Part I: Going brunette to blonde in a few hours, w/ only a youtube hair education [diy bleach fail]

Описание: TLDR: I am not a hairdresser, just a diy-er. This was my process documented inspired by other youtube tutorials.

Part 2 of this whole process when I realized it wasn’t light enough:    • Part II: Brunette to Blonde (DIY Bleach Bath)  

After watching some YouTube channels especially my favorite, Brad Mondo, I feel empowered to go blonde and do it all by myself at home.

Process: made a root bowl (R) & midlength/end bowl (ML) for each section. I started with the root and then applied the mid-length. In hindsight, I’d start with the mid length and then go back to the roots/ends at the end of the back 3 sections and at the end up the front 3 sections? Not sure.

1:2 ratios used

Section:#1-3 back sections:
(R), 80 grams bleach, 160 grams 7 vol plus a few drops of STB
(ML) 80 grams bleach, 160 grams 20 vol plus ph plex #1

Section #5 front middle:
(R) 40 grams bleach, 30 grams 7 vol and 50 grams of 20 vol plus a few drops of STB
(ML) 40 grams bleach, 80 grams of 20 vol and ph plex #1

Section #4 & 6 front sides:
(R) 50 grams bleach, 100 grams 20 vol plus a few drops of STB
(ML) 50 grams bleach, 50 grams 20 vol, 50 grams 30 vol and phplex#1

Toner Process: I applied the toner first to my roots and hairline, horizontal, then in vertical bands on front sides. Let it sit , then pulled the toner through mid-lengths and ends, keeping it on for a total of 30 minutes.
Toner Mixture: 1.5 oz 7A + 1.5 oz. 10A and 1oz of 8N and 8oz activating lotion:
