| well actually some do they are just not to your liking.. and then some colors are so dark you can't tell if they have or not.. some vendors do bleach them but their quality isn't great so its not worth it for the knots only... that's why you reallly need to try to learn or send them to someone that will bleach them for you.. |

Breh has a easy bleaching of the knots !!!!!
http://sallybeauty.com/Beyond+The+Zone+On/Off+Scalp+Radical+Bleach+Kit/SBS-140500,default,pd.html
I know a lot of CVs use fabric dye, but I found a kit at Sally's called Beyond the Zone On/Off Scalp Bleach kit. It bleached my knots like nobodys business. I basically just mixed a little of the bleach and develper in the bowl that came with the kit so that it was a yougart like consistency and then lightly spread it on the inside of the cap. Be very light handed so that you do not push the bleach through the holes onto the hair and move quickly as well so you dont over bleach the knots. I left it on probably about 10 mins. I then rinsed the bleach off the knots and cap thouroughly. I checked to see if they were my desired color, and they weren't so I bleached them again for about 5 mins, rinsed, washed, conditioned, sealed, and let air dry. That's it, very simple no vasaline is need. I never heard of anyone using vasaline on their cap befor bleaching knots. I have heard of applying a light coating of vasaline or spraying the cap with cooking spray before you color your lf to protect the knots. |

| Alright! I will try again on my own. The last time,even though I tried to be light handed, they were orange and about a quarter inch into the roots. Oh well, live and learn. I will try again very lightly! |

| The best bleached knots I've ever seen were on a unit I got from http://www.MsLola.com - http://www.MsLola.com . It's the only time I didn't have to go back and re-bleach after the vendor. |

| I mix the bleach with the in the bowl so that it is the consistency of yougart and then apply it to the inside of the cap. Be very careful not to press hard when applying it. You don't want to push the mixture through the holes of the lace onto the hair. I am so light handed that only the bleach mixture touches the cap, and barely the bristles of the application brush. Leave the product on for about 10 mins total. Rinse it off really well and then check it to see your results, if it is not to your liking then bleach them again for like 5 mins. Then rinse the bleach of the inside of the cap thouroughly, wash, condition, and seal. That's it. |

| Thanks Breh! Is that product different from the developer and pure white mixture? Does it need to be mixed? |

You're welcome. The kit comes with 40 developer and a bleach package. I'm not sure what pure white mixture is |
. You will have to mix the 2 together. You probably will only need about a table spoon if that much. I have bleached the knots on 3 units with that one kit, and I still have enough to bleach probably 3 to 4 more. Posted By: newtolacewigs

| I've got to bleach the knots on my unit tonight. I'm going to sally's after work to pick up the kit that Breh used. I'm just totally nervous that I'm going to mess this up. |

What do you think you did wrong? Do you think you left it on too long? Please let me know so that I can try to avoid this.

| yea you to use a brush to lightly skim across the top of the lace just enough to do coverage that's it.. |

| I just used this product too and it worked, but I put too much on the lace and it got on my roots. I liked how easy it was and the kit had everything you needed. |

Instead of using the brush, use a Qtip or makeup sponge! |

| The last time I bleached my knots. The hair in the top fell out. I have a new wig and I am afraid to bleach. I already sealed the knots. I am thinking of trying to bleach the knots and see how it goes. |

Sorry if this is a dumb question...but are you saying that you did not have to use RIT to lighten your knots before using this bleach product???
Was your wig a 1b or a 2??
