How to Bet on Soccer
|
1. Deciding Where to Bet
1-1. Choose a bookmaker with a good reputation.
Whether you bet at a casino or online, select a bookmaker with a good reputation. The venue or site should have its licenses in order and offer excellent customer service. The site should accept common payment methods and excellent security. Talk to other bettors and do look around online for recommendations from others before deciding whether you want to bet online or in person.
1-2. Find a betting venue.
Betting on soccer and other sports is illegal in the United States except in Las Vegas. If you want to bet on soccer, you will need to go to a casino that offers sports betting in Las Vegas.
There are many casinos that offer betting on sports in Las Vegas. Look for a casino that offers big screen TVs and drinks, allowing you to relax in comfort while watching the game you’ve bet on.
Do not hire a proxy to bet on your behalf in Las Vegas, as this is illegal.
1-3. Bet on soccer online.
Instead of betting in person -- which can be inconvenient if you're not near a sports-betting venue -- try online betting. To bet on soccer online, you must find a reputable bookie (a site that takes bets on sporting events) online. Register an account with the site and put currency in your account.
Many sites allow you to use Bitcoins or link your PayPal account for easy betting and payouts.
5Dimes (http://www.5dimes.eu/) and Bovada (www.bovada.lv) are two of the most well-known sports betting sites.
Online betting for sports is of questionable legality, but nobody has ever been charged with a crime for online soccer gambling. However, double check your local requirements to ensure you can gamble online.
2. Maximizing Your Chances of Winning
2-1. Have some knowledge about the sport before betting.
If you’re a gambler more than a sports fan, you might view sports betting as just another way to make some cash. However, it’s best to be informed about the teams, players, and trends within the game of soccer before betting on a particular game. Read soccer news and learn to identify matchups that seem to favor one side or another.
For instance, if one undefeated team goes up against another team that loses frequently, you would be wise to bet against the team that loses regularly. However, don’t always bet on the favorite. Betting against the favored team can yield big rewards if you win.
Run a search for "soccer betting tips" online and do some research before betting on soccer.
2-2. Understand the odds.
Odds (or fixed odds) are calculations used to determine how much you’ll earn from a given bet. Odds are typically represented as a number that you can multiply by your total bet to figure your winnings.
For instance, assume you bet $100 on a game with odds of 1.5 in Germany’s favor. When Germany wins, you will receive $150 (1.5 times the $100 you bet).
An “odds on” wager is one where the amount you can win is less than what you bet initially. In the above example, the $150 represents your $100 bet plus $50 extra. These bets are easy to win but offer minimal payout.
An “odds against” bet is one in which the amount you win will be more than what you staked. These bets are harder to win but reap greater rewards.
Different bookmakers have different odds. Check several bookmakers to get the best odds before making a bet.
2-3. Understand moneylines.
Another way to represent odds is with moneylines. Moneyline odds are a given number in the hundreds or thousands, accompanied by a plus or a minus.
A positive moneyline odds value indicates how much you will earn on an $100 bet. When winning a moneyline bet, you’ll also get your initial betting unit returned.
For instance, if you bet $100 on a team with +200 moneyline odds, you’ll get $300 back (your initial investment of $100 plus $200). If you bet $200 on a game with moneyline odds of +100 and win, you’ll get $400 ($100 on the first hundred you spent, another $100 on the second hundred you spent, and your initial $200 investment).
Calculate potential profits with positive moneyline odds by dividing the odds by 100, then multiplying the result by your initial stake.
Moneyline odds represented as a negative number indicate how much you must invest before earning $100.
For instance, if moneyline odds on a team are -100 and you wagered $100 and won, you’d get $200 back (your initial investment of $100 plus $100 in winnings).
Calculate potential profits with negative moneyline odds by dividing the odds by 100, then dividing your stake by the result.
2-4. Understand the outcome probabilities.
Probabilities indicate how likely something is to happen or not happen. Generally, a low value for odds means that the team you’re betting on has a high probability of winning. A high value indicates the team is not favored, and likely to lose.
The probabilities of a match’s outcome are usually defined in the range between 0% (no chance) and 100% (a sure bet).
Probabilities do not guarantee an outcome. For example, a team might be estimated to have a winning probability of 70%, but still lose.
Avoid betting on teams with probabilities for victory of 50% or lower. At that probability, you’re taking a big chance with your money.
3. Understanding Betting Arrangements
3-1. Bet on a two-way moneyline.
A two-way moneyline is a bet based on the 90 minutes of primary game time, excluding penalty shootouts, golden goals, or overtime. In this betting arrangement, bettors will bet on one team winning and another team losing. If the team you bet on wins, you will receive a payout. If the team you bet on loses, you will have lost your bet.
This type of bet is also known as “draw, no bet.”
3-2. Bet on a three-way moneyline.
The three-way moneyline is just like the two-way moneyline except that there is an added option to bet on a draw between the two teams. Compared to the two-way moneyline, three-way bets usually have lower odds.
3-3. Place a bet on totals.
Betting on totals means making a guess as to the average goal count per team in a game. These bets are usually made as “under 2.5,” “over 2.5,” or over/under some other number. This means that you are betting that the average goals per team in the game will be over or under 2.5 (or some other close value).
For instance, assume you made a bet that totals would be under 2.5. If both teams scored three goals, the total will be six. Divided by two (the number of teams in the game), you end up with the number three. In that case, you would lose the bet, since the total was above 2.5, not below.
3-4. Bet on goal lines.
Betting on goal lines means making a bet based on what the difference in two teams’ scores will be. Like bets on totals, these bets are made as an over/under statement, typically “under 0.5,” “over 0.5,” or over/under some similar value.
For instance, if you bet “over 2.5” on a game, it means that you believe the winning team will be victorious by at least three goals.
When betting on goal lines, you usually need to call the bet as well by indicating which team you think will win. For instance, you might bet, “France +2.5 goals,” meaning you believe France will win the game by at least three goals.
Keep the over/under value relatively low. The higher the goal line bet you make, the riskier it is to win it.
This type of bet is also known as betting on point spreads.
3-5. Make a split bet.
A variation of the goal lines bet is the split bet. In this model, you might bet on over/under two close numbers. For instance, a split bet might be “over 2 / 2.5.” This means half the money you pay is on a bet that assumes the total goal difference between the two teams will be over two goals, and the other half of your money is bet on an outcome in which the difference between the two goal totals is greater than 2.5.
Sometimes you will get refunded and win the other half of the bet. If you bet over 2 / 2.5, for instance, and the game ends with a score of 2-0, you will get a refund for half the bet’s value and lose the other half of your bet, since the point spread was not over 2.5, and landed exactly on 2.
4. Placing Your Bet
4-1. Decide on your maximum budget.
Decide how much you want to spend on betting. This amount -- known as your bankroll -- will vary widely depending on your income. Be honest with yourself about how much money you have to invest in betting.
When deciding how much your bankroll will be should, you should acknowledge that it’s possible that you’ll lose the entire bankroll.
On the one hand, a budget that is too high may result in personal bankruptcy. A bankroll that is too low, on the other hand, will limit your ability to reap big rewards from betting.
The “rule of thumb” for a beginner's maximum bankroll is $1,000.
Do not bet on soccer unless you have sufficient funds.
4-2. Decide on your maximum bet.
Once you’ve decided how much money you have to play with when betting, you will need to decide how much you want to place per bet. This amount is known as your betting unit size.
Don’t place your whole bankroll on one bet. You risk losing it all at once.
Conservative or new bettors should bet about 1-2% of their bankroll on an individual bet. For instance, if you have $1,000, you might drop $10 on a single bet.
Seasoned bettors might wager 3% of their bankroll on well-founded bet.
Your absolute maximum betting unit size should not exceed 5% of your bankroll.
4-3. Place your bet.
Choose the game or team you want to bet on. Once you’ve registered with the gambling site or entered the casino, make a stake on a game or team you like. Do not put all your money on one outcome or one game. Distribute your risk by betting on multiple games.
Limiting your maximum bet will increase your chances to win. The “rule of thumb” for a beginner's maximum bet is $50.
If you do lose, be prepared to walk away, no matter how tempted you are to continue. You don't want to lose even more.
Never make a bet when you’re drunk or tired.
4-4. Know when to quit.
If you win, don't get carried away. Enjoy what you've won by cashing out and coming back later. Set specific guidelines for success when betting on soccer. Your goals should be realistic and achievable.
For instance, you might decide to cash out when you’ve earned over $100.
Make rules for yourself to prevent excessive loss. For instance, you might decide that if you lose more than $100 on a game, you will stop betting and wait for another day to try again.
Gambling can be addictive. If you are experiencing a problem with gambling, tell someone or call your local helpline.
Tips
Check odds regularly. Don’t assume that just because a team did well in the past it will do well against every opponent.
Monitor your success and failure over the long term. Make a spreadsheet with information about each math you bet on, including the teams, the date of the game, how much you bet, and how much you won or lost. This will give you a big picture view of your success or failure as a bettor.
Be patient when betting on soccer. Start with small wagers and work your way up to larger bets. It takes at least 10,000 hours of practice at something to become really good at it.
Warnings
If you gamble with a large betting unit, you could win a lot of money, but you can also lose a lot.

If you bet over 2 / 2.5, for instance, and the game ends with a score of 2-0, you will get a refund for half the bet’s value and lose the other half of your bet, since the point spread was not over 2.5, and landed exactly on 2.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Placing Your Bet\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Decide on your maximum budget.\", \"描述\": \"Decide how much you want to spend on betting.

How to Bet on Sports
|
1. Understand the Basics of Betting Odds
1-1. Bet on point spreads.
Point spreads help to balance out the odds of each team winning. When people bet on point spreads, they usually talk about (+3.5), (-7.5), (+4), etc. This is how many points are added or subtracted from a team's final score. Take, for example, the Chicago Bears (+5) and the Green Bay Packers (-5) are playing each other this Sunday. The Bears are less likely to win, so 5 points are added to their final score.
In this example, the Packers will have to beat the Bears by at least 6 points for people who bet on them to win. If the Packers beat the Bears by 5 points or less, people who bet on the Packers to cover the spread will lose money.
The basic premise is that you need your betting team to either cover the spread, or underperform. In the same example, if you think the Packers will win but won't cover the spread, put money down on them to do so. If the Packers win by less than 5 points, you will win money.
If teams wind up meeting the spread (not under or over) than you neither win or lose money. In the same example, if the Packers beat the Bears by exactly 5 points, no one wins or loses. When point spreads are (+7.5), (-4.5), (-8.5), (+1.5), etc. they are much more dangerous bets. This is because teams don't score half points, so you will either win or lose.
1-2. Place a bet on the money spread.
This is a very simple method. You are betting on who will win the game outright. If you think the Chicago Cubs will beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, you will bet on them, and vice versa. The key here is to look at the point spread of the game. If the Chicago Cubs are given a large point spread (-5) then they are seen as more likely to win. If the spreads are pretty even (-0.5)(+0.5) then the game is largely seen as a 50/50 matchup.
Look at the point spread first before you move onto the money spread. If the point spread seems way too high (-8.5) it is best to place your money down on the point spread.
If the point spreads are fairly even (-1)(+1) then move on to the money spread. You will be much more likely to win covering a tight money spread.
If there is inclement weather, that also is a heavy factor in money spreads. Snow, rain, sleet, fog, etc. can rapidly even the playing field between the two teams, and therefore even up the point spread. The worse the weather, the more random the outcome, and therefore the more money you should put down on the money spread.
1-3. Put your money down on the totals.
Totals is commonly referred to as the over/under. This is where the betting organization will give you a number (9), (4), (10), (175), etc. The number they give you represents the total number of points scored by both teams combined. You have to place a bet as to whether or not the teams combined will score below or above that number.
Take for example the Los Angeles Lakers playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The total over/under will be 215. You have to bet whether the Lakers and Thunder will score combined over or under 215 points.
Factor in different circumstances. If superstars are hurt on both teams, and the over/under seems pretty high, you might place your bets on "under." If superstars are playing lights-out of late, and the over/under seems too low, you might place your bets on "over."
1-4. Take decimal odds into account.
Beside every point spread, money spread, and total (over/under) is a number in decimal form. Decimal odds are always written as positive numbers, never negative. For example, next to the New England Patriots point spread (-8.5) is a decimal figure of 2.798. Then imagine that you bet 0.1 bitcoins (BTC) on the the Patriots point spread that week on an online website. Multiply the bitcoins you bet by the decimal figure, and that is how many bitcoins you will win, if you betted correctly.
So for this example, 0.1 X 2.798 is 0.2798. This would most likely be rounded up to 0.28 bitcoins on most websites. You will earn 0.28 bitcoins if you bet correctly.
It is important to remember that decimal odds include your initial stake. So, for this example, you will not get 0.28 plus your initial stake. The stake is already included in the 0.28 bitcoin winnings.
Bitcoins are a form of specialized online currency.
1-5. Use American odds.
Next to every decimal odds number is either a positive or negative number in parentheses. If the number is positive, this is how much much money you will make on a standard 100 bitcoin stake win. For example, American odds are (+170) for the money spread on the Miami Marlins this week. This means that for every 100 bitcoin stake, you will receive 170 bitcoins back. If you put up 0.1 bitcoins as your stake, you will get 0.17 bitcoins back.
The great thing about American odds is that you get your initial stake back. So if you bet 1 bitcoin, and receive 2 bitcoins as your winnings, you will get 3 bitcoins back in total.
If the American odds number is negative, this is how many bitcoins you have to produce as your initial stake in order to get 100 bitcoins back. So if the odds are (-105) you will have to produce at least 105 bitcoins as your initial stake in order to get 100 bitcoins back.
Bitcoins are a form of online currency.
2. Betting on Sports
2-1. Begin your search for an online sportsbook.
A sportsbook is basically a place where you can go and place bets on sports games. Online sportsbooks are very convenient, but are overrun with spam websites, advertisements, etc. It is important to find a site which is safe, like Bovada or Bet365. Generally speaking, if you type into Google "online sportsbooks" the first few options have the most hits, and are reliable.
If you notice that the site you are on is overrun with ads, begging you for money, try a different sportsbook. Advertisements are quick and easy ways for spammers to try and take your money.
Stay away from sites which don't allow you to browse their site until you give a credit card number upfront. It is never safe to give out your personal identification information to a site which you have not scouted out yet.
2-2. Learn all you can about the betting site.
You want to make sure that the sportsbooks have the sports you want to bet on. Some online sites only specialize in one or two sports. Check out the terms and conditions of the site. Don't skim over them as they contain valuable information, including what they are liable for, and whether they can be sued.
Check to see whether the site requires you to put money up front. It is important that you know the exact amount, and whether you are ever eligible to get that money back.
Find where the sportsbook has posted the minimum and maximum withdrawal/deposit limits. You will need to know how much money you can receive every day, and how much you can place as a stake.
Use the sites resource section to find frequently asked questions, and how to contact them. You will want to put their number in your phone in case of emergencies if you join their site.
2-3. Decide on a reputable Las Vegas sportsbook.
If you do not like gambling online, Nevada is the only state in the country where sports gambling is legal. If you are planning a trip to Vegas, you will need to find a casino that has a sportsbook. These can usually be found in phone books (Yellow Pages) or online with full descriptions.
You will need to decide whether you want a sportsbook with a lot of people, or a more quiet one. Remember, Vegas is a very popular destination, so you will not be able to free yourself from everyone. However, there are some more expensive sportsbooks which offer more private rooms with 10-15 people in them.
Look on their websites to find out what kind of furnishing they have (couches, chairs, etc.), what food they serve, and what types of drinks they offer. These are rather small things in the big picture, but when you bet you want to be as comfortable as possible.
Another important thing to look for is how many, and how big are there TV's? When you go to a sportsbook you will need a ton of TV's to watch at once, especially if you are betting on multiple games in multiple different sports.
2-4. Choose a local bookie.
Local bookies are numerous throughout the United States, and can almost always be found at sports bars. If you know of numerous people who use him/her as their bookie, chances are they are safe and trustworthy. You can do any of the traditional bets you can do at sportsbooks. Bookies gather together pools of money from multiple gamblers and then disperse the money once the games are over.
Because sports gambling is illegal everywhere except Nevada, you need to scout out your bookie carefully. They could be an undercover police officer. Go to the bar a few times and watch the 'bookie' work. Ask your friends and family about their experiences working with him.
Make sure your bookie pays you on time. Sometimes bookies can be passive when it comes to their clients. Tell your bookie up front that you want your money on time, every week. Make it a point of order to always meet him at the same location and time after every game.
Only bet very small amounts at first with him in order to build trust. Once you know he will deliver every week, you can up the amount that you bet.
2-5. Learn about the sport you want to bet on.
There are such things such as proposition bets, which are basically random bets on coin tosses, the weather in a game, etc. However, if you plan on doing some serious gambling on games, you will need to know your stuff. Remember, especially online, there are tons of gamblers who do years of research.
Familiarize yourself with one sport at a time. You do not want to bet on every sport you love. Really dive into the stats on the sports organization's website or on sportsbook site.
Keep track of the outside factors which come into play with sports, such as weather, injuries, "revenge," etc.
2-6. Start betting small amounts.
As you win a few times and build up your confidence, you can gradually increase the amounts you bet. This is important for managing your bankroll wisely. You want to make profits overtime, as winning a huge amount once is fairly rare. As long as you are consistently winning more than you are losing, and only placing small bets at a time, you will have much better odds overall at making a profit.
Never gamble away money you need to pay bills. Keeping the electricity and water running are much more important than sports gambling.
Use money you have left over from normal expenses. This means money leftover after you have payed bills, put away money into your savings account, and bought groceries for the week!
Plan ahead of time. Save a little bit of money each week until you have a nest egg to gamble with. For example, if you plan on betting on the next football season, save a year in advance. this way if you lose the first few times you will still have money to fall back on.
3. Creating or Joining a Fantasy Sports League
3-1. Recruit friends and family members.
Fantasy sports is traditionally not seen as gambling, and therefore hasn't been regulated as such. However, you are giving an initial stake, and using your skills to win a return on your investment. To recruit members, first ask your family if they wish to join.
Post sheets on bulletin boards at your job, with black spaces left for names and phone numbers. These sheets should identify who is running the league (your name), where the league will be located, and how much money you need for an initial stake.
You can also post online at your social sites like Facebook and Twitter, asking for members to join your league.
If you would rather join a league, there are plenty of reputable sites online such as ESPN, and other official sports sites which offer fantasy leagues. You might also look for friends or family who have started their own.
3-2. Agree on some terms.
You will first need to decide what the official entry fee will be. The fees will go into one pot and will be given to the winner at the end of the football year. Some teams cough up 100 dollars a piece, while others find it fun to have a free league (bragging rights). After you agree to the fee, each player has to come up with an official team name.
Be creative with the team names. As long as the other members approve it is fine. If you are playing with random players, you might want a more politically correct name which won't offend.
The commissioner of the league (you) will approve the names. Then, as a group, come up with a league name if you wish.
3-3. Set up some official rules.
The first thing you need to decide as a group is how many fantasy points a player gets for each action they take. This includes touchdowns, yardage, incompletions, dropped catches, made field goals, etc. (if you are doing a football fantasy league) You will need to set up a playoff system. Determine how many teams can make the playoffs and which NFL weeks the playoff games will be played.
Another important rule is setting up a waiver wire. The waiver wire is basically how many free agents a team can add, the selection order, etc.
Create a system where you can trade players. If the trade is clearly one-sided, you should have a process of vetoing the trade deal as well.
3-4. Track and score your statistics.
You can do this one of two ways. First, you can calculate statistics the old fashioned way, using a pencil, paper, and a calculator. Look at the local sports page, use your fantasy point charts you created earlier, and add your points up. This takes very long however to do by hand, so it is recommended that you use a hosting site.
Hosting sites basically calculate the fantasy score of each player every week. Instead of having to add the points yourself, they already have the job done for you. This way you can focus on the fun of fantasy sports, and not the downsides.
ESPN, NBA, MLB, NFL, Yahoo!, etc. all have fantasy scores written on their websites.
3-5. Select a date for your annual player draft.
The weekend before your sport begins is usually the best time to host a player draft. This is where you will all get together, write down all the players in your sport on one big board, and slowly draft them over the course of a few hours. You will want to bring a computer or smartphone with you, as you will need to use a hosting site to choose the best available players.
As a host of draft night, make your friends feel at home. Typically the living room is used as the best place to draft players.
This is a great time to make a feast. Cook hotdogs, hamburgers, chili; have potato chips and pretzels; have three or four types of soda ready. The atmosphere should feel like you are at a tailgate party.
Once your players are drafted, you are ready to begin fantasy sports. Wait each week to see how your team does. Start and sit players based on their performances. Trade players for that final playoff push.
Tips
Have fun! The goal of betting should not be to win a ton of money, but having fun doing so.
Research, research, and research will help you come out on top.
Many sites online offers daily tips about betting on sports, as well as warnings as they arise.
Warnings
Have fun but do not get carried away, as it can be a very easy way to lose everything you have saved.
It is illegal to make a bet over $2000 with 5 or more people in the US.
If you are an active professional player or manager it is illegal to bet on your own games. The consequences can include being permanently banned from your sport
Check with your local jurisdictions to ensure that you are within your legal limits and laws.

While betting on sports can seem almost impossible, especially in today's competitive world, it is actually fairly simple. First, you will need to understand the basics of what types of bets are placed. Second, you will need to find a local, or online sportsbook to bet at. Finally, if traditional gambling doesn't suit you, you can always set up your own fantasy sport's league. Once you learn the fundamentals, you will be on your way to gambling on sports in no time!\", \"结构\": {\"方法\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Understand the Basics of Betting Odds\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Bet on point spreads.\", \"描述\": \"Point spreads help to balance out the odds of each team winning. When people bet on point spreads, they usually talk about (+3.5), (-7.5), (+4), etc. This is how many points are added or subtracted from a team's final score. Take, for example, the Chicago Bears (+5) and the Green Bay Packers (-5) are playing each other this Sunday. The Bears are less likely to win, so 5 points are added to their final score.\\nIn this example, the Packers will have to beat the Bears by at least 6 points for people who bet on them to win. If the Packers beat the Bears by 5 points or less, people who bet on the Packers to cover the spread will lose money.\\nThe basic premise is that you need your betting team to either cover the spread, or underperform. In the same example, if you think the Packers will win but won't cover the spread, put money down on them to do so. If the Packers win by less than 5 points, you will win money.\\nIf teams wind up meeting the spread (not under or over) than you neither win or lose money. In the same example, if the Packers beat the Bears by exactly 5 points, no one wins or loses. When point spreads are (+7.5), (-4.5), (-8.5), (+1.5), etc. they are much more dangerous bets. This is because teams don't score half points, so you will either win or lose.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Place a bet on the money spread.\", \"描述\": \"This is a very simple method. You are betting on who will win the game outright. If you think the Chicago Cubs will beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, you will bet on them, and vice versa. The key here is to look at the point spread of the game. If the Chicago Cubs are given a large point spread (-5) then they are seen as more likely to win. If the spreads are pretty even (-0.5)(+0.5) then the game is largely seen as a 50/50 matchup.\\nLook at the point spread first before you move onto the money spread. If the point spread seems way too high (-8.5) it is best to place your money down on the point spread.\\nIf the point spreads are fairly even (-1)(+1) then move on to the money spread. You will be much more likely to win covering a tight money spread.\\nIf there is inclement weather, that also is a heavy factor in money spreads. Snow, rain, sleet, fog, etc. can rapidly even the playing field between the two teams, and therefore even up the point spread. The worse the weather, the more random the outcome, and therefore the more money you should put down on the money spread.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Put your money down on the totals.\", \"描述\": \"Totals is commonly referred to as the over/under. This is where the betting organization will give you a number (9), (4), (10), (175), etc. The number they give you represents the total number of points scored by both teams combined. You have to place a bet as to whether or not the teams combined will score below or above that number.\\nTake for example the Los Angeles Lakers playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The total over/under will be 215. You have to bet whether the Lakers and Thunder will score combined over or under 215 points.\\nFactor in different circumstances. If superstars are hurt on both teams, and the over/under seems pretty high, you might place your bets on \\\"under.\\\" If superstars are playing lights-out of late, and the over/under seems too low, you might place your bets on \\\"over.\\\"\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Take decimal odds into account.\", \"描述\": \"Beside every point spread, money spread, and total (over/under) is a number in decimal form. Decimal odds are always written as positive numbers, never negative. For example, next to the New England Patriots point spread (-8.5) is a decimal figure of 2.798. Then imagine that you bet 0.1 bitcoins (BTC) on the the Patriots point spread that week on an online website. Multiply the bitcoins you bet by the decimal figure, and that is how many bitcoins you will win, if you betted correctly.\\nSo for this example, 0.1 X 2.798 is 0.2798. This would most likely be rounded up to 0.28 bitcoins on most websites. You will earn 0.28 bitcoins if you bet correctly.\\nIt is important to remember that decimal odds include your initial stake. So, for this example, you will not get 0.28 plus your initial stake. The stake is already included in the 0.28 bitcoin winnings.\\nBitcoins are a form of specialized online currency.\"}, {\"编号\": 5, \"标题\": \"Use American odds.\", \"描述\": \"Next to every decimal odds number is either a positive or negative number in parentheses. If the number is positive, this is how much much money you will make on a standard 100 bitcoin stake win. For example, American odds are (+170) for the money spread on the Miami Marlins this week. This means that for every 100 bitcoin stake, you will receive 170 bitcoins back. If you put up 0.1 bitcoins as your stake, you will get 0.17 bitcoins back.\\nThe great thing about American odds is that you get your initial stake back. So if you bet 1 bitcoin, and receive 2 bitcoins as your winnings, you will get 3 bitcoins back in total.\\nIf the American odds number is negative, this is how many bitcoins you have to produce as your initial stake in order to get 100 bitcoins back.

Remember, Vegas is a very popular destination, so you will not be able to free yourself from everyone. However, there are some more expensive sportsbooks which offer more private rooms with 10-15 people in them.\\nLook on their websites to find out what kind of furnishing they have (couches, chairs, etc.), what food they serve, and what types of drinks they offer. These are rather small things in the big picture, but when you bet you want to be as comfortable as possible.\\nAnother important thing to look for is how many, and how big are there TV's?

How to Better Understand Fracking
|
1. Steps
1-1. Drill a well.
A well is drilled vertically into the ground until it reaches the permeable shale layers.
Once the digging has hit the gas rich layers, redirect it horizontally into the rock layers. The digging is now parallel to the ground above, but at an immense depth below the surface (anywhere around 7,000 to 12,000 feet). The well is surrounded by a protective steel casing, and it is surrounded by both steel and concrete when it is drilled past the underground aquifer level.
Within the shale are small holes and fissures wherein the natural gases lie. These cracks are going to need to be expanded via pressure.
1-2. Pump in high pressured fracking fluid.
This fracking fluid contains a mixture of water, sand, and 5-10 chemicals ranging in toxicity. Feed high pressured fracking fluid into the well via a pumping tank.
The high pressure and intensity of the fracking fluid rushes into the shale layers, cracks, and crevices.
Floating throughout the water are high pressured sand and many chemicals. Because of the high pressure of the fracking fluids during hydraulic fracturing, the chemicals are forced into the cracks and crevices of the shale rock.
1-3. Fracture the shale rock.
The internal pressure of the shale rock causes the fluid to make its way back to the surface.
Collect the used fluid in a designated tank, where it will later be transferred to a treatment plant.
As the fluid retreats, the cracks and crevices of the shale rock will attempt to close because it does not have the pressure holding open the cracks anymore.
1-4. Prop open the fractures.
Leave the proppants behind in the cracks and fractures after the water has retreated. As the name implies, the proppants “prop” open the shale fractures, keeping them from closing off again.
Because of the immense pressure of the surrounding shale rock, fracturing proppants must be extremely strong and have a high crush factor.
1-5. Collect the natural gas.
The once trapped shale gas is now able to flow free from the shale layers because it has remained propped open by high crush factor proppants.
The shale flows out from the fissures and into the well.
1-6. Transfer the natural gas.
From the well, the natural gas is transferred to nearby storage tanks until it is piped to market.

