it could turn out very orange and look terrible
Cream developer alone will not lighten your black hair. You will need to use a bleach or lightener with the cream developer to lighten it.
no bleach will kill all the col.our in your hair while the lighhtner pros use doesnt
Yes it is okay to add some conditioner to your developer. Everyone knows that lightener/bleach is bad for your hair and dries it out, but there are two kinds of lighteners/bleach, on the scalp and off the scalp. The on the scalp lightener already have some type of conditioning agents in it, not saying that it won't damage your hair but it is better if you use some high quality lightener and developer, as it conditions while it's lifts. You can also add some protein conditioner to your mixture you already have as it will be better for your hair and less damaging.
Developer of any volume won't do much of anything by itself. It will need to be mixed with a lightener and yes, it will be suitable for your needs once it is mixed with a lifting agent.
No. Bleach will affect your eyes, your skin and are very harmful if swallowed. Regular lightener only cost about $3.99 at the most for a pack of it and developer cost about the same if you are purchasing a one time usage procedure.
I would say bleach so that you can get your old color off first. If you just use the lightener first it will just make your hair a lighter color.
You buy bleach developer and powder, liquid, or oil bleach. Put it on the tips of your hair and wash it with tonerafter 30 minutes or so.
No.
Hydrogen peroxide are mixed with dye and or lightener/bleach to make your hair lighter.
No you need the powdered bleach with the developer.
No, developer alone, (despite the volume), will NOT lighten hair. It will only open the cuticle. In order for lightening to occur, either cream, powder, or oil bleach must be added.
"Bleaching" your hair (rather lightening it, since hair "bleach" is actually an ammonia based compound as apposed to household bleach which is sodium hypochlorite...) is opening the outermost layer of the hair, called the cuticle and lifting (or lightening) its color, or melanin that is found in the cortex of the hair. Depending on the melanin and/or artificial color in one's hair, the lightener will eventually turn the hair to a pale yellow. Persistent hair lightening will damage the cuticle and lead to split ends and hair breakage, so it is advised to go to a licensed cosmetologist if someone is interested in lightening his/her hair. Applying hair bleach, also known as hair lightener (but not to be confused with household bleach) to the hair will lighten the existing color. Contrary to permanent hair color, the volume of the developer does not equate to the levels of lift, therefor, using a lower volume of developer will get the hair to the desired level of lightness with less damage.
