Bleach highlights - are you all just leaving yours alone

[TashieWoo]

I am a natural dark blonde and have bleach highlights every 8 weeks - whole head followed by a few half heads usually. Just bleach, I don’t even have a toner as I use purple shampoo anyway and because I wash my hair every day a toner never lasts long.

My roots are really starting to get on my nerves and it affects the texture of my hair too. Are all of you with highlights leaving well alone until the salons open again or have any of you attempted to use bleach at home?

Please please step away from the John Frieda (or any other) lightening sprays or shampoos.

They contain peroxide and/or metallic salts and they will wreck your hair. Either now or when you go back to have it bleached or highlighted.

Google it. Please don't do it.

I'm just leaving it. Usually have a short bob too but not touching it atm even though I hate hair round my neck. Half the country will have rare looking hair before this is through, we'll all be in the same boat, so I'm leaving well alone!

I'm dark blonde dyed to platinum and as tempted as I am to pick up the bleach I'm leaving well alone and putting up with the roots. I have a bob so it isn't going to take much more regrowth before it looks like balayage.
