It also doesn’t hurt that since it’s not on your head, you can really see what you’re doing. Just fill up a plastic container with your bath and soak the hair while brushing the mixture through the strands. With a wig or extensions, you can go nuts. Because your scalp is sacred, when you DIY a bleach bath at home, Leann recommends avoiding doing the roots if you can. Once you’re done you’ll either need to go back in with toner or apply the next color, but all in all it can be done within one afternoon. You should be able to see the bleach in action within minutes of applying the solution to your hair and you only have to wait about 30 minutes (give or take depending on what you started with) for the finished product. It’s an easy, quick fix if you’re looking to change colors.The tools and ingredients you need are readily available at a drugstore or a Sally Beauty. This really depends on your tolerance for risk, but many people opt to do it at home to avoid expensive salon visits.
