Watch: How to Get the Perfect Bleached Money Piece
The money piece makes no apologies for its shock factor with face-framing highlights that come in head-turning hues from bleach blonde to pastels to fantasy shades.
The trend's resurgence can be partly attributed to TikTok and the compelling DIY component of achieving a low-maintenance bleach job for half the cost and from the comfort of your home.
So when we dropped The Bleach 30 Volume Hair Lightening System, an all-in-one lightening product formulated with key ingredients that are nourishing, hydrating, and toning, it was only a matter of time until someone took the lifting leap and gave their front tresses a gorgeous sun-kissed glow.
Watch this step-by-step tutorial where @ralizabeth uses The Bleach for a subtle switch-up, achieving soft, flattering, fuss-free highlights for summer.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- The Bleach 30 Volume Hair Lightening System (comes with Bleach Powder, Bleach Developer, and Gloves)
- Hair Starter Kit (comes with a Mixing Bowl, Mixing Brush, and Alligator Clips)
- Old t-shirt and towel
READY TO LIGHTEN UP?
STEP 01:
Section off the tresses in the front that frame your face and clip the rest of your hair back.
STEP 02:
Wearing gloves, add The Bleach powder (1 part) and developer (2 parts) to the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.
STEP 03:
Cover up your clothes before you begin the application process. While @ralizabeth used a towel to cover her shoulders, we also suggest wearing an old T-shirt.
STEP 04:
Using the mixing brush, apply The Bleach to small sections starting at the crown of your head and working your way down.
NOTE: SAVE YOUR ROOTS FOR LAST!
STEP 05:
Make sure to fully saturate your strands to ensure full coverage and even lightening.
STEP 06:
Wait a maximum of 40 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water.
PRO TIP: Too brassy? Follow up with oVertone’s Blue Toning Conditioner to help neutralize unwanted tones that come with lightening and achieve the bleach results of your dreams.
STEP 07:
Enjoy your freshly lightened hair.
