Platinum blonde hair for men: how to do it at home?
Experts always recommend the super vision of a professional; However, DIY bleaching your hair at home is not that difficult.
If you can't go to your trusted hairdresser, here's how to proceed in the comfort of your bathroom, without damaging your hair
Step 1: Put on old clothes and a pair of gloves
Oxygen for bleaching permanently stains clothes. Use old clothes to avoid irreparable damage. The ideal is an old long-sleeved sweater, thick enough to protect your skin from any product splashes.
Always wear gloves; It is important to protect your hands from strong chemicals, which can irritate or even burn the skin.
Step 2: Tie and section your hair
Use a ponytail comb to divide the hair into at least three sections, secure the strands with barrettes. This will make it easier to apply the bleach evenly by monitoring your progress.
In fact, with loose hair, you would risk passing the product on the same area twice, forming irregular spots, which only a professional would be able to eliminate.
Step 3: Mix the bleach
Melt the components in a non-metallic bowl. Combine one part of the bleaching powder with two parts of the developer, until you get a homogeneous mixture (with a consistency similar to yogurt).
“Developer” is another term to identify oxygen, activator of the bleaching agent able to penetrate the hair shaft. Developers vary in strength, starting from 10 volumes, up to 40 (the most powerful). The darker your hair is, the stronger the developer you will need.
Step 4: Apply the compound
Use a dye brush to apply the mixture to your hair, possibly disposable. In fact, the bleach could damage your regular brush. Avoid spreading the mixture with the comb (it wouldn't do it evenly).
Work the hair starting from the back of the head, proceeding forward, leave about an inch free of bleach at the root.
Once you are done with this procedure, go back and apply the mixture on the roots. This will ensure an even and professional result, because the heat from the scalp will cause the bleach to act faster on the roots.
Step 4: Sit back and wait
Once the bleaching process is complete, put a plastic shower cap on your hair and wait for the color to lighten. The time required depends on the length, density and texture of the hair, as well as the starting color.
Generally, it takes 30 to 45 minutes for the hair color to turn to light blonde. To avoid over-lightening your hair (with serious damage to scalp health), check your color every 10 minutes.
Step 5: Wash your hair and dry it
Thoroughly rinse any bleach residue from your hair, preferably in the shower and not in the bathtub. Then wash your hair with a balancing, repairing shampoo and a nourishing conditioner to neutralize any damage. Let your hair air dry, avoid using a hairdryer.
Step 7: apply toner (optional)
If your hair is very dark, or has reddish undertones, the bleaching process may make it yellow, orange or auburn instead of blonde. To solve this problem and get the color you want, contrast the warmer shades with the toner.
Attention, the toner does not lighten the hair, it contains pigments, it does not bleach. This product can also damage your hair, which is why experts recommend waiting about three days before applying it.
Mix one part of the toner with two parts of 20-volume oxygen, carefully following the instructions on the package. Apply the mixture to damp hair, leaving it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing, under cold water.

Absolutely yes, in recent years they have gained popularity thanks to male celebrities such as Zac Efron, Jonah Hill, Zayn, Riz Ahmed, Pete Davidson and Odell Beckham Jr.
Does bleaching damage the hair?
Again, the answer is yes, especially if you have dry or porous hair. You can limit damage by avoiding excessive lightening, using high quality products and moisturizing treated hair with repairing masks and conditioners.
What does the bleach do?
When combined with the developer, the bleach penetrates the hair shaft, oxidizing the melanin pigment inside. This chemical reaction lightens the hair and cannot be reversed.

What do you need to bleach your hair?
You will need a pair of gloves, bleach, developer oxygen, a non-metal bowl, a coloring brush, a sectioning comb, some clothespins, and a plastic shower cap.
Is it safe to bleach your hair at home?
Yes, it is safe to bleach your hair at home if you take the necessary safety precautions, such as covering yourself with gloves and protective gear to avoid contact of the bleach with your eyes and skin. It is normal to feel tingling or itching on the scalp during discoloration, as long as it does not turn into an extreme burning or painful sensation.