26 Easy & Practical Ways to Improve Yourself
|
1. Changing Your Thoughts
1-1. Break out of your norm.
The very first thing you should do is break out of your normal routine. Routines make us stagnant and keep up from changing as people. How you break out of your routine will depend on you, but even small changes can help you get used to doing new things so don't be afraid to start.
1-2. Practice positive thinking
Thinking negatively, about ourselves, our abilities, and the world around us, can cause us to shy away from experiences and opportunities. Stop harping on yourself and instead remind yourself of all the good things about you. Stop thinking the worst of others or only focusing on the bad things in your life and start focusing on the good things.
1-3. Attitude of Gratitude.
Learn to be grateful for the little things in life that many people don't have, such as a bed to sleep on or being able to take a shower. A gratitude journal is extremely helpful in your journey, writing down 10 things you are grateful for that day will help change your perspective in your day to day life, relationships, and even work becomes more fun. As well, changing your attitude into a more positive and grateful one sets you up for success in life.
1-4. Control your emotions.
Don't let negative emotions like sadness, anger, fear, or envy ruin your life. Some experience of these emotions is natural, but letting them guide every action that you take is unhealthy and will reduce the quality of your experience of your life. Train yourself to calm down and find the good in things.
1-5. Get some perspective.
Sometimes we forget how good we have things. Look around you an identify people who are worse off than you. Now look at your own life and identify the good things about it. Did you find lots of examples? Look for more! Research about how other people live, either by reading or by watching tv programs or documentaries.
2. Taking Action
2-1. Bring creativity into your life.
Being more creative and the act of creating things can be a profoundly positive experience in your life. This lets you contribute to the world while also changing how you look at things. Draw pictures, make sculptures, write, dance, sing, sew your own clothes or find other creative outlets.
No matter what it is that spurs your creativity, you only get better with practice.
2-2. Be a good people person.
Be nice. Don't lie. Consider the feelings of others. Be generous. Be forgiving. Basically, be a good human being. This one can be hard to do sometimes, but this is really one of the best things you can do it improve yourself and the world around you.
Maya Angelou once said: "I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver."
2-3. Try a new hobby.
Learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. This will give you something to get out and do, making you and your life more interesting and well-rounded. Pursue something you've always wanted to do and you'll be happier and more satisfied than you thought you could be.
2-4. Get active.
Start by getting up off the couch! Stop the sedentary lifestyle, even if you aren't going to the gym or anything. Go on walks with someone you love. Play with your kids or your younger siblings. Experience the life beyond your living room. If you feel up to the task, exercise! All of these things are good for you and will improve you as a person as well as your quality of life.
2-5. Volunteer when you can.
Helping other people will give you perspective, make you more respectful, increase your enjoyment of life, give you a sense of fulfillment, and (obviously) provide some good to the lives of people who really need it. You can volunteer for whatever cause speaks to you, volunteering locally, or even abroad. There are lots of options.
Volunteering at homeless shelters and youth centers can provide a lot of good with a huge impact on the future and society.
Habitat for Humanity is another good way to volunteer.
If you have special skills, find places or ways that you could volunteer and make use of your skills.
2-6. Travel to gain experience.
You will change profoundly as a person when you travel and experience the different ways in which people live. If you can only travel within your country, that's okay, just make sure you're experiencing a very different kind of life than the one you're used to. Travel abroad if you can, especially in a place where you don't speak the language.
2-7. Educate yourself.
Another great way to better yourself is to get more education. Now, this doesn't mean going back to school. There has been a veritable revolution of free learning resources on the internet. You can pick up a skill, like computer programming or another language, or you can educate yourself on broader topics, like politics or education.
With Coursera you can take entire college courses from top universities for free!
You can get bite size lessons to open your mind by watching TEDTalks!
WikiHow offers all sorts of learning resources. You can even spread the learning around by writing or improving an article on which you are an expert!
3. Setting Goals
3-1. Identify qualities you admire.
Find qualities that you admire in others and that you want to learn. If you can't think of any right away, think of people that you wish you were like and think about what it is about them that you like. Are they kind? Ambitious? Hard working? These are qualities you should look for.
3-2. Identify your flaws.
Think about the things that you don't like about yourself. Don't focus on things like your weight, because your body is really just the container you're in, it's not who you are. Things like weight should be tackled after changing stuff like your attitude towards others, your work ethic, and your skills.
3-3. Decide what you want to change.
Think about what you want to change. These have to be things that you really do want to change. It's true what they say: the first part of solving a problem is admitting that you have one. Figure out what really means the most to you and what would be motivating enough to change your lifestyle.
3-4. Get input.
Talk to others that you trust, like lovers, friends, and family members. Tell them what you want to change about your life and why. They might have some good insight that can help you in bettering yourself, as well as a clearer view of who you are as a person.
3-5. Start small, work up.
Start with small goals. Don't start with something like "stop smoking". Instead, try "smoke less". Breaking goals up into smaller goals will help keep you motivated and make your goals more realistic.
3-6. Decide on a timeline.
Think about where these goals sit in your life priorities. This can really change how much effort you put into bettering yourself. If you don't set a deadline for a change, the goal will feel unreal and intangible, and you'll be less likely to complete it.
3-7. Follow through.
Start! Don't just think about goals or what you want to do, go out and do them!
4. Breaking Habits
4-1. Want to change.
Like we said, you have to really want these changes in your life, otherwise they'll never stick. You can pretend to be better in one way or another for a little while, but it will catch up to you if you don't mean it. Make changes that you want for yourself, rather than changes that someone else is forcing on you. This is the only way to really change.
4-2. Have realistic expectations.
Don't think that changing who you are will make your life instantly better and that everything will be perfect. That's not how life works. And changing won't be easier, either. If you go in with reasonable expectations, you'll have a much easier time sticking through the challenges.
4-3. Recognize your triggers.
Recognize the things that make you do things you don't like or that you want to change. Do you eat when you're stressed? Lash out at loved ones when you're angry? Find your triggers so that you can find better ways to deal with them.
4-4. Set up barriers.
Erect barriers to keep you from doing the things that you don't like. If you want to spend less time on the internet, get a plan that allows slower or less traffic, or only allow internet on your phone but not your computer. Basic barriers will keep you from automatically falling on old habits, as they'll ensure that doing the wrong thing would be a conscious effort, rather than an accident.
4-5. Find replacements.
Find something else to do instead of the thing you're trying to stop. The activities listed in the first section can work, but you can also employ smaller tricks. If you tend to get angry a lot, try singing a song inside your head. This works even better if it's a song that makes you laugh.
4-6. Reward yourself.
Give yourself rewards to further motivate you. Keep these small, just enough to trigger positive feelings. You don't want to be dependent on the rewards, just let them make you feel good about all the work you're putting in.
4-7. Give it time.
Be patient! Change takes time. It won't happen overnight and if you expect it to, you'll be very disappointed in yourself. Wait, just keep trying, and you'll get there eventually!
Tips
Get help from friends and family members by having them join you in your efforts. Working with a buddy is always more motivating.
Warnings
Don't compromise who you are as a person to make someone else happy, because it will never make you happy. Do this for you, not them.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Changing Your Thoughts\\n1-1. Break out of your norm.\\nThe very first thing you should do is break out of your normal routine. Routines make us stagnant and keep up from changing as people. How you break out of your routine will depend on you, but even small changes can help you get used to doing new things so don't be afraid to start.\\n1-2. Practice positive thinking\\nThinking negatively, about ourselves, our abilities, and the world around us, can cause us to shy away from experiences and opportunities. Stop harping on yourself and instead remind yourself of all the good things about you. Stop thinking the worst of others or only focusing on the bad things in your life and start focusing on the good things.\\n1-3. Attitude of Gratitude.\\nLearn to be grateful for the little things in life that many people don't have, such as a bed to sleep on or being able to take a shower. A gratitude journal is extremely helpful in your journey, writing down 10 things you are grateful for that day will help change your perspective in your day to day life, relationships, and even work becomes more fun. As well, changing your attitude into a more positive and grateful one sets you up for success in life.\\n1-4. Control your emotions.\\nDon't let negative emotions like sadness, anger, fear, or envy ruin your life. Some experience of these emotions is natural, but letting them guide every action that you take is unhealthy and will reduce the quality of your experience of your life. Train yourself to calm down and find the good in things.\\n1-5. Get some perspective.\\nSometimes we forget how good we have things. Look around you an identify people who are worse off than you. Now look at your own life and identify the good things about it. Did you find lots of examples? Look for more! Research about how other people live, either by reading or by watching tv programs or documentaries.\\n2. Taking Action\\n2-1. Bring creativity into your life.\\nBeing more creative and the act of creating things can be a profoundly positive experience in your life. This lets you contribute to the world while also changing how you look at things. Draw pictures, make sculptures, write, dance, sing, sew your own clothes or find other creative outlets.\\nNo matter what it is that spurs your creativity, you only get better with practice.\\n2-2. Be a good people person.\\nBe nice. Don't lie. Consider the feelings of others. Be generous. Be forgiving. Basically, be a good human being. This one can be hard to do sometimes, but this is really one of the best things you can do it improve yourself and the world around you.\\nMaya Angelou once said: \\\"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.\\\"\\n2-3. Try a new hobby.\\nLearn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. This will give you something to get out and do, making you and your life more interesting and well-rounded. Pursue something you've always wanted to do and you'll be happier and more satisfied than you thought you could be.\\n2-4. Get active.\\nStart by getting up off the couch! Stop the sedentary lifestyle, even if you aren't going to the gym or anything. Go on walks with someone you love. Play with your kids or your younger siblings. Experience the life beyond your living room. If you feel up to the task, exercise! All of these things are good for you and will improve you as a person as well as your quality of life.\\n2-5. Volunteer when you can.\\nHelping other people will give you perspective, make you more respectful, increase your enjoyment of life, give you a sense of fulfillment, and (obviously) provide some good to the lives of people who really need it. You can volunteer for whatever cause speaks to you, volunteering locally, or even abroad. There are lots of options.\\nVolunteering at homeless shelters and youth centers can provide a lot of good with a huge impact on the future and society.\\nHabitat for Humanity is another good way to volunteer.\\nIf you have special skills, find places or ways that you could volunteer and make use of your skills.\\n2-6. Travel to gain experience.\\nYou will change profoundly as a person when you travel and experience the different ways in which people live. If you can only travel within your country, that's okay, just make sure you're experiencing a very different kind of life than the one you're used to. Travel abroad if you can, especially in a place where you don't speak the language.\\n2-7. Educate yourself.\\nAnother great way to better yourself is to get more education. Now, this doesn't mean going back to school. There has been a veritable revolution of free learning resources on the internet. You can pick up a skill, like computer programming or another language, or you can educate yourself on broader topics, like politics or education.\\nWith Coursera you can take entire college courses from top universities for free!\\nYou can get bite size lessons to open your mind by watching TEDTalks!\\nWikiHow offers all sorts of learning resources. You can even spread the learning around by writing or improving an article on which you are an expert!\\n3. Setting Goals\\n3-1. Identify qualities you admire.\\nFind qualities that you admire in others and that you want to learn. If you can't think of any right away, think of people that you wish you were like and think about what it is about them that you like. Are they kind? Ambitious? Hard working? These are qualities you should look for.\\n3-2. Identify your flaws.\\nThink about the things that you don't like about yourself. Don't focus on things like your weight, because your body is really just the container you're in, it's not who you are.

What’s the Difference between Biannual & Biennial?
|
1. “Biannual” & “Biennial” Meanings
1-1. “Biannual” refers to something that happens twice within one year.
“Biannual” can be used as an adverb (“I visit my parents biannually”) or as an adjective (“the biannual clearance sale”).
“She cleans out her closet biannually.”
“I have my biannual doctor appointment next week.”
1-2. “Biennial” describes something that occurs once every 2 years.
Like “biannual,” it can be used as an adjective (“our biennial trip to Europe”) or as an adverb (“I renew my membership biennially”). Unlike “biannual,” “biennial” can also be a noun (“It’s time to plant my biennials”) or even a proper noun in the case of recurring events like the Venice Biennale (a famous art exhibition that happens every 2 years).
“I only have enough money to go on vacation biennially.”
“It’s time for our biennial family reunion!”
In gardening terms, a biennial is a plant with a life cycle of 2 years, usually blooming or flowering during its second growing season.
2. “Semiannual” Meaning
“Semiannual” is a synonym for “biannual.”
It also refers to something that happens twice a year and is interchangeable with “biannual.” It can be used as an adjective (“a semiannual sale”) or as an adverb (“she visits him semiannually”).
“Come to our committee’s semiannual meetings to stay in the loop on our progress.”
“This job is great! We get bonuses semiannually!”
3. Communicating the Correct Meaning
3-1. Add context to clarify what you mean by “biannual” or “biennial.”
For example, if you’re concerned someone may misunderstand what you mean if you say “We meet biennially,” add some detail to make it clear you mean “every other year” and not “twice a year.” You could say something like, “We only meet biennially since our projects take over a year to complete.”
“We try to get together biannually, usually around New Year’s Day and Father’s Day.”
“The forget-me-nots I planted are biennials, so they won’t bloom until next year.”
Context is extra important for words like “biweekly” or “bimonthly,” which can mean both “once a week/month” and “once every other week/month.”
3-2. Replace “bi-” with “semi-” to say something happens twice in a period.
Since “biannual” and “biennial” are so commonly mixed up, help your reader or listener understand what you mean and try using “semiannual” to describe things that occur twice in one year. Similarly, use “semiweekly” or “semimonthly” to clarify when something happens twice in one week or one month, rather than once every other week or month.
3-3. Use other, clearer phrases like “twice a year” or “every other year.”
If remembering the difference between “biannual” and “biennial” is daunting to you or your readers and listeners, ditch both words altogether. Say “twice a year” instead of “biannual,” and “every other year” or “every 2 years” in place of “biennial.” These phrases are universally understood and help avoid miscommunication.
“I need to check in with you twice a year.”
“He updates his entire wardrobe every other year.”
4. Etymology of “Biannual” & “Biennial”
4-1. “Bi-” is a Latin prefix meaning “two,” “double,” or “once every two.”
“Bi-” by itself does not indicate whether something happens twice within a given period or only once every 2 periods, which explains the confusion between words like “biannual” and “biennial.” This is also why words like “biweekly” or “bimonthly” need clarification—they can mean both “twice a week/month” and “once every other week/month,” depending on the context.
For example, a bimonthly meeting could mean a meeting that happens twice a month or a meeting that only happens once every 2 months. The meaning is totally dependent on the user’s intent.
The Latin prefix “semi-” is less vague. It means “half,” so something that happens semiannually occurs every half-year (although today, “semi-” can also mean “partially” or “somewhat”).
4-2. Both “-annual” and “-ennial” come from the Latin word annus ("year").
The vowel change from “a” to “e” doesn’t have any impact on the meaning—it just comes from an old Latin pronunciation rule. In fact, the difference in meaning between “biannual” and “biennial” is completely arbitrary since there’s nothing in the roots of either word to set them apart!
Tips
Many people mistakenly use “biannual” to mean both “twice a year” as well as “every other year” since “biennial” is a less commonly known word (outside of gardening, that is).

It means “half,” so something that happens semiannually occurs every half-year (although today, “semi-” can also mean “partially” or “somewhat”).\\n4-2. Both “-annual” and “-ennial” come from the Latin word annus (\\\"year\\\").\\nThe vowel change from “a” to “e” doesn’t have any impact on the meaning—it just comes from an old Latin pronunciation rule. In fact, the difference in meaning between “biannual” and “biennial” is completely arbitrary since there’s nothing in the roots of either word to set them apart!\\nTips\\nMany people mistakenly use “biannual” to mean both “twice a year” as well as “every other year” since “biennial” is a less commonly known word (outside of gardening, that is).\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"“Biannual” and “biennial” might look and sound almost the same, but the meanings of these terms are years apart (literally).

How to Biblically Deal with a Narcissist
|
1. Set boundaries.
Firm boundaries can keep your relationship manageable.
Empathic confrontation is a strategy that’s useful for managing a narcissist’s behavior and setting up some emotional distance. Try starting a statement with a sign that you know where the narcissist is coming from, before setting up a strict boundary that you’re willing to enforce.
The Bible reminds us to set up boundaries to protect our emotional and spiritual health: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23).
For example, you might say something like, “I understand that you’re upset. But if you continue to call me names, I’ll be leaving this conversation.”
Or, you can say something like, “I know that you care about me. But criticizing me in front of other people is unacceptable, and if you continue to do this, I won’t be inviting you to social events anymore.”
2. Take a break from the relationship.
Fast from this relationship and remind yourself of your independence.
Just as Jesus fasted for 40 days and grew from the experience, you can also take a break from your relationship with the narcissist and grow emotionally and spiritually. A narcissist can never give you the love you might want from them, and if that’s important to you, you might realize that it is better to end the relationship altogether.
When you’re taking a break from this relationship, it can feel really tough to deal with not having this person in your life, even if they are a narcissist. Remember that God has more to offer you than anyone: “I have food to eat that you know nothing about” (John 4:32).
3. Stand your ground.
Virtue gives you strength, so don’t let a narcissist shut you down.
Narcissists can often make it impossible for you to get any words in during a conversation, so try to claim some space for yourself. Remember that as a Christian, being merciful and forgiving does not mean you have to be a push-over.
The Bible emphasizes the importance of standing your ground against abusive people: “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked” (Proverbs 25:26).
To claim space in a conversation, say something like, “I’ve heard what you’ve had to say. Do you mind if I speak?”
4. Deescalate the situation if you’re being attacked.
You can’t win an argument with a narcissist, so reduce the conflict.
While you should not tolerate any kind of abuse, spending your time trying to dispute the narcissist’s version of events will likely prolong any argument. Deescalation can keep you from giving the narcissist more ammunition to rage at you.
Silence can be a useful strategy. Remember that Jesus would often not respond when being criticized and attacked by others: “And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer” (Matthew 27:12).
If a narcissist is criticizing you, try saying something like, “I disagree with your assessment of me,” and change the subject.
When a narcissist is angry, sometimes the best option is to simply leave the room as quickly and safely as you can.
5. Save your energy for things you can change.
There are many worthwhile projects, but fixing a narcissist isn’t one.
Narcissists have little to no empathy, and so it’s really difficult for them to change for the better. Instead of beating your head against the wall trying to get a narcissist to treat you better, it’s best to instead focus on doing good and meaningful work that matters.
The Bible encourages us to have the wisdom to know what to do and when: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
It’s okay to sometimes walk away when someone resists your attempts to get them to see the error of their ways. You can’t win every battle.
If you’re looking for ways to make a meaningful impact, try volunteering for your church or offering help to people in your community who are responsive to it.
6. Keep your own values intact.
Rise above the provocations of a narcissist.
When a narcissist displays bad behavior—whether that’s through name-calling, shouting, or simply showing you their dangerous levels of pride—be sure not to mimic this behavior. Treat them with kindness and mercy, and model Christ-like behavior in all that you do.
Keep in mind that in the Bible, of all the things that God hates most, “haughty eyes” are listed first (Proverbs 6:16-17). Pride is a dangerous sin to fall into, so make sure you’re not fighting a narcissist’s fire with fire.
7. Pray to maintain your strength.
Narcissists try to isolate you, but with prayer you’re never alone.
A key tactic that narcissists use is attempting to cut you off from your friends and family. It’s important to resist this isolation as much as possible, but remember that your relationship with God is always there for you. This relationship can give you mental and emotional strength when dealing with toxic behavior.
Remember that when you call on God, He is always listening: “Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12).
If you’re struggling with prayer, think of it as simply having a conversation with God. Remember that He loves you and wants the best for you.
Praying for the narcissist can bring you closer to Christ, even if it doesn’t change their behavior. As the Bible tells us: “Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:28).
8. Spend your time with healthier relationships.
Friends, family, and your church community offer meaningful connections.
Invite a friend, family member, or someone from church that you’d like to get to know better out for coffee. Surrounding yourself with these relationships can remind you what healthy, non-draining relationships look like.
The Bible tells us that relying on one another for support is more than just a good idea: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).
You don’t need to spend your time with your other friends venting about the narcissist. Even a friendly conversation can improve your sense of self-worth.
9. Prioritize your own peace.
Self-care keeps you emotionally and mentally strong.
When dealing with a narcissist, it’s easy to forget your own needs in favor of theirs, since you end up spending much of your energy appeasing them. But you matter, and you deserve to prioritize yourself.
The Bible tells us: “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Aside from making sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active, be sure to take some time every day doing something that is just for you.
Self-care might also look like taking a relaxing bath, heading out into nature for an afternoon, or practicing mindfulness exercises.
10. Seek counseling to recover.
Narcissists tend to avoid counseling, but you shouldn’t.
Talking to your pastor or a trained mental health professional about your relationship with the narcissist can help you process your feelings in a safe space. A narcissist can really damage your sense of self-worth, so reach out to others to help you find it again.
The Bible encourages us to seek the counsel of others: “Listen to advice and receive discipline, so that you may become wise by the end of your life” (Proverbs 19:20).
11. See the narcissist for who they are.
Understanding that someone is a narcissist gives you clarity.
Narcissism often comes from compensating for a deep woundedness. In early stages of a relationship with a narcissist, you may feel flattered by their attention and idealize them. If you become sucked into their orbit, this can be a kind of idolatry where you prioritize them over your spiritual and emotional wellbeing.
Remember that God is where our greatest happiness comes from, not other people. As the Bible tells us: “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
Some signs of narcissism include an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a need to have constant admiration, a preoccupation with fantasies of power, beauty, and brilliance, monopolizing conversations, and an inability to recognize the needs of others.
Once you identify someone as a narcissist, you can start being more careful in your relationship with them. Try not to let them suck you into their orbit, and remember that you should rely first on God and yourself.

As the Bible tells us: “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).\\nSome signs of narcissism include an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a need to have constant admiration, a preoccupation with fantasies of power, beauty, and brilliance, monopolizing conversations, and an inability to recognize the needs of others.\\nOnce you identify someone as a narcissist, you can start being more careful in your relationship with them. Try not to let them suck you into their orbit, and remember that you should rely first on God and yourself.\"}]}]}}",

How to Bid a Cleaning Job
|
1. Visiting the Space
1-1. Ask to do a walkthrough of the area you’ll be cleaning.
Call your potential client and ask them if you can look at the space ahead of time. Schedule a time that works for both you and the client so you can visit the areas that need to be cleaned. Seeing the area firsthand can help you determine the size and scope of what you need to complete throughout the job.
Taking the time to do a walkthrough also shows your client that you’re willing to put in extra time and care to give them a fair and honest deal.
1-2. Request the measurements of the spaces you’re going to clean.
Your client should have the measurements of each room so you can determine the size of the space. Larger projects require more work hours and manpower than smaller areas. Ask your client as soon as you arrive if they have specific measurements.
If measurements aren’t given to you by your client, then be prepared to measure the space yourself.
It's a good idea to get this information ahead of time, so consider sending an email requesting the square footage, as well as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms (or offices) before you schedule the walkthrough.
1-3. Takes notes on the type of flooring throughout the space.
Carry a notebook with you as you do your walkthrough. Write whether the floors are tile, wood, carpet, or another material so you can determine if you need any special cleaners. While carpets may only need to be vacuumed, hard floors should be swept and mopped.
If you’re unsure about what material the flooring is, ask the client to clarify so you know for sure.
1-4. Write down the number of fixtures and windows.
Count the number of restrooms, sinks, or any other large fixtures throughout the area. These areas tend to get dirtier and will require more time for you to clean. Then, count the number of windows so you know how much glass you’ll need to clean.
Ask if you need to wash the exterior windows as well as the interior.
1-5. Photograph the areas the client wants cleaned for reference.
Take a digital camera or a smartphone with you during your walkthrough. Get good, clear pictures of each area the client wants you to clean so you can look at them later while writing your bid. The photos can help you remember details about additional work that needs to be done in a specific area.
Always ask the client if it’s alright for you to take pictures.
1-6. Discuss with the client what special services they expect from you.
As you’re walking through the space, ask the client what they want you to clean. Ask them for specific details, like whether desks need to be straightened out, carpets need to be shampooed, or exterior windows should be wiped. Take notes on all the details the client tells you.
Getting detailed answers helps you and your client come to an agreement about the expectations and gives you a better idea of what to estimate for your bid.
Ask your client what times they expect you to clean and how often you’ll work on site.
1-7. Ask the client if they’ll provide any supplies.
Some clients will give you supplies, such as toilet paper or soap, but don’t offer other cleaning supplies. Ask them if you’ll have access to any supplies on site or if you’ll need to bring your own. As you walk around, make note of any supplies you may need while you’re cleaning.
2. Estimating the Cost
2-1. Determine how much time
Usually, the amount of time it takes to clean is calculated by the size of the area and the amount of work you need to do. If you’re only doing a light cleaning, such as emptying trash and vacuuming, then it won’t take as much time as a deep clean. Your time may also depend on how many employees you have working and how efficient they are.
Many estimate calculators are available online where you can plug in the information to determine how much time you’ll need to spend.
2-2. Include costs of any supplies or equipment you need to bring.
Look at your notes and pictures of the area you’re cleaning and determine if you need any special cleaners. Make an itemized list of all the cleaners you’ll go through while cleaning and how often you’ll need to replenish them. Determine how fast you go through the products and charge the client accordingly.
For example, polishing tile floors requires more time and supplies than just vacuuming a carpet.
Even if your client provides some of your supplies, you may need special cleaners or equipment that they aren’t aware of.
2-3. Account for employee wages if you have any.
If you’re working a larger job that requires more manpower, make sure to include their hourly rate into your costs. After you’ve found out how much time it should take for you to clean the area, multiply that number by the employees that will be working at the job.
If you’re only working a small job as an individual, you don’t need to worry about employees.
2-4. Add 10% of the costs to your budget for any unforeseen issues.
Overhead costs help account for work that you may not have noticed in your first walkthrough. Allow yourself about 10% of the total cost of wages and supplies so you can have enough money to account for any problems that arise along the way.
2-5. Give yourself a profit equal to 20% of the cost.
To make money during a job, find out what 20% of the total estimated cost is so you can keep it as profit. Add your profit to the cost that you’ll charge your client to get a final estimation of what you should charge for your cleaning job.
Profits may vary depending on the size of the job. For example, a larger corporate space that’s around 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m) may only give you up to 10% profit, but a space that’s smaller may be easier to turn a larger profit.
2-6. Compare your estimate to other cleaning companies in your area.
Call other cleaning companies in the area and ask them what they charge for their services. Write down their estimates and compare them to yours to see if you’re charging too much or too little. Make sure your estimate is enough for you to make money but also near your other companies’ prices to remain competitive.
Check classified ads and job boards to find other competitors in your area.
3. Making Your Bid Proposal
3-1. Put your contact information at the top of your company’s letterhead.
List your name, the company’s name, and a good phone number or email where the client can reach you. This will make it easier for the client to remember your information so they can reach out to you if they have any questions or concerns about your bid.
3-2. Write the services you’re providing and how long they take.
Make sure your list is detailed and thorough so your client knows what to expect each time you’re on site. With each service you write, give your estimation of how long it will take to complete.
3-3. Mention how often you’ll be cleaning.
If the bid is for a recurring job, then you’ll need to include how many times you’ll be cleaning the space. Let the client know if you’ll be cleaning, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on what you discussed with them earlier.
If you’re working in a large building, specify what areas you’ll clean during specific days. For example, you may clean odd-numbered floors on Tuesday and even-numbered floors on Thursday.
3-4. List any supplies you need to bring with you during the cleaning job.
If the job requires you to bring your own equipment or cleaning supplies, include what you’re bringing and what you’re using it for. If you need to rent specialty cleaning equipment, make sure to include it in your list of supplies.
Only include the supplies that you and the client agreed upon. For example, if they are providing brooms and mops, don’t bring your own and charge them for it.
If you need to bring a special cleaning agent that isn’t as common, you can charge an additional price for them.
3-5. Give the total bid amount at the bottom of your proposal.
After you’ve listed all the supplies and services you’re providing, break down your costs so your client knows exactly what they’re paying for. Include travel times to the site, supply expenses, and labor charges for your employees.
3-6. Deliver the bid to your client.
Either take your bid directly to the client or send it over an email so they can easily look at it. Provide your contact information so they can reach out to you if they have any questions on your proposal. Give the client 90 days to respond to the proposal and let them know you can’t start working until the bid is accepted.
Follow up the next day with a phone call to see if they received your proposal and to establish a good repertoire with the client.
If the customer approves your bid, set up your appointment and send any information they request, like your certificate of insurance or your cleaning plans. At that point, the job is active.
Tips
Use an online bidding calculator to help you determine a reasonable estimate for the job.
Warnings
Don’t give a bid that’s too low that you can’t make a profit on the job.

