Bleaching Knots On Lace Closure In 5 Easy Steps

Lace closure is a piece of hair that cover an area behind your front hairline. It can hide your bald spot or thin hair on the top effectively. Also, the artificial hairline gives you a seamless look so that no one can detect your hair extensions.

To create this product, the hair supplier needs to crochet strand-by-strand into the lace. Hence, you can see the knots of hair easily, which leads to unnatural hairstyle. To solve this problem, bleaching knots on lace closure is a great idea. Stay tuned to know how to do it.

Preparation

Before bleaching knots on a lace closure, you will need some tools and materials. Here’s a list of what you might need:

• Lace closure
• Bleach powder
• Developer
• Mixing bowl
• Mixing brush
• Gloves
• Aluminum foil (if any)

Step by step of bleaching knots on lace closure

Step 1: Create the mixture

You need to wear gloves beforehand. The gloves protect your hands from toxic chemicals in the products. Now, let’s start!

For a lace closure, we highly recommend you use 2-3 scoops of bleach powder depending on the square of lace (such as 4×4, 5×5, or 2×6, etc.). Afterward, add the developer to the mixing bowl gradually. You should not pour a large amount of developer, or it will be a big mistake. You need to keep stirring the brush until it turns out the desired consistency without any lumps.

Step 2: Prepare the lace closure

If your lace closure has baby hair, you can spray some water and lay it down in the direction of other hair parts. You can pin your lace closure inside out in a foam head or just put it in a flat area such as a table to do the process.

In case you intend to use aluminum foil, you need to pin it under the closure, so it can cover both sides of your lace closure for better results. You should do the same if you lay the hair on the table instead.

Step 3: Bleaching knots on lace closure

You should apply the mixture to all black knots because it works with the hair only, and it does not affect the color of lace. Therefore, you should not waste it. You don’t need to make it smooth or beautiful but make sure that there is no leftover and the mixture will not contact with other hair parts.

Next, cover the lace with aluminum foil (if any) and leave it in for 25 minutes. Afterwards, check the knots by going through the hair. If the knots are still black, keep waiting for 10 minutes and check again. In case it hasn’t done yet, check the hair every 5 minutes until you get your desired result.

Step 4: Wash it out

After rinsing all the chemicals away, you need to wash it with shampoo and conditioner. Neutralizing products are a good idea to remove all the residue to stop the bleach from working on your hair.

Provided that your lace looks orange due to the bleach, you need to use blue toner or purple toner to remove these unwanted colors. If you find it unnecessary, just skip this part.

Step 5: Dry it and make styles

You should hang it up for natural drying because the heat from the blow-drier will hurt your lace closure. In case it’s curly or wavy hair, you should add styling products to keep the textures.

FAQs

Which volume of developer should I use?

We highly recommend using 20 to 30 volumes for developers. If you have experience in bleaching and dying hair, you can go 40 volumes for a quicker result. However, we want to note that the developer with 40 volume is really strong, and it can burn your hair if you are careless. In conclusion, 30 is an ideal number for you.

Why do we need a thick mixture?

If the mixture is thin and loose, it will go through the lace and bleach both the knots and the hair on the other side. It may become a disaster for your lace closure. Meanwhile, a cream-form mixture will stay on the lace and work on the knots only.

Why do we have to check the hair so frequently?

Different hair owns a distinguished ability to go lighter. Hence, you cannot apply the same timing process to every lace closure. Moreover, when checking the hair frequently, you know the result at right time without over-saturating it, which leads to hair breakage and hair fall.

Does bleaching knots on lace closure cause shedding?

It happens when you do it wrong. If the bleach overworks on the knots, it burns them all, causing breakage and excessive hair loss. So, if possible, let’s pass the work to a pro.
