General Preparation & Mixing
Step 1: Prep Hair. Start with dry, unwashed, detangled hair that’s free of product buildup.
Step 2: Wear Gloves. Put on the Dark & Lovely Gloves from the hair bleach kit.
Step 3: Open Developer. Twist off applicator cap tip and unscrew applicator cap from Cream Developer bottle (2).
Step 4: Add Bleaching Powder. Gently shake Bleaching Powder (1) sachet packets to loosen contents. Cut off the corners of the packets at the dotted line and carefully pour the entire contents of packets, one at a time, into the Cream Developer (2) bottle. Be sure the packet opening is completely inside the neck of the bottle. Keep packets away from eyes and face.
Step 5: Secure & Shake. Screw the flat cap onto the Cream Developer (2) bottle. Point bottle away from face. Shake vigorously for at least 60 seconds to ensure bleach mixture is thoroughly blended until uniform, rich, and creamy.
Step 6: Replace Cap & Use Immediately. Immediately remove flat cap once hair bleach mixture is smooth and creamy. Discard flat cap and replace with applicator tip. Use immediately and proceed to next step.
• Important Mixing Notes: Always shake bottle with the flat cap on for optimal mixing results. Never leave flat cap on after mixing is complete. The container may burst. You should also never leave the tip of the applicator cap unopened after mixing as its container may also burst.
Option 1: All-Over Bleaching
(For hair that has not been previously bleached)
Step 1: Lighten Lengths. Divide hair into four sections and work in quadrants. Right after mixing, begin in one front quadrant, making small sections. Apply Dark & Lovely Uplift hair bleach 1 inch away from the scalp. Mixture should be evenly coated and visible all-over applied areas. Once all of the hair has bleach mixture applied, move on to the remaining quadrants. Use about ⅔ of the bleach mixture.
Step 2: Process Lengths. Leave on for 30-40 minutes. Use a lightning preview test as a timing guide (refer to the preview test section in your kit).
Step 3: Lighten Roots. After 30-40 minutes have passed, apply remaining bleach mixture to the root area, making small ¼ inch parts. Gently smooth mixture onto roots, saturating thoroughly.
Step 4: Process Roots & Check Lightness. Set a timer for an additional 20-30 minutes. To see if desired result is achieved, clean a small piece of hair using gloved fingers or wipe with a napkin. If hair is not lightened enough, reapply mixture and leave on for 5 more minutes. Continue to check every 5 minutes until designed lightness is achieved.
Step 5: Rinse Hair. When time is up and desired lightness is achieved, keeping gloves on, thoroughly rinse product from hair using warm water until water runs clear. No need to shampoo.
Step 6: Condition & Tone. Squeeze excess water from hair. Apply the Violet Toning Care Conditioner (3) to hair. Work through gently and let penetrate for 5 minutes. (NOTE: Use wide-toothed comb if preferred.) Use Violet Toning Care Conditioner (3) when needed to maintain blonde tones, cool down brassiness, and leave hair hydrated.
Option 2: Touch-Up Lightening
(For hair that has been bleached all over 4-6 weeks previously)
Step 1: Touch-Up Roots Only. Do not apply bleach mixture on previously bleached hair as this could cause breakage. With the tip of the applicator, make small ¼ inch parts and apply Dark & Lovely Uplift Bleach mixture onto the new growth only. Continue making parts and applying product until all new hair growth is saturated. A thick coating should be visible and evenly distributed all over applied areas.
Step 2: Time It & Check Lightness. Start timer for 30 minutes. To see if desired end result is achieved, clean a small piece of hair using gloved fingers or wipe with a napkin. Hair should be a pale yellow. If hair is not lightened enough, reapply mixture again and leave on for 5 more minutes. Continue to check every 5 minutes until desired lightness is achieved. Do not exceed a total processing time of 60 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse Hair. When time is up and your desired lightness has been achieved, keeping gloves on, thoroughly rinse product from your hair using warm water until water runs clear. No need to shampoo.
Step 4: Condition & Tone. Squeeze excess water from hair. Apply the Violet Toning Care Conditioner (3) to hair. Gently work through and let penetrate for 5 minutes. (NOTE: Use wide-toothed comb if preferred.) Use Violet Toning Care Conditioner (3) when needed to maintain blonde tones, cool down brassiness, and leave hair hydrated.

Uplift Bleach Kit FAQs
-
Can I Use the Uplift Hair Bleach Kit on Natural, Textured Hair?
You can use Uplift Hair Bleach Kit on natural, textured hair because it was formulated for natural and curly textures. To prep your hair for this bleach kit, start with hair that hasn’t been washed for a few days and is free of styling products. On the day you color your hair, detangle and conduct a strand test. -
Can You Bleach Wet Hair?
You should not bleach wet hair. Bleaching should always be done on dry hair for even lightening and safety. Bleaching wet hair carries several risks, such as scalp irritation, uneven results, more damage, and a higher chance of overprocessing. Our hair bleach should be applied to dry hair using the instructions provided in the kit. -
Should I Wash My Hair Before Applying the Uplift Hair Bleach Kit?
You should wash your hair 24-48 hours before applying the Uplift Hair Bleach Kit to remove any buildup on your scalp. You don’t want to wash your hair right before you bleach your hair because you need to give your scalp time to produce natural oils that will protect it during bleaching. -
How Long Should I Leave the Bleach Kit In?
You should leave the Uplift Bleach Kit in for the recommended time, which is between 20 and 30 minutes. After time is up, you should proceed with the rest of the steps in the instructions, which include rinsing out the bleach and conditioning your hair with the brass-removing Violet Toning Care Conditioner. -
Can I Use the Hair Bleach Kit on Previously Colored Hair?
You can use the hair bleach kit on previously colored hair, but understand that your hair may lighten differently and appear patchy. It’s best to conduct a strand test before bleaching previously colored hair to see how your hair will turn out. You may also need a longer processing time for even results. -
How Often Can I Safely Bleach My Hair?
To help ensure you are safely bleaching your hair, we recommend you wait at least 6-8 weeks between sessions to maintain hair health. Try deep-conditioning treatments during this period to give your hair time to rebuild strength. Hair undergoes a lot of processing during bleaching, so it benefits from rest so it can recover. -
How to Bleach Dark Hair Without It Turning Orange?
You can bleach dark hair without turning it orange by combining bleach with toner or using a higher-level developer for gradual lift. Additionally, using a post-bleach toner can neutralize warmth and provide a smoother final shade. Dark & Lovely Uplift Bleach Kit’s Violet Toning Care Conditioner removes brassy tones and moisturizes. -
How Many Levels Does Uplift Hair Bleach Kit Lift?
Uplift Hair Bleach Kit is formulated to lift dark, textured hair up to 8 levels. Expect dramatic lift that maintains curly hair texture integrity and curl pattern. Our hair bleach kit for dark hair is meant to be less damaging and more hydrating on all curly hair types, making it a strong contender for best bleach for curly hair.