How to Bid in Bridge
|
1. Making the Opening Bid
1-1. Count up your high-card points before you bid.
Before you make your first bid in bridge, count up the points you have in your hand. Your high-card points include:
Ace: 4 points each
King: 3 points each
Queen: 2 points each
Jack: 1 point each
1-2. Bid only if you have 13 or more high-card points.
Once you have added up your total high-card points, you will know if you should bid or not. You should never open the bid unless you have 13 or more high-card points. If you have less than 13, then you should pass.
For example, if your hand includes 1 Ace, 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 Jack as its only high-card points, then your total would be 10 and you should not bid. However, if you have 2 Aces, 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 Jack, your total would be 14 and you should bid.
1-3. Announce a no-trump bid if you have between 15 and 17 points.
A no-trump bid means that you will take a hand without placing an Ace. If you have a balanced hand with 15 to 17 high-card points, then this is a high likelihood.
For example, if you have about the same number of cards in each suit, then you have a balanced hand.
If you have a highly unequal distribution of card suits with 15 to 17 points, then this might not be a good strategy. For example, if you have twice the amount of clubs as hearts, and diamonds, then your hand is unbalanced and you should not risk a no-trump bid.
1-4. Open with a 2-suit bid if you have 22 points or more.
You can make a 2-suit bid if you have a very high scoring hand. In this case, it is highly likely that you will be able to fulfill the bid with an equivalent number of tricks (hands where you have the highest ranking card).
For example, if you have 3 Aces, 2 Kings, 2 Queens, and 2 Jacks, your hand would contain 24 high-card points. This means that you should have no problem making a bid of 2 or more suits.
1-5. Choose your high-card suit to open.
If you open the bid, then you will choose the card that starts the round. Make sure that you choose a card from your high-card suit, which are the cards that you have the most high-card points in.
For example, if you have 7 high-card points in spade cards, such as an Ace, Queen, and Jack of spades, then open by laying down a spade.
The card you choose will also help you to signal to your partner which card is your strongest suit, so choose wisely.
2. Observing the Rotation Rules in Bidding
2-1. Allow the dealer to bid first.
The dealer is always the first to bid in a round of bridge. Then, play can continue going clockwise from the dealer. If the dealer wishes to pass, then they can say “pass.”
2-2. Make a bid higher than or equal to the previous player’s bid.
You cannot bid lower than the previous player. Therefore, if the player before you has bid 1 heart, then you would at least have to match that bid with 1 spade, 1 club, or 1 diamond. (You cannot bid with the same suit as the previous player.) You may also bid higher, such as 2 spades, 2 clubs, or 2 diamonds, instead of 1 of these suits.
Remember that you can say “pass” if you do not want to bid.
2-3. Stop taking bids once 3 players in a row have said “pass.”
Bidding continues until 3 consecutive players have passed on the chance to bid. The last bid that was made will become the “contract,” and that pair of players will need to complete the number of tricks they bid plus 6. At this point, the game begins and players can start playing tricks, or putting down cards.
The player who names the final contract suit first is called the “declarer” and their partner is the “dummy.” The person on the left side of the declarer will then make the opening lead. The dummy puts their cards facing up on the table so that the declarer can play with both their cards and their partner’s cards.
Tips
Bridge is a complex game that takes time and practice to learn. Try joining a local bridge club or playing online to develop your skills and to get better at bidding.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Making the Opening Bid\\n1-1. Count up your high-card points before you bid.\\nBefore you make your first bid in bridge, count up the points you have in your hand. Your high-card points include:\\nAce: 4 points each\\nKing: 3 points each\\nQueen: 2 points each\\nJack: 1 point each\\n1-2. Bid only if you have 13 or more high-card points.\\nOnce you have added up your total high-card points, you will know if you should bid or not. You should never open the bid unless you have 13 or more high-card points. If you have less than 13, then you should pass.\\nFor example, if your hand includes 1 Ace, 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 Jack as its only high-card points, then your total would be 10 and you should not bid. However, if you have 2 Aces, 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 Jack, your total would be 14 and you should bid.\\n1-3. Announce a no-trump bid if you have between 15 and 17 points.\\nA no-trump bid means that you will take a hand without placing an Ace. If you have a balanced hand with 15 to 17 high-card points, then this is a high likelihood.\\nFor example, if you have about the same number of cards in each suit, then you have a balanced hand.\\nIf you have a highly unequal distribution of card suits with 15 to 17 points, then this might not be a good strategy. For example, if you have twice the amount of clubs as hearts, and diamonds, then your hand is unbalanced and you should not risk a no-trump bid.\\n1-4. Open with a 2-suit bid if you have 22 points or more.\\nYou can make a 2-suit bid if you have a very high scoring hand. In this case, it is highly likely that you will be able to fulfill the bid with an equivalent number of tricks (hands where you have the highest ranking card).\\nFor example, if you have 3 Aces, 2 Kings, 2 Queens, and 2 Jacks, your hand would contain 24 high-card points. This means that you should have no problem making a bid of 2 or more suits.\\n1-5. Choose your high-card suit to open.\\nIf you open the bid, then you will choose the card that starts the round. Make sure that you choose a card from your high-card suit, which are the cards that you have the most high-card points in.\\nFor example, if you have 7 high-card points in spade cards, such as an Ace, Queen, and Jack of spades, then open by laying down a spade.\\nThe card you choose will also help you to signal to your partner which card is your strongest suit, so choose wisely.\\n2. Observing the Rotation Rules in Bidding\\n2-1. Allow the dealer to bid first.\\nThe dealer is always the first to bid in a round of bridge. Then, play can continue going clockwise from the dealer. If the dealer wishes to pass, then they can say “pass.”\\n2-2. Make a bid higher than or equal to the previous player’s bid.\\nYou cannot bid lower than the previous player. Therefore, if the player before you has bid 1 heart, then you would at least have to match that bid with 1 spade, 1 club, or 1 diamond. (You cannot bid with the same suit as the previous player.) You may also bid higher, such as 2 spades, 2 clubs, or 2 diamonds, instead of 1 of these suits.\\nRemember that you can say “pass” if you do not want to bid.\\n2-3. Stop taking bids once 3 players in a row have said “pass.”\\nBidding continues until 3 consecutive players have passed on the chance to bid. The last bid that was made will become the “contract,” and that pair of players will need to complete the number of tricks they bid plus 6. At this point, the game begins and players can start playing tricks, or putting down cards.\\nThe player who names the final contract suit first is called the “declarer” and their partner is the “dummy.” The person on the left side of the declarer will then make the opening lead. The dummy puts their cards facing up on the table so that the declarer can play with both their cards and their partner’s cards.\\nTips\\nBridge is a complex game that takes time and practice to learn. Try joining a local bridge club or playing online to develop your skills and to get better at bidding.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Bridge is a 4-player card game played in teams of 2 where bidding is essential for maximizing your score.

How to Bid in Online Auctions
|
1. Unique Bidding
1-1. Know the terminology.
A unique bid is referred to that single bid which is placed on a bid amount for the auction. It will be only categorized as unique if no other competitor has placed a bid on the same bid amount. If a competitor has placed the same bid, then both bids are classified as non-unique. Buyers bid for different products online. The one with the unique bid gets the product.
– If A places a bid at $2 and no one else place a bid on the same amount, it is considered as a unique bid and A will win. If B places a bid on the same item at $2, then it will be categorized as non-unique and none of them wins the auction. It is necessary for B to place bid more than $2 in order to win the auction.
1-2. Place a bid.
You place a bid that is the unique bid on your favorite product which will make your existing unique bid the lowest bid. You can also place a bid that is more than your opponents bid amount. It should be the unmatched and highest unique bid until the time auction closes to win the item.
1-3. Wait for someone else to bid.
If someone else places a bid higher than yours, then immediately place a unique bid to supersede theirs. If not done over the time, the other person wins the bidding auction.
1-4. Keep a constant track.
Revisit the auction site regularly to check the status of your bid and also the status of your competitor bids. Evaluate your bid again and click the confirm bid button, once done.
1-5. Receive a confirmation email.
Once the bidding ends, the winner will be notified by an email from the auction website. It will indicate the confirmation about your winning and also the explanation of what needs to be done next.
2. Dynamic Bidding
2-1. Understand the technique.
This process is also known as an auto bidding system. Buyers can set their maximum bid for the product. So, if the bidder is not virtually present at the time of bidding, automatically the bidding will perform on his behalf up to the defined amount. This information is only made visible to the bidder. After reaching the defined bid value, the bidding will stop.
For example: The starting bid for an item is $5. A is the high bidder to place a maximum bid of $6 on this item. His maximum bid of $20 which will be kept confidential from other members. B places a bid of $7 and becomes the highest bidder. Automatically A’s bid is raised to $8 outbidding B at $7. It will continue till the time any buyer crosses $20. It is the limit set by $A which is only known to him. If nobody crosses $20, then A is the winner. If anyone crosses $20, A will receive a mail to increase its limit.
2-2. Enter your maximum bid.
Buyer is supposed to enter maximum bid after selecting their favorite item from the online auction. After placing, it is not necessary for the buyer to be present for bidding. The bid amount will keep on increasing on his behalf, outbidding others till it reaches the defined value.
2-3. Keep constant track of bids.
Keep visiting the online auction regularly to check the status of your bid and your competitor bids. Evaluate your bid again and click the confirm bid button, once done.
2-4. Receive a confirmation email.
Once the bidding ends, the winner will be notified by an email from the auction website. It will indicate whether you have won the product and also the explanation of what needs to be done next. You can also recheck by checking your name as a highest bidder on the auction website. ,
Tips
Get familiar with the auction website. Always make sure the website is genuine and certified. The reliable brand manufacturers and professional sellers should be involved in buying and selling process.
Look for a genuine brand before choosing the product. Always read through the Terms and Conditions of the site. If bidding on jewelry, look for their Hallmark Certified Authentication mark on their jewelry with the warranty card mentioning purity code, carat of the jewelry piece, testing center's mark, the jeweler's mark and year of marking.
Before bidding, read the product description. Read about the type of material used in its creation, the design, etc. Each product is accompanied with its picture and its description. Compare photos of the product with other similar items for sale. Understand the difference between the real jewelry and simulated or overlay jewelry.
Warnings
Avoid imitations. Always make sure that you receive the item as displayed in the picture while buying the product. Many products exhibited on online auctions are fake and may not even match the description posted on the website.
Beware of getting subjected to scamming from the traders who sell unfair or illegal products on the online auction. Also, try to be in constant touch with the customer care executives to get regular updates on the date of delivery of your product. In some cases, the product purchased online never gets delivered.
Save yourself from being carried away in a bidding contest.

How to Bid on Government Contracts
|
1. Finding Contracting Opportunities
1-1. Search the Federal Business Opportunities website (FBO).
Go to https://beta.sam.gov/. Federal agencies use the site to list their contracting opportunities. All federal solicitations worth at least $25,000 are published on this website.
Be careful of private websites that charge money to access their listings. Carefully review what is being offered before you sign up.
1-2. Get on a GSA Schedule.
The General Services Administration (GSA) negotiates price and terms with vendors, and then federal agencies can purchase products or services as needed. Some schedules are set aside for small businesses, so you can try to get onto them.
Visit the Vendor Toolbox for more information about getting on a GSA Schedule: https://vsc.gsa.gov/RA/toolBox.cfm.
1-3. Search for subcontracting jobs.
Many contractors hire other businesses as subcontractors. By working as a subcontractor, you’ll gain experience working on government contracts and building your reputation. Search for subcontracting opportunities at the SUB-Net website: http://web.sba.gov/subnet/search/dsp_search_option.cfm.
You can begin searching for subcontracting jobs as soon as you open your business.
1-4. Work with a bid-matching service.
Your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) should offer bid-matching. Through their database, PTACs can find federal, state, and local solicitations. Depending on your office, bid matching might be free, or you might need to pay a fee.
Find your nearest PTAC at http://www.aptac-us.org/.
1-5. Assess whether your company is a good fit.
You shouldn’t rush to apply for all contracts, hoping to land something. Instead, only apply for those contracts which your business can fulfill. If you are awarded a contract and fail, you probably won’t get another chance.
Ideally, you should start small. The government will assess your past performance on contracts, so make sure you choose something manageable at first. For example, you can bid on projects worth $3,000 or less.
2. Preparing Your Bid
2-1. Create a System for Award Management (SAM) profile.
SAM is the primary database for vendors doing business with the U.S. federal government. You’ll need to upload your tax identification number, D-U-N-S number, and other information.
Obtain your D-U-N-S number for free at https://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/pages/CCRSearch.jsp.
Remember to update your profile every 12 months, otherwise it will become inactive.
2-2. Draft your capability statement.
This one-page statement provides an overview of your business, as well as your past performance. You’ll include this in your SAM profile. A sample is available at https://www.hhs.gov/grants/contracts/get-ready-to-do-business/sample-capability-statement/index.html. Your capability statement should include the following:
Company information, such as name, contact information, and website.
A brief narrative of your business history and your products or services.
Short biographies of key employees.
Any certifications or clearances.
Your D-U-N-S number.
A list of your business suppliers, dealers, and distributors.
A list of three years of past performance.
A list of clients.
2-3. Identify the type of bid solicitation.
When the government wants services, they put together a solicitation, called a bid package. You should identify the different types of solicitations so that you can make sure your bid is responsive. Generally, there are four types:
Request for Quotation (RFQ). When contracts are worth less than $150,000, the government will typically request information and a quote. Your response is not considered an actual offer.
Request for Proposal (RFP). You will be told what the government needs and what information you should include in your proposal. An RFP ultimately ends in a contract.
Invitation for Bid (IFB). An IFB is also called a “sealed bid solicitation.” You submit an IFB without much discussion with the government office. Price is usually the most important factor in awarding the contract.
Request for Information (RFI). The government might reach out to you directly. In this situation, the RFI is used to determine whether you are interested in a particular contract.
2-4. Read what you are required to submit.
The solicitation should tell you what information to include in your bid and the date for responding. Read the entire solicitation, including any attachments or schedules. The solicitation should contain all of the information that you need.
If you have questions, contact the contracting officer for more information.
2-5. Research past bids.
You’ll want to submit a competitive bid, so you need some idea of prior winning bids. The website USASpending.gov has a searchable database which will tell you the name of the business earning a contract and the amount of the contract. You can also find bid information at the FBO website.
2-6. Respond to each requirement in the bid.
There is no “one size fits all” bid. Instead, read the solicitation and provide all information requested. If you don’t, then your bid will be tossed aside without further consideration.
The solicitation should tell you where to submit your bid and the deadline. Follow the instructions so that your bid will be considered.
2-7. Spend ample time creating reasonable price estimates.
Draw on as much information as possible to come up with a pricing strategy that is attractive to the government but that still allows you to cover costs and make a profit. Consider past winning bids, as well as market research on what are market rates.
2-8. Ask for a debriefing if you are rejected.
Don’t be surprised if you don’t win your first bid. On average, it can take about two years before you win your first contract. Ask the government agency to go over what you did wrong and how you can improve in the future. Only request debriefing if you are really serious about becoming a government contractor.
A debriefing session is not the time to get defensive or to challenge the government on why they rejected you. If you think you might get defensive, you should skip the debriefing process altogether.
Tips

Assess whether your company is a good fit.\\nYou shouldn’t rush to apply for all contracts, hoping to land something. Instead, only apply for those contracts which your business can fulfill. If you are awarded a contract and fail, you probably won’t get another chance.\\nIdeally, you should start small. The government will assess your past performance on contracts, so make sure you choose something manageable at first. For example, you can bid on projects worth $3,000 or less.\\n2. Preparing Your Bid\\n2-1. Create a System for Award Management (SAM) profile.\\nSAM is the primary database for vendors doing business with the U.S. federal government. You’ll need to upload your tax identification number, D-U-N-S number, and other information.\\nObtain your D-U-N-S number for free at https://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/pages/CCRSearch.jsp.\\nRemember to update your profile every 12 months, otherwise it will become inactive.\\n2-2. Draft your capability statement.\\nThis one-page statement provides an overview of your business, as well as your past performance. You’ll include this in your SAM profile. A sample is available at https://www.hhs.gov/grants/contracts/get-ready-to-do-business/sample-capability-statement/index.html. Your capability statement should include the following:\\nCompany information, such as name, contact information, and website.\\nA brief narrative of your business history and your products or services.\\nShort biographies of key employees.\\nAny certifications or clearances.\\nYour D-U-N-S number.\\nA list of your business suppliers, dealers, and distributors.\\nA list of three years of past performance.\\nA list of clients.\\n2-3. Identify the type of bid solicitation.\\nWhen the government wants services, they put together a solicitation, called a bid package. You should identify the different types of solicitations so that you can make sure your bid is responsive. Generally, there are four types:\\nRequest for Quotation (RFQ). When contracts are worth less than $150,000, the government will typically request information and a quote. Your response is not considered an actual offer.\\nRequest for Proposal (RFP). You will be told what the government needs and what information you should include in your proposal. An RFP ultimately ends in a contract.\\nInvitation for Bid (IFB). An IFB is also called a “sealed bid solicitation.” You submit an IFB without much discussion with the government office. Price is usually the most important factor in awarding the contract.\\nRequest for Information (RFI). The government might reach out to you directly. In this situation, the RFI is used to determine whether you are interested in a particular contract.\\n2-4. Read what you are required to submit.\\nThe solicitation should tell you what information to include in your bid and the date for responding. Read the entire solicitation, including any attachments or schedules. The solicitation should contain all of the information that you need.\\nIf you have questions, contact the contracting officer for more information.\\n2-5. Research past bids.\\nYou’ll want to submit a competitive bid, so you need some idea of prior winning bids. The website USASpending.gov has a searchable database which will tell you the name of the business earning a contract and the amount of the contract. You can also find bid information at the FBO website.\\n2-6. Respond to each requirement in the bid.\\nThere is no “one size fits all” bid. Instead, read the solicitation and provide all information requested. If you don’t, then your bid will be tossed aside without further consideration.\\nThe solicitation should tell you where to submit your bid and the deadline. Follow the instructions so that your bid will be considered.\\n2-7. Spend ample time creating reasonable price estimates.\\nDraw on as much information as possible to come up with a pricing strategy that is attractive to the government but that still allows you to cover costs and make a profit. Consider past winning bids, as well as market research on what are market rates.\\n2-8. Ask for a debriefing if you are rejected.\\nDon’t be surprised if you don’t win your first bid. On average, it can take about two years before you win your first contract. Ask the government agency to go over what you did wrong and how you can improve in the future. Only request debriefing if you are really serious about becoming a government contractor.\\nA debriefing session is not the time to get defensive or to challenge the government on why they rejected you. If you think you might get defensive, you should skip the debriefing process altogether.\\nTips\\nYour nearest Small Business Development Center (SBDC) or Procurement Technical Assistance Center might provide a training on how to prepare a bid for government contracts.[15]\\nX\\nTrustworthy Source\\nU.S. Small Business Administration\\nU.S. government agency focused on supporting small businesses\\nGo to source\\n\\n Find your nearest SBDC at https://www.sba.gov/tools/local-assistance/sbdc.\\nNetwork with current government vendors and find out what they’ve done right and wrong when submitting bids.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Each year, the U.S. federal government spends hundreds of billions of dollars purchasing products and services.

How to Bid on eBay
|
1. Bidding Online
1-1. Locate the item you want to purchase.
Browse the categories for an item you want to buy or use the search feature to find something specific. Scroll through the available listings and click on the one that suits your desires.
1-2. Review the details of the item.
Check and double-check the price, condition, and overall product description so that you know exactly what you are bidding on. Do not simply make your decision by looking at the photo, since some sellers purposefully post deceiving photographs on their listings.
Check the seller's rating. Previous ratings and reviews left by other buyers allow you to gauge if the purchase will be worth your effort and money. A good seller will have a rating between about 94 and 100 percent. The number of ratings a seller has is also indicative of popularity, and a seller with many high ratings is an even better option than a seller with only a few high ratings.
1-3. Click on the "Place Bid" button.
This initiates the bidding process. If you are not already signed in, eBay may ask you to sign in now.
If you do not have an eBay account, you may need to create one. An account is free to create, and having one allows you to monitor your ongoing bids and orders.
Type in your maximum bid. Your maximum bid is the highest amount of money you are willing to pay for an item. Type the amount in the box and click “Continue.”
Understand how incremental bidding works. In order to ensure that buyers get the item for the lowest possible amount, eBay uses a system referred to as automatic incremental bidding. Your opening bid will be the same as the seller's minimum bid amount. If your maximum bid is higher than this minimum, eBay will automatically increase your bid in pre-determined increments. This process will continue until your maximum bid has been reached.
Only bid on an item you are willing to pay for. According to eBay, every bid you make is considered to be a binding contract. For that reason, it is vital that you only bid on an item you fully intend to purchase.
Only bid an amount you are willing to pay. While you may receive the item at a lower price than your maximum bid, you should always be prepared to pay your maximum amount. Again, placing a bid serves as a binding contract, and you will be obligated to pay the full maximum bid if that price is reached during the bidding process.
Do not bid on two of the same item at the same time. If you win both bids, you will be obligated to pay both. Unless you want two of the same item, you should only bid on one listing for a particular item and wait for the auction to end before trying a new listing for the same item.
Raise your maximum bid, if desired. If you decide to pay a little more for an item, you can raise your maximum bid by simply placing another bid at a higher amount.
Know the limits on retracting bids. There are only a few rare instances in which you will be allowed to retract your original bid. If you accidentally entered the wrong amount, you can reenter the correct amount immediately to fix the error. If the item's description changed significantly after your bid was placed and you cannot reach the seller, you may also retract your bid then.
1-4. Review and confirm your bid.
Verify that the maximum bid amount is correct and click on the "Confirm Bid" button to approve it.
2. Bidding by Mobile Device
2-1. Access eBay's mobile webpage using your smart phone.
The mobile version of the website is free, works on any smart phone, and can be found at http://m.ebay.com
The process of locating and bidding on an item is essentially the same on your mobile device as it is on your desktop. The only difference is that mobile versions of eBay are visually formatted in a way that makes them more accessible on a mobile device.
Alternatively, access eBay by downloading a mobile app. You can download a free mobile app for eBay for all major smart phone brands. The appearance of eBay may look different through the app than it does when accessed via the website, but you can still use the app to search and bid on items as usual.
2-2. Search for the right item.
If using the mobile website, type a description of the item into the search bar on the homepage as usual, pressing the magnifying glass icon to initiate the search.
Select "Browse Categories," located beneath the search bar on the home screen, if you do not have a specific item you are searching for and would like to look through the product categories.
If using a mobile app, the same basic technique still applies. The search bar will be positioned toward the top of the app's initial start-up screen, usually in the upper right corner or the upper center depending on the version of the app you have. The "Browse Categories" option is also listed on the initial screen but is usually positioned somewhere beneath your saved searches or favorites.
2-3. Look over the details of the item.
Make sure you have a thorough understanding of the product description, price, and condition. Since bids on eBay are considered binding contracts, it is vital that you understand exactly what you are bidding on before you place your bid.
Look at the seller's rating. A trustworthy seller will have a rating somewhere around 94 percent or higher. A seller with more ratings is also more popular and more reliable than one with few.
2-4. Select "Place Bid."
The button is the same for both mobile web and mobile app versions of eBay. This starts the bidding process.
Sign in or create an account. If you are using a mobile app, you will likely already be signed in. If you are merely using the mobile version of the website through the phone's Internet browser, you may or may not be signed in at this point.
Choose your maximum bid. Touch the bid box with your finger to highlight it and use the on-screen keyboard to type in the number. Your maximum bid is the absolute highest amount of money you are willing to pay. Select "Continue" after you finish typing.
Your bid will start off at the lowest amount possible. Due to eBay's incremental bidding system, your bid will continue to increase as other buyers place bids until your maximum amount has been reached.
Only place bids you are willing to see through. A bid is a binding contract. As a result, you should only bid on items you absolutely want and your maximum bid amount should only be an amount that you are willing to pay. You can always raise your maximum bid, if desired, simply by placing another bid on the item at a higher amount.
Don't plan on retracting your bid. The only time eBay will allow you to retract your bid is if you accidentally entered the wrong amount and reenter the correct amount immediately, or if the item's description has dramatically changed since your original bid was placed.
2-5. Confirm your bid.
Review the maximum bid amount once more to make sure that it is accurate and use your finger to press on the "Confirm Bid" option.
2-6. Expect notifications.
If you use the mobile app version of eBay instead of the mobile website, you will be notified whenever someone outbids you.
3. Successful Bidding Strategies
3-1. Choose a maximum bid amount with extra cents included.
For example, if your maximum desired price is $50.00, enter a maximum bid of $50.11.
Most sellers bid in whole dollar amounts. Many eBay auctions are won by a few cents. If another seller shares your maximum bid of $50.00, odds are, that seller will set his or her maximum bid at $50.00. By placing your maximum at $50.11, your bid will automatically be raised above your competitor's bid if the $50.00 mark is reached.
3-2. Wait until the last possible moment.
The most effective bids are placed within the last 10 seconds of the auction.
If you place your maximum bid well in advance, a bidding war may take place in which the bids of two or more buyers are continually rising in increments. Even if your maximum bid is higher than the other buyer's maximum, the other buyer has to opportunity to raise his maximum bid even higher once your maximum has been reached.
3-3. Open two browser windows.
Monitor the bidding process in one window and place your final maximum bid during the last 10 to 15 seconds of the auction using the second window.
Type your maximum bid into the second window and click on "Place Bid." Do not click on "Confirm Bid" yet, but make sure the button is visible.
In the first window, refresh the page by hitting the f5 button or Ctrl+R. Reload the page every few seconds to monitor changes to the current price.
Have the two windows open side-by-side, if possible. Switching back and forth can kill valuable time.
Switch to your second window, with your input bid, during the last 10 to 15 seconds. Click on "Confirm Bid" to place your final offer. Doing so this close to the end of the auction will make it difficult for anyone else to place a higher bid before the auction closes.
Tips
Know that you may not win the auction, even if you have the highest bid, if the seller has a hidden reserve price set higher than the amount of your bid. A reserve price is a minimum price on an item that remains hidden from potential buyers. If that reserve price is set at $20.00 and your maximum bid was for $18.00, you will not be able to buy the item even if you have the highest bid.
Have a valid credit card handy if you are placing a bid of $15,000 or more. No charge will be made on the card unless you win the auction, but you must input a credit card number so that your age and seriousness can be verified.

This process will continue until your maximum bid has been reached.\\nOnly bid on an item you are willing to pay for. According to eBay, every bid you make is considered to be a binding contract. For that reason, it is vital that you only bid on an item you fully intend to purchase.\\nOnly bid an amount you are willing to pay. While you may receive the item at a lower price than your maximum bid, you should always be prepared to pay your maximum amount. Again, placing a bid serves as a binding contract, and you will be obligated to pay the full maximum bid if that price is reached during the bidding process.\\nDo not bid on two of the same item at the same time. If you win both bids, you will be obligated to pay both. Unless you want two of the same item, you should only bid on one listing for a particular item and wait for the auction to end before trying a new listing for the same item.\\nRaise your maximum bid, if desired. If you decide to pay a little more for an item, you can raise your maximum bid by simply placing another bid at a higher amount.\\nKnow the limits on retracting bids. There are only a few rare instances in which you will be allowed to retract your original bid. If you accidentally entered the wrong amount, you can reenter the correct amount immediately to fix the error. If the item's description changed significantly after your bid was placed and you cannot reach the seller, you may also retract your bid then.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Review and confirm your bid.\", \"描述\": \"Verify that the maximum bid amount is correct and click on the \\\"Confirm Bid\\\" button to approve it.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Bidding by Mobile Device\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Access eBay's mobile webpage using your smart phone.\", \"描述\": \"The mobile version of the website is free, works on any smart phone, and can be found at http://m.ebay.com\\nThe process of locating and bidding on an item is essentially the same on your mobile device as it is on your desktop. The only difference is that mobile versions of eBay are visually formatted in a way that makes them more accessible on a mobile device.\\nAlternatively, access eBay by downloading a mobile app. You can download a free mobile app for eBay for all major smart phone brands. The appearance of eBay may look different through the app than it does when accessed via the website, but you can still use the app to search and bid on items as usual.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Search for the right item.\", \"描述\": \"If using the mobile website, type a description of the item into the search bar on the homepage as usual, pressing the magnifying glass icon to initiate the search.\\nSelect \\\"Browse Categories,\\\" located beneath the search bar on the home screen, if you do not have a specific item you are searching for and would like to look through the product categories.\\nIf using a mobile app, the same basic technique still applies.

