First, a disclaimer. This is not a very helpful tutorial but it's not bad for a review but it has more pictures of my face than normal... also if the eyelashes look off or inconsistent in pics its because I cbf putting on mascara or falsies so all lashes are just photoshopped LOL. Also mega vanity post.
The picture at the top is actually my hair after I'd already bleached it once (still with the same Palty bleach in this post) and left it in for 1 hr. If you wanna see what my hair looked like before any bleaching at all just go back
here.
Even though I left it on for that long it only took my hair from black to what the back of the box said it would be at 15 min u___u wtf fail. That's why I had to spend more money and buy yet more bleach.
This is what I was hoping for. The good thing about Palty is that it doesn't take very long to actually bleach the hair, first time I actually applied the bleach it only took 10 mins to see a noticeable colour change which I am very impressed about. The Fudge powder bleach I usually use needs to sit and process for about 3 hours to get the same colour Palty acheived in one (although colour change kind of stopped dead at 45 mins, I just kept it on in the hopes that it would do more).
Instructions are fairly self explanatory even though they are in Japanese. Pour powder into bottle of mysterious water and shake, then add the developer cream and shake again. I did this originally but found that I needed to use 2 packs to cover all of my hair since a lot of the product got stuck on the sides of the bottle, so this time I just dumped all the contecnts in a bowl and mixed em myself.
The consistency is quite thin though so if you're using a bowl like me you kind of have to get a bit creative in getting the bleach on your head. Pouring from the bowl is just stupid and messy and using a brushy comby thingy (that's the technical term) is near pointless because it all just runs off and nothing gets on your hair in the end. I found that the best way to go about things is to dip your gloved fingers in and quickly rub your hair and try not to drip bleach everywhere.
In the end you should get something like this. Whack on the included shower cap and leave for however long you want (I kept it on for an hour like last time) hey look no shopped lashes. The results?
Still not as bright pale blonde as I wanted...
...this is how I wanted it to turn out. These are the bits which were previously (professionally) bleached and have lightened quite a bit.
Also for your viewing enjoyment: my blue fail. Since I didn't have any toner to fix up the pre-bleached bits I decided to get all Macgyver on this and mixed some blue hair dye into conditioner. Well it GRABBED and now I have a patch of pastel blue hair. That's actually the colour I was going to turn it into after going blonde all over, but it looks so yuck next to almost orange blonde! Blue should be good though and at least I know it's possible now haha.
PS again: I like how it looks with a beige hat. Here's the one photo taken of blondie that wasn't from today Also wtf Jules and his face
