I, personally, have a salon bleach any hair that I am going to be dyeing over. They know what they're doing more than me so I won't have broken, damaged hair and bleaching it means that the color will be much more bright and last longer.
I have just a small section of hair to dye (right now it's just the front part of my hair, but I will be bleaching + dyeing the underside next month), I am able to do all of this myself.
You will need:
- dye. I use three different colors for my hair (The nice thing about Special Effects is that they're vegan, not tested on animals, and the base of the dye is a conditioner.) :
