Six months ago, I've bleached for the first time, and I haven't
bleached it since. I only bleached the ends, not the roots. I want to
bleach it again, but I have the terrible fear of strands breaking off.
I only want to bleach the front ends, not the roots. Some people say I
shouldn't do it because it might break off and some people say it's
fine. Can someone give me a straight answer, please? This is me, as of today.  |

There is a chance some ends might break off, but if you take care of it after, you shouldn't have it be noticeable. I am kind of confused though, are you wanting to change the color of the red, or want it blonde? If you just want to change it, you can just use a color stripper depending on what type of dye you use. ------------- doubt truth to be a liar. |

Hair is more resilient than we all give it credit for. I don't know why so many people are afraid of bleach, using the right product correctly, gives you the most shiny gorgeous hair around. Do a strand test. I highly doubt it will break off, if it does, it's just one strand, right? if your happy, continue where you please. ------------- |

If you are going to bleach the hair again use a low volume of peroxide 20 vol, will be enough to lighten your hair. You can leave bleach on hair for 45-50 minutes, but just keep checking the process.
I see the damage bleach does to hair, trying to help clients who bleach their own hair, incorrectly causing damage. Everyone has different hair types, fine hair coarse hair, porous or high elasticity through chemical treatments, all this has to be considered when apply bleach. ------------- karen sanderson |

| I have bleached more than once and although it's not a good habit to get into, you can minimize the damage with some good preventive maintenance like good deep conditioning. Like previously mentioned just use regular 20 volume peroxide, good luck ! |
