3. Once mixture has been completely applied to hair, begin timing development. Check development of hair every 10 minutes to evaluate lift (color). To do this, take a few strands of hair and wipe away bleach with a damp paper towel, spread apart strands of hair, if desired shade has not been reached, reapply bleach mixture to that area and continue processing. During Lightening, hair goes through various stages until reaching desired lightness. Lightening time varies depending on natural hair color. The darker the hair, the longer the lightening time. The chart below shows the approximate time for various hair colors to achieve pale yellow. The bleach will continue to lighten hair for up to 2 hours if hair is resistant. Do not over bleach. Washing Out: Once desired shade has been reached, rinse bleach out of hair, shampoo thoroughly and condition.

1. Dark Blond 15 to 30 Minutes
2. Light Brown 25 to 35 Minutes
3. Medium Brown 30 to 45 Minutes
4. Dark Brown 45 to 60 Minutes
