Bleach powder and developer is usually measured in scoops, meaning you use the plastic scooper that comes with a tub of bleach powder. For a 1:1 ratio, you’d mix 1 scoop of bleach powder and 1 scoop of developer. The mixture will not look blonde; it should be blueish-white or blue. It also shouldn’t be too soupy or too thick. It should have a consistency like gravy. If you’re using it, now is the time to mix in the red gold color corrector. Follow the instructions on the bottle.
If you have dark hair, wait 20 minutes after applying the bleach to your ends before putting it on the roots. Keep a towel nearby to wipe bleach off your face or arms.
