Can I use facial cream bleach to highlight hair?

if i want to bleach just 1 or 2 thin streaks in my short brown hair to color afterwards with a light pink toner, is it ok to use facial/body cream bleach like Jolen? I know it's not made for this purpose and i should buy the proper one etc...but since I only want very few thin highlights would it work? thanksCan I use facial cream bleach to highlight hair?
I've never done this, so I don't know how it would work. I agree that you only need a small amount of bleach, and in a salon, they can mix up what they need. For home use, that is harder to do.





I would think the body bleach would work, but it may not be strong enough to remove enough of the colour that you need to get the pink. With your brown hair, I'm afraid you may only lighten it partially and get to the orange stage and no further. Then you still would need to get more bleach to continue to the lighter stage. You need to get it quite light in order for the pink to show up. If the hair is too dark, the light pink would just get lost in that stronger darker colour in your hair.





Sorry, I can't advise you further on this one. Can I use facial cream bleach to highlight hair?
Yes you can absolutely use a body hair bleach like Jolene to dye highlights in your head hair- just do a strand test or check you hair after 10min Report Abuse

Well, I dont think it would be very healthy for your hair, what with all the chemicals used now.


I think it would be more effective to try using proper stuff, and better, and you might face a few risks if you do use body cream, it might be unlikely but it could still be unhealthy for your hair.


If you want it done well, i would suggest a hair salon, but you could try.


Good luck!
