Sensitive scalp when bleaching

If your client has a slightly sensitive scalp when it comes to bleaching, you should take the following steps:

  1. Assess Scalp Sensitivity: Before proceeding with bleaching, assess the client’s scalp to determine if it is suitable for bleaching. Ensure there are no contraindications or conditions that might make bleaching problematic.
  2. Choose Gentle Bleaching Product: If the scalp is suitable for bleaching, opt for a gentle bleaching product such as Alpine Blonding Crème.
  3. Mix Bleaching Crème: Mix Alpine Blonding Crème with 4.5% Alpine Developer Crème in a ratio of 1 part Alpine Blonding Crème to 2 parts Alpine Developer Crème.
  4. Visual Development: Allow the bleaching mixture to develop visually for up to 50 minutes, keeping a close eye on the progress.
  5. Rinse Thoroughly: After the appropriate development time, gently but thoroughly rinse the hair with lukewarm water.
  6. Shampoo and Condition: Use a suitable shampoo and conditioner designed for bleached hair to ensure proper care and hydration.
  7. Toning (Optional): If desired, you can apply toner using either Couture Silk Permanent or Couture Silk Demi-Permanent colours to achieve the desired shade.

By following these steps, you can address a sensitive scalp while bleaching and achieve the desired results with care and caution.