How to Bike Through Sand
|
1. Choosing and Adjusting Your Bike
1-1. Get a fat bike if you ride through sand often.
Fat bikes have 4 in (10 cm) tires on 26 in (66 cm) rims. They are the best choice for riding through sand, so if you like to cruise around the beach or tackle sand dunes, investing in a fat bike is a wise decision.
1-2. Opt for wide tires.
Wider tires allow more contact with the ground surface, making balancing your bike easier. For best results, get tires between 1.75 to 2.50 in (4.4 to 6.4 cm) wide. Loose sand requires even chunkier support.
Your rim diameter limits your tire width options. If you ride over sand often and your bike frame supports it, consider switching to a wider tire.
Using wide tires impairs performance on hard surfaces. If you're riding a trail with mixed conditions, you'll have to compromise.
1-3. Use a lower tire pressure.
Letting some air out of your tires can make riding through sand easier. When more of your tire is in contact with the sand, the bike will be less difficult to pedal and steer.
If you have a fat bike, you can go as low as 4-6 psi. For a mountain bike, lower the psi to 18-20.
1-4. Stick to low gears.
The lower gears produce more torque, reducing the chance that your rear wheel gets stuck in sand. This can feel frustrating in combination with thicker tires, but you need this extra push to stay on the surface.
1-5. Minimize shifting and braking in the sand.
Shifting and braking will slow you down and dig your wheels into the sand, killing your rhythm. Plan ahead and shift gears while you're still on solid ground.
You may shift when traveling down a sandy slope, since you'll have enough speed to carry you. Make sure you're in a gear for easy pedaling once you hit flat ground.
2. Changing Your Riding Approach
2-1. Aim to ride on wet sand or thin layers of sand over packed soil.
If you're new to riding through sand, try to stay away from loose sand, which will slow you down and make steering more difficult. However, riding on wet sand or a thin layer of sand over hard soil is similar to riding on slightly wet grass.
Steep slopes are especially difficult. Stay away from them until you're more comfortable.
If cycling at the beach, stay near the water but out of water range. You'll have more room to maneuver at low tide.
2-2. Lean back slightly.
Resist your urge to lean over the front wheel. This will dig it into the sand, slowing you down or disrupting your course. Instead, sit back in the saddle and keep your weight centered over the rear of the bike.
While riding on dunes, you can even pull up a little on the handlebars.
2-3. Pedal with consistent force.
Don't pedal in short, uneven bursts, or the change in speed may cause your rear wheel to slip and dig into the sand. Find a cadence that works for you and stick to it until the slope changes.
Ride slower than you normally would, especially as a beginner. It's easy to lose control over sand, and you don't want to go flying over the handlebars.
If you're on hard ground and see a small patch of sand coming up, gathering speed may help you pass through it. Don't forget to take your weight off the front wheel as you approach.
2-4. Change direction using counter pressure.
You won't be able to steer your bike the same way you normally would on a paved or dirt surface. When riding in the sand, gradually lean your body and use counter pressure to turn your bike.
If you quickly turn your tire, it will dig into the sand.
2-5. Relax.
Loose sand makes for a bumpy, wiggly ride. Keep your body loose to absorb the shock and stay in control. Use a light touch on the handlebars, as well.
Tips
If you're having trouble balancing, try standing up to center your mass with more control.
Warnings
Minimize rides during strong winds. The blowing sand damages your bike considerably.
Wear proper safety gear when riding. Find a proper helmet and, if needed, knee pads and arm pads.
Sand will wear out your bike fast, especially the chain drive sprockets, bearings, aluminum rims, and paint job. Clean them out after a few rides, or after every ride near saltwater. Try a high pressure clean at a self-service car box, followed by lubrication where needed.

How to Bike for Weight Loss
|
1. Choosing Your Gear
1-1. Choose your bike.
Do you want to bike outdoors or use a stationary bike? The advantage of stationary bikes is that you can do other things while you ride, like watch your favorite TV show. Regular bikes, however, get you outdoors and can have a positive impact on the environment if they replace transport by car. Of course, you can always do both.
If you choose a regular bike, be aware that there are many different bike styles, from mountain bikes to road bikes to beach cruisers to fixed gear bikes. Bikes can vary widely in price. The type of bike you choose will depend on your body type and on where you plan on riding. Talk to your local dealer, and consider arranging a bike fitting.
If you choose a stationary bike, you’ll either need to buy one or join a gym. You’ll also need to decide between a recumbent or an upright bike. Choose the former if you have back problems; choose the latter if you don’t. Upright bikes also help strengthen your core.
1-2. Pick the right clothes.
According to Cornell University weight-loss researcher Brian Wansink, wearing fitted clothes made of lycra instead of baggier outfits makes it easier to keep track of your weight loss. Wansink found that prisoners tend to gain weight because of the baggy jumpsuits they’re forced to wear.
Loose-fitting clothes will also create drag and slow you down.
Choose clothes that make more visible to motorists.
Over-dressing to sweat more (a common practice in France) won’t actually help you lose weight.
1-3. Get the right accessories.
A helmet is a must-have if you plan on taking your bike on the road. Make sure you buy one that fits you properly. You’ll also want to bring along a patch kit to repair busted tires and a small hand pump to inflate them. If you plan on storing your bike outside, get a bike lock.
It’s also a good idea to carry a saddlebag to store your ID, your keys, and your phone, which might fall out of your pockets as you ride.
Carrying a water bottle means that you can stay hydrated while you ride.
Consider carrying carbon dioxide cylinders in your pack to quickly re-inflate flat tires.
2. Planning Your Routine
2-1. Start slowly.
Start out nice and easy in a safe location like your neighborhood before tackling more difficult terrain like hills. Once you get more comfortable, you can begin biking in more high-traffic areas.
Stick to flat areas at the beginning. Try a local park or bike trail, or find a route using a website like traillink.com.
When you first start biking, you may not be able to travel more than a few miles. Stay close to home so that you don’t get stranded. You should be able to bike a few miles within a month or so.
It may be hard in the beginning, but try to implement your training slowly into your routine, always working a little bit everyday.
2-2. Alternate the intensity of your ride.
Sprinting with high resistance will burn more calories. Riding at a more leisurely pace with low resistance will help build endurance. However, a combination of the two is actually your best bet. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that alternating between sprinting and endurance burns more calories.
Ride on hills! Champion cyclist Rebecca Rusch uses standing hill drills (that is, alternating between standing and sitting while pedalling up a hill) to build her endurance.
Ride harder at the very end.
Try spin classes at your local gym, or consider hiring a trainer.
2-3. Make recovery time part of your routine.
Plan on riding hard one day and then doing a more leisurely “recovery ride” or some cross-training the next. You should plan entire days off too.
Make sure you’re getting enough sleep and giving yourself breaks between cycling sessions. According to Stacy T. Sims, exercise physiologist at Stanford and founder of Osmo Nutrition, sleep deprivation can lead to false hunger and unnecessary cravings.
Consider getting a massage on your day off.
2-4. Set specific goals.
Determine your target weight and estimate how long it will take you to reach this goal. Biking for weight loss is a long-term strategy. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see immediate results.
Losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is a sensible, achievable goal.
Use an online BMI calculator to help determine your ideal weight.
3. Rethinking Your Diet
3-1. Eat breakfast.
While there is some disagreement about whether you should eat breakfast before or after biking, eating breakfast nevertheless plays an important role in weight loss.
Many people associate breakfast with cereal and bacon. However, if you want to lose weight, all of your meals should consist of lots of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and veggies are best, but frozen versions are often excellent. Use caution when buying canned fruits and veggies, which can contain added sodium and sugar.
For protein, choose lean meats, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts.
3-2. Eat while biking.
This might seem odd, but eating while on a longer ride can actually help keep you going on longer rides and can help you avoid overeating after rides.
Bars, bananas, and gels are good choices for eating while riding.
Plan on eating 200-250 calories per hour.
3-3. Eat right after biking.
The 30 to 60 minutes after your biking session constitute your body’s “recovery time.” Your body needs nutrients to help repair itself.
Carbohydrates alone help restore glycogen levels. But eating a combination of carbohydrates and protein together means you don’t have to eat as many carbs, which can be difficult after a grueling workout.
Eating protein also helps to rebuild the muscles that have broken down during your ride.
Prep your recovery food before you ride in case you’re too tired to put something together when you finish.
3-4. Stay hydrated.
Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during, and after biking. Soon after finishing your biking session, refill your water bottle and drink the entire thing.
Beware energy drinks, which contain caffeine and other stimulants and can lead to dehydration.
4. Staying Motivated
4-1. Keep your bike visible and accessible.
Storing your bike out of sight allows for other priorities to get in the way of your biking routine. According to Stanford health psychologist and fitness instructor Kelly Mc Gonigal , having a reminder to exercise will keep you motivated to do so.
Store your bike in a place where you will be able to use it.
4-2. Vary your routes.
An occasional change of scenery will break up the monotony of riding the same route over and over again, and it will present new physical challenges.
4-3. Commute by bicycle.
You can bike to work or do errands around town on a bike. The average bicycle commuter loses weight without putting forth any extra effort. You’ll also save money on gas and have an easy time finding parking.
If you’re planning to ride your bike to work, bring a change of clothes and consider showering at the office, if that’s possible. Whatever you do, avoid being too sweaty at work.
Plan your route to work carefully to make sure you’re not late for work. Make the trip on a day you’re not working so that you can get comfortable with the routine.
4-4. Make friends with other bikers.
Having friends you can ride with, whether in a spinning class at the gym or on the open road, means that you can exercise and socialize at the same time.
Tips
If you’re planning to bike on the road, make sure you obey all traffic laws and learn the proper cycling etiquette.
Warnings
Cycling builds more muscles, which means that at some point you might actually gain weight.

When and How to Safely Bike with a Baby
|
1. When can my baby start riding on my bike with me?
1-1. Children can be bike passengers starting at age 1.
In the United States, organizations like the American Association of Pediatrics, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute all agree that children should not be on a bike before turning 1 year old. Their primary concern is that the jostling, bumping, and bouncing of a bike ride may impact critical early-life brain development.
Some U.S. states and localities have laws on the books that set the minimum age at 1 year.
It’s true that age 1 is not the agreed-upon cutoff date worldwide. In some nations, 9 months or 6 months is the expert-recommended cutoff. In other countries, it’s common to see even younger newborns ride along in basket-style carriers.
Your best bet is to talk to your pediatrician about when it’s safe for your specific child to ride with you on a bike.
1-2. Your child should be able to sit upright unsupported.
If your baby can sit up on the floor and keep their head fairly steady, they probably have the neck strength required to safely ride along on a bike. Even if you plan on putting your baby in a bike carrier that lets them recline or lie back, this neck strength is essential to reducing the amount of jostling that occurs to their head and brain.
To play it safe, wait until your child is at least 1 year old and able to sit upright unsupported. For an extra dose of safety, get an okay from your pediatrician.
Never put a child in an upright or slightly reclined seat if they can’t securely hold their head up and control its movement, no matter their age. The risk for head and neck injury is too great.
2. Best Options for Biking with a Baby
2-1. Bicycle-towed trailers:
Tow-behind bike trailers are popular because they’re easy to use with nearly any adult bicycle, and because they enclose your child in a low-to-the-ground, protective “cocoon.” This doesn’t mean they’re always the best or safest option, though, so talk to your pediatrician and consider the following:
Choose a model that has a solid structural roll cage to protect your child in the event the trailer tips over.
Trailers that attach at your bike’s rear axle, as opposed to a higher spot like your seat, are less susceptible to tipping over.
While adequate ventilation is important, make sure the trailer has a solid front screen to protect your child from debris kicked up by your rear tire.
Especially if you’re riding with a young child who can’t easily sit straight up and keep their head steady, make sure they can ride reclined with their head supported to the sides and back. Some trailers allow for the installation of an infant car seat.
Always ride with the high-visibility flag and pole attached.
Ride with low air pressure in the trailer’s tires to reduce the amount of rattling and bouncing—it’s a bumpier ride in the trailer than you’ll experience on the bike!
2-2. Front-mounted child seats:
Front-mounted seats typically attach to the bike frame about halfway between your seat and the handlebars. This positioning allows you to easily see and interact with your child—and gives them a better view of things! Front-mount seats have less impact on your center of gravity than a rear-mount seat, but you’ll probably have to spread your legs wider as you pedal. Also keep items like the following in mind:
Because they aren’t positioned near the ground or directly over a wheel, front-mount seats offer a less bumpy ride than rear-mount seats or trailers.
The seat must have back, neck, and head support, a 5-point harness, and leg stirrups with holding straps to prevent your child’s feet from touching the front wheel spokes.
Do not use a front-mount seat if your child cannot keep their head up and steady while wearing a helmet.
It’s not safe to keep riding if your child falls asleep and their head starts bobbing along with the bumps.
It’s possible that you might slam into your child during a frontal crash.
2-3. Rear-mounted child seats:
Rear-mount seats are convenient, since they attach easily above your bike’s rear wheel and don’t interfere with your pedaling or steering motions. Your body also acts as a shield to block wind, weather, and debris from reaching your child. While these are important advantages, consider the following before using a rear-mount seat:
Because the seat is directly over the rear wheel, your child will experience a much bumpier ride than you.
A rear-mount seat affects your center of gravity more than does a front-mount seat, which may make it harder for you to maintain your balance during turns.
Even though your baby is close by, you can’t easily see them. This makes it hard to recognize if they’ve fallen asleep, at which point you should stop biking in order to protect their drooping head and neck.
As with a front-mount seat, make sure any rear-mount seat has back, neck, and head support, a five-point harness, and rigid stirrups to protect your child’s legs from the rear wheel’s spokes.
2-4. Cargo bikes:
There are many types of cargo bikes out there—“box bikes” (like the Dutch Bakfiets), “longtails” that put the cargo over the back wheel, electric models, and a range of trikes, pedicabs, and other variations. If you’re considering one or more of these options, keep the following in mind:
The younger your child, the more important it is to provide a supportive and protective seat for them. Make sure your cargo bike can be fitted with a proper child seat. Consult with your pediatrician before choosing or using a cargo bike.
While they can be useful and multi-functional, cargo bikes are bigger, heavier, more difficult to store, and more expensive. A “box bike” like the Bakfiets can start at around $2,000 USD, with an electric model costing at least twice as much.
Cargo bikes provide a different riding experience because of their size and weight, but a well-designed cargo bike should be stable and fairly easy to maneuver. This is an advantage over trying to turn a standard bike into a cargo (or baby-carrying) bike.
3. What kind of helmet should my child wear?
3-1. Use an age-appropriate helmet for kids age 1 and above.
In the U.S., the bike helmet should have a label from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stating that it is approved for children ages 1 and above. The helmet should fit snugly on your child’s head and have a snug chin strap so the helmet doesn’t slide back or side-to-side. Make sure your child can easily hold their head up and control their head and neck movements while wearing the helmet.
Don’t use a helmet with visible signs of wear or damage, or one that has made impact with the ground or bike frame during a crash (even if it has no signs of damage).
3-2. Talk to your baby’s pediatrician before using an infant bike helmet.
In the U.S. at least, youth bike helmets are specifically designed and labeled for kids age 1 and up. However, it’s possible to shop online for infant bike helmets that are typically made of styrofoam material without the hard outer shell. But, before using the helmet (or taking your baby on a bike with or without a helmet), talk to your pediatrician for reasons including the following:
The weight of the helmet may prevent your child from being able to hold their head up and keep it steady.
The strap on the helmet may present a strangulation hazard.
The helmet may offer limited protection in the event of a bike crash. These helmets don’t undergo the same type of safety testing as youth bike helmets.
Tips
A child’s bike helmet has to be “installed” safely in order to offer its max protection, and the same is true for any type of bicycle-mounted baby carrier you choose. Similar product types can have different installation methods, so always make sure you read, understand, and follow the product manual before using the carrier.[13]

They don’t provide any protection to your baby.
They position your child in such a way that it’s difficult for them to keep their head from bobbing around while you’re biking, even if they have adequate neck strength.
Your center-of-balance and/or pedaling and steering ability may be unexpectedly affected, especially if your child is moving around.
If you crash and fall off your bike, your body weight could seriously injure your child.

How to Bind Off (Crocheting)
|
1. Binding Off Straight Crochet Rows
1-1. Finish the stitches on your last row.
You should end up with one loop on your hook and the working end of your yarn sticking out across the last stitch.
1-2. Make one additional chain stitch.
Begin this by looping the working end of your yarn around your hook. Rotate your hook slightly, so the yarn stays on it, and then pull the loop of yarn back through the loop that was already on your hook. You should now have one new loop on your hook.
1-3. Pull the loop off your hook and pull it out a bit, extending it up about three inches.
You can do this by pulling the extra yarn from the working end of your project.
1-4. Clip the middle of the loop with your scissors.
Pull out the loose end of the yarn (your working end), leaving one piece of yarn sticking out of the end of your project. This piece should be at least a couple inches long.
1-5. Pull the piece of yarn sticking out of your project taut.
This should tie the end of the project off permanently and effectively, creating a solid knot.
1-6. Thread the end of the yarn onto a yarn needle.
If you are having a hard time doing this, simply bend the middle of the yarn in half and squeeze it tight. Push the bent area through the eye of the needle.
1-7. Thread the end of the yarn back through your project so it is hidden.
Using the needle, pull the yarn back through the middle of the last three stitches you made. Pull the end of the yarn out, so that the needle and yarn are sticking out in the middle of the row, and then stick the needle back into the project. Head back in the other direction with your needle and yarn, inserting the needle one row down and pushing it through the middle of about three stitches. This should lock your yarn tail in place.
1-8. Trim any excess yarn once you have threaded the yarn back and forth through the end of your project.
The yarn should stay in place, hidden in the middle of several rows of your stitches.
1-9. Stretch out the last row of your project.
Make sure that the end of the yarn is still tucked away neatly and that the tension on the row is that same as the rest of your project. Your project is now finished!
2. Binding Off Crocheting in the Round
2-1. Crochet your last ring of stitches.
This will leave you with a gap between the beginning of the round of stitches and the end of that round.
2-2. Pull the last loop of yarn off your hook and extend it out, pulling excess yarn from the working end of your yarn.
You should make your loop about eight inches long.
2-3. Cut the middle of the yarn loop with your scissors.
Pull the working end out of the project, leaving one piece of yarn sticking out of the end of your round. You will end up with four or five inches of tail, which is necessary for you to be able to finish the project.
2-4. Thread a yarn or tapestry needle onto the end of your yarn tail.
If you are having a hard time getting the yarn threaded, bend your piece of yarn over and squeeze the bent area as thin as possible with your thumb and forefinger. Push this thin bent area through the head of the needle. It should go through easier than a raggedy end piece.
2-5. Insert the needle under the first stitch of the round, moving from outside to inside, then pull your yarn tight.
In essence, you are connecting the end of your last round to the beginning of your last round by replicating that same type of stitch.
2-6. Take your needle and pull it back toward the end of your round, inserting it into the middle of your last bound off stitch, the one at the very end of your last row.
Point the end of the needle toward the inside of your project and pull the thread through. This should lock the end of your yarn in place for good.
Try to match the tension that you used in the rest of the project, so that the last stitch you just made does not stand out.
2-7. Weave in the tail of your yarn on the inside of your project.
Make sure that the end is secure before you clip off any extra tail with your scissors. You should now have an invisible bind off on your circular crochet project!

How to Bind Safely
|
1. Choosing a Binder
1-1. Avoid binding with tape or elastic bandages.
A common sight in the media is the transgender boy who has tape or an ACE bandage wrapped around his chest, trying to bind his chest down. Tape is very bad for the skin, and bandages are designed to compress, so every time you take a breath, you'll be constricting your lungs and ribcage. Using either of these materials to bind can result in chest pain, torn skin, broken ribs, severe lung problems, or even a fatal punctured lung. If you damage your ribs during binding, you may be unable to get top surgery later.
If you have absolutely no other choice than to use a bandage, do not wear it for more than an hour. Tape can rip your nipples off. Even if you put tape over an old shirt instead of on your skin, it's not safe.
Some people may suggest binding with saran wrap (plastic wrap). Avoid doing this. Saran wrap isn't breathable, and will leave you swimming in your own sweat, as well as still having the same dangers that come with using a bandage.
1-2. Use the camisole technique.
In a pinch, this technique can be good because it's cheap, easy, and does not constrict your chest very much. Get hold of a snug camisole with a built-in no-cup bra. There should be a band of elastic that rests right below your breasts. Put the camisole on backwards, shorten the straps, and position the elastic across the largest part of your breasts (most likely right across the nipples). Fold the bottom of the camisole up twice, and make sure the back and front are even. You can also put a second camisole on the same way for added flatness.
This method may not work if your chest is larger than a B-cup.
1-3. Use sports bras.
A safe way that discreetly makes your chest appear flatter is wearing sports bras. Buy a bra or two. Try them on; make sure they're properly sized and that they are comfortable. You can also wear two, with the second one inside out. It sounds odd, but it works for some.
Unlike binders, sports bras can be used for as long as you want, as they don't provide much compression around your ribs. If you plan on going somewhere for a long time, consider wearing a sports bra rather than a binder.
Wearing two sports bras at the same time works for some people. (However, it's not safe to do a binder and a sports bra, or to double-bind with anything but a sports bra.)
A too-tight sports bra can compress your ribs much more than a binder can. Worn too tight or all day, a sports bra can cause permanent damage, so remember that the safety rules still apply to you.
1-4. Purchase a binder.
To truly bind your chest safely and properly, you should invest in a proper binder. They are safe and can be bought from the internet; they come in different sizes and can make you look and feel much better.
The average cost of a chest binder varies between websites, but well-known companies such as Underworks and gc2b will range from thirty to sixty US dollars. If you can't afford one, try searching for sites that will donate new or used binders and apply to receive one, or check out clothing swap sites for trans people.
Do careful research on the binder you want to buy. Some binders are no better than bandages. There are plenty of reviews on websites and social media (Tumblr is a good source for this due to its large community of transgender and nonbinary members). If in doubt, stick to a more well-known company, even if it costs more.
1-5. Buy a quality binder of an appropriate size.
You should be able to take a deep breath in your new binder, without discomfort. When you aren't sure about sizes, buy the bigger one—a too-small binder can make you dizzy, and can be extremely difficult to take on and off. Take your measurements to help figure out your size.
Avoid cheap binders. High-quality binders are important to keep you safe. If shopping online, read the reviews.
Clasps, velcro, or zippers are usually bad choices. They may dig into your skin, or come undone easily.
2. Staying Safe
2-1. Remember that safety instructions do apply to you, even if you're wearing a sports bra or a high-quality binder.
You need to protect your health, especially if you want to be able to get top surgery someday. Find ways to cope with dysphoria, without doing anything unsafe.
Double-binding is the practice of wearing two binders at the same time. However, double-binding can have the same effect of wearing a binder that's too small, or a bandage; it can result in minor injury, rib breakage, or so forth. If your binder doesn't do a good job on its own, you may want to just try a different brand or type of binder.
2-2. Cough hard every time you put on and take off your binder.
Pneumonia is a health risk of binding, since mucus can build up in your lungs. Coughing loosens the mucus and helps keep you from getting sick. Make sure to take some deep breaths, and cough.
If you're wheezing, or your breath makes a rattling sound, this is a problem. Go to the bathroom right away, take off your binder, and cough. (If people ask if you're okay, and you're not out to them, tell them you swallowed wrong and you'll be fine.)
2-3. Don't do high-energy activities with a binder.
Take off your binder if you need to do any activity that will require you to breathe more. Switch to a looser sports bra or folded camisole instead. You don't want to pass out. If you exert yourself too much while wearing a binder, take it off, sit or lie down somewhere cool, and drink water. While wearing a binder, you shouldn't...
Exercise
Do sexual activities
Lift heavy objects
Run or jog (even if you're running late)
Mow the lawn on a warm day
Sing in choir, or play an instrument that requires breath
Ride roller coasters
2-4. Do daily stretches.
Stretching your shoulders, chest, and back can help you stay healthier. You can find example stretches for people who use binders online.
2-5. Be prepared to handle heat.
Binding can make it easier for you to get overheated in hot weather. Take good care of yourself, and pay attention to the signals your body is giving you. Take a break from binding, or skip it for a day, if you're getting too hot.
Drink lots of water.
Wear cotton or linen shirts that breathe well.
Use ice to cool down quickly if needed.
Stay in air-conditioned buildings when you can.
2-6. Take off your binder when possible.
It's not good to wear your binder for more than 8 hours at a time. Take it off when you're at home, or with people you trust. It can also be helpful to take quick breaks (even only for a minute or two) by taking your binder off in the bathroom and breathing a little.
If you start to feel pain, discomfort, or shortness of breath, take off your binder. If you're in public, go to the restroom to take it off.
2-7. Sleep with your binder off.
Always take off your binder before going to sleep. The pressure of the binder, combined with the pressure of your body against the bed or surface, can increase the risk of complications such as bruised or broken ribs.
If you accidentally fall asleep with your binder on, take it off immediately, and then avoid binding for the rest of the day.
Ask your family to wake you if they see you sleeping in a binder, so you can take it off.
2-8. Take proper care of your binder or sports bras.
Regardless of what you're using to bind your chest down, it's still important to take proper care of it. Sports bras can easily go through the normal wash cycle, but binders are a little more complicated; they often need to be washed in cold water, then hung out to air-dry. Check the website of where you purchased the binder to find out if there are any specific washing instructions.
You may be able to wash your binder in the sink, using soap, detergent, or shampoo.
If you only have one binder, you may not want to wash it every day, which is fine. Just make sure that your binder doesn't smell. Use deodorant, spray the binder with a scent remover like Febreeze, and consider wearing a thin and breathable shirt under your binder to reduce sweat and odor.
2-9. Know what's normal for binding.
Binding can be uncomfortable, and this isn't always a reason for worry. The following things are all normal, and not a cause for concern, if you're binding:
You get winded after climbing the stairs, but you catch your breath quickly.
Your underarms have chafing.
Your arms, shoulders, or back are a bit sore.
You have more chest and back acne.
You're a little (but not a lot) worried about the tightness.
Your chest begins to sag after months or years of binding.
2-10. Know what isn't normal for binding.
Too much discomfort can be a sign that your binder is too small, or that you need a break from binding. Take off your binder, and consider wearing a larger size in the future, if:
You can't catch your breath.
You feel nauseated, dizzy, or light-headed.
Your arms feel numb.
You have bruises, a rash, or bleeding. It hurts when you touch it.
You're unable to cough or sneeze.
You start feeling too tired to do ordinary things.
You have pain for hours or days after binding.
2-11. Know when to see a doctor.
Stop binding (or only use a camisole) and contact a doctor if you suspect that something is seriously wrong. Consider going to a hospital if you take off your binder and still are not okay.
You can't breathe.
Your lips or fingertips look blue.
You faint.
You're experiencing claustrophobia or panic attacks.
You feel sharp pains in your chest.
Your heart is skipping beats or beating too fast.
Your ribcage seems to have changed shape.
Something else is going on that really worries you. (Play it safe.)
2-12. When in doubt, play it safe.
If you don't feel great, it's better to take off your binder, and let yourself breathe better. Take off your binder if you're sick, traveling on an airplane, or just not feeling great. Always keep a looser binding method in your bag (such as a more relaxed sports bra) so you can change if you start feeling not so great.
If you aren't comfortable taking off your binder, see if you can at least switch to a looser binder.
Pain is a sign that something is wrong. Pushing through discomfort for a time can be okay, but pushing through pain is not. It's also a bad sign if you are bleeding; it means you're damaging your skin.
3. Understanding Binding
3-1. Understand what binding is.
Binding is the effect of pushing breasts back towards the body, creating the appearance of a flat chest. It's most often used by transgender men or nonbinary people, who may have to bind their breasts down, but it's also sometimes used by cisgender (non-transgender) men who have gynecomastia, or enlarged breasts due to excess fat and breast tissue.
Binding for extended periods of time will break down the breast tissue, creating "floppy" breasts, so it's not a good idea for cisgender women who just want their breasts to appear smaller. Minimizer bras are probably a better choice.
3-2. Know the risks of binding unsafely or excessively.
Binding is only safe if you do it right, and many people don't bind safely. If you bind too tightly or too often, you can risk doing permanent damage to your body—including damage that later in your life, or prevents you from being able to ever bind again. Risks of unsafe binding include:
Fractured ribs
Scarring
Respiratory infections and pneumonia
3-3. Expect to need a little practice.
Binding can be tricky, and you may not be skilled at it right away. That's okay. Stay safe, and start small. Try only wearing your binder for an hour or two, and only wear it around trusted loved ones until you're sure you can take it on and off without help.
Try starting with a half tank binder, instead of a full tank one. These are easier to take on and off, and are a good choice for beginners.
It's possible to get stuck in your binder if you're new to binding. Practice taking it on and off first, with a loved one nearby to help if you get trapped.
Putting baby powder or talcum powder on your chest can make it easier to put your binder on if you're slightly sweaty/damp. (If you're very wet, dry off first.)
3-4. Remember that nobody has a perfectly flat chest.
It's okay if you have a bit of a bulge on top. Many men and nonbinary people have these. People might just think that you have really big pectoral muscles from working out a lot.
A "masculine chest" does not auto-equal a flat chest.
Never judge your chest size by looking down. You don't have good perspective from above your chest. Instead, look in the mirror.
Tips
Trans people recommend Underworks, gc2b, Danae, Shapeshifters, Design Veronique, XBODY, Flavnt, Double Design, and Spectrum Outfitters. They warn against LesLoveBoat, Lesbinders, eBay/Amazon, The Discriminant, and Ancient Fish King.[32]

There are also places where you can get used binders.[34]
X
Research source
If you're running tight on money but still need to buy a binder, see if there are any discount codes or coupons for the company that you're purchasing from. Some binding companies will offer periodic discounts on their binders.
If you are living under your parents' roof and are in the closet or not accepted, tell your parents it is for a Halloween costume or cosplay, or consider buying it and having it shipped to a supportive friend's house (as long as this is okay with them). If you want to wear your binder without getting caught by parents, put it on at school or in a public bathroom once you are no longer under your parents' supervision, and take it off after school or before you see your parents.
Warnings
Avoid binding while sick. Binding while sick can restrict your breathing.
Avoid physical activity while binding. A general rule of thumb is that if it makes you tired without wearing the binder or has you breathing harder than normal, don't do it while wearing a binder.
If you have pets, don't leave your binder on the floor. Some house pets, such as cats, may choose to lay down on your binder and claw it. While this wouldn't destroy most binders, it gives it a bit of an unsightly appearance and can damage some of the binding material.
Don't bind during air travel; it can cause you to overheat or struggle to breathe.[35]

Research source
Wear a sports bra or something looser.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Choosing a Binder\\n1-1. Avoid binding with tape or elastic bandages.\\nA common sight in the media is the transgender boy who has tape or an ACE bandage wrapped around his chest, trying to bind his chest down. Tape is very bad for the skin, and bandages are designed to compress, so every time you take a breath, you'll be constricting your lungs and ribcage. Using either of these materials to bind can result in chest pain, torn skin, broken ribs, severe lung problems, or even a fatal punctured lung. If you damage your ribs during binding, you may be unable to get top surgery later. \\nIf you have absolutely no other choice than to use a bandage, do not wear it for more than an hour. Tape can rip your nipples off. Even if you put tape over an old shirt instead of on your skin, it's not safe.\\nSome people may suggest binding with saran wrap (plastic wrap). Avoid doing this. Saran wrap isn't breathable, and will leave you swimming in your own sweat, as well as still having the same dangers that come with using a bandage.\\n1-2. Use the camisole technique.\\nIn a pinch, this technique can be good because it's cheap, easy, and does not constrict your chest very much. Get hold of a snug camisole with a built-in no-cup bra. There should be a band of elastic that rests right below your breasts. Put the camisole on backwards, shorten the straps, and position the elastic across the largest part of your breasts (most likely right across the nipples). Fold the bottom of the camisole up twice, and make sure the back and front are even. You can also put a second camisole on the same way for added flatness. \\nThis method may not work if your chest is larger than a B-cup.\\n1-3. Use sports bras.\\nA safe way that discreetly makes your chest appear flatter is wearing sports bras. Buy a bra or two. Try them on; make sure they're properly sized and that they are comfortable. You can also wear two, with the second one inside out. It sounds odd, but it works for some. \\nUnlike binders, sports bras can be used for as long as you want, as they don't provide much compression around your ribs. If you plan on going somewhere for a long time, consider wearing a sports bra rather than a binder.\\nWearing two sports bras at the same time works for some people. (However, it's not safe to do a binder and a sports bra, or to double-bind with anything but a sports bra.)\\nA too-tight sports bra can compress your ribs much more than a binder can. Worn too tight or all day, a sports bra can cause permanent damage, so remember that the safety rules still apply to you.\\n1-4. Purchase a binder.\\nTo truly bind your chest safely and properly, you should invest in a proper binder. They are safe and can be bought from the internet; they come in different sizes and can make you look and feel much better. \\nThe average cost of a chest binder varies between websites, but well-known companies such as Underworks and gc2b will range from thirty to sixty US dollars. If you can't afford one, try searching for sites that will donate new or used binders and apply to receive one, or check out clothing swap sites for trans people.\\nDo careful research on the binder you want to buy. Some binders are no better than bandages. There are plenty of reviews on websites and social media (Tumblr is a good source for this due to its large community of transgender and nonbinary members). If in doubt, stick to a more well-known company, even if it costs more.\\n1-5. Buy a quality binder of an appropriate size.\\nYou should be able to take a deep breath in your new binder, without discomfort. When you aren't sure about sizes, buy the bigger one—a too-small binder can make you dizzy, and can be extremely difficult to take on and off. Take your measurements to help figure out your size. \\nAvoid cheap binders. High-quality binders are important to keep you safe. If shopping online, read the reviews.\\nClasps, velcro, or zippers are usually bad choices. They may dig into your skin, or come undone easily.\\n2. Staying Safe\\n2-1.

