Required ingredients

• Bleach powder
• Suitable amount of developer
• Aluminum foil
• Mixing bowl
• Mixing brush
• Your hair piece
• Blow dryer (Optional)
• T pins (Optional)
• Plastic cap (Optional)

Step By Step Instruction

Step 1: Turn your hair piece inside out and then pin it down to a foam head, if you don’t have one, you can get similar shaped items like a bowl or a ball. In case your hair piece has baby hair, make sure to pin them down using clips to get them out of the way.

Step 2: Get 1 or 2 scoops of bleach powder, add them to the mixing bowl. For each part of bleach powder, you would add an equal part of professional developer into the bowl. Mix it well until the mixture is fully saturated and there is no lump left in the bowl.

Step 3: Get the mixing brush, gently dab the bleach-developer mixture onto the lace, emphasize on Gently. This way, the mixture will be unable to penetrate or leak through the lace and leach your own natural hair. You should apply the mixture enough to cover all the knots. Lastly, wrap your hair piece around using aluminum foil.

Step 4: Keep adding the bleach mixture until there is no longer any trace of the knots. After that, clean your hair piece bleach free. 

Step 5: Quickly rinse the hair piece upside down to avoid having the bleach mixture penetrate through the base layer and get onto the hair strands. After rinsing, wash the hair piece with neutralizing shampoo to stop the effect of the bleach. It is required to leave the shampoo on the hair piece for a couple of minutes, from 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse the shampoo off.

Step 6:  Apply the conditioner onto the hair piece to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. After that, hang it up for air dry or use a hair blower to speed up the process.
