This review details my experience using BRITE Hair's vegan bleach and silver semi-permanent hair color for a root touch-up. My goal was to lighten and seamlessly blend my dark, graying roots with my existing ashy silver hair, without causing significant damage. I chose BRITE Hair's products due to their vegan formulation and attractive packaging, and because I was provided with a selection of their products for review, including bleach, a purple shampoo, and rose and silver semi-permanent colors. This review will cover the application process for both the bleach and the silver color, highlighting the ease of use, effectiveness, and overall impact on my hair's health and color.The BRITE Hair vegan bleach proved to be a dust-free, easy-to-apply cream formula that effectively lightened my roots. Following the bleach, the silver semi-permanent color provided a conditioning treatment that resulted in a beautiful, even silver tone across my entire head of hair. While a slight yellow undertone remained in the roots, suggesting a possible follow-up toning session, the overall result was a successful and relatively damage-free root touch-up. This review will thoroughly assess the performance of both products, discussing their pros and cons, and ultimately determining their suitability for those seeking a similar hair transformation.

Initial Hair Condition
My hair was in need of a serious root touch-up. The roots were dark with gray hairs, but the grays blended relatively well with my ashy silver hair. However, I needed to lighten and tone the roots to create a more cohesive look.
I decided to use a semi-permanent color to tone my hair. This would allow me to achieve the desired result without causing significant damage.
The BRITE Hair Products
I was sent a selection of BRITE Hair products to review, including their vegan bleach, a pastel purple color shampoo, a rose semi-permanent color, and a silver semi-permanent color.
The products are all vegan, which is a significant bonus for environmentally conscious consumers. The packaging was also incredibly attractive.
Bleaching the Roots
I used the BRITE Hair vegan bleach, which is a dust-free cream formula, claiming to lift up to eight levels. I mixed the bleach with the developer provided in a 50/50 ratio.
The application process was relatively straightforward. I sectioned my hair and applied the bleach to my roots, focusing on the areas that needed the most lightening. I time-lapsed this part of the process.
After 30 minutes, I checked the color. The bleach had lightened my roots to a pale yellow color, and I let it sit for another five minutes to ensure evenness.
Applying the Silver Semi-Permanent Color
Once the bleach was washed out, I applied the BRITE Hair silver semi-permanent color directly to my wet hair. I started by applying it to the roots to ensure full coverage.
The formula is conditioning, which is a significant advantage over many other semi-permanent color options, ensuring my hair remains healthy and well-conditioned.
I let the color sit for 15 minutes, and then applied it to the rest of my hair. I left it on for a total of 30 minutes to achieve the desired intensity.
Final Results and Conclusion
The final result was a nice, even silver color. While there was not a dramatic change from the original silver tone, the roots were successfully blended.
The roots still exhibited some yellow tones, suggesting a follow-up toner would be beneficial for a truly seamless look. However, I was extremely happy with how well the BRITE Hair vegan bleach and silver semi-permanent color performed.
The BRITE Hair vegan bleach was surprisingly easy to apply and didn't damage my hair. It lightened my hair evenly and efficiently. The silver semi-permanent color was conditioning and provided a beautiful, long-lasting color.