How to Bind Your Chest
|
1. Using a Professional Binder
1-1. Find out where to buy chest binders.
There are several companies online that design binders specifically for trans men. There are also trans men who sell used binders that either no longer fit or aren't of any use to them. You may also be able to purchase a binder from your local sex positive merchant.
Binders are not only used for trans men but also for males who have gynecomastia. You can find binders that specialize in helping men with gynecomastia.
If you can't afford a binder, there are many programs that you can apply for to receive cheap or free binders. However, most of these exchange programs are geared towards helping low income trans men when they're transitioning.
1-2. Choose the right size of binder to wear.
If you know your bra size, most merchants will be able to help you convert your bra size to a binder size. If you're buying online, a chart or online conversion tool may be available on the merchant's website.
It's important to get the right fit for your binder. A binder is not always comfortable to wear but you should always be able to breathe when you're wearing it. You should never feel restricted to a point that you can't.
1-3. Decide if you want a long or short binder.
Short binders end right at your waist, or underneath your bust. Long binders reach several inches past your waist and about an inch before your belly button (depending on your body type).
Long binders tend to roll up and may need adjustment, while short binders stay unrolled easier. A binder that rolls can cause unsightly lines to show through your clothing. A way to counteract this problem is to fold up an inch from the bottom of your binder to stop it from rolling.
Choose a long or short binder based on your body type and the comfort of your fit. If you have a heavier body type, you may benefit more with a long binder as it will not roll up as often.
1-4. Put on your binder.
Binders are put on differently than regular bras or sports bra. Start by:
Putting your binder inside out and upside down.
Step into your binder and pull the bottom up towards your head to your waist.
Use the shoulder sleeves to pull the binder outside.
Put your arms through the sleeves.
Pull out the bottom of your binder for it to lay flat. Some people will leave it folded to prevent the binder from rolling up when they're out and about.
1-5. Adjust your chest to fit your binder.
After putting on your binder for the first time, you may notice you have something that looks like one boob or a uni-boob. There are several ways to adjust your binder to fit you better:
Make your chest look flatter by separating your breasts from each other. Reach your hand into your binder and push your breasts apart towards your arm.
Push your breasts down to achieve a flatter look. Reach your hand into your binder and push your breasts down to lay them flat.
Trim or alter parts of your binder to prevent bulging or chafing. Your binder may be too long or it may fit too close to your armpit. With a scissors, needle, and some thread, you can alter the binder to fit you better.
Alter the fit by adding velcro, spandex, or other materials to your binder. Maybe the bottom of your binder is too snug but everything else fits perfectly or the bottom rolls up all the time. You can add velcro or spandex to the bottom of your binder to help.
1-6. Use tips and tricks to make binder wearing more effective and comfortable.
For some people, a binder may not be enough, especially if you have a larger bust size. Or a binder is too uncomfortable or inconvenient to wear. Some tips to better your experience with binder wearing are:
Wear a shirt underneath your binder. It makes wearing a binder more comfortable and reduces the possibility of your binder moving around.
Wear layers of clothes to get a flatter look. Loose or baggy clothes can help you disguise the look of a bust.
Check the mirror for a better view of your chest. It may look bigger when you look down on it. So adjust your appearance based on what you see in the mirror.
Move, slouch, sit, and jump around when you're trying on your binder. It may look good while you're standing up, but it might feel or look differently when you start moving.
Apply cornstarch or baby powder on your body before putting on your binder to absorb moisture or sweat. Some binders may not be breathable and cause you to sweat in hot weather or when you're exerting yourself. Cornstarch and baby powder can help prevent your skin from getting irritated from the tightness of the binder.
1-7. Practice safety while wearing your binder.
It is extremely important to wear a binder safely to protect your body from permanent health issues and damage. An extremely tight binder can result in restricted breathing, broken ribs, damage to chest tissue overtime, and cause fluid build-up in your chest.
Do not wear your binder for more than 8-12 hours. If you wear your binder for long periods of time, you risk bruising and restricting oxygen to you body.
Chest binding is only a short-term solution. Long-term chest binding can cause permanent tissue damage. If you plan to bind your chest daily for any reason, consider looking into safer long-term options.
Never sleep with your binder on. Wearing a binder at night can affect your breathing and/or cause skin irritation.
Do not put bandages or duct tape over your binder. In fact, use duct tape or bandages to flatten your chest. These tactics restrict movement and oxygen from entering your body.
2. Wearing Sports Bras
2-1. Find a good sports bra.
A tight fitting sports bra can do very well to flatten your chest. You can try on a sports bra that is a size smaller for extra flattening. However, it shouldn't be painful to have on and it should never restrict your breathing.
When you're trying on your sports bra, take a couple of deep breaths to ensure it's not restricting your ability to breathe.
Move around in your sports bra when you're trying it on by bending, slouching, jumping, and sitting. This gives you an idea of how your sports bra will fit and feel when you're in motion. It might feel and look good while you're standing up, but it might feel differently when you're moving in it throughout the day.
Look for bras that are made of spandex. Spandex is both stretchy and form-fitting at the same time.
Don't wear a sports bra for too long if it is particularly tight. The general rule for most chest binding methods is to wear the garment for no more than 8 hours.
2-2. Put on another sports bra.
If one sports bra doesn't do the trick, try putting on two to better flatten your chest. You can try:
Putting the first sports bra on regularly and the second one on backwards.
A larger size for your second sports bra. If the second bra is too hard to put on over the first one, go up a size and see how it fits and feels.
2-3. Always be safe when binding your chest.
With any method of binding, it's always important to do it safely. Tight or long-term binding can cause permanent tissue damage, respiratory problems, bruising, and broken ribs.
Do not use ACE or elastic bandages over your sports bras. Any type of chest binding with bandages can be dangerous, causing damage to your breast tissue, lungs, and ribs.
Only bind your chest for a maximum of 8 hours.
Get fitted for a sports bra. A professional can help you find a bra that fits you better and flattens your chest for effectively.
3. Using a Neoprene Waist Trimmer
3-1. Put the waist trimmer on your chest.
Wrap it around so that the velcro fold falls under one of your arms.
Neoprene waist trimmers work as compression wear to improve blood circulation for people who are exercising. They are also worn to give a better and trimmer-looking waist for people who aren't.
3-2. Cut the trimmer to fit your chest.
If your waist trimmer is too long for your chest, cut the end without the velcro with scissors to fit your bust. You don't want to double wrap your chest which could create the opposite effect you want.
If the trimmer is poking at your sides or under your arm, cut the corners of the trimmer into a smooth curve with scissors.
3-3. Apply lotion and baby powder to reduce irritation.
The neoprene trimmer can cause chafing and extra moisture to build up on and around your bust. Sprinkle from baby powder before wearing your trimmer to help absorb the excess moisture. Put on lotion after you take off your trimmer regularly to protect your skin from chaffing and drying out.
Don't put on lotion and baby powder at the same time or while you're wearing your trimmer. You could damage your trimmer and the combination of lotion and powder could make a paste.
3-4. Practice safety while wearing a waist trimmer as a binder.
It is extremely important when binding your chest to do it safely and protect your body from permanent health issues and damage. An extremely tight trimmer can result in restricted breathing, broken ribs, damage to chest tissue over time, and cause fluid build-up in your chest.
Do not wear a trimmer for more than 8 hours. If you wear your trimmer for long periods of time, you risk bruising and restricting oxygen to your body.
Never sleep with your trimmer on.
Do not put bandages or duct tape over your trimmer. In fact, use duct tape or bandages to flatten your chest. These tactics restrict movement and oxygen to enter to your body.
4. Using Other Methods
4-1. Layer shirts over your binding.
This is very effective if you've already bound your chest. It is also an alternative if you don't have anything to bind with. A tight t-shirt or tank top under some loose shirts or a button up can make your chest look smaller.
4-2. Wear clothes that will draw attention away from your chest.
Alternatively, some clothing may also make your chest appear flatter. You can do this either in conjunction with layering or on its own.
Wear patterns or colours that distract the eye from your chest. Shirts with regular patterns (like plaid) can emphasize the fact that there's something underneath, whereas irregular patterns, like camouflage, will break up outlines and make them harder to see. Depending on the shirt, shirts with a logo right across your chest may make your bust more or less noticeable. Details that cover the entire shirt are stiff and will make your front appear flatter. Darker colored shirts hide shadows to make your chest seem smaller.
Wear scarves, vests, and ties. These garments help cover or distract others from looking at your chest.
Wearing clothes with pockets on the chest. Instead of looking at your chest, the eye may be drawn to your pocket. This is most effective if the shirt is loose hanging.
Wearing hoodies. Hoodies are usually quite loose fitting. An oversized hoodie over a tight tank can hide your chest quite well.
4-3. Wear sports compression wear.
Sports compression wear is mainly worn to improve blood circulation when exercising or to help relieve tension in muscles after working out. These form-fitting garments can be found in your local sportswear retail store.
The same effect can be achieved by wearing a tight swimming suit top. However, the swimming suit might need to be several sizes smaller for it to take effect and trimmed along the elastic hems to relieve pressure on your extremities.
Tips
Losing weight may make your chest smaller and easier to bind.
Cough after removing your binder. It will remove any buildup in your lungs after being compressed.
Wear lots of shirts and singlets or tank tops; it makes your chest look flat.
Warnings
Do not ever bind with tape. It is not meant for skin, and will not allow you to breathe properly.
Do not ever bind with an elastic bandage. The material constricts when you breathe, compressing your rib cage. This can lead to broken ribs, lung damage, and long-term damage to your rib cage. This can prevent you from binding in the future, or ever getting top surgery (breast removal).
Don't sleep with any type of binder on. While gynecomastia binders and binders made specifically for trans people are much safer than ACE bandages, you still shouldn't sleep while wearing one. You won't be able to feel if it's getting uncomfortable or it might move around in your sleep and restrict your breathing.
Don't bind for more than 8 hours, and do not try to bind for 8 hours the first time. Start with a few hours and work up to it.
While looking online for a binder, it is wise not to purchase one that is marketed at lesbians, as those are intended for a more aesthetic than practical purpose and can cause more harm than good. Also, purchasing binders off of eBay can be extremely dangerous as those binders can be sub-par and could cause damage the same as the kind marketed as lesbians.
Most people find that binding will decrease the density of their breast tissue when done on a regular basis, leading to smaller and saggier breasts. Consider looking for safer long-term solutions by consulting a health professional or an LGBTQ+ mentor if you're transitioning. Even wearing a binder daily for no more than couple of months can permanently alter the shape of the breasts.
Don't push your breasts downwards when binding. You look flatter but it can negatively impact top surgery.
While the safest ways of binding are with a professional binder or with sports bras, all methods of binding have the potential to be unsafe if you do them wrong. Always listen to your body: If something is hurting, take off your bind as soon as possible.
Most binders sold on Amazon for less than $20 and are targeted toward lesbians are very dangerous. They can be very small, restrict your breathing, and can result in very serious health problems.
While no concrete research has linked binding to breast cancer, binding your chest can create lumps which, while inherently benign, can lead to expensive, uncomfortable, and ultimately unnecessary health problems.

You won't be able to feel if it's getting uncomfortable or it might move around in your sleep and restrict your breathing.\\nDon't bind for more than 8 hours, and do not try to bind for 8 hours the first time. Start with a few hours and work up to it.\\nWhile looking online for a binder, it is wise not to purchase one that is marketed at lesbians, as those are intended for a more aesthetic than practical purpose and can cause more harm than good. Also, purchasing binders off of eBay can be extremely dangerous as those binders can be sub-par and could cause damage the same as the kind marketed as lesbians.\\nMost people find that binding will decrease the density of their breast tissue when done on a regular basis, leading to smaller and saggier breasts. Consider looking for safer long-term solutions by consulting a health professional or an LGBTQ+ mentor if you're transitioning. Even wearing a binder daily for no more than couple of months can permanently alter the shape of the breasts.\\nDon't push your breasts downwards when binding. You look flatter but it can negatively impact top surgery.\\nWhile the safest ways of binding are with a professional binder or with sports bras, all methods of binding have the potential to be unsafe if you do them wrong. Always listen to your body: If something is hurting, take off your bind as soon as possible.\\nMost binders sold on Amazon for less than $20 and are targeted toward lesbians are very dangerous.

Bind Your Own Book at Home: A Beginner's Guide
|
1. Binding with Tape
1-1. Fold your pages in half and stack them folded.
Make sure the fold is crisp by using a bone folder or running the top of your nail over it to smooth it down. You can fold pages individually or fold multiple pages together. Folding individual pages is better as it will ensure each page is folded precisely, but folding multiple pages at once will save you time. Stack the pages together folded, not open.
If you have too many pages to fold crisply, try creating packets of signatures. A signature is a group of 4 sheets folded down the center.
Most books are folded hamburger style (i.e., by folding the shorter ends of the paper together), but you can fold however you want.
1-2. Open your pages and staple them together at the crease.
Be sure to staple with the crease facing down, so the flat part of the staple faces out and the staple “arms” rest on the inside of the crease. Use a long reach stapler if your regular stapler can’t reach the middle crease. Staple your pages 3 time at even intervals.
If you made signatures, staple each signature separately and then stack your stapled signatures. Leave the stack unstapled.
1-3. Use a pencil to mark a ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) margin.
If you don’t give yourself a large enough margin, some of the page’s contents may be obscured. Any words printed within ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the crease will become part of the binding and therefore be impossible to read.
If you’re binding a book of material printed from Microsoft Word, make sure your pages have a “gutter” margin of about ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) before you print them. The gutter margin is the inside margin, the margin that will be partially obscured when the book is bound.
1-4. Cut a piece of binding tape about 2 inches (5.1 cm) longer than your book.
Make sure your tape is strong enough to hold the book together—linen tape or cotton tape will give your book the support it needs. Your tape can be colorful or simple: it won’t be seen once the book is finished.
Avoid using masking tape or clear tape. These tapes won't be strong enough to support your book.
1-5. Apply the tape lengthwise to the spine, with half the tape on each cover.
Instead of attempting to place the tape on the book, place the tape on a flat surface sticky-side up and press the book into it: this will ensure you maintain a straight, even tape line. Press the book into the middle of the tape, and fold the rest of the tape to cover the other side of the book.
If your book is thick, leave a larger margin of tape so you have enough tape to cover the spine and still reach the other side.
Use your fingers to press the tape around the book’s spine so that it covers both the bottom of the book, the spine, and the top of the book.
If your book has many pages or several signatures, you might want to tape it more than once to reinforce it. Repeat the process of taping the book until the book’s binding feels secure.
1-6. Cut the excess tape.
Because your tape was longer than the book itself, you’ll have some excess tape on the top and bottom of the book. Use scissors or an X-ACTO knife to cut the tape, making sure to cut it as close to the book’s page as possible.
Avoid folding leftover tape over the book, as this may make your book harder to open. Trim any excess tape.
2. Using Ribbon
2-1. Ensure your pages have at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of margin on the left-hand side.
If you printed your pages using Microsoft Word, you should automatically have 1 inch (2.5 cm) of border. If you wrote your pages by hand, make sure the writing has a margin. If you don’t have a margin, any words on the left-hand edge will be impossible to read.
If you want to bind a page that doesn’t have a margin, you could either paste the page into a larger page with an adequate margin, or “build” a wider margin by gluing or taping a strip of paper to the inner edge of the page.
2-2. Punch a hole ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the top and bottom corners of the top page.
Use a handheld hole-punch to create a hole ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the top of the page and ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the left-hand side, and then repeat the process on the bottom of the page, measuring ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the bottom and ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the left-hand side.
If you’re having trouble measuring and hole-punching at the same time, mark where the hole should be with a pencil before hole punching.
2-3. Use a ruler to draw a faint line connecting the two holes.
The line should run from the top of the cover to the bottom in a straight line, and you only need to do this on the top page, though you will be using your markings as a guide to holepunch the entire stack of pages. Be sure to use a pencil so you can erase the line later on.
You can also choose to draw a thick line with pen or permanent marker if you want the line to remain on the cover.
2-4. Stack the pages and hole-punch the book every ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) along the line.
Using your top page as a guide, hole-punch the entire stack of pages. Each hole must be on the line. Use a ruler to make sure your holes are in the proper spots. You’ll be threading the ribbon through these holes later on.
Consider measuring and marking the spots with your pencil prior to punching the holes, for accuracy.
To make sure your pages don't slip out of place while you punch your holes, clamp them together with binder clips or clothespins.
2-5. Measure and cut a piece of ribbon that’s twice as long as your book.
Go all out! This is where you can really start to get creative with your book cover. Almost any ribbon will work, but keep in mind that if it's made of too thick material or if it's too wide, you may struggle to fit it through your hole punches.
Choose a simple black tape for a classic look, or go for a colorful design if you want something more personalized.
2-6. Thread the ribbon in and out of each hole.
Start from the top hole and move your way down the spine, lacing your ribbon up through one hole and down through another, until you’ve laced each hole. Make sure you don’t completely pull the ribbon through the first hole, since you’re going to tie the ribbon binding closed.
If your ribbon isn’t long enough, remove it and cut a longer piece.
2-7. Loop the ribbon back through the top and bottom holes and tie it.
Once your ribbon has been laced through each punched hole, tie it off with a simple knot or a fancy bow, and cut off any excess. Now your book is complete!
Looping the ribbon a second time reinforces the binding. Depending on how many pages you have, loop it a third time for an even stronger binding.
3. Sewing the Binding
3-1. Fold your pages in half.
Use a bone folder or the top of your nail to get a crisp fold. You can fold individually or in groups, depending on how many pages you have. Folding individually will ensure your pages are folded precisely, but folding multiple pages at a time will make the process go faster.
It’s common to fold your pages hamburger style—i.e., fold the 2 short ends together—but fold your book however you wish!
3-2. Use a ruler to measure how long the spine is and divide it by 6.
This bookbinding method requires 5 holes at the crease. They should be equally spread apart, but the spacing between the dots will depend on how large your paper is.
For example, if you have a paper that’s 8.5 by 11 in (22 by 28 cm) printer paper, dividing that by 6 gives you 1.4 inches (3.6 cm), meaning you'd space your holes 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) apart.
If you know your page measurements, you don’t have to measure. If you don’t know, or if you’re not using a standard page size, make sure you measure precisely.
3-3. Mark your measurements on the page with a pencil.
Do this on the inside of the crease, and use a ruler to make sure your measurements are precise. These dots are known as stations, with the first station being the one on the “bottom” of the page and the fifth station being the one on the “top” of the page.
For example, if you have a paper that’s 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm), your first dot will be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) from the edge. Then, each progressive dot will be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) up from the previous dot. Your fifth dot should be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) away from the top of the page.
3-4. Pierce each station with an awl.
An awl is used to pierce small holes in anything from paper to leather to wood. Make sure you’re using an awl made for paper.
If you don’t have an awl, you can use a large needle.
3-5. Pull 2 inches (5.1 cm) of thread through the page at the third station.
Use a needle to sew your binding, starting with the third station (that is, the station in the exact middle), not the top or bottom station. Hold the remaining thread with your non-dominant hand to make sure you don’t accidentally pull too much through. Leave the rest of the thread on the spool for now to ensure you have enough to stitch the whole spine.
You can use whatever color thread you like, but remember your thread will be visible!
3-6. Put your needle through the fourth, fifth, and fourth station again.
Your needle and thread should be on the inside of the crease at station 4 to start. Pull it through the fifth station to the outside crease, and then back through to the inside at station 4 again.
3-7. Go through the second, first, and second stations.
Make sure your needle goes outside the second station, inside the first station, and then back outside the second station again. Once you’ve finished this step, your thread should be facing away from the crease.
3-8. Pull your thread through the third station, cut it from the spool, and tie a knot.
Every station should be threaded, and your book should now have thread both inside and outside of the crease. Tie the thread on the inside of the crease and pull firmly.
You can tie whatever knot you’d like as long as it firmly keeps the sewing in place.
4. Single Sheet Binding
4-1. Reinforce the edge of each page and cover with clear tape.
Running tape along the spine edge of each piece of paper you will be binding will help reduce the chances that your stitching will tear out. Place half of the tape on one side of each piece of paper, and fold it over to the other side. Repeat with every page.
In single sheet binding, you don’t fold your pages like you do for other bookbinding methods, but this means that you run the risk of the stitching tearing out of your pages if they are not reinforced well enough.
You can use thick cardstock or thick cardboard as your cover.
4-2. Make 3 marks on the edge of each page, evenly spaced apart.
Make your first mark ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine and ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) down from the top of the page. Put the last mark ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine and ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) up from the bottom of the page. Your third mark will fall at the middle point between the other two, ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine. Make the marks against your ruler to make sure they’re straight. Repeat the process on the bottom of the stack of pages.
Perform this same process on the front and back covers as well.
4-3. Stack your sheets in groups of 4 and pierce the holes with an awl.
If you don’t have an awl, you can also use a thick needle.
Use this same process to pierce holes in your front and back covers.
4-4. Multiply the cover area and the page count and cut 6 threads of that length.
Multiply the length and width of the top page or book cover (if you're using a cover) to get the area, and then take that number and multiply it by the number of pages in your book. This is the length in inches or centimeters your thread should be. Make sure you cut 6 individual pieces of thread.
If you have 20 pages, and your area is 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) long, you will need 45 inches (110 cm) of thread for each thread.
4-5. Put your binding needle and thread through the first hole on the bottom page.
Bring your thread around and tie a knot in the thread against itself using your binding needle. The knot should be on the side of the paper that faces “up,” not the edge.
Once you’ve tied the knot, you can trim off the end and tuck it in for a cleaner look.
4-6. Thread the needle through the back cover's first hole.
Pull the thread until it pulls the paper flush with the back cover’s edge, and then thread the needle under the first loop you made.
When threading the needle under the first loop you made, make sure you go under both threads, not through the loop.
4-7. Thread all holes with a new needle and thread, adding more pages as you go.
Repeat the threading and looping process with each subsequent page for each hole, until you've stitched the top cover. After you've stitched one hole, don't remove the needle, as you'll need it again when you stack a new page on. Use a new needle for each thread.
If you want to give your book some whimsy, choose a different color thread for each binding hole, or keep all of the thread colors the same for a more uniform style.
For a sturdier book, loop your needle and thread around the stitch below the page you’re currently working on, starting on the third page.
4-8. Tie the threads to secure them.
Once you’ve threaded all the pages and covers, looped the thread, and hooked the needle under the first loop, thread the needle under the previous stitch, then thread the needle back inside the book to tie a knot. Put the needle through the inside stitch, leaving a small loop in the thread you've just wound through the stitch, and then tie a knot by putting the needle through the loop and pulling it taut.

