Hair bleaching FAQ
How many bleaches does black hair need to go blonde?
Usually two to three sessions, depending on your starting colour and the shade you want.
Can bleaching be done in one day?
Two or three rounds can often be done in one long visit if the hair stays strong; otherwise we split it.
Do I need toner after bleach?
Yes — toner removes yellow or orange and creates the final blonde, ash or pastel tone.
