It does work as I've done it myself too, but can confirm it leaves your hair dry, so make sure to use conditioner or mask afterwards. My issue with this video is, that is 100% copies an article I found minutes ago through google. They just added random pictures to the text.
I did this when I had red hair and it worked really well and it did not make my hair unhealthy. It just made my hair a little dry but after I would I'd wash it out and then grease my scalp. (edit) I did the baking soda method with anti-dandruff shampoo so I would use one part antidandruff shampoo to two-part baking soda, and one part water mix it together until it made a paste then I will apply to my hair. I did that twice a week for about a month and a stripped most the red out my hair.
I mixed shampoo baking soda and lemon juice left it on for an hour under a shower cap watching red dye running down the drain during the rinse was fun. I also just use a few drops of essential lemon oil when I don't have lemon juice. Lemon mixed with baking soda acts like a gentle bleach on dye without stripping your natural color doing it right now
@@abilene16 i've personally only ever did this to remove hair dye from my hair, but from what I have heard, you can also use this to remove the natural color from your hair I'm not 100% sure that it will work. I can only tell you that I did it to remove hair dye.
Thank you. I did the stupid thing. I have white hair ( I am old, : ( ) and I wanted a pale brown with a little highlights, and the color I went with left me looking like Little Orphan Annie. I am sick to my stomach over this. To say I'd prefer my white old lady hair is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
i tried baking soda to lighten my hair dye as i did some silly mistake. it works but need to do few times to get better result. i tried, dandruff shampoo and soda, hydrogen peroxide 3% + soda bicarbonate. all of it can lead to lighten the hair color but not so much like u r using bleach. didn't cause damage to my hair. just need to apply conditioner after wash
What if you added a little sugar or honey water to the bleach and, of course, slather coconut oil (which also helps activate as well as moisturize) on BEFORE applying the developer, sugar/honey, and bit of baking soda. Would that be good? In fact, i might try chamomile oil, calendula oil, lavender oil (moisture balancer, color activator), and coconut oil (protector, moisturizer, activator) with honey and sugar water! (Honey also contains natural bleach and moisturiser, but one must have apple cidar vinegar on hand for a Ph balancing rinse and then use a deep mask afterward). My hair likes lemon juice as a rinse, but im afraid that might dry it too much after this. (Sugars added to advanced bleach products help moisturize and protect the strands during the bleaching process, supposedly). Just a strand test first oc. Whatever you do, don't use anything with charcoal in it! If you're a witch (im not) you might know why.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the Head & Shoulders and baking soda mix worked for you and gave you golden highlights. Every hair type reacts differently, so your tip might really help others looking for a similar effect! 😊
Alright bring it on! I've decided to use the Hydrogen Paroxide+baking Soda combo. Mixed it well and applied evenly. Let's see what happens lol im not getting a good feeling about this though 😅
Do not use baking soda IF your hair is already fragile, I made the mistake of doing this after my hair was already bleached (to remove ashy toner) it worked... But my hair did suffer some breaking, luckily in areas that are not noticable! I had to rinse my hair with apple cider vinegar to rebalance the PH in my hair to prevent further breakage. BE CAREFUL doing this!
Thanks for sharing your experience and caution! 🙏 Definitely important to be careful, especially with already fragile hair. Using apple cider vinegar to rebalance the pH sounds like a smart step to help minimize damage.
i did the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda formula, it didn’t really do too much when it was a thick paste on dry hair, so i’m trying again with more peroxide to make a thinner paste, it started to make my skin lighter for some reason so keep it off of your skin
Yes, using just baking soda can help lighten hair, but the results may vary depending on your hair type and color. For naturally medium-light blonde hair, it might work better, but it's always a good idea to do a strand test first to see how your hair reacts. Have you tried it before? 🤔
I did it it was good but If you have a sensitive scalp then it might hurt it stinger a bit for me but no permanent soreness once you wash it out it’s no longer sore
