Bleach & Dye
So many vibrant colors! I’ve been dyeing my own hair for years and Arctic Fox is my go-to for all fantasy colors. It smells incredible (like pixie sticks!) and my hair always comes out bright & soft
Semi Permanent Hair Color 8 oz.
I use this sensitive scalp developer to mix with my bleach (also on this list) to lighten my hair before applying the dye. It’s so gentle and I’ve never had it burn my scalp!
Sensitive Scalp 20 Volume Creme Developer
The best bleach! I mix this with 20 volume sensitive scalp developer (it’s listed on this list as well) - works wonderfully, it’s never fried my hair
Bright White Creme Lightener
These color depositing conditioners are how I keep my hair vibrant between dye sessions! I put it on about half an hour before the shower and then wash my hair like normal. So quick and easy and smells like candy. I love that barely any color comes o...
Color + Clenditioner
Useful tools
You’ll need a bowl and brushes (also listed in here) to mix your bleach in! I keep two on hand because I like to squirt my color out of the bottle into a bowl as well - makes it quick and easier to apply
Hair Color Mixing Bowl in Black
A good brush is a must have to apply your bleach and dye! I use two, one for each product. Love that these have the pointy end to part your hair with as you go. Don’t forget gloves to protect your hairs! (They’re listed in here too)
Extra Wide Jumbo Tint Brush
I cannot express how important gloves are when using bleach or fantasy dye! It’s so hard to get back out of your skin and nails. I use two pairs, one while dyeing and one while washing out in the shower (don’t skip this step!!!)
Medium 10ct Black Nitrile Gloves
After bleaching I always deep condition to restore my hair (I have curly hair and don’t want to ruin my curl pattern). I use this while washing out the bleach and it makes the entire experience so much easier. Bring a brush or comb into the shower wi...
Therapy Session Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
Cover your hair line and ears with this to protect them from getting stained with the dye! Thank me later

Oops you got some dye on … the floor, the sink, your skin, the shower… this will take it right out! Let it sit for a few mins and then viola , dye free. Do not use it on your hair … unless you are trying to remove the color. Then yes, use it on your ...
Suave Daily Clarifying Fresh Cleansing Shampoo - 22.5 fl oz
I keep a couple black towels on hand for dye days! I lay them over the counter or floor to prevent messes. Your hair will also drip color for a bit, especially after the first wash. So having a dark towel you don’t care about staining is key!
Everyday Hand Towel Black - Room Essentials™: Cotton Terry, Midweight, Machine Washable, OEKO-TEX Certified
