Dyeing your hair blonde can be a fun and rewarding process, but it's important to approach it with care and caution to avoid damaging your hair or ending up with a color you don't love. If you're considering dyeing your hair blonde like Billie Eilish, here are some steps to follow:
Determine if you can go blonde: Before you start the dyeing process, it's important to consider whether your hair is healthy enough to handle the bleach. If your hair is damaged, dry, or has been chemically treated recently, you may want to hold off on bleaching until it's in better condition. You should also consider your natural hair color and the level of lift (how light your hair will become) needed to achieve your desired shade of blonde. If you have very dark hair, you may need to bleach your hair multiple times to achieve a platinum blonde shade like Billie Eilish's, which can be damaging.
Gather your supplies: To dye your hair blonde, you'll need to purchase a hair bleach kit, a toner (if desired), a conditioning treatment, and gloves. It's important to follow the instructions on the hair bleach kit carefully, as using too much bleach or leaving it on for too long can damage your hair. You may also want to consider using a hair dye brush to apply the bleach, as it can help you avoid getting the bleach on your skin or in your eyes.
Protect your skin and clothing: Before you start the dyeing process, protect your skin and clothing by applying petroleum jelly around your hairline, neck, and ears to prevent the bleach from coming into contact with your skin. You should also wear an old shirt or cape to protect your clothing from any bleach spills.
Section your hair: To make the dyeing process easier, you'll want to divide your hair into small sections using hair clips. This will allow you to apply the bleach evenly and avoid missing any spots.
Mix the bleach: Follow the instructions on your hair bleach kit to mix the bleach according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It's important to use the correct ratio of bleach powder to developer, as using too much or too little of either can affect the final result.
Apply the bleach: Starting at the back of your head, use the hair dye brush to apply the bleach to each section of hair. Be sure to apply the bleach evenly and avoid getting it on your skin or clothes.
Process the bleach: Once you've applied the bleach to all of your hair, you'll need to wait for it to process. The amount of time you'll need to wait will depend on the strength of the bleach and your desired level of lift. Be sure to check your hair every 15-20 minutes to see how it's progressing.
Rinse and condition: Once the desired level of lift has been achieved, rinse the bleach out of your hair with lukewarm water. Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment to help restore moisture to your hair.
Tone your hair: If you want to achieve a specific shade of blonde, you may need to use a toner to neutralize any brassy tones in your hair. To do this, mix the toner according to the instructions on the package and apply it to your hair, making sure to cover all of your hair evenly. Leave the toner on for the recommended amount of time, then rinse it out with lukewarm water.
Maintain your color: To keep your blonde hair looking its best, use a shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair and avoid heat styling as much as possible.
