Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm going to discuss how to lighten hair with peroxide.. I personally do not recommend you lighten hair with peroxide.. It is very damaging to your hair.. It would dry your hair out plus, if you have a lighter level of hair, say if you're a bit of a naturally dirty blond, hair color. It may work for you in order to actually use the peroxide. Peroxide will give very little bit of lift to your hair.. If your hair is naturally that very light color, it may be enough just to give you a soft highlighted look.. In that case, you would simply put on the desired amount of peroxide that you need, or in the areas of the hair, that you want it.. If you would want to kind of paint some areas and just lighten some parts, you would just simply dunk or place peroxide on certain sections of your hair in order to lighten it. Darker hair. I would never recommend you use peroxide. If it lifts you up to any kind of color at all. It will probably wind up being bright orange.. The color will be very brassy.. There is not enough lifting power within regular peroxide that will actually lift your hair to a desired amount.. Each time you would have to dunk your hair or put the pieces of hair hydrogen-peroxide on the pieces of hair. You would have to place it back on in order to get very minimal, results., Very slow and very drying lift action.. My recommendation would be just to go to a salon and have a professional do it or even buy one of those home highlighting kits that you can get in a box now a days at your every day, CVS or Walgreens.. And that is how to highlight, with using peroxide
Comments
CheeryHex: I disagree. I use peroxide on my med. to dark brown roots and it lightens just fine and doesn't dry it out that bad either. It's a lot easier to use because you can be more precise with application and see it as it lightens. plus you don't have to buy 3x more than you need
rockwellelm: I would like to thank you for STOPPING me form damaging my hair and wasting time doing something stupid because I was to lazy to drive my self to the salon.
Maya Maria: its like a medium brown but it slowly gives u highlights u have to keep doing it it depends on ur hair lool well what i did is i put some peroxide in a bowl then got by comb and dipped it in the peroxide then brushed by hair with the comb do it for a week but please be careful it cud cause lots of damage =)

LadyStephyLynn: I've gone from dark brown to a light golden brown using peroxide.
tropicalhusky: that's why you use toner or leave the bleach in longer you can use cholesterol hair products on your hair to make to make it undamaged, it works i personally use pantene shampoo for damaged hair and i heavily straighten my hair constantly and the shampoo works wonders

MsNcM1218: I'm allergic to hair dye so that's why I'm looking in towards hydrogen peroxide.
Cowz221: how i would do it: disired amount: entire bottle step 1: dump entire bottle on to hair step 2: done
lindsayissorad: @mrsgrave8000 I personally wouldn't use peroxide. After I started using it, my hairdresser and my parents and pretty much everyone started bitching at me saying it was really bad, even though after two months, it didn't really do anything to my hair, other than lighten it. I would just dye it.
Lauria Lailah Mannoe: I only really want to lighten my hair so I can dye it back to my natural colour. I don't want extreme things going on. So if it turns into a brassy colour so be i thats my colour.

Oxford Comma: really! how dark is ur hair? cause i want to do the same, but with the tips of my bangs:) how did u do it exactly?
