How to Bleach
Before you begin: Read the enclosed instructions completely. Always perform both a patch test and a strand test before full application.
Patch Test
Prepare a small amount of the bleach mixture according to the enclosed instructions. Apply as directed in the kit instructions and monitor for a reaction. Do not use the product if irritation occurs.
Strand Test
Apply the prepared mixture to a small, hidden section of hair. Monitor the strand to evaluate processing time, lift, and hair condition before proceeding with full application.
Application Steps
- Put on the enclosed gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.
- Mix the bleach powder and 40 Volume Cream Developer exactly as directed in the enclosed instructions.
- Divide dry, unwashed hair into manageable sections.
- Apply the mixture evenly while avoiding direct contact with the scalp.
- Monitor hair throughout processing and never exceed the recommended processing time.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the bleach mixture is completely removed.
- Shampoo thoroughly with Prepare to DyeĀ® Clarifying Shampoo to help remove residue and prepare hair for color.
- Rinse again and assess your hair level before toning or applying Manic PanicĀ® semi-permanent hair color.
Always follow the complete directions, warnings, and safety information enclosed with your kit.
