mixing Bowl, Mixing Brush, and Alligator Clips)

• Old t-shirt and towel

BLEACH IT

STEP 01: Start with clean, dry hair. Brush out knots and tangles for seamless application.

STEP 02: Wearing gloves, add The Bleach powder (1 part) and developer (2 parts) to the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.

STEP 03: Section hair. @elisasolano sectioned the hair at the crown of her head from the bottom layers to start highlighting from the bottom up.

STEP 04: Using gloves, apply The Bleach to small sections starting at the bottom layers and working your way up.

NOTE: SAVE YOUR ROOTS FOR LAST!

STEP 05: Fully saturate your strands to ensure full coverage and even lightening.

STEP 06: Wait 35 minutes (max. 40) for best lightening results. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water.

COLOR IT

STEP 07: Let hair completely dry. Then, apply one of oVertone’s 30+ gorgeous shades of Coloring Conditioners over the highlighted section of hair. @elisasolano used Chocolate Brown and Orange for Brown Hair Coloring Conditioners to get her warm chocolate highlights.

STEP 08: Wait 10-15 minutes for the color to saturate your strands.

STEP 07: Rinse, dry, and enjoy your new fuss-free hair color.

If your shade starts to fade, we recommend adding color to revamp your look. Skip the appointment and revitalize your locks with oVertone’s Daily Conditioners for a burst of color and hydration to keep your hair looking its best.
