So, I followed the bleach bath directions for my Indian light yaki unit ...

One gallon very hot water, 2 ounces Clorox bleach, and no more than two minutes of detangling.  However, my unit never detangled, but I kept it moving because I didn't know what else to do.
 
One gallon very hot water, 2 ounces amonia, and no more than two minutes of detangling ... urghhh!!! my unit is even worse off than it was before I began.  I now have it sitting in a bucket of conditioner while I'm at work.  I'll try again when I get home tonight. 

How soon after a bleach bath can I bleach bath again?  Dead  Any other suggestions?

did you comb it out b4 you did the bleach bath? i mircowave the water to make sure its hot, i also up the doseage a tiny bit for the ammonia part b/c that's what really clears the tangles, plus your suppose to pick up the unit and run a wide tooth comb thru it and put it back down into the solution.. that way your able to see how its detangling and making sure the chemical are doing its work with hair that's not tangled while in there..

 

OK JUST REREAD YOUR POST: its 1/4 cup of bleach in ONE GALLON

1/4 CUP IN 3 cups of HOT WATER NOT A GALLON.. YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.

Yea, what Sexi said and make sure you're combing in the right direction. When in the Clorox comb downard with the base face up and when in the anmonia comb down with the base facing down. Also, make sure you're using a wide tooth comb, I like to use a Vent brush or a cushion brush because the teeth are closer which gets the tangles out better without pulling out too many hairs like normal teethed combs Also, check out the Bleach Bath Video at HairDirect. I follow their technique and it comes out great everytime!

Hey sexi she followed the Directions  From Hair direct.
Professional Strength Bleach Bath By Hair Direct, compliments of the Queen Puppyluv
 
(this is a more intense bleach bath might be considered by those that have already experienced a matted hair on your unit after washing, in an attempt to salvage your unit)
 
the 1st bleach bath instructions should be used as a preventative measure to avoid tangles. If you are not experiencing tangling, or don't have unit that has matted, use the less intense 1st bleach bath instructions to prevent future tangles.
 
Professional Detangling Process for Human Hair Replacement Systems

WARNING:

The following process is identical to the one commonly used by professionals in the hair replacement industry for detangling most human hair systems. 

Although it is a relatively simple process, if executed improperly, may result in permanent damage to your hair system.

You Will Need:

Large sink with access to hot water.
At least 2 gallons of hot tap water.
2 oz. of Clorox™ bleach (must be Clorox™ brand).
2 oz. of regular household ammonia.
Wide tooth comb or brush (Vent Brush).
Instructions:

Step 1: Setup for Clorox™ Scrub
Draw one gallon of hot tap water into the sink. Next, pour the 2 oz. of Clorox™ bleach into the sink with the hot tap water.

Finally, place the tangled hair into the water carefully and begin the next step promptly.

CAUTION: DO NOT allow the hair to be in contact with the Clorox™ & hot water mixture for more than 2 mintures!

Step 2: Clorox™ Tangle Scrub
Using the wide tooth comb or vent brush, gently brush through the hair from top to bottom. Concentrate on the most tangled and knotted area of the hair.

The tangles should come out while brushing and the hair will become silky. Be careful NOT to brush more than 2 minutes while the hair system is in the Clorox™ mixture.
Step 3: Rinse Hair System
Drain the Clorox™ and hot water from the sink. Then begin to thoroughly rinse warm water through the hair system. While rinsing, keep the weft of the hair facing up. This will prevent the hair from inverting and tangling again.

Step 4: Ammonia Scrub
Draw another gallon of hot tap water into the sink. Pour the 2 oz. of ammonia into the sink with the hot tap water. Place hair in sink.

Start brushing the hair system again, same as before. Use a wide tooth or vent brush and gently comb hair for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5: Final Rinse
Drain the ammonia and hot water from the sink. Then begin to thoroughly rinse warm water through the hair system again. Remember, while rinsing keep the weft of the hair facing up.

After the final rinse, your hair should be silky smooth and tangle free. If you continue to have problems with tangling.

Thats the one that i follow also it seems to work well for me Do you reccomend doing the other one.2 ounces
does equal 1/4 cup so she did it right but maybe she need to follow the 1/4 cup to the 3 cups that one seems more potent.
which one do you use so i know which one works the best.
