Bleach Q&A
I have really dark brown hair right now,
You seem like you know a lot more about this than I do, but I was wondering what color would my hair turn if I left it in there for about five minutes.
Would it turn a lighter brown, or just go orange?
I’m assuming you mean “bleach” here.
Honestly, I have no idea what it might end up looking like. No idea at all. I’ve never left bleach on my hair that long and I’ve been dying my hair since I was about thirteen (when I would use a rinse of concentrated grape juice to tint my naturally auburn hair — and got a perm so I could look like Marc Bolan), and have not seen my natural hair-colour since I was fifteen or sixteen 9when I started dying it black). And, as it is now, I never leave bleach on for “only five minutes”. It takes maybe ten minutes to cover my head with bleach, and as I’m finishing up, the parts I got first have already tinted from dark auburn to a sort of golden-yellowy colour.
But, going on logic rather than memory, depending on the strength of bleach and developer you use, it won’t get very light, but it will probably always have some orangy tint to it, cos that just seems to be the nature of bleach.
