This post is for your viewing pleasure only, really, just watch it, we are not a fan of doing your own bleach job even though some people might decide to attempt it. We just don’t want to be responsible for anything burning or melting or falling out, we highly recommend doing any bleach jobs at a salon. Now that we have that out of the way, youtuber OffbeatLook gives a very detailed tutorial on how to do a teal blue ombre color on her hair after bleaching it.
Coming off the heels of that Teyana Taylor post I have been curious about how to achieve such vibrant colors in your hair and was kind of estatic when I saw an actual tutorial. I swear you can find anything on YouTube!
Then I watched the tutorial and I was like, my God could I put my hair through that? The answer is a definite know, I even thought back to in my twenties if I would attempt it, and while I love the idea I probably wouldn’t do it, no matter how you slice it.
Ever wonder what bleach is made of, well I did a little research and I found that most bleaching agents have ingredients like potassium* persulphate which helps to whiten and lift color, and it also has sodium metasilicate which helps to open up your strand and allow the bleach to penetrate the strand.
Bleach depletes your hair strand making your hair porous and allowing you to add whatever color you decide to add to your hair. The color will look great because there is nothing to mix with it so whatever it is you want will essentially be achieved.
If you want crazy colors or platinum blonde there is alot that comes with that and there is even more that is expected afterwards in terms of haircare. You are working with a strand that has be broken and thinned out so your job afterwards is keeping your hair moisturized all the time, deep conditioning* and using protein to keep your hair ‘healthy’.
now watch the tutorial:
We found another video that was done by the same youtuber called the Truth about hair dye, and we thought it would very beneficial to share that video too. Check it out:
Well there you have it, have you bleached your hair before? Share your experience and comment below.

Erica Holloway MrsNewsome says
You really have to understand your type of hair. Some can take it. Some can’t.
Shontel Wilson says
Like your hair Color and style
Daiquiri A. Holland says
No. I mean you could, but it will ultimately destroy your hair. If you’re ok with that and plan to chop again anyway, I say go for it..
Nyca Anthony says
No, no and um noo to bleach
Tynisha Moe Starnes says
Bleaching is for ppl who know how to take care of their hair after the process is done. All you have to do is keep it moisturizer in your hair so it won’t dry n break off.
Bernice Janet Ellis says
My friends daughter just did this yesterday -have never seen process before
Her hair came out gorgeous
Khrystal Bianca says
No, it ruins my curl pattern for some reason. If I wore my hair straight maybe, it’s cute.
Kelly Jamila says
I did my bangs in high school because I thoight it was cool. It was fun experimenting with colors and I only did my bangs so it wasn’t a huge commitment . My hairs always been relaxed so I don’t do it anymore now that I’m a bit wiser on hair maintenaNce and chEmicals but if I had natural hair id def have more fun with color 🙂
Melernea L. Neff says
Not if it comes looking like that picture.
Asha Lewis says
Y’all can’t tell me she not orange. I know Im off subject but to tan or not to tan nevermind. This is pretty and bleach is harmful to some but ONLY SOME
Eboni Taylor says
I have bleached my hair before and it turned out great. I didn’t destroy my hair. I had no breakage, or anything. My hair actually grew as long as I kept up my regimen.
Jenny JackJack says
This hair color is horrible. Simply dreadful.
Janice Banks says
You can use kool aid and get those colors without chemicals.
Gershelle Cunningham says
If you dont know how to properly treat bleached hair, you’ll be bald within a year.
Ashley Butler says
She looks like an oopa loompa sorry
Marsha Mcdaniels says
She look like a clown
Brittlee Jordan Degree says

