Bleaching Kit

Yes the Slick Gorilla Bleaching Kit can be used on most hair types. However, if your hair is very dry, damaged, or chemically processed, it’s best to carry out a strand test first to check hair strength and lift before full application.

The lift is permanent. Once your natural pigment is lightened, it won’t fade back, though new roots will grow in your natural colour. To maintain tone and condition, use toning products like the Slick Gorilla No Yellow Shampoo and Conditioner.

"Each kit contains everything you need for one bleaching session: 1 x Peroxide Developer 30Vol (9%) – 100ml 1 x Bleach Sachet – 25g 1 x Mixing Tray 1 x Wooden Spatula 1 x Mixing Brush 1 x Pair of Protective Gloves 1 x Instruction Leaflet"

Yes, but with caution. Previously dyed or bleached hair may lift unevenly or process faster. Always strand test before applying to the full head and adjust your development time as needed.

Always mix in a well-ventilated area using the provided tray and spatula. Slowly add the peroxide to the bleach powder until you get a smooth, creamy texture, not runny or dry. Avoid inhaling powder or letting it come into contact with skin or eyes. Use the gloves provided in the kit.

Development time depends on your natural hair colour, texture, and desired level of lift. Check the hair every 5–10 minutes during processing. The total time should not exceed 45 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired lightness, rinse immediately with warm water and shampoo thoroughly. Never apply heat or cover with a cap during processing.

If your hair hasn’t lifted enough after the first application, wait at least 7 days before re-bleaching to allow your hair to recover. Use nourishing masks or conditioners during this time to restore strength. Then, you can repeat the process using a fresh mix of bleach and developer but only if your hair feels healthy enough to handle it.

Once your desired lift is achieved, rinse thoroughly with warm water and shampoo until the water runs clear. Follow with a conditioner or treatment to restore moisture.

After bleaching, use Slick Gorilla No Yellow Shampoo and Conditioner to neutralise unwanted yellow or orange tones. This keeps your blonde, grey, or silver shades cool and clean-looking.

Use hydrating products regularly as bleach can dry the hair, so moisture and protein masks help keep it healthy. Toning products will maintain your shade, while root touch-ups will be needed as your hair grows.