Press the book into the middle of the tape, and fold the rest of the tape to cover the other side of the book.\\nIf your book is thick, leave a larger margin of tape so you have enough tape to cover the spine and still reach the other side.\\nUse your fingers to press the tape around the book’s spine so that it covers both the bottom of the book, the spine, and the top of the book.\\nIf your book has many pages or several signatures, you might want to tape it more than once to reinforce it. Repeat the process of taping the book until the book’s binding feels secure.\\n1-6. Cut the excess tape.\\nBecause your tape was longer than the book itself, you’ll have some excess tape on the top and bottom of the book. Use scissors or an X-ACTO knife to cut the tape, making sure to cut it as close to the book’s page as possible.\\nAvoid folding leftover tape over the book, as this may make your book harder to open. Trim any excess tape.\\n2. Using Ribbon\\n2-1. Ensure your pages have at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of margin on the left-hand side.\\nIf you printed your pages using Microsoft Word, you should automatically have 1 inch (2.5 cm) of border. If you wrote your pages by hand, make sure the writing has a margin. If you don’t have a margin, any words on the left-hand edge will be impossible to read.\\nIf you want to bind a page that doesn’t have a margin, you could either paste the page into a larger page with an adequate margin, or “build” a wider margin by gluing or taping a strip of paper to the inner edge of the page.\\n2-2. Punch a hole ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the top and bottom corners of the top page.\\nUse a handheld hole-punch to create a hole ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the top of the page and ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the left-hand side, and then repeat the process on the bottom of the page, measuring ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the bottom and ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the left-hand side.\\nIf you’re having trouble measuring and hole-punching at the same time, mark where the hole should be with a pencil before hole punching.\\n2-3. Use a ruler to draw a faint line connecting the two holes.\\nThe line should run from the top of the cover to the bottom in a straight line, and you only need to do this on the top page, though you will be using your markings as a guide to holepunch the entire stack of pages. Be sure to use a pencil so you can erase the line later on.\\nYou can also choose to draw a thick line with pen or permanent marker if you want the line to remain on the cover.\\n2-4. Stack the pages and hole-punch the book every ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) along the line.\\nUsing your top page as a guide, hole-punch the entire stack of pages. Each hole must be on the line. Use a ruler to make sure your holes are in the proper spots. You’ll be threading the ribbon through these holes later on.\\nConsider measuring and marking the spots with your pencil prior to punching the holes, for accuracy.\\nTo make sure your pages don't slip out of place while you punch your holes, clamp them together with binder clips or clothespins.\\n2-5. Measure and cut a piece of ribbon that’s twice as long as your book.\\nGo all out! This is where you can really start to get creative with your book cover. Almost any ribbon will work, but keep in mind that if it's made of too thick material or if it's too wide, you may struggle to fit it through your hole punches.\\nChoose a simple black tape for a classic look, or go for a colorful design if you want something more personalized.\\n2-6. Thread the ribbon in and out of each hole.\\nStart from the top hole and move your way down the spine, lacing your ribbon up through one hole and down through another, until you’ve laced each hole. Make sure you don’t completely pull the ribbon through the first hole, since you’re going to tie the ribbon binding closed.\\nIf your ribbon isn’t long enough, remove it and cut a longer piece.\\n2-7. Loop the ribbon back through the top and bottom holes and tie it.\\nOnce your ribbon has been laced through each punched hole, tie it off with a simple knot or a fancy bow, and cut off any excess. Now your book is complete!\\nLooping the ribbon a second time reinforces the binding. Depending on how many pages you have, loop it a third time for an even stronger binding.\\n3. Sewing the Binding\\n3-1. Fold your pages in half.\\nUse a bone folder or the top of your nail to get a crisp fold. You can fold individually or in groups, depending on how many pages you have. Folding individually will ensure your pages are folded precisely, but folding multiple pages at a time will make the process go faster.\\nIt’s common to fold your pages hamburger style—i.e., fold the 2 short ends together—but fold your book however you wish!\\n3-2. Use a ruler to measure how long the spine is and divide it by 6.\\nThis bookbinding method requires 5 holes at the crease. They should be equally spread apart, but the spacing between the dots will depend on how large your paper is.\\nFor example, if you have a paper that’s 8.5 by 11 in (22 by 28 cm) printer paper, dividing that by 6 gives you 1.4 inches (3.6 cm), meaning you'd space your holes 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) apart.\\nIf you know your page measurements, you don’t have to measure. If you don’t know, or if you’re not using a standard page size, make sure you measure precisely.\\n3-3. Mark your measurements on the page with a pencil.\\nDo this on the inside of the crease, and use a ruler to make sure your measurements are precise. These dots are known as stations, with the first station being the one on the “bottom” of the page and the fifth station being the one on the “top” of the page.\\nFor example, if you have a paper that’s 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm), your first dot will be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) from the edge. Then, each progressive dot will be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) up from the previous dot. Your fifth dot should be 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) away from the top of the page.\\n3-4. Pierce each station with an awl.\\nAn awl is used to pierce small holes in anything from paper to leather to wood. Make sure you’re using an awl made for paper.\\nIf you don’t have an awl, you can use a large needle.\\n3-5. Pull 2 inches (5.1 cm) of thread through the page at the third station.\\nUse a needle to sew your binding, starting with the third station (that is, the station in the exact middle), not the top or bottom station. Hold the remaining thread with your non-dominant hand to make sure you don’t accidentally pull too much through. Leave the rest of the thread on the spool for now to ensure you have enough to stitch the whole spine.\\nYou can use whatever color thread you like, but remember your thread will be visible!\\n3-6. Put your needle through the fourth, fifth, and fourth station again.\\nYour needle and thread should be on the inside of the crease at station 4 to start. Pull it through the fifth station to the outside crease, and then back through to the inside at station 4 again.\\n3-7. Go through the second, first, and second stations.\\nMake sure your needle goes outside the second station, inside the first station, and then back outside the second station again. Once you’ve finished this step, your thread should be facing away from the crease.\\n3-8. Pull your thread through the third station, cut it from the spool, and tie a knot.\\nEvery station should be threaded, and your book should now have thread both inside and outside of the crease. Tie the thread on the inside of the crease and pull firmly.\\nYou can tie whatever knot you’d like as long as it firmly keeps the sewing in place.\\n4. Single Sheet Binding\\n4-1. Reinforce the edge of each page and cover with clear tape.\\nRunning tape along the spine edge of each piece of paper you will be binding will help reduce the chances that your stitching will tear out. Place half of the tape on one side of each piece of paper, and fold it over to the other side. Repeat with every page.\\nIn single sheet binding, you don’t fold your pages like you do for other bookbinding methods, but this means that you run the risk of the stitching tearing out of your pages if they are not reinforced well enough.\\nYou can use thick cardstock or thick cardboard as your cover.\\n4-2. Make 3 marks on the edge of each page, evenly spaced apart.\\nMake your first mark ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine and ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) down from the top of the page. Put the last mark ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine and ⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) up from the bottom of the page. Your third mark will fall at the middle point between the other two, ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in from the spine. Make the marks against your ruler to make sure they’re straight. Repeat the process on the bottom of the stack of pages.\\nPerform this same process on the front and back covers as well.\\n4-3. Stack your sheets in groups of 4 and pierce the holes with an awl.\\nIf you don’t have an awl, you can also use a thick needle.\\nUse this same process to pierce holes in your front and back covers.\\n4-4. Multiply the cover area and the page count and cut 6 threads of that length.\\nMultiply the length and width of the top page or book cover (if you're using a cover) to get the area, and then take that number and multiply it by the number of pages in your book. This is the length in inches or centimeters your thread should be. Make sure you cut 6 individual pieces of thread.\\nIf you have 20 pages, and your area is 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) long, you will need 45 inches (110 cm) of thread for each thread.\\n4-5. Put your binding needle and thread through the first hole on the bottom page.\\nBring your thread around and tie a knot in the thread against itself using your binding needle. The knot should be on the side of the paper that faces “up,” not the edge.\\nOnce you’ve tied the knot, you can trim off the end and tuck it in for a cleaner look.\\n4-6. Thread the needle through the back cover's first hole.\\nPull the thread until it pulls the paper flush with the back cover’s edge, and then thread the needle under the first loop you made.\\nWhen threading the needle under the first loop you made, make sure you go under both threads, not through the loop.\\n4-7. Thread all holes with a new needle and thread, adding more pages as you go.\\nRepeat the threading and looping process with each subsequent page for each hole, until you've stitched the top cover. After you've stitched one hole, don't remove the needle, as you'll need it again when you stack a new page on. Use a new needle for each thread.\\nIf you want to give your book some whimsy, choose a different color thread for each binding hole, or keep all of the thread colors the same for a more uniform style.\\nFor a sturdier book, loop your needle and thread around the stitch below the page you’re currently working on, starting on the third page.\\n4-8. Tie the threads to secure them.\\nOnce you’ve threaded all the pages and covers, looped the thread, and hooked the needle under the first loop, thread the needle under the previous stitch, then thread the needle back inside the book to tie a knot. Put the needle through the inside stitch, leaving a small loop in the thread you've just wound through the stitch, and then tie a knot by putting the needle through the loop and pulling it taut.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Do you want to start a scrapbook, nature journal, or diary?

How to Bind a Quilt
|
1. Make the Binding
1-1. Choose a binding fabric.
Your quilt’s binding can be designed to make a bold statement or blend in with the pattern. Envision the way you want your finished quilt to look as you make your fabric choice.
Fabric with a crosswise grain, as opposed to a lengthwise grain, is a sturdier choice for binding. Because of the direction of the grain, a split in one area won’t run along the entire length of the binding. Instead, it will run crosswise and end at the seam where the binding joins the quilt.
Bias binding strips, with a grain that runs diagonally, are also good for sturdy binding. Again, a split in the fabric won’t travel as far since the grain doesn’t run the length of the fabric.
1-2. Take measurements.
The amount of fabric you’ll need to buy is determined by how large your quilt is and how much you want the binding to stand out.
Choose the width of your binding. If your quilt already has a built-in border, you may want thinner binding. If you’d like the binding to act as a border, you may want it to be wide. Keep in mind you’ll be cutting the fabric into strips that will then be folded in half.
Measure the four sides of your quilt to determine the length of its perimeter. You’ll need twelve to fifteen extra inches of binding material.
1-3. Cut the binding fabric into strips of your chosen width.
You may find a rotary cutter to be helpful for larger projects. Fabric scissors will also do the trick.
1-4. Sew the pieces together using the following method until you have a binding strip long enough to outline the perimeter of your quilt:
Lay two strips at a right angle with the ends overlapping, so that they form an inverted “L” shape. Pin the strips at the outer corner using a straight pin.
Stitch a diagonal line across where the two strips meet. Pull the top strip down so the two strips form a straight line. Trim away the extra fabric triangle on the outside of the seam, leaving ¼” seam allowance.
Continue attaching more strips in this fashion until you have one long strip.
When your binding strip is long enough, iron it straight and flat. Fold it in half lengthwise and iron it again to create a crease down the middle of the fabric.
2. Bind the Quilt
2-1. Prepare the quilt for binding.
After you have finished quilting, use your sewing machine to stitch in a straight line 1/8” from from the edge of the quilt around its entire perimeter. This will ensure that the layers of the quilt stay flat and in place during the binding process.
When you’re finished stitching, trim any rough edges or excess batting from the perimeter of the quilt to make sure it is neat and even.
2-2. Begin sewing the binding.
Line up the raw edges of the binding strip with the raw edge of the quilt. The folded part of the binding strip should be on the inside of the quilt top. Begin sewing about three inches from the corner, leaving an unsewn “tail” that will be tucked into the binding later.
Choose the seam allowance that fits the look of your quilt. The most common seam allowance is ¼”.
Use the walking foot on your sewing machine to prevent the fabric from bunching up.
Sew along the first side of the quilt until you’ve reached the same distance from the corner as your seam allowance. If you’re using a ¼” seam allowance, stop stitching ¼” from the corner.
Backstitch a few centimeters and cut the threads.
2-3. Bind the first corner.
Begin by folding the long tail of the binding up, so that it runs parallel to the next side of the quilt you’re going to bind. The lower edge of the strip will form a 45-degree angle. Keeping that folded angle in place, fold the tail down so that its raw edge is aligned with the raw edge of the next side of the quilt. This is called mitering a corner. Begin sewing a new line at a right angle to where the first stitch ended. Backstitch over the corner to make sure it stays firmly in place.
2-4. Sew all the edges and corners.
Continue sewing the binding along the edge of the quilt, using the same seam allowance you used on the previous edge. As you approach each corner, stop stitching the same distance from the edge as your seam allowance. Miter the corner and continue sewing along the last edge.
2-5. Finish sewing the first side.
When you reach the place where you began binding the quilt, trim the tail, leaving just enough fabric to overlap the starting place by about four inches. Fold the fabric under at a diagonal and tuck the other tail at the beginning of the binding underneath. Continue stitching along the edge of the quilt and sew over your original seam by an inch or so. Backstitch and trim your thread.
2-6. Turn the quilt over and bind the other side.
Flip the quilt and fold the binding strip to the same measurement as your seam allowance. If you used a ¼” seam allowance, fold the binding strip over the edge ¼”. Use your walking foot to begin stitching along the edge of the quilt.
Guide your quilt carefully and stitch slowly. Adjust the quilt as needed to ensure your seam is straight.
When you reach the corner, miter it. Fold the end of the binding strip under at a 45-degree angle at the corner, then laying it flat along the next edge. Carefully pivot the quilt in the sewing machine at the corner and continue stitching the next edge of the quilt. Sew each edge and corner of the quilt in this manner.
Continue stitching about an inch over the place where you started. Backstitch, then trim the thread.
Tips
The last step of binding may be done by hand. Instead of using your sewing machine to complete the binding on the back side of your quilt, use a whipstitch to finish it off.
Get creative with your binding. You can use many different fabrics if you want to create a “crazy quilt” effect.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Make the Binding\\n1-1. Choose a binding fabric.\\nYour quilt’s binding can be designed to make a bold statement or blend in with the pattern. Envision the way you want your finished quilt to look as you make your fabric choice.\\nFabric with a crosswise grain, as opposed to a lengthwise grain, is a sturdier choice for binding. Because of the direction of the grain, a split in one area won’t run along the entire length of the binding. Instead, it will run crosswise and end at the seam where the binding joins the quilt.\\nBias binding strips, with a grain that runs diagonally, are also good for sturdy binding. Again, a split in the fabric won’t travel as far since the grain doesn’t run the length of the fabric.\\n1-2. Take measurements.\\nThe amount of fabric you’ll need to buy is determined by how large your quilt is and how much you want the binding to stand out.\\nChoose the width of your binding. If your quilt already has a built-in border, you may want thinner binding. If you’d like the binding to act as a border, you may want it to be wide. Keep in mind you’ll be cutting the fabric into strips that will then be folded in half.\\nMeasure the four sides of your quilt to determine the length of its perimeter. You’ll need twelve to fifteen extra inches of binding material.\\n1-3. Cut the binding fabric into strips of your chosen width.\\nYou may find a rotary cutter to be helpful for larger projects. Fabric scissors will also do the trick.\\n1-4. Sew the pieces together using the following method until you have a binding strip long enough to outline the perimeter of your quilt:\\nLay two strips at a right angle with the ends overlapping, so that they form an inverted “L” shape. Pin the strips at the outer corner using a straight pin.\\nStitch a diagonal line across where the two strips meet. Pull the top strip down so the two strips form a straight line. Trim away the extra fabric triangle on the outside of the seam, leaving ¼” seam allowance.\\nContinue attaching more strips in this fashion until you have one long strip.\\nWhen your binding strip is long enough, iron it straight and flat. Fold it in half lengthwise and iron it again to create a crease down the middle of the fabric.\\n2. Bind the Quilt\\n2-1. Prepare the quilt for binding.\\nAfter you have finished quilting, use your sewing machine to stitch in a straight line 1/8” from from the edge of the quilt around its entire perimeter. This will ensure that the layers of the quilt stay flat and in place during the binding process.\\nWhen you’re finished stitching, trim any rough edges or excess batting from the perimeter of the quilt to make sure it is neat and even.\\n2-2. Begin sewing the binding.\\nLine up the raw edges of the binding strip with the raw edge of the quilt. The folded part of the binding strip should be on the inside of the quilt top. Begin sewing about three inches from the corner, leaving an unsewn “tail” that will be tucked into the binding later.\\nChoose the seam allowance that fits the look of your quilt. The most common seam allowance is ¼”.\\nUse the walking foot on your sewing machine to prevent the fabric from bunching up.\\nSew along the first side of the quilt until you’ve reached the same distance from the corner as your seam allowance. If you’re using a ¼” seam allowance, stop stitching ¼” from the corner.\\nBackstitch a few centimeters and cut the threads.\\n2-3. Bind the first corner.\\nBegin by folding the long tail of the binding up, so that it runs parallel to the next side of the quilt you’re going to bind. The lower edge of the strip will form a 45-degree angle. Keeping that folded angle in place, fold the tail down so that its raw edge is aligned with the raw edge of the next side of the quilt. This is called mitering a corner. Begin sewing a new line at a right angle to where the first stitch ended. Backstitch over the corner to make sure it stays firmly in place.\\n2-4. Sew all the edges and corners.\\nContinue sewing the binding along the edge of the quilt, using the same seam allowance you used on the previous edge. As you approach each corner, stop stitching the same distance from the edge as your seam allowance. Miter the corner and continue sewing along the last edge.\\n2-5. Finish sewing the first side.\\nWhen you reach the place where you began binding the quilt, trim the tail, leaving just enough fabric to overlap the starting place by about four inches. Fold the fabric under at a diagonal and tuck the other tail at the beginning of the binding underneath. Continue stitching along the edge of the quilt and sew over your original seam by an inch or so. Backstitch and trim your thread.\\n2-6.

How to Binge Watch
|
1. Getting Set Up
1-1. Clear your schedule.
If you plan on binge watching a show, you need to make sure you don’t have any other pressing priorities for the rest of the day. You might tell yourself that you’ll still make it to dinner with your friends at 8, but when you’re 5 episodes deep into Game of Thrones and it’s time to get ready, you’ll wish you had cancelled.
The amount of time you’ll need depends on how long the show is. Some single-season shows can be finished in just a couple of hours, but longer-running shows could take multiple binging sessions over several weeks.
1-2. Find a comfy spot.
You’re going to be hanging out here for awhile, so pick somewhere that will allow you to shift your position to keep you comfortable. Try binge-watching on your couch or in a reclining chair. If possible, watch on an actual TV instead of on a computer or mobile device to reduce eye strain.
As tempting as it may be to binge every season of Orange is the New Black while you’re sitting in your bed, watching TV in bed can lead to insomnia. The blue light from screens mimics that of sunlight, tricking your brain into feeling more awake.
1-3. Stock up on snacks.
You’ll need to stay hydrated and nourished through your binge-watching session, so make sure your fridge is stocked with some of your faves. To avoid racking up extra calories, keep healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, and low-fat popcorn on hand.
Portion out less healthy snacks like chips into plastic bags beforehand so you don’t eat too much at one time.
1-4. Use a binge-watching session as an opportunity to drink more water.
Fill a large thermos with ice water and keep it handy, then refill it when you take breaks. Toss in a couple of lemon slices or a few berries to give your water a natural flavor.
2. Choosing Your Show
2-1. Sign up for a free trial of a streaming service if you don't have one.
Services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Go often offer a free 30-day trial to let you try them before you sign up. This can be a great way to binge watch a show without having to pay for it.
You usually have to provide a credit card number to get a free trial. Just be sure to cancel when your trial is up to avoid having any charges put on your card.
2-2. Watch with a friend who has an account if you don't have one.
If you don't want to sign up for a free trial, ask a friend with a streaming service to binge watch with you. Watching a show is usually more fun with someone else, anyway.
Make sure your friend hasn't seen the show so that they don't spoil it for you, unless your friend can watch the show again without spoiling it. It is also fun to have a group binge watching together to make sure you don't fall asleep or miss anything.
2-3. Check your local cable listings for marathons of shows.
Cable channels will often air several episodes of a show, especially right before a new season of that show airs. If you have a DVR, set it up to record so you can watch the show at your leisure. If you don't, just plan to binge watch when it airs!
2-4. Purchase a show on DVD or buy a digital copy.
If you buy a show, you can watch it as many times as you want! You can either buy the DVD or Blu-ray version, or you can purchase it digitally through a service like iTunes.
2-5. Pick the show you’re going to watch.
If you’re binge-watching a show on DVD, your choice is easy. However, if you’re using a streaming service, it can be hard to narrow down your choices. Ask your friends for recommendations, check out binge-watching guides online, or reach out to ask your social media contacts what they’re watching.
3. Staying Comfortable
3-1. Order food delivery so you don’t have to cook.
Part of the appeal of binge-watching is that it can give you a chance to completely relax — a luxury most of us don’t get to enjoy often. Make the most of it by having your food delivered during your binge-watching session.
If you’ve been snacking on healthy treats, go ahead and splurge a little with Chinese take-out or a pizza. Other foods include ramen noodles, Totinos pizza rolls, and maybe some sushi.
Check to see if there’s a meal delivery service like Waitr or Uber Eats in your area to have a dish from your favorite local spot delivered right to your door!
3-2. Find ways to stay active while you’re watching.
Binge watching TV can slow your metabolism, which can lead to a whole host of health problems. Fight this by staying active while you watch your show. Get up and stretch between episodes, hit pause after a great scene, or do chores like folding laundry or washing dishes.
Even just a 1-minute workout can help combat some of the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Jog in place, do a quick series of jumping jacks, or do as many pushups as you can in 1 minute between episodes.
3-3. Turn off the screen 30 minutes before bed.
If you want to be sure you get a good night’s sleep, you have to give your brain time to unwind. Give yourself at least half an hour post-binge before you try to go to bed.

What's the Difference Between Root Beer and Birch Beer?
|
1. Flavor Similarities and Differences
1-1. Birch beer is more natural and bitter.
Because birch beer is made from more natural ingredients than root beer, its flavor is less syrupy and more complex. Birch beer drinkers can expect a clean, crisp freshness with each sip. Also, birch beer has a minty, herbal quality similar to the tree it comes from.
1-2. Root beer has more flavor variety.
Because root beer doesn’t have to adhere to the same natural ingredients as birch beer, it can frontload a variety of different flavors. That’s why, in several grocery stores and restaurants, there are different versions of root beer, like vanilla and cherry. Birch beer, on the other hand, never contains other flavors.
1-3. Both sodas may taste like birch nowadays.
Because the FDA banned the production of sassafras for its carcinogenic effects, root beer is now made with artificial flavoring. Most root beers also often contain a mixture of many plants and sweeteners, like ginger, honey, and even birch. Because most root beer now also contains birch, it can be tough to tell these two apart if you don’t drink both often.
2. How Each Soda Is Made
2-1. Birch beer is made from birch while root beer is made from sassafras.
The primary difference between root and birch beer is their key ingredient. Birch beer is made from the sap and bark of birch trees, while root beer is made using the flavors of the sassafras vine and root. That’s why root beer’s alternative name is “sarsaparilla.”
2-2. Root beer contains roots, while birch beer doesn’t.
As its name suggests, root beer (though no longer made directly from sassafras) contains extracts from all kinds of different roots: ginger, cinnamon, dandelion, and cloves. Birch beer, on the other hand, is made from oil distilled from the twigs and sap of the birch tree; no roots are used in its production.
2-3. Birch beer often contains pollen, which may cause allergies.
Because birch beer contains birch sap and birch sap contains pollen, regular consumption of birch beer can cause allergic reactions with symptoms like a runny nose, an itchy throat, or a skin rash. A few sips shouldn’t do too much, but be careful if you’re prone to allergies during pollen season.
2-4. Both drinks are mass-produced.
While the natural ingredients of birch beer are used in its brewing process, both root beer and birch beer are usually produced, packaged, and fermented in large-scale factories.
3. Popularity of Each Soda
Birch beer is only regionally popular in New England.
Because root beer is made from artificial sugars and easily-available roots, it can be made and sold pretty much anywhere. Birch beer, however, needs to be made in areas with plenty of birch trees, hence why it originated in the Northeastern United States. In addition, since birch beer has a less sweet, more divisive taste, it doesn’t have the same requests for mass production that root beer does. That being said, most New Englanders, particularly those in Pennsylvania, love the drink.
4. History
4-1. Both beers originated around the 19th century.
While there is record of early American settlers making birch beer at home in the 1700s and indigenous peoples making root beer long before that, both drinks as we know them today came about in the same 20-year span of each other (root beer in 1860 and birch beer in 1876). Both drinks were initially sold as herbal teas, but changed their name to “beer” to appeal to more customers.
4-2. Root beer initially had a little alcohol.
The original sarsaparillas contained a very small alcohol content (likely for relaxation and medicinal reasons), but were quickly adapted to soft drink form, especially when Barq’s popularized root beer in the early twentieth century. Birch beer has never contained alcohol.
4-3. Birch beer became popular in the Prohibition era.
During the 1920s when the U.S. government put a ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages, bars looked for alternative drinks to stay in business. Birch beer, as we know it, became one of those popular alternatives.
5. Appearance
Root beer is brown, while birch beer can be many different colors.
Most manufacturers use soda and dyes to color their root beer, which is why it’s pretty much always brown. Birch beer, since it isn’t colored artificially, may be red, brown, or clear depending on the tree.
6. Other Uses
Root beer can be used in cocktails and sauces.
Because root beer’s taste isn’t as complicated or specific, it’s much more versatile than birch beer when it comes to flavoring other treats. Root beer is regularly used in cocktails like the Rocky Mountain and the Storm Trooper. Plus, people love making alcoholic root beer floats. Its sweet spiciness also makes for a great addition to barbecue sauces.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Flavor Similarities and Differences\\n1-1. Birch beer is more natural and bitter.\\nBecause birch beer is made from more natural ingredients than root beer, its flavor is less syrupy and more complex. Birch beer drinkers can expect a clean, crisp freshness with each sip. Also, birch beer has a minty, herbal quality similar to the tree it comes from.\\n1-2. Root beer has more flavor variety.\\nBecause root beer doesn’t have to adhere to the same natural ingredients as birch beer, it can frontload a variety of different flavors. That’s why, in several grocery stores and restaurants, there are different versions of root beer, like vanilla and cherry. Birch beer, on the other hand, never contains other flavors.\\n1-3. Both sodas may taste like birch nowadays.\\nBecause the FDA banned the production of sassafras for its carcinogenic effects, root beer is now made with artificial flavoring. Most root beers also often contain a mixture of many plants and sweeteners, like ginger, honey, and even birch. Because most root beer now also contains birch, it can be tough to tell these two apart if you don’t drink both often.\\n2. How Each Soda Is Made\\n2-1. Birch beer is made from birch while root beer is made from sassafras.\\nThe primary difference between root and birch beer is their key ingredient. Birch beer is made from the sap and bark of birch trees, while root beer is made using the flavors of the sassafras vine and root. That’s why root beer’s alternative name is “sarsaparilla.”\\n2-2. Root beer contains roots, while birch beer doesn’t.\\nAs its name suggests, root beer (though no longer made directly from sassafras) contains extracts from all kinds of different roots: ginger, cinnamon, dandelion, and cloves. Birch beer, on the other hand, is made from oil distilled from the twigs and sap of the birch tree; no roots are used in its production.\\n2-3. Birch beer often contains pollen, which may cause allergies.\\nBecause birch beer contains birch sap and birch sap contains pollen, regular consumption of birch beer can cause allergic reactions with symptoms like a runny nose, an itchy throat, or a skin rash. A few sips shouldn’t do too much, but be careful if you’re prone to allergies during pollen season.\\n2-4. Both drinks are mass-produced.\\nWhile the natural ingredients of birch beer are used in its brewing process, both root beer and birch beer are usually produced, packaged, and fermented in large-scale factories.\\n3. Popularity of Each Soda\\nBirch beer is only regionally popular in New England.\\nBecause root beer is made from artificial sugars and easily-available roots, it can be made and sold pretty much anywhere. Birch beer, however, needs to be made in areas with plenty of birch trees, hence why it originated in the Northeastern United States. In addition, since birch beer has a less sweet, more divisive taste, it doesn’t have the same requests for mass production that root beer does. That being said, most New Englanders, particularly those in Pennsylvania, love the drink.\\n4. History\\n4-1.

How to Bird Watch
|
1. Gathering Equipment
1-1. Look at binoculars you have on hand.
You don’t need fancy birdwatching equipment to start watching birds. Anything that will help you see far away will work in the beginning. You very well may decide to buy binoculars especially for birding, but you can use opera glasses, telescopes or anything you have on hand. Ask a friend, who may have binoculars, if you can borrow them.
1-2. Compare binoculars for fit and feel.
If you decide to buy, the way binoculars fit on your face and feel in your hands is important. Go to a sporting goods store or find a nature center that may have different pairs to try. Find a lightweight pair that will be easy to carry and hold steady while you spot birds.
1-3. Look at the magnification and lens size.
Binoculars will have two numbers that are listed like 8x29, 7x50, 10x40, or some other combination. The first is how many times they magnify an image and the second is the lens size, or how much light they bring in. Pick a lens on the low end, because a high one captures a lot of movement too and can be too bulky for watching birds in a forest or field.
Pick a magnification of 7 to 8 times and a lens number between 30 and 40 millimeters for the most versatility. 7x35 and 8x42 are both good options for birdwatching.
1-4. Consider the binocular strap.
When you go into the field, you will be wearing binoculars on your neck for hours at a time, so make sure the strap is wide and comfortable. Use a harness that distributes weight to the shoulders and back, if you have a heavier pair.
1-5. Use a spotting scope.
A scope will offer stability, since it’s used on a monopod, and has higher magnification abilities. If you get serious about birding, invest in a scope to spot birds from greater distances, like across lakes or fields. Look for one with at least one lens that is fully coated with magnesium fluoride. This will give you the sharpest views of feathers and colors. It will also capture movement easier than binoculars.
1-6. Get a field guide.
A regional field guide can help you narrow down what birds to look for locally. You can also download bird identification apps for your phone. Learn about different families of birds, like swallows, warblers, and herons. Get into the habit of studying their habits, calls, and field marks. Other than binoculars, your field guide will be your go-to for bird watching, because it will have all the information you need to identify different species.
1-7. Find a good camera.
Photographs will chronicle what birds you spot and - if you need the help - identify them later on. Find a quality camera to take bird pictures, since they are small and do not stay still. Look for a DSLR one with a lens attachment of at least 300 mm. If you cannot swallow the cost of a higher-end DSLR, find a camera with a super-zoom lens. Place it on a monopod, because images can get shaky the more you zoom in.
1-8. Bring microphones to record songs.
Learning bird songs and calls are a helpful way to identify them. You may want to record their sounds while you're out spotting. Take either a parabolic microphone or a shotgun mic that you can attach to your camera. Use your camera to record. Regular microphones will be ineffective at recording soft or distant bird sounds and will capture too much background noise.
2. Preparing to Spot
2-1. Find a birding group.
What better way is there to learn about birding, than from other birders? Look at audubon.org or check with your local nature conservatory to find bird watching groups you can join. Also consider informal groups, like those you'd find through Meetup. The more sets of eyes and ears there are, the more birds you'll find, especially if you go with bird watchers who are more experienced than you are.
2-2. Dress appropriately.
Going out into the field means you’re going into a lot of the same areas you’d be in if you were hiking. Stick with the same type of breathable, loose clothes and sturdy boots you’d wear for long treks through forests or fields.
Wear waterproof boots, so you’ll be prepared if you encounter puddles or mud.
Wear dark, neutral colors, like brown and gray, so you don’t frighten birds away.
Bright or white colors enhance movement around them.
2-3. Be quiet.
Loud talking or laughing can cause birds to flee before you even get close. Put your phone on silent, and speak softly or use hand signals and gestures to communicate with a group. Don’t be tempted to yell “Look over here!,” no matter how excited you get by spotting a rare bird.
A whisper can often communicate the same thing.
Avoid flash and camera noises.
2-4. Go at the right time.
Depending on where you’re located and what birds you’re trying to spot, the time of day you venture out can greatly impact successful birding. A lot of birds wake in the early morning hours when the sun first rises because they’ve been nesting all night and want breakfast. Others are not as dependent on the sun, especially if it’s summertime and the days are longer.
Songbirds are normally spotted two hours after sunrise and right before sunset.
Hawks and eagles are best seen when the sun first rises.
Spot ducks any time of day.
Shorebirds are out when ocean tides change.
2-5. Lure birds to you.
If you don’t want to join a birding group or take long walks through potentially thorny forests, you can enjoy bird watching from your own backyard. Use bird feeders filled with food for species you’d like to see. Sit by a window and enjoy the scenery.
Start with simple black oil sunflower seeds and diversify with things like mealworms and fruit.
Place a birdbath or fountain in your yard. Birds love shallow or running water.
3. Identifying Birds
3-1. Find a bird with your own eyes first.
No matter what type of binoculars you use, they will lessen your field of vision. Avoid missing birds by spotting them with your own eyes first. Find birds around trees and overhead in fields, and then use your binoculars to have a closer look.
3-2. Use your field guide.
Your field guide is going to be increasingly important as you fine-tune your birding skills and encounter similar-looking birds. Compare markings and colors of birds with your guide. Learn about bird songs and calls as well. Other things to consider include:
The shape and size of the bird, including whether it’s big, small, round or oval.
What the bird is doing. Is it searching for insects, circling overhead or soaring?
Places where field markings are normally, like wing bars or the tail feathers.
3-3. Don’t use colors alone.
Focusing on bird colors can lead to misidentification. Light and shadow can make colors appear different than what they really are. A bright red feather can look brown in certain light. Focus instead on shape, size, markings, posture, behavior, etc.
3-4. Listen to their songs.
Sometimes the only way you can identify a bird is by their songs and calls because they are good at hiding. Listen to bird chirps to determine where they may be coming from. Keep in mind what birds you may see on an outing and look up their calls beforehand.
Record sounds with a parabolic or shotgun microphone.
3-5. Look at the surrounding environment.
You wouldn’t expect to see a heron in the desert. Moreover, you should expect to see different birds in a forest than you would see in the city park. There will also be different birds by oceans than by lakes. Always consider the known habitat of species you're looking for.
3-6. Take a picture.
Use a camera, without a flash or clicks to prevent frightening birds, to look back on after an outing. This way, you can record what you’ve spotted, but also help identify birds later on, when you're not in the field. With time, you’ll become an expert and may only need the camera to record all the interesting birds you encounter.
Tips
In temperate zones, the best time to go birding is in the spring and fall when birds are migrating.
Once you become more experienced, consider taking part in a bird census to help scientists learn more about bird populations and migration.
Use a monopod with a heavier pair of binoculars, such as 10x50. You will get a more stable view and it lets you watch birds for a longer period of time.
Warnings
Respect private property.
Don't stress the birds with recordings or artificial lighting.
Don't get too close to nests, nesting colonies, roosts, display areas and important feeding sites; your presence may interfere with birds' activities.
Avoid advertising the presence of a rare bird, if it may result in habitat disturbance.
Some birds may attack you, if you get too close.

