Bleaching hair with Hydrogen Peroxide?

If your hair has any brown in it at all, it will lighten to an orangey-gold color with straight peroxide. If your hair is more of a neutral greyish, or ash blonde, you may not have problems with it going "off color." Also, drug-store first aid kit peroxide will take many applications before you see any noticeable results. The peroxide bleach used professionally is a much higher concentration, and typically blended with other bleaching chemicals.

Personally, I'd stick to a highlighting kit from the store for an easier time. That way, you dont have to buy specialty products that dont come with instructions. If your hair is only 1/2" long, one highlight kit will probably lighten it all just fine, and the instructions are straight forward.

If you're really worried about the results, have a professional do it. Just make sure you get a nice moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for lightened hair, 'cause professionally done or not, it is going to be dried out.
