How it is done

1. 10:31Measure the products exactly and watch the processing time, most of all on virgin hair.
2. 20:58Mix 2.5 ounces of cream developer with one packet of blue bleach powder into a thick paste.
3. 31:59Brush the bleach on, pressing it firmly into your edges so no dark hair shows through.
4. 42:56Cover with a shower cap; for virgin hair, leave it no longer than the instructions say (40 minutes here).
5. 53:24Rinse and wash with a shampoo made for blonde and silver hair.
6. 64:57Mix the toner with twice as much developer, apply it for 30 minutes (it goes purple to cancel brassiness), then rinse and condition.
7. 76:21Get a fresh shape-up so the short cut sits clean.
8. 89:18Bleached hair is very dry: seal in moisturizer and shea butter overnight under a cap and scarf, then co-wash with a treatment for color-treated hair.
