When i bought the dodge, under the rear trunk floor cover, in the spare tire bay, and all over the place was a burst-open hair dye kit, a fairly upscale brown kit.
It had eaten the paint off everything down to primer.
I'm pretty sure that the developer is just a chemical reactant that goes along with the bleach and the activator. It would probably just end up not doing anything other than drying your hair out.
It will be lightened some, but it'll be damaged more. Not reccomended. I suggest using Effasol instead of actual bleach if your virgin hair isn't too difficult to lift.. it does the same job as bleach, but is less damaging. (it's a product meant to lift old color, but it'll also pull out natural color.)
Well, since these messages seem to live on for eternity, I would just like to add my own "expert" opinion in an effort to spare any hair bleaching newbies from making a painful mistake.
Lesson #1: Be skeptical of any advice you read on the internet -- including mine. But, especially, including Starjunkie's. Specifically,
"...using a 20 volume developer does no good at all. 20 volume is for dying [er, that's dyeing] hair dark colors that need no lift. 30 is for red or light bleaching. and 40 is what you should use with any bleach or effesol [correction: Effasol]..."
is a crock of *&@%. The general rule of thumb is, for lifting AND coloring with permanent color, 20 volume is for one shade of lift, 30 volume for 2 shades, 40 volume for 3 shades, and double 40 volume for 4 shades. These are only generalities, however, as other variables such as amount of underlying pigment come into play as well.
But for bleaching, Starjunkie is out of her f---ing mind! Rarely if ever should one use 40 volume with bleach! If you have very dark/resistant hair, you are far better off doing 2 separate bleach applications with 30 volume. Even 30 volume is pushing it, since I assume we are talking about on-scalp bleaching here (not a lot of people can do foils on their own hair). You want to experience blisters on your scalp? Go ahead and load up on some 40 volume and bleach. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
