The colorist explains: "Every time we bleach, the wig hair will go through a range of colors that varies from orange, through yellow, to white. Based on the color we want to obtain, we will rinse in the range of colors we want. In my case, we always finish it with a light bath to give the desired tone to the coloring, i.e. warmer or cooler".

 

How Long Is The Bleach Left On The Wig?

The exposure time will depend on the base color, the color you want to achieve (this will determine how many shades you need to lighten), the amount and thickness of the wig hair and, finally, how healthy or damaged the hair is.

That's why it's something that has to be done by a professional who is attentive to the reaction of each hair," says Eugenia Perrone.