Lovely Greasham says

Kersha Beaver says

Lyndsay Johnson says

Aliah Classy Allen says
I would I did actually! ! Just make sure you keep as much heat off of your hair and also deep conditioners and hot oil treatments often!
Aliah Classy Allen says
Do not bleach on top of other chemicals! !
Beruda says
I’ve never bleached my hair so I wouldn’ t do this. I think she looks cute though.
Delorce Ferrell says
If you bleach your hair than it’s no longer natural.
Dee Dee Martin says
Natural hair to me is without weave. I dont bleach my hair but I dye it without bleach.
Delorce Ferrell says
Huh? So if you use weave as a protective style your hair is not natural??? I disagree. Only when chemicals are involved. But I caught your drift!
Latisha Lockett says
I do bleach/lighten my hair and it’s still long and healthy, which can be achieved with proper care and maintenance. Color is beautiful and adds both dimension and personality to your style.
Jamila Kelly says
why not? It’s just hair.
Pamela Shorter says
I knooow, but I want blue hair. I’ve been toying with the idea for about a year and a half. I probably won’t but I really want to.
Joanna Troupe says
I’ve been thinking about dying mine blue also.
Phoenix McGee says
My hair is still natural and curly and the consistency hasn’t changed, despite the color having repeatedly. I just give it a good long rest between bleaching and its cool. I’m two toned now and itching to color it. (That’s flat iron work in the profile, a perm can’t touch this. Dun dun da dun, da dun, da dun!)
Delorce Ferrell says
@Phoenix That’s not natural. Yes it may still be kinky but we were not born with bleached hair. JS
Alesha Clayton says
Yes , i always bleach my hair. It was a mess when i had a relaxer, but now im relaxer free its so much better and damage free, my press outs are flawless.
Delorce Ferrell says
@Latisha Even with proper care, everyone’s hair reacts differently.
Akisha Vs Kesh says
Yes I did shortly after I big chopped and it was fun for a while I got tired of it let most of it grow off and did a mini big chop to get the rest off. Thinking of coloring again, but not so much of my hair as I did the first time
Jamila Kelly says
lol natural hair police
Akisha Vs Kesh says
I pay no attention to the natural hair police, I think its hilarious when a person say’s you’re not natural if you dye your hair smh.
Krystal White says
Here come the natural police…ur also not born with a braid out but u do em right? Dont let someone else define whats natural for u…if u dont permanently alter your natural texture ur still natural…
Latasha Nicole says
Delorce Ferrell says
Wow. We adults can’t have a debate without people catching feelings. Weave and Chemical are two completely different things. But I caught your drift!
Velli Velli Velz says
For real! Some people just like to throw their view upon people without checking the mirror
Rivian Jones says
Well I’m a proud permer and I want to cut and color my hair. The color has to look natural and not distracting though.
Dee Dee Martin says
I wouldnt put bleach in my hair I have dyed my hair without bleach before.
Latisha Monique Griffin says
No
Torkwase Burts says
Looking like an oompa loompa
Chanèl Renee says
I think its okay , but the extravagant colors , aren’t necessary to me . Why can’t people try a colored wig first ?
Evon Goodson Graham says
My cousin has this color and she is dark skin but it fit her I think blue also look good on her two I wish those colors fit me!!!!
Tenisha Little says
Nope
Sandra Harrison says
She looks like an Oompaloompa. But for some reason I still really like it.
Tiffany Marie Banks says
Dont do it…..especially not on yourself. I can tell it isn’t professional. It’s very blotchy at least do it right.
Kelly White says
Nope
Malakah Angellia Gladston says
Hell NAH!
Ashley Campfield says
I did it last year and it was okay at first then I did it again, months after and it dried my hair out. Never again, well at least not that close together
Kenisha Misztwerksum Sint Jago says
If u have a prem do not bleach your hair cuz those edges will disappear
Rivian Jones says
I have bleached my hair in the past with a perm and my edges
were still intact. It’s all about doing it right, although I’m not doing another perm to after I have my daughter she has changed my texture. I should have never went natural then permed my hair while pregnant not a good idea.
Nissa Surry says
Yes
Tammie Faulkner Taylor says
I would bleach my hair. But I would NEVER have cartoon character or clown colored hair. If it’s not a color naturally occurring in a human being, it won’t be found in my head.
Tammie Faulkner Taylor says
The things people do to be “different” & ” edgy” are so common that they’re not even “different” or “edgy” any more. Lol
Tia Jenée says
I say the same thing all the time.
Velli Velli Velz says
I think it’s ok but requires a lot of care and maintenance. My friend has bleached natural hair with a blue over tone and it looks great! Due to work I cannot go for these extravagant colours.
Melanie Fenderson Fisher says
If I want too…..its MY HAIR
Wen D Bambino says
No bleaching is good for your hair in the long run just for a color it kills your hair and besides there’s all kinda ways to make your hair a color
If its your hair so do what u want but most likely your gonna ruin it but hey your mostly likely gonna end up getting weave later
Delorce Ferrell says
Yes! Thank you! You are exactly right.
Shannon M Brown says
No
Tia Jenée says
No, my hair’s too delicate.
Earl Joy Roberson says
No!! Highlights is how I became natural in the first place. So now I’m happy with what God gave me!!!!
Delorce Ferrell says
Exactly!
Lucie Jorite says
Did it twice, will probably do it again
Brittani Michelle says
No, my hair is far too fragile and takes forever to recover even from heat (so I only use heat like twice a year now) But I like the way it looks on other people. 🙂