How to Bird Whistle
|
1. Whistling with the Cupped Hand Technique
1-1. Overlap your hands with your palms facing upwards.
The left edge of your right hand should rest across the base of your fingers on your left hand. This position should roughly form the shape of an upside down ‘L.’
If you are left handed and this initial positioning feels awkward or uncomfortable, then adjust your hand positioning accordingly and invert “right” and “left” instructions described for this process.
1-2. Join the sides and heels of your hands to form a cup.
You might have to move your right hand downwards slightly to get the alignment correct, but you should not have to lift it.
1-3. Curl your fingers on both hands to close the opening of the cup.
If done properly, your thumbs will align in front of the opening of the cup and form a chamber or cave shape. Your hands should now be airtight except for the small almond-shaped opening between your thumbs.
When you curl the fingers on your right hand, they will slightly wrap around the outside of your left thumb. This might cause your right thumb to rest lower than the left, so you might have to lower your left thumb to make them level.
1-4. Bend the tops of your thumbs.
This is the area where you will be placing your lips to create the bird whistle. If you have your thumbs flat, you will have a harder time producing a sound.
1-5. Inhale deeply and rest your lips over your thumb knuckles.
It is a common mistake to place your lips over the almond-shaped opening. Do not cover the space between your thumbs because the air needs to travel back out of that space to create the sound.
1-6. Blow into the opening and only move the fingers on your right hand.
The air should travel down into the hollow, and you should be able to hear a deep “coo” or “hoo” sound that resembles the call of a dove or an owl.
If you only hear air passing through your hands and no whistle, double-check to make sure your hands are sealed. It might take some practice to master this technique, so don’t get discouraged.
You can change the pitch of the whistle by adjusting the hollowed area of your hands. Making the area smaller will create high-pitched whistles, and making the area larger will create low-pitched whistles.
2. Interlocking Your Hands
2-1. Interlock the fingers of your right and left hands.
The webbing between your fingers should be completely sealed, and your fingers should rest comfortably in the valleys between your knuckles.
2-2. Press together the heels and sides of your hands to form a pocket.
You might need to loosen or tighten your hands to get an airtight pocket.
2-3. Close your thumbs over the opening of the pocket.
Your thumbs should be parallel to each other, and there should be a small almond-shaped opening between them.
2-4. Pucker your lips and inhale.
You are going to need a lot of air to create a sound, so make sure you take a deep breath.
2-5. Place your lips over your thumb knuckles.
If your lips are not properly over the knuckles of your thumbs, then you will not be able to create the sound.
2-6. Blow into the opening, and wiggle the fingers on your left or right hand.
The air should travel downwards into the hollow. If done correctly, you should hear a high or moderately pitched bird call.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t create a sound on your first couple of tries. This technique can take a lot of practice to master.
You can create a fluttering bird call by rapidly opening and closing your fingers, or by changing the size of the hole between your thumbs.
3. Creating a High-Pitched Whistle Using Grass Blades
3-1. Place a blade of grass between your thumbs.
The blade of grass should be vertical and stretched tight between the small opening created by your parallel thumbs.
Thicker or shorter blades of grass will create low-pitched noises, and thinner or longer blades of grass will create high-pitched noises.
3-2. Keep your thumbs pressed together and spread your fingers.
The backs of your hands should be facing you, and should roughly resemble the shape of a bird with outstretched wings.
3-3. Press your lips to your thumbs and blow against the blade of grass.
If done correctly, you should hear a high-pitched whistle or squeaking sound.
Blowing in bursts will create a “fa-fa-fa” sound, and blowing continuously will create a warbled effect.
Tips
If you are having problems bird whistling, make sure there are no gaps in your hands for air to escape. Try adjusting your hands and releasing the tension from your fingers to get a better seal.[14]
X
Research source
Keep your hands steady while exhaling. Any jostling movements can stop the bird whistle from sounding. So, make sure to only move your fingers. You can start by just moving your fingertips to get a feel for the needed motion, and then lift more fully once you get more comfortable.

Thoughtful and Unique Birthday Presents for Mom
|
1. Scented Candle
Give Mom a candle to add a little lift to her day.
A fragrant candle will help her relax after a long day. Yankee Candle and Bath & Body Works are tried and true candle-makers, but there are likely plenty of unique local options your mom will love as well!
Get her a scented candle that smells like her favorite florals, opt for a fresh scent like clean linen, or go for something musky and earthy.
Scented wax melts are also a popular alternative to candles, and they come in a variety of great-smelling fragrances.
2. Family Portrait
Give Mom a photo of her kids she can look at whenever she wants.
A family photo, a photo of just the kids, or a photo of you and your mom together is a great birthday gift idea. Either take a photo Mom loves and get it framed, or treat Mom to a photo shoot with you and have a fun day out together.
3. Fresh Flowers
Celebrate Mom with a vase full of fragrant flowers.
Make her feel special with a fresh bouquet of her favorite blooms. Flowers are a great way to liven up a party—and keep the place livened up even after the party is over.
Roses, lilies, and tulips are classic flowers for saying "I love you, Mom."
4. Cookware
If your mom likes to cook, give her a gift to celebrate her passion.
A decorative platter to display her famous home-baked cookies on, a new Bundt pan, or a classic Pyrex casserole dish will be appreciated by the mom who bakes. If you get a pan or a dish, go the extra mile and hide a surprise gift inside the dish, like a cookbook or an oven mitt—or cupcakes you baked yourself. (Hey, Mom doesn’t have to do all the cooking.)
Go practical and update cookware she hasn't gotten around to replacing yet, or go funky and original with something like novelty chocolate molds.
5. Wine Glasses
Get the party started with elegant wine glasses.
At the end of a long day, there’s probably nothing Mom needs more than a glass of red. Show your appreciation for all her hard work with some classy crystal, or go the humorous route and buy her a glass with a funny phrase on it, like “Mom, since I could be the reason you drink, the least I could do is give you this glass.”
If you’re of age, consider throwing in a bottle of her favorite vino as well!
6. Tumbler
Is Mom more of a coffee drinker? A tumbler is perfect.
Get her a tumblr to carry her hot and cold drinks, from iced coffee to hot tea. You can get her a mom-themed tumbler with a cute floral design—or get one that says, “Mom: no matter how hard life gets, at least you don’t have ugly children.” Either way.
7. Ring Dish
If Mom wears jewelry, she’ll need an attractive dish to store it in.
She can keep her rings or necklaces safe while she showers or sleeps, or, if she’s not much of a jewelry wearer, she can keep the dish by the door and store her keys there for safekeeping.
You can buy beautiful ring dishes or get crafty and make one yourself out of ceramic.
8. Potted Plant
Brighten up Mom’s living space with some beautiful foliage.
While a bouquet of fresh flowers might be pretty for a week, an indoor herb garden or a Meyer lemon tree will keep Mom’s home lively and green for a long time—and if you go the herb garden route, expect some delicious additions to dinner now and then!
If Mom doesn't have a green thumb, there are great plastic plant options, as well!
Peace lilies, ferns, and pothos are great plants for a busy mom: they're lovely, and they're also fast-growing and low-maintenance. (But avoid peace lilies if Mom's got pets!)
Orchids can be a bit of a challenge to take care of, but their beauty is worth it!
9. Cutting Board
If Mom likes to cook, she’ll appreciate a cutting board.
You can go traditional and get her a handsome bamboo cutting board, or get a decorative cutting board she can hang on her wall, like a mom-themed cutting board or a cutting board shaped like your state.
Is Mom a cheese-lover? Consider a new cheeseboard for her birthday. And don't forget to supplement it with fancy cheeses and fruit!
10. Chocolate
Can’t go wrong with a little cacao!
Treat Mom to the good stuff—get her a bar of quality chocolate or a box of tasty truffles. Whether she’s a checkout aisle Snickers-buyer or doesn’t usually indulge much, for her birthday, make sure you get her something out of the ordinary—something she wouldn’t ordinarily buy for herself.
Consider chocolate-covered strawberries, pretzels, or peanuts, artisanal hot cocoa powder, or just a classic box of assorted chocolates.
11. Gourmet Coffee
She deserves exceptional coffee today.
If your mom's a coffee drinker, she probably starts her day with a cup of joe. For her birthday, get her something above and beyond her everyday blend—something she wouldn’t normally get for herself. Maybe get a pretty coffee mug to go with—and a French press or a pourover! Go nuts!
If she likes bold, rich, chocolatey flavors, go for a dark roast. If Mom prefers a lighter, even fruitier flavor profile, opt for a light roast coffee.
12. Fancy Tea
Splurge on some quality loose leaf for mama's big day.
If your mom is more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, tea makes a great birthday present. Refill her favorite blend, or get her a unique flavor of tea that you think she'd enjoy but probably wouldn’t buy for herself. She’ll think of you every time she takes a sip of her birthday brew, whether it’s traditional soothing jasmine or hairy crab oolong.
If you go the loose leaf route and Mom usually drinks from tea bags, be sure to pair your tea with a strainer.
13. Tea Kettle
Loose leaf tea is incomplete without a kettle.
For years to come, she'll hear the whistle of that tea kettle and remember her loving daughter and that oh-so-special birthday.
Opt for floral and fun or monocolor. Or go electric for both convenience and style!
If your mom already has a kettle, why not turn her birthday celebration into a tea party with an elegant ceramic teapot or even a full tea set?
14. Foot Massager
Help Mom feel great every day, not just on her birthday.
A foot massager is the perfect way to accomplish that. Whether a spa foot bath or a heated shiatsu foot massager, you can’t really go wrong with this gift.
Supplement this gift with body oils and lotions.
Don't feel the need to limit yourself to foot massagers: Mom would surely love a massage gun to relax her shoulder and back muscles after a long day!
15. Wall Art
Give her a print to remind her of you.
Whether she likes prints of the classics like Van Gogh or Klimt or contemporary prints of flowers or skyscrapers, a print of her favorite type of art is a great way to say “Happy birthday, Mom.” Better yet, paint your own masterpiece for her.
Be sure to display her gift in a nice frame!
16. Coffee Mug
With a personalized coffee mug, she’ll start every morning thinking of you!
You can get personalized mother-daughter coffee mugs created especially for your mom, or buy her a mug or teacup decorated in an elegant design. A personalized mug could have a photo of the two of you on it or simply a letter to her from you, telling her how much she means to you.
17. Pajamas
Give her something to keep cozy and relaxed in after the party is over.
What's more relaxing than a new pajama set? Whether warm flannel for those cold nights or light, soothing silk, your mother will appreciate a brand new set of luxurious PJs.
Give her a cozy robe to go with her new PJs! She’ll love the warmth of a thick terry cloth bathrobe or the gentleness of a smooth silky kimono covered in flowers.
18. Tote Bag
Give her a gift she can show off: a beautiful bag.
You can get gorgeous tote bags at many stores, or make your own customized bag. Add a family photo or her favorite quote to give this gift a personal and thoughtful touch.
And be sure to fill the bag with extra goodies, like candy and flowers!
19. Mother-Daughter Necklace
Celebrate your bond with jewelry.
Every time she looks down at her pendant, she’ll be reminded of her daughter. Check out Loveable for beautiful mother-daughter jewelry.
Also consider an elegant locket with a photo of the two of you in it or matching mother-daughter necklaces for you both to wear.
20. Essential Oils
Make Mom’s house smell good with fragrant oils.
Popular scents include lavender, lemongrass, cinnamon, and vanilla. Your mom is sure to love the floral, fresh, or warm notes to these fragrances! A small collection of oils is the perfect way to celebrate Mom on her special day.
If Mom doesn't have a reed diffuser yet, make sure to add that to your gift!
21. Kindle
If Mom’s bookshelves are bursting, it’s time for an e-reader.
A Kindle is the gift that keeps on giving. Load it up with a few of Mom’s favorites or a couple books from her to-be-read list, and she can add to her digital library as she goes, saving major shelf space (and trees!).
22. Books
There’s nothing quite like a real book.
E-readers are great, but there’s something about holding Jane Eyre in your hands and smelling the pages. Get Mom a book you know she’s been meaning to read, or, if you want to splurge a little, buy her a special edition of one of her faves.
Not sure what to grab? Get her a gift card to her favorite bookstore.
23. Soap
Bath bombs, salts, seltzers—you can’t go wrong with soap.
At the end of a long day, everyone loves to unwind in a hot shower or bath. Show gratitude for everything your mom does by getting her high-quality face cream or a locally-made bar of lavender soap.
And be sure to add a loofah, and maybe some bath oil, too!
Consider adding luxurious face or body lotion to your gift bag for an added treat.

Either take a photo Mom loves and get it framed, or treat Mom to a photo shoot with you and have a fun day out together.\\n3. Fresh Flowers\\nCelebrate Mom with a vase full of fragrant flowers.\\nMake her feel special with a fresh bouquet of her favorite blooms. Flowers are a great way to liven up a party—and keep the place livened up even after the party is over.\\nRoses, lilies, and tulips are classic flowers for saying \\\"I love you, Mom.\\\"\\n4. Cookware\\nIf your mom likes to cook, give her a gift to celebrate her passion.\\nA decorative platter to display her famous home-baked cookies on, a new Bundt pan, or a classic Pyrex casserole dish will be appreciated by the mom who bakes. If you get a pan or a dish, go the extra mile and hide a surprise gift inside the dish, like a cookbook or an oven mitt—or cupcakes you baked yourself. (Hey, Mom doesn’t have to do all the cooking.)\\nGo practical and update cookware she hasn't gotten around to replacing yet, or go funky and original with something like novelty chocolate molds.\\n5. Wine Glasses\\nGet the party started with elegant wine glasses.\\nAt the end of a long day, there’s probably nothing Mom needs more than a glass of red. Show your appreciation for all her hard work with some classy crystal, or go the humorous route and buy her a glass with a funny phrase on it, like “Mom, since I could be the reason you drink, the least I could do is give you this glass.”\\nIf you’re of age, consider throwing in a bottle of her favorite vino as well!\\n6. Tumbler\\nIs Mom more of a coffee drinker? A tumbler is perfect.\\nGet her a tumblr to carry her hot and cold drinks, from iced coffee to hot tea. You can get her a mom-themed tumbler with a cute floral design—or get one that says, “Mom: no matter how hard life gets, at least you don’t have ugly children.” Either way.\\n7. Ring Dish\\nIf Mom wears jewelry, she’ll need an attractive dish to store it in.\\nShe can keep her rings or necklaces safe while she showers or sleeps, or, if she’s not much of a jewelry wearer, she can keep the dish by the door and store her keys there for safekeeping.\\nYou can buy beautiful ring dishes or get crafty and make one yourself out of ceramic.\\n8. Potted Plant\\nBrighten up Mom’s living space with some beautiful foliage.\\nWhile a bouquet of fresh flowers might be pretty for a week, an indoor herb garden or a Meyer lemon tree will keep Mom’s home lively and green for a long time—and if you go the herb garden route, expect some delicious additions to dinner now and then!\\nIf Mom doesn't have a green thumb, there are great plastic plant options, as well!\\nPeace lilies, ferns, and pothos are great plants for a busy mom: they're lovely, and they're also fast-growing and low-maintenance. (But avoid peace lilies if Mom's got pets!)\\nOrchids can be a bit of a challenge to take care of, but their beauty is worth it!\\n9. Cutting Board\\nIf Mom likes to cook, she’ll appreciate a cutting board.\\nYou can go traditional and get her a handsome bamboo cutting board, or get a decorative cutting board she can hang on her wall, like a mom-themed cutting board or a cutting board shaped like your state.\\nIs Mom a cheese-lover? Consider a new cheeseboard for her birthday. And don't forget to supplement it with fancy cheeses and fruit!\\n10. Chocolate\\nCan’t go wrong with a little cacao!\\nTreat Mom to the good stuff—get her a bar of quality chocolate or a box of tasty truffles. Whether she’s a checkout aisle Snickers-buyer or doesn’t usually indulge much, for her birthday, make sure you get her something out of the ordinary—something she wouldn’t ordinarily buy for herself.\\nConsider chocolate-covered strawberries, pretzels, or peanuts, artisanal hot cocoa powder, or just a classic box of assorted chocolates.\\n11. Gourmet Coffee\\nShe deserves exceptional coffee today.\\nIf your mom's a coffee drinker, she probably starts her day with a cup of joe. For her birthday, get her something above and beyond her everyday blend—something she wouldn’t normally get for herself. Maybe get a pretty coffee mug to go with—and a French press or a pourover! Go nuts!\\nIf she likes bold, rich, chocolatey flavors, go for a dark roast. If Mom prefers a lighter, even fruitier flavor profile, opt for a light roast coffee.\\n12. Fancy Tea\\nSplurge on some quality loose leaf for mama's big day.\\nIf your mom is more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker, tea makes a great birthday present. Refill her favorite blend, or get her a unique flavor of tea that you think she'd enjoy but probably wouldn’t buy for herself. She’ll think of you every time she takes a sip of her birthday brew, whether it’s traditional soothing jasmine or hairy crab oolong.\\nIf you go the loose leaf route and Mom usually drinks from tea bags, be sure to pair your tea with a strainer.\\n13. Tea Kettle\\nLoose leaf tea is incomplete without a kettle.\\nFor years to come, she'll hear the whistle of that tea kettle and remember her loving daughter and that oh-so-special birthday.\\nOpt for floral and fun or monocolor. Or go electric for both convenience and style!\\nIf your mom already has a kettle, why not turn her birthday celebration into a tea party with an elegant ceramic teapot or even a full tea set?\\n14. Foot Massager\\nHelp Mom feel great every day, not just on her birthday.\\nA foot massager is the perfect way to accomplish that. Whether a spa foot bath or a heated shiatsu foot massager, you can’t really go wrong with this gift.\\nSupplement this gift with body oils and lotions.\\nDon't feel the need to limit yourself to foot massagers: Mom would surely love a massage gun to relax her shoulder and back muscles after a long day!\\n15. Wall Art\\nGive her a print to remind her of you.\\nWhether she likes prints of the classics like Van Gogh or Klimt or contemporary prints of flowers or skyscrapers, a print of her favorite type of art is a great way to say “Happy birthday, Mom.” Better yet, paint your own masterpiece for her.\\nBe sure to display her gift in a nice frame!\\n16. Coffee Mug\\nWith a personalized coffee mug, she’ll start every morning thinking of you!\\nYou can get personalized mother-daughter coffee mugs created especially for your mom, or buy her a mug or teacup decorated in an elegant design. A personalized mug could have a photo of the two of you on it or simply a letter to her from you, telling her how much she means to you.\\n17. Pajamas\\nGive her something to keep cozy and relaxed in after the party is over.\\nWhat's more relaxing than a new pajama set? Whether warm flannel for those cold nights or light, soothing silk, your mother will appreciate a brand new set of luxurious PJs.\\nGive her a cozy robe to go with her new PJs! She’ll love the warmth of a thick terry cloth bathrobe or the gentleness of a smooth silky kimono covered in flowers.\\n18. Tote Bag\\nGive her a gift she can show off: a beautiful bag.\\nYou can get gorgeous tote bags at many stores, or make your own customized bag. Add a family photo or her favorite quote to give this gift a personal and thoughtful touch.\\nAnd be sure to fill the bag with extra goodies, like candy and flowers!\\n19. Mother-Daughter Necklace\\nCelebrate your bond with jewelry.\\nEvery time she looks down at her pendant, she’ll be reminded of her daughter. Check out Loveable for beautiful mother-daughter jewelry.\\nAlso consider an elegant locket with a photo of the two of you in it or matching mother-daughter necklaces for you both to wear.\\n20. Essential Oils\\nMake Mom’s house smell good with fragrant oils.\\nPopular scents include lavender, lemongrass, cinnamon, and vanilla. Your mom is sure to love the floral, fresh, or warm notes to these fragrances! A small collection of oils is the perfect way to celebrate Mom on her special day.\\nIf Mom doesn't have a reed diffuser yet, make sure to add that to your gift!\\n21. Kindle\\nIf Mom’s bookshelves are bursting, it’s time for an e-reader.\\nA Kindle is the gift that keeps on giving. Load it up with a few of Mom’s favorites or a couple books from her to-be-read list, and she can add to her digital library as she goes, saving major shelf space (and trees!).\\n22. Books\\nThere’s nothing quite like a real book.\\nE-readers are great, but there’s something about holding Jane Eyre in your hands and smelling the pages. Get Mom a book you know she’s been meaning to read, or, if you want to splurge a little, buy her a special edition of one of her faves.\\nNot sure what to grab? Get her a gift card to her favorite bookstore.\\n23. Soap\\nBath bombs, salts, seltzers—you can’t go wrong with soap.\\nAt the end of a long day, everyone loves to unwind in a hot shower or bath. Show gratitude for everything your mom does by getting her high-quality face cream or a locally-made bar of lavender soap.\\nAnd be sure to add a loofah, and maybe some bath oil, too!\\nConsider adding luxurious face or body lotion to your gift bag for an added treat.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"On Mom’s birthday, you want to show her how much you care for her and how much you appreciate everything she’s done for you.

How to Bisect a Line With a Compass and Straightedge
|
1. Preparing the Compass
1-1. Draw the line segment you need to bisect.
If the line segment is not already given, you will need to make it using a straightedge.
1-2. Choose an appropriately sized compass.
If you open the compass completely, and it spans one-half the length of the line or less, you need to choose a bigger compass.
1-3. Position the compass on an endpoint.
To do this, place the needle of the compass on either endpoint. Open the compass so that it spans a little more than half the length of the line.
2. Bisecting the Line
2-1. Draw an arc above and below the line segment.
Make sure the needle stays on the endpoint, and that you do not adjust the compass setting.
The length of the arcs does not matter.
2-2. Reposition the compass on the other endpoint.
Make sure you do not change the compass setting.
2-3. Draw another set of arcs, above and below the line segment.
Make sure the needle stays on the endpoint, and that you do not adjust the compass setting.
The two sets of arcs you’ve drawn should intersect.
2-4. Connect the arc intersections.
To do this, place your straightedge on the point where the arcs above the line intersect, and align it with the point where the arcs below the line intersect.
2-5. Draw your perpendicular bisector.
The line you draw between the two arc intersections bisects the line at a ninety degree angle.
2-6. Understand why this works.
You have used the compass to outline two congruent circles centered over either endpoint. The intersecting arcs represent the endpoint of a radii from the center of either circle.
The length of the radii will be the same, since the circles are the same size.
Tips
If the two arcs do not intersect, then either you didn't draw the arcs long enough, or you didn't open the compass wide enough. Erase the arcs, open the compass wider, and try again.[9]
X
Research source
Keep the pencil tip sharp. If it gets dull, the wide lines it makes can lead to errors when placing the compass point or the ruler.
Warnings
Make sure you do not change the compass width when you switch from one endpoint to the other.[10]

How to Bite Someone's Lip
|
1. Biting Your Partner's Lip
1-1. Let your teeth graze your partner's lips.
Once you are ready to initiate a bite, part your lips slightly and let your teeth gently graze your kissing partner's bottom lip. Your teeth should only graze at this point and should not yet move in for a bite.
Grazing your teeth against your partner's lip foreshadows the bite itself. If your kissing partner is not comfortable with a bite, this signal lets him or her know that now is the time to redirect your efforts or pull back.
1-2. Gently grab his or her lip with your teeth.
Take your kissing partner's bottom lip in between your top and bottom teeth. Use light pressure to grab the lip and tug down on it just a bit.
Typically, you should aim for the bottom lip. You can experiment by nibbling on the upper lip, as well, but a light bite and tug on the bottom lip is usually considered to be more sensual.
1-3. Keep it brief.
The idea behind biting someone's lip during a kiss is to give him or her a little thrill to heighten the passion and intimacy of the kiss. Do not make the bite itself the main feature of the kiss; instead, you should treat it as a little garnish to make the presentation all the more appealing.
1-4. Alternate between kissing and nibbling.
You can give your kissing partner a few gentle bites in this manner, but even if you use gentle nibbles, doing too much can quickly cause his or her lip to turn raw and bloody. This, of course, will probably be a major turn off, and you may find your kissing partner a little less eager to lean in for another smooch the next time around – if that time comes around at all.
If done right, your kissing partner will get chills from the biting, not pinches or stabs of pain.
Think of the experience as a sweet-and-spicy sort of deal. Kissing is sweeter while bites are a little on the spicier side. Combining the two “flavors” can lead to a more memorable experience.
1-5. Pay attention to your kissing partner's reaction.
A good kiss will be good for both people involved. You might be enjoying yourself, but you need to make sure that the person you kiss can enjoy himself or herself, too.
A negative reaction could mean that you are biting down more than you realized or that your kissing partner has sensitive lips that are easily hurt by a little nibbling. Even if this is no the case, though, it is also possible that he or she just does not feel comfortable with the biting or does not consider it to be much of a turn on. No matter what the cause, though, the point to remember is that you should stop as soon as you get a negative response to the biting (or to any other trick you might try while making out, for that matter).
Negative reactions are usually pretty obvious. If your partner jerks away, tries to redirect the kiss, pushes you away, or makes a verbal “ow” noise, he or she probably is not enjoying the biting. On the other hand, if your partner draws you closer, moans contentedly, or sighs blissfully, you are doing something right.
2. Making the Experience More Pleasurable
2-1. Press your hips together.
Even if you moved in close before the kiss, you might still have an “A-frame” of space in between you, meaning that your chests are close together but your hips are miles away. You can make a bite to the lip even more sensual by simultaneously pressing your hips up against your kissing partner's hip when you nibble on his or her lower lip.
The most sexually intimate parts of your body are below the waist. Even if you do not plan on going any further than kissing, pressing your bodies together below the waist can trigger a greater level of physiological desire, which can make your make-out session even better than it already was.
2-2. Let your hands roam.
Instead of keeping your hands in one place, like at the back of your kissing partner's head or neck, you should let them roam over his or her body a bit. Exactly where you let your hands roam will depend on how intimate you and your partner are willing to get at this point, so keep that in mind as you figure out where to place your hands.
If you and your kissing partner are already at a fairly passionate level of intimacy, you can incorporate other subtle applications of aggressiveness. For instance, you can rake your fingers through your partner's hair or down the side of the neck and back. Just keep in mind that the idea is to heighten the sense of connection between you, not to cause pain or draw blood.
2-3. Consider applying lip balm before you kiss.
Lip balm offers two benefits. The first benefit is that it makes your lips softer in the long run, thereby making them more enjoyable to kiss. The second benefit is that a flavored or scented lip balm can intensify the kiss for your partner by engaging more of his or her senses, especially if you choose the right flavor.
Sweet flavors and minty flavors are the best to choose from. Sweet flavors, like strawberry, can activate the taste buds toward the front of the tongue that respond to sweetness. As a result, when you kiss in between nibbles, your kissing partner's sense of taste will really kick in.
Similarly, the menthol in mint flavors can cause the body's cold receptors to kick in. When you combine this with the sensation of warm lips and warm breath, you can create a tingling sensation that can intensify the experience for both of you.
2-4. Take care of your lips and mouth.
You might not think about it much during the middle of a kiss, but good oral hygiene is important if you want someone to think of you as a really good kisser. Your mouth needs to be clean and your lips need to be soft and moist.
On the most basic level, brushing your teeth two to three times a day will keep them clean and help your breath stay fresh. You can also use a bit of mouthwash for extra freshness.
To make your lips softer, exfoliate with a lip exfoliate or non-toxic body scrub once a week. Apply lip balm with SPF after you get out of the shower and whenever your lips feel dry. For girls, you should also apply a layer of lip balm to your lips before layering on lip gloss or lipstick.
3. Setting the Mood
3-1. Gauge your kissing partner's mood.
Wait until you get a pretty clear indication that he or she is ready for a little passionate smooching. If your kissing partner seems ambivalent to your advances or a little shy, now is not the time to try something as fierce as a lip bite. After all, even the gentlest of nibbles is still a bite.
Exact cues will vary by person, but in general, look for signs that suggest openness and a desire for intimacy. If your partner is snuggling against you, staring deeply into your eyes, or seductively licking his or her lips, you probably have the green light.
3-2. Close the gap.
Once you get the green light, escalate the heat level between you and your kissing partner by reducing the amount of physical distance between the two of you. This technique will only work if you can create a steamy ambiance first, and you will not be able to do that if the two of you are standing apart at arm's length.
You do not need to be completely intertwined for this to work, but you should at least be touching in more places than only your lips.
Also keep in mind that you can narrow the space between you even more as the kiss intensifies.
3-3. Lean in for a kiss.
Your initial lip lock can be sweet or steamy, depending on how intense the mood between you already is. As a general rule of thumb, though, it is better to start off a little milder in your kisses before building up to a bite.
3-4. Intensify the kiss.
The kisses between you and your kissing partner need to build to a highly sensual level. The keyword here is “build,” though. The most effective kiss will intensify to a passionate, steamy state gradually, rather than being rushed to that point.
If you really want to drag things out, you can begin with a closed mouth kiss before moving onto an open mouth kiss. You can also do a little French kissing, or you can gently suck on your partner's lower lip as the first hint that a bite might follow.

