Hydrogen Peroxide in My Hair?

What will hydrogen peroxide do to my hair? Does it bleach it? If so is there anything I can do to just have the peroxide turn it a bit lighter instead? How should I apply it to my hair if I decide to? Thanks!

Answer #1

That is bad to use in your hair, It can damage it and you really can’t control the amount it lightens or anything, If you want to lighten it you can either buy Sun In or you can make a mixture of chamomile tea using the herb itself rather than the processed tea, lemon juice, and henna.

Answer #2

sun-in can LEGIT make your hair look a marshmellow (not white… I mean fried and frizzy and puffy) if your hair has a bad reaction to it… even if you used it a while ago and get your hair dyed, it could still react.

and putting pure peroxide on your hair is a recipe for a disaster…especially if your hair is that darker brown shade like in your profile/defualt picture… you will turn your hair ORANGE/COPPER. I promise you that. a dark brown will not lift like you think its going to… its much more complicated then that.

the only way you will lighten your brown hair to a non-copper shade of blonde is if you go to a salon and get it done…
