How to do color clashing at home

Tips from the Bleach stylists on dyeing streaks of hair with multiple colors

What you’ll need: 

How to prepare: 

  • Read the instructions provided with all products. 

  • Always do a Strand Test for our bleach kits and a Strand & Sensitivity Test for toner kits and Super Cool Colours.

  • Before you start bleaching, you’ll want to section! Take a pin tail comb and run it from the middle of the front of the head all the way to the nape of the neck. Section away the half of the head that you want to keep dark. 

STEP 1: BLEACH

First, lighten your hair using our Total Bleach Kit. Start with the mid-lengths and ends – heat from your scalp makes the first 2 cm or ¾ of an inch of hair develop more quickly, so you need to give the rest a head start.

  1. Section out the chunks of hair you want to leave your natural color and clip away or plait them so they don’t get bleach and dye on them.

  2. Use the tip of your tint brush or sectioning comb to section out thin slices of hair and apply your bleach mixture liberally. 

  3. Gently massage it in as you go to make sure every hair is coated in bleach. This is essential for the maximum, most even lift!

  4. Work through your whole head. Slice. Bleach. Massage. Repeat! 

  5. Let the bleach develop for 20-40 minutes.

  6. Then do your roots with the same slicing technique. Set a timer for 30-45 minutes. 

  7. Check the hair every 10 minutes by gently scraping the bleach away from your roots with the edge of your tint brush to check the colour and condition of your hair.

  8. Once you’re done, rinse until the water runs clear.

  9. Gently towel dry, then it’s time to tone!  

STEP 2: TONER

Our Champagne Super Toner Kit neutralises brassy bleach yellows and balances out your blonde for a champagne blonde base. We’ll drink to that!

  1. Centre-part your towel-dried hair and apply the toner mixture to the warmest/yellowest bits of your bleached hair first, then do the rest. 

  2. Remember to saturate and smoosh! 

  3. Let your hair develop for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with cool water and condition with Reincarnation Mask for added nourishment. 

STEP 3: COLOR

Curious Orange and Slime Light Super Cool Colours are electric, citrus-y dyes that go well together. Alternatively, choose any two colors you want, but remember to leave your roots untouched for this look!

  1. Centre-part your towel dried hair and apply Curious Orange to your hair, leaving at least 2 cm or ¾ of an inch at the root and ends. 

  2. Apply Slime Light to the ends of your hair. 

  3. Comb through to make sure the color is evenly distributed.

  4. Let your hair develop for 10-20 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