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the baking soda worked for you, but I totally understand how it might cause a bit of discomfort if you have a sensitive scalp. It's always a good idea to do a patch test before applying anything to your scalp to ensure you don't experience irritation. If you ever feel discomfort, it's best to rinse it out immediately. Glad to hear the soreness wasn't permanent! Have you tried any soothing remedies afterward, like aloe vera or coconut oil?
@@jaelynhunter9626 Yes you want to add conditioner with baking soda and lemon juice, I'd say equal parts of each, mix it up, and apply to hair and be in the sun as much as possible! It won't be too gunky on your hair where you need to rinse it out right away, you don't need a lot! I usually rinse at the end of the day. But it works just as good as sun in spray! You could also buy some sun-in if you don't want to do all this!
How long do you need to leave this mixture in your hair? And also does this also works on painted black/brown hair that turned out after painting hair light brown into copper/orange🤮 please would this mixture also work on my hair?😢
@@sars0802 Well it depends if it was a permanent/semi permanent chemical based dye, or if it was a direct dye. Was it one of those ones where you mix two things together? In either case, it can fade any hair dye, but the more permanent chemical dyes will take a bit more effort, and mostly time! The longer you leave it in, the better, but any amount of time, even 20 minutes in the sun and maybe a few hours inside before you rinse out. Do this any day you have time for a couple weeks. You'll see a difference! My daughter and I just did a fun DIY conditioning hair mask for back to school, with egg, coconut oil, leave in conditioner and some aloe vera. We hung out in the sun for at least 45 minutes. I let it stay in my hair for a few hours all together. But even when I washed that stuff out, it helped strip my hair color! I saw a difference in just one try! So do this lemon juice mix and use the sun to make it really work it's magic.
I have used hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to lighten my hair and it definitely works! However my hair was a bit brittle and dry after using it. Took about a month to get back to its normal texture.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mix worked for you, but I totally understand how it can leave hair feeling dry. Always important to follow up with deep conditioning to help restore moisture! 😊
Baking soda can lighten hair, but it might not remove caramel or blonde tones effectively. It can strip color, but results can vary based on your hair type and the dye used. If you're looking to change your hair color, consider consulting a professional for the best results! 😊
Thanks for your question! Baking soda can help with lightening hair and removing product buildup, but it might not be effective at fully removing bleach or color from your hair. Since bleached hair is more porous and delicate, using baking soda could potentially cause dryness or damage. It's best to use gentle hair treatments, like clarifying shampoos, or consult a professional for color removal to ensure the health of your hair. If you're looking to repair bleached hair, deep conditioning treatments can help restore moisture and prevent damage.
This works, but don't use baking soda on already bleached hair because it can and does cause major damage and or breakage. If you want to remove or lighten dye use lemon juice instead of water with shampoo and baking soda mix
I heard that damp hair can take up the peroxide well, but I feel this might damage the hair. I tried it with coconut underneath, and it didn't really make it noticeably lighter. It did add nice blonde highlights, very subtle, but it was drier.
Baking powder isn't recommended for bleaching hair because it contains additional ingredients like cream of tartar and sodium bicarbonate, which aren't effective for lightening. Stick with baking soda for the best results! Have you tried using it yet? 😊

Is it only for unwanted hair dye or can I use this method just to bleach my hair?

Yes, I lighten my hair with H202 & baking soda mixture works well. Hair feels soft afterwards and I do condition.

I tried the mix Head & Shoulders + Baking soda on a permanent level 6 hair dye and I got golden highlights, if it can help anyone.

Add conditioner to this mixture. Sit in the sun when you dry. Or use heat. Sun will do the best work though.
So like add conditioner into the mixture of the baking soda ? Than dry it ?

It looks like it was applied to wet hair but no websites seem to specify whether to apply to dry, damp or wet hair 😢
I heard that damp hair can take up the peroxide well, but I feel this might damage the hair. I tried it with coconut underneath, and it didn't really make it noticeably lighter. It did add nice blonde highlights, very subtle, but it was drier.
Can i use baking powder

No good for Dry hair
DOESN'T WORK
Fake side be side image. Bothe pictures the hair is in the exact same position. That’s impossible if they are supposed to be before and after images.
Im doing this because im bored I’ll update in an hour or tomorrow if i remember
