Q&A for How to Get White Hair

Make sure you get a bleach kit that says it's safe to be used on the scalp. Some bleach kits aren't, so you really want to make sure you're getting one that's scalp-safe.

You should avoid re-bleaching the hair if possible. Some hair can hold up to two applications, but a third usually results in breakage.

Red is the rarest natural color. Blonde is the second rarest. Brunette hair is more common.

You can create a powdery wig look with baby powder. You may be able to achieve white if your hair is already blonde, but dark hair will show through.

White hair is hair without pigment. It is natural for those with pigment disorders or the elderly.

Did the stylist tone your hair afterwards? If not, you will need to purchase a toner and tone your hair. You will also need purple shampoo because it removes yellow tones from the hair.

Since your roots are already white, you shouldn't need to bleach them. You can bleach the rest of your hair (minus the roots), and since it's light blonde, it shouldn't be a lengthy process. You will need to followup with a toner afterwards.

The toner will fade and let your hair return to the color it was right after you bleached it, but the bleach will not fade, as bleach actually removes your own color from your hair.

No it's not possible, you have completely removed the color from your hair. You will have to dye over it or wait for it to grow out.

Try toning it again and leaving it on for longer. Or, you may not have bleached it to the palest colour and you may need to bleach it again.

Start by applying bleach to the mid-shaft and ends of your hair. When it has reached the level of lift you're looking for, apply bleach to the roots. Your scalp is sensitive and shouldn't be bleached with a high-volume developer (40), or more often than once a week, or you risk burning your skin.

Bleach, dye, and heat treatments all do damage to the hair, but you can minimize it by applying coconut oil for several hours before you bleach. You can also treat the hair with Olaplex, a two-step process that repairs broken bonds in your hair. Many salons now offer Olaplex treatments; you can also buy the product from a website and do it yourself.

Technically you could bleach out the black but black dye is very stubborn, with a likely result being orange hair too delicate to re-bleach. Your best options are to try a lightener to bring it from black to a softer tone or to leave it grow out. Get regular hair cuts to speed up the removal.

No, toner shampoos are meant for white or silver hair, to keep the yellow and orange tones out of it.

You're in luck. Natural "grey" hair is actually white, and only looks grey mixed with your other hair color. Focus on dyeing the rest of your hair white, and the "greys" should fit in well once you're successful.

If you've dyed your hair more than once, some strands may have a different starting shade and thus will react differently to toner or dye. You may need a different shade of product for that area. Each treatment does damage your hair, so if possible seek professional treatment instead of experimenting.

Purple shampoo only works if you have reasonably light blonde hair after bleaching. If your hair is yellow or orange, you'll need to use a toner, because the blue dye might not cover it properly.

Speaking from experience, it's best to wait between treatments. However, since toning is not as hard on your hair as bleaching, you won't hurt your hair as much if you tone directly after bleaching it.

Yes but don’t apply it to the whole head just your bangs.

Yes, you can.

To achieve white hair, you'll likely need to bleach it. Initially, dark hair might turn orange, so you may need to bleach it again after repairing any damage. When I bleached my hair at home, I did it twice to reach platinum blonde, using Wella T18 and a purple shampoo weekly. A purple hair mask can also be helpful. For bleach, I used L'Oreal 7 Levels Lighter, which is ammonia-free. Consider strengthening your hair first with a product like Moroccanoil oil or Olaplex No. 3 for better results.

Use violet-based toners like Wella T18 or Fanola No Yellow Mask to neutralize yellow tones. For very light hair, these will help achieve a snowy, white finish.

You can try purple shampoo or conditioner to neutralize yellow tones. Natural options like diluted apple cider vinegar rinses or blue shampoos may also help reduce brassiness, though they might be less effective than professional toners.

You can bleach your beard, but facial hair is often coarser and more sensitive. Use a facial-safe bleach kit and follow with a toner. Moisturize well afterward, and consider doing a patch test first.

You need to bleach your hair to a pale yellow before applying white dye or toner. Without bleaching, the white dye won't show up properly on darker hair, making bleaching essential for true white results.

Natural methods like lemon juice, chamomile tea, or hydrogen peroxide can lighten hair slightly, but won't turn it white. For white hair without bleach or chemical dye, wigs or hair chalks are the only non-damaging options.

Your hair might be too light or porous, causing the toner to over-deposit. Try diluting your toner or leaving it on for less time. Using a gentle purple shampoo instead might give you more control over the tone.

You can dye your hair at home, but use ammonia-free bleach to minimize damage. Be cautious, as bleaching can permanently damage your hair.

Achieving snow-white hair quickly is difficult without damaging it. However, using high-lift bleach with professional toners like Wella T18 or a violet-based toner can speed up the process. Always space out bleaching sessions to protect your hair.

Yes, because there's less hair to tone, treat, and bleach. Root regrowth is also less noticeable, and frequent trims help keep the color even and fresh.
