Unboxing and Product Overview
The package arrived, containing the extra strength cream hair bleach, activator, a small cup, a pre-conditioner, a spatula, and instructions. The packaging advertised it as the number one selling bleach brand. The pre-conditioner is designed to prepare the skin before bleaching, much like a pre-treatment for hair styling.
The bleach and activator are intended for mixing in the provided cup using a 2:1 ratio (bleach to activator). The spatula is for mixing and application. The instruction booklet offers detailed application guidance, which is always helpful for first-time users.
Application Process
Before starting, I washed and patted my face dry. Then, I applied the pre-conditioner to the area around my mustache using a cotton ball, letting it dry completely. This preparation step is important to protect skin.
I mixed the bleach and activator according to the instructions, achieving the correct consistency for application. A smaller quantity was used for a smaller target area, my mustache only. The application involves gently spreading the mixture evenly onto the target area.
Waiting and Results
After applying the mixture, I waited for the recommended eight minutes. It's important not to exceed this time to avoid skin irritation or damage. Removing the mixture involved using a wet washcloth and gently wiping off the bleach.
Final Verdict and Conclusion
The Sally Hansen bleach worked, lightening my mustache hairs noticeably. The results weren't uniform; some areas were lighter than others. However, the overall effect was a significant reduction in the darkness of the hairs. The product is effective for lightening facial hair, though even application may require practice.
I'd recommend this product for those looking to lighten facial hair but emphasize the importance of following instructions carefully for optimal results. This product can be effective, however even application is a key factor for consistent results. Remember, everyone's natural hair is beautiful.