On the other hand, if your partner draws you closer, moans contentedly, or sighs blissfully, you are doing something right.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Making the Experience More Pleasurable\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Press your hips together.\", \"描述\": \"Even if you moved in close before the kiss, you might still have an “A-frame” of space in between you, meaning that your chests are close together but your hips are miles away. You can make a bite to the lip even more sensual by simultaneously pressing your hips up against your kissing partner's hip when you nibble on his or her lower lip.\\nThe most sexually intimate parts of your body are below the waist. Even if you do not plan on going any further than kissing, pressing your bodies together below the waist can trigger a greater level of physiological desire, which can make your make-out session even better than it already was.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Let your hands roam.\", \"描述\": \"Instead of keeping your hands in one place, like at the back of your kissing partner's head or neck, you should let them roam over his or her body a bit. Exactly where you let your hands roam will depend on how intimate you and your partner are willing to get at this point, so keep that in mind as you figure out where to place your hands.\\nIf you and your kissing partner are already at a fairly passionate level of intimacy, you can incorporate other subtle applications of aggressiveness. For instance, you can rake your fingers through your partner's hair or down the side of the neck and back. Just keep in mind that the idea is to heighten the sense of connection between you, not to cause pain or draw blood.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Consider applying lip balm before you kiss.\", \"描述\": \"Lip balm offers two benefits. The first benefit is that it makes your lips softer in the long run, thereby making them more enjoyable to kiss. The second benefit is that a flavored or scented lip balm can intensify the kiss for your partner by engaging more of his or her senses, especially if you choose the right flavor.\\nSweet flavors and minty flavors are the best to choose from. Sweet flavors, like strawberry, can activate the taste buds toward the front of the tongue that respond to sweetness. As a result, when you kiss in between nibbles, your kissing partner's sense of taste will really kick in.\\nSimilarly, the menthol in mint flavors can cause the body's cold receptors to kick in. When you combine this with the sensation of warm lips and warm breath, you can create a tingling sensation that can intensify the experience for both of you.\"}, {\"编号\": 4, \"标题\": \"Take care of your lips and mouth.\", \"描述\": \"You might not think about it much during the middle of a kiss, but good oral hygiene is important if you want someone to think of you as a really good kisser. Your mouth needs to be clean and your lips need to be soft and moist.\\nOn the most basic level, brushing your teeth two to three times a day will keep them clean and help your breath stay fresh. You can also use a bit of mouthwash for extra freshness.\\nTo make your lips softer, exfoliate with a lip exfoliate or non-toxic body scrub once a week. Apply lip balm with SPF after you get out of the shower and whenever your lips feel dry. For girls, you should also apply a layer of lip balm to your lips before layering on lip gloss or lipstick.\"}]}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Setting the Mood\", \"步骤\": [{\"编号\": 1, \"标题\": \"Gauge your kissing partner's mood.\", \"描述\": \"Wait until you get a pretty clear indication that he or she is ready for a little passionate smooching.

After all, even the gentlest of nibbles is still a bite.\\nExact cues will vary by person, but in general, look for signs that suggest openness and a desire for intimacy. If your partner is snuggling against you, staring deeply into your eyes, or seductively licking his or her lips, you probably have the green light.\"}, {\"编号\": 2, \"标题\": \"Close the gap.\", \"描述\": \"Once you get the green light, escalate the heat level between you and your kissing partner by reducing the amount of physical distance between the two of you. This technique will only work if you can create a steamy ambiance first, and you will not be able to do that if the two of you are standing apart at arm's length.\\nYou do not need to be completely intertwined for this to work, but you should at least be touching in more places than only your lips.\\nAlso keep in mind that you can narrow the space between you even more as the kiss intensifies.\"}, {\"编号\": 3, \"标题\": \"Lean in for a kiss.\", \"描述\": \"Your initial lip lock can be sweet or steamy, depending on how intense the mood between you already is.

The keyword here is “build,” though. The most effective kiss will intensify to a passionate, steamy state gradually, rather than being rushed to that point.\\nIf you really want to drag things out, you can begin with a closed mouth kiss before moving onto an open mouth kiss. You can also do a little French kissing, or you can gently suck on your partner's lower lip as the first hint that a bite might follow.\"}]}]}}",

How to Bite Your Lip Seductively
|
1. Flirting by Biting Your Lip
1-1. Make eye contact.
To let someone know you're interested in him, start by making eye contact. Move your eyes to his, hold briefly, then look away. Repeat this a few times,so that he knows you're intentionally looking at him.
Don't stare at him. Staring is when you maintain fixed eye contact with someone for longer than a few seconds. Staring can seem aggressive or angry.
Pair your eye contact with a slight smile.
Make sure to watch his response. If he doesn't return your gaze, this is a sign he's not interested. If he looks back, smiles at you, or otherwise responds positively, that's a sign he's okay with your flirting.
1-2. Start a lip pout and bite soon after you make eye contact.
Lower your bottom lip slightly so your teeth are barely showing. You don’t need to purse your lips, just open your mouth to entice the viewer. The pout is the first stage of the seductive lip bite.
Studies show that women initiate flirting 90% of the time. Men flirt largely in response to feeling that flirtation has been initiated by women.
A Manchester University study found that men spend the first 7 to 10 seconds of contact looking at women’s lips before moving onto other areas. Once you've confirmed that he's interested, initiate the lip pout.
Remember that not all cultures share the same body flirtation signals.
Maintain eye contact while you pout your lips.
1-3. Lower your eyelashes seductively.
After establishing eye contact, lowering your eyelids, or glancing at the object of your flirtation through your eyelashes, is a nonverbal indication of desire. You may want to lower your chin and look up at the person to strike a seductive pose.
Some people find themselves naturally blinking their eyes more rapidly. This is also called "batting" the eyes. If this comes naturally to you, it can be another way to add your eyes to the flirtation. If it doesn't come naturally, it might seem like you have something stuck in your eye, and is best avoided.
The downward tilt of the chin is said to make women look more "feminine" and flirtatious. Men, on the other hand, are said to look more "masculine" when they tilt their chin up and gaze slightly down their nose.
1-4. Do a triangle gaze.
Look at one eye, and then move to the other eye and down to the lips. This will draw his attention to your lips.
The reason your eye gaze will draw his attention to your lips is through the tendency of one person to mirror, or imitate, another when engaged in flirtation.
Directing your eye gaze to a man's lips is an overtly flirtatious gesture. It's a nonverbal way of indicating sexual interest.
1-5. Bring your lower lip in very slightly.
Bite tenderly on 1 side of the inner lip for 2 to 5 seconds, before slowly releasing. Maintain eye contact throughout. With eye contact, there's less chance that your lip bite could be misunderstood.
Make sure your teeth don't bite your outer lip, as this may appear insecure or nervous.
A seductive bite should be gentle, never hurtful. It should not leave a mark.
1-6. Lick your lower lips.
Following your lip bite, you may want to add a slight lick of your lower lip with your tongue. Your tongue is a sexual body part, and using your tongue now will make your flirtatious overture more seductive.
Don't overdo it with lip-licking. This can result in chapped lips, which is the opposite effect you are trying to achieve.
Continue to make seductive eye contact throughout your encounter. The seductive lip bite is one gesture in the choreography of your flirtation, working together with others.
2. Preparing Your Lips
2-1. Brush your teeth.
Do this before you put on lipstick or lip gloss. If you need to floss to make sure that you don't have anything stuck between your teeth, do it. The quickest way to ruin a seductive lip bite is to have a piece of food stuck between your teeth.
If you don’t have time to brush, use some mouthwash or chew a stick of gum for a few minutes.
Your breath should be fresh and clean.
2-2. Mix a homemade lip scrub to slough off any dead skin cells.
Stir together 1 tbsp. of sugar, 1 tbsp. of honey, 1/2 tsp. of petroleum jelly and 1/2 tsp. of olive oil. Spread a dime-sized amount of the scrub around your lips in a circular motion.
Scrub until some of the sugar has dissolved. Rinse with warm water.
Apply twice a week for best results. The scrub will store in an airtight container for a week.
2-3. Apply a layer of lip balm.
Every time you wash your face, replenish your lips' moisture with some lip balm. Use a moisturizing product beneath your lipstick, but be careful to avoid lip balms that have drying chemicals in them.
The best lip balms are made without a lot of chemicals. Look for lip balms that include ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, olive oil and cocoa butter.
Find a lip balm that works best for your lips.
Avoid using flavored lip balm when flirting, in case the scent of bubble gum or cherry isn't appealing to him.
2-4. Use a plumping or long lasting lipstick, if you want color.
Red lipstick makes your teeth look whiter and your lips more noticeable. Wearing red lipstick may result in more male attention to your lips than pink lipstick. It doesn't have to be bright or thick lipstick, but research suggests that men are more likely to hold their gaze for longer on red lips than on pink ones.
Make sure the lipstick or lip balm you choose does not come off of the lips easily. If it is too wet or sticky, it may come off onto your teeth when you bite your lip.
If you are male or don’t wear lipstick, use a moisturizing lip balm before you go out for the day.
Tips
Remember to have fun while you flirt, and not take yourself too seriously.
Don't try too hard to pretend to be someone you're not when you're flirting.
Warnings
Avoid biting your lips anxiously. A chronic lip biting habit can cause mouth sores and lead to infection.
You need to put that effort in if you want to seduce someone. Your physical appearance needs to resonate with your actions and interactions to really show the other person you're interested.

What Exactly Does the 🫦 Biting Lip Emoji Mean?
|
1. Meanings
1-1. The 🫦 emoji is a flirty way to say you’re turned on.
If someone sends you the 🫦 emoji, chances are they’re feeling flirty (and frisky). Before you jump to conclusions though, think about the context of their message. Did they send you 🫦 along with a flirtatious text (“I wish you were with me right now 🫦”)? Or did they tack on 🫦 at the end of a totally non-sexy aside (“Ugh, I just stubbed my big toe 🫦”)?
If they paired 🫦 with a flirty message, they’re probably really into you.
If their message doesn’t seem flirty at all, their use of 🫦 might be more innocent.
1-2. The 🫦 emoji can also mean you’re anxious or nervous.
Ever chewed your lips while taking a big exam or watching a scary movie? That might be how the person sending you the 🫦 emoji is feeling. If they add 🫦 to a message about how stressed or anxious they are, that’s why.
“I’ve been studying for 9 hours straight but I’m still dreading this test 🫦”
“This movie has me on the edge of my seat 🫦🫣”
“Why am I lying in bed at 3am thinking about the eventual heat death of the universe 🫦💀🌌? What is wrong with me? Pls help”
1-3. 🫦 can mean you’re excited about something.
And no, not just the sexual kind of excitement. Think getting ready to go on a European vacation with your besties, or finding out they’re bringing back your favorite brand of popsicles that were discontinued when you were 12. If someone pairs the 🫦 emoji with a celebratory message, they might just be really excited about something.
“Taylor Swift’s new album is coming out in 6 days and I’m freaking out 🚨🚨🚨🫦🫦🫦”
“I cannot wait any longer for the new Marvel movie to come out 🫦👀 I need an excuse to eat too much popcorn and drink 3 large sodas”
“Tomorrow is the first day of fall and I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival in my comfy sweater 🍂😬🫦”
1-4. 🫦 could also mean you’re in pain.
Why does biting your lip after slamming your finger in something seem to help with the pain? We’re not sure, but it’s why some people pair the 🫦 emoji with posts or messages about how much pain they’re in.
“So I got hit in the face with a baseball today 🫦⚾. Check out this gnarly bruise”
“I just watched a video of someone slip and fall backwards on the diving board 🫣🫦 Remind me to never use a diving board again”
“I fell out of a tree and broke my arm ☹️🫦”
2. Alternative Biting Lip Emoji
What’s up with that other biting lip emoji (the yellow face one)?
Ah yes, the alternative, unofficial biting lip emoji. You may have seen the meme of this yellow face biting lip emoji floating around places like TikTok and Discord. Before the actual biting lip emoji was released, internet users came together to create their own version, then pushed for Apple to make it official. There was even a Change.org petition that got over 40,000 signatures. While the yellow face biting lip emoji sadly never became official, Apple did eventually release its own version in 2021.
Like the 🫦 emoji, the yellow face biting lip emoji is usually used to show that someone is turned on (leave it to the internet to create more “sexy” emojis).

What Are the Benefits of Black Obsidian? How to Make the Most of This Glassy Gem
|
1. Black Obsidian’s Healing Properties
1-1. Black obsidian provides insight into the causes of physical ailments.
It’s been used by healers to diagnose and treat illnesses for thousands of years, and many individuals choose to hold, wear, or meditate with it to soothe their own bodies. It’s also a detoxifier that relieves tension and improves energy flow, especially in the lower half of the body. Some of its specific healing uses include:
Promoting good circulation and warming the extremities.
Relieving arthritis and joint pain.
Soothing menstrual and digestive cramps.
Treating an enlarged prostate.
Helping the absorption of vitamins C and D.
1-2. Obsidian shows you your true self for mental and emotional healing.
Black obsidian’s reflective surface aids with introspective work, helping you face the dark parts of yourself and accept yourself fully. It highlights your self-sabotaging patterns and shows you what needs to be cut from your life to release negativity, including toxic relationships or negative attachments.
Black obsidian doesn’t absorb negative energy from you. Instead, it empowers you to find the root of your problems and deal with them yourself.
Working with black obsidian helps with unresolved traumas and getting rid of emotional baggage that’s holding you back.
Psychologically, obsidian is useful for managing and soothing mental and emotional illnesses like anxiety or depression.
1-3. Spiritually, obsidian strengthens and heals you so you can be whole.
This stone helps you discover talents and capabilities you may not have known you had, including spiritual gifts like clairvoyance or prophesying. It revitalizes your soul so your inner energies can flow freely and anchors your spirit to your body.
Obsidian stimulates personal growth in all aspects, including spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
It won’t reveal to you exactly how to grow spiritually, but encourages you to explore the unknown and remove the obstacles in your way.
2. Black Obsidian’s Other Benefits
2-1. Black obsidian protects against external negative energy.
Over time, low vibrations from others can cloud up your auric field (especially if you’re a healer). Working with obsidian can release this psychic smog from your aura since it’s a powerful spiritual cleanser.
Wear obsidian jewelry or carry a piece in your pocket for an easy way to ward off bad energy during the day.
2-2. Obsidian has a strong grounding effect that calms your body and mind.
Obsidian is made of cooled lava from deep underground, meaning it carries the peaceful, nurturing energy of the earth with it. It acts as a conductor, taking all of your excess or nervous energy and channeling it away to the ground to help you feel at peace.
Black obsidian is also related to the root chakra, the lowest and most grounding chakra in your body that makes you feel secure.
2-3. Obsidian is useful for contacting spirit guides and loved ones.
The vibration of black obsidian facilitates communication with your spiritual guides, guardian angels, or whichever protectors you believe in for guidance and strength. By looking into its reflective surface in low light, you may even be able to see the image of a loved one, too (living or passed).
Obsidian has been used by shamans and crystal gazers to contact the spiritual world for thousands of years.
Reflective pieces of obsidian are useful for scrying. Scrying is the ability to foretell the future with reflective objects or surfaces like mirrors and crystal balls.
2-4. Black obsidian is very lucky, especially for wealth.
Obsidian has the ability to turn bad luck into good luck. It cleanses or deflects negative energy that might affect your decision making, thought processes, or emotions to help you make practical, lucky choices. This is extra valuable when you’re making financial or career decisions.
Obsidian doesn’t help with love or romantic luck per se, but it helps you see yourself and your relationships clearly to make positive change.
3. How to Use Black Obsidian
3-1. Incorporate obsidian into your meditation routine when you’re anxious.
If you feel like your head is in the clouds or you’re faced with a new challenge, grab your obsidian and go to your preferred meditation spot. Hold the obsidian in your lap and focus on thoughts that will help you release your anxiety. These thoughts could be things like:
“I embrace this new challenge and am prepared to do my best.”
“I release my anxiety into this obsidian.”
“I will stay grounded in the face of uncomfortable changes.”
3-2. Keep black obsidian nearby while you journal or do self-reflective work.
Set a piece of it next to you on your desk, wear it as jewelry, or hold it while you self-contemplate. Its reflective properties will help you identify and release any internal blocks or negative habits that are holding you back from personal or spiritual success.
Looking inward may not always be comfortable, but the obsidian will guide and protect you while you face your shadows or unresolved traumas.
3-3. Add obsidian to your home’s feng shui to filter out negative energy.
To harmonize the energies within your home, keep a piece of obsidian near your front door to block low vibrations from entering. Try placing smaller pieces on top of door frames, windowsills, or in all the corners of your home, too. Keep a piece in your living room to maintain good energy while you entertain guests, or in your bedroom to keep you grounded and safe while you sleep.
If you work from home, put obsidian in your office space to filter out negativity from unpleasant calls, emails, or messages.
Try placing obsidian near your TVs and computers to keep toxic energy from the news or social media from infiltrating your house.
There’s no bad or wrong place to put black obsidian in your home—if your intuition senses that it’s needed in a particular area or room, go ahead and place it there.
3-4. Wear obsidian jewelry to ground and protect you throughout the day.
Put on a black obsidian ring, bracelet, or necklace before you head out the door to keep a protective shield around you and your aura. If jewelry isn’t your thing, carry a piece in your pocket, backpack, or purse for the same effect. The jewelry will keep you grounded and connected to the earth, especially if you feel nervous or scattered.
3-5. Use black obsidian to balance your root chakra.
Wear or sleep with obsidian to passively soothe your root chakra throughout the day or night. To actively target it, meditate while you hold the stone to your lower back or pelvic area where the chakra is located. Clear your mind and feel the energy passing between the stone and your chakra, and then up your body throughout the rest of your chakras.
The root chakra is a swirling ball of red energy located at the base of your spine.
The vibrations of black obsidian and the root chakra resonate very strongly and provide a connection between you and the earth.
3-6. Sleep with black obsidian to aid your dreamwork.
Before you go to bed at night, meditate with your obsidian and set a clear intention for your work—maybe you need to wake up with a solution to a personal problem, or you want to communicate with someone far away or who has passed. When you’re finished, place the obsidian next to your bed, sleep with it under your pillow, or wear obsidian jewelry overnight.
The clearer and more well-intentioned your goal is, the more likely you are to achieve it.
It’s OK if your first attempt at dreamwork is unsuccessful. Keep trying and make sure to keep your intention clear and front of mind.
Obsidian is also useful for sharpening your dream recall and lucid dreaming abilities.
3-7. Hold or touch obsidian while meditating to boost your physical health.
If you’re feeling generally unwell or ill, meditate while holding black obsidian to gain clarity on what’s ailing you. Your meditation might reveal you’ve been overworked, suffering from bad sleep, or engaging in other unhealthy habits that are running you down. If a specific area of the body is in pain, place the obsidian there while you meditate and channel your energy and focus to that spot.
Try visiting a crystal healer, like a reiki practitioner, to perform more complex healing rituals for you or to guide you through your own self-healing.
4. How to Care for Black Obsidian
4-1. Cleanse your black obsidian every 2-3 weeks to clear it of bad energy.
Cleanse it with method that doesn’t involve water—obsidian is only a 5.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, meaning that prolonged exposure to water might degrade the quality of the stone. Some simple and effective cleansing methods include:
Leaving your obsidian on a natural surface that receives direct moonlight overnight.
Placing obsidian in direct sunlight for about 30 minutes.
Smudging your obsidian in sage or palo santo smoke for 30-60 seconds.
Activating a tuning fork to the “Om” frequency (136.1 Hz) and touching the tip of it to the obsidian so it resonates with the vibration.
4-2. Physically clean obsidian with water and gentle soap if necessary.
If your obsidian crystal or jewelry is smudged or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft cloth, water, and a mild soap or detergent. Use as little water as possible—obsidian shouldn’t be wet for long, but a quick cleaning is unlikely to do any damage. Avoid using bristled brushes since they can scratch its glassy surface.
4-3. Store obsidian in a fabric-lined box away from sunlight and moisture.
Obsidian scratches easily, so wrap it in a natural fabric like silk, suede, or leather if you’re storing it with other crystals or put it in its own lined box for protection. Store it in a spot where it won’t sit in direct sunlight for days on end and especially where it won’t get wet (too much water will make it brittle).
Scratches diminish obsidian’s glassy and reflective surface, but they also change how it conducts energy.
Obsidian is very sharp when it cracks or breaks, so handle it with care!
5. Where does black obsidian come from?
Obsidian forms when volcanic lava flows cool very rapidly.
The fast cooling usually happens because the lava flow encounters a lake or ocean, which gives obsidian its glassy, reflective luster. Most obsidian is black or very dark gray, but some varieties are red, brown-green, green, yellow, and (very rarely) transparent. Depending on what minerals were in the lava, the obsidian can also have a golden, rainbow, or white speckled sheen to it.
Obsidian can be found naturally anywhere there’s ever been volcanic activity, like Argentina, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, New Zealand, and the US.
Obsidian has been used by humans for thousands of years. Early civilizations used it to make knives, weapons, carvings, masks, and mirrors.

Black Rose Meaning, History & More
|
1. Black Rose Meanings
1-1. Black roses are often associated with death and mourning.
They often bring to mind the loss of a loved one, or the loss of a relationship. Many people choose to get tattoos of black roses as memorials to people who, for one reason or another, are no longer in their lives. You might give black roses to someone grieving.
1-2. Black roses can represent the end of a romantic relationship.
Consider them the darker counterpart to the typical red rose, which often signifies budding passion. If someone offers a black rose as a gift, it can signify that the relationship is ending and it’s time to part ways.
1-3. A black rose can signify change or metamorphosis.
They can be a common go-to gift for someone undergoing major life changes, or a challenge that requires some courage. They can also signify new beginnings and rebirth. For this reason, they can be good flowers for weddings. Just be sure the bride and groom understand the intent!
1-4. Black roses can represent duality.
Since red roses often symbolize romance and vitality, black roses can be a symbol of subversion, duality, or opposition. They might also represent good and evil. Keep black roses in your home to remind yourself to keep balanced.
1-5. Black roses can represent power.
Black as a color is often used to represent things like power, confidence, and strength. Pairing the color with a rose ups the elegance and allure, and makes black roses a great gift for someone as elegant and strong as the roses themselves.
1-6. In fiction, black roses signify dark emotion.
For example, a black rose appeared in American Horror Story: Murder House to foreshadow a doomed romance In Babylon 5, a black rose was used to mark an important death, and the tragic feelings that came with it. Keep an eye out for black roses in TV, movies, books, and music, and take note of how they’re used.
2. History of Black Roses
2-1. The black rose was a symbol of freedom in the Middle Ages.
Many peasants in times of revolt and resistance regarded the black rose as a symbol similar to the Holy Grail. Since black roses can’t be found in nature, these peasants compared their exhausting struggle for freedom to finding a black rose–something out of reach, but sought after anyway.
2-2. The black rose appears in “Róisín Dubh,” a famous Irish folk song.
The song, the title of which literally means “Black Rose,” originated in the 16th century and is said to be named after Róisín Dubh, supposedly a daughter of an Earl. The song is very political in nature, referencing the turbulent state of Ireland during the presence of the Saxons and Normans.
2-3. Black roses were given to soldiers going off to war.
Since death and loss is a popular meaning of the rose, family and friends of soldiers might have given these roses to deployed soldiers. These soldiers were going on a journey with little chances of coming back, and so the rose was given as a solemn reminder of their mortality.
3. How Black Roses Are Made
3-1. Black roses are typically dyed.
To achieve the striking coloration, florists will add a flower dye to a container of water, then place a brightly-colored variety of rose in the container. The dye then travels up the stem as the roses drink the water, and eventually stain the petals that color. Other methods of dyeing roses include dipping rosebuds in dye, or spraying dye onto the bloomed flowers.
3-2. Black roses are said to occur naturally in Halfeti, Turkey.
In the city of Halfeti, the roses may not be black, exactly, but rather an intensely dark wine color. This is due to the particular pH content of Halfeti’s soil, which alters the roses’ coloring. These roses are known as “Karagül" in Turkish, and today are a popular export of the city. It’s not hard to see why!
Tips
To dye your own roses at home, try starting with the rose varieties “Vendela,” “La Belle,” or “Avalanche.” These are white and cream-colored roses that respond well to dyes. Any light-colored rose variety will do, but the lighter, the better.[15]

While you may not be able to grow your own naturally black roses, the rose varieties “Black Velvet,” “Black Magic,” and “Nigrette” have naturally dark pigments and can be just as striking.[16]

How to Blacken Fish
|
1. Blackening Fish on the Grill
1-1. Cut the meat into fillets that are 4 by 6 in (10 by 15 cm).
To properly blacken fish, the fillets need to be thin enough to cook quickly without burning. Cut your meat so that the fillets are no larger than 4 by 6 in (10 by 15 cm). They should not be thicker than ⁄2 in (1.3 cm).
For thicker cuts of fish, slice it laterally to make 2 thinner slices.
Keep your fish refrigerated until you are ready to cook it.
1-2. Mix all of the spices in a small bowl.
Cajun spices produce the best flavor when blackening fish. You can always add or take out any spice you want. For a zesty, spicy flavor, make sure to use cayenne pepper, black and white pepper, paprika, dry mustard, cumin, thyme, and salt. Adjust the amounts to fit your preference.
Don’t use fresh herbs, as they will burn too quickly.
Place the spices in an airtight container if you are not using them within an hour.
1-3. Turn the grill on high and heat a cast iron skillet on the grill.
Whether you are using a gas grill or a charcoal grill, you must make sure your pan is hot before adding the fish. Placing a cast iron skillet directly on the rack of the grill works best. After your grill is heated, it should only take around 5 minutes for the skillet to become hot.
Only use skillets that can withstand high temperatures and direct heat.
You can also heat a cast iron skillet on the stove on high heat for 10 minutes. However, cooking blackened fish in a cast iron skillet is not recommended indoors due to the amount of smoke the blackening method produces.
1-4. Melt ⁄4 c (180 mL) of butter and lather your piece of fish.
The easiest way to melt your butter is to put it in the microwave for 10-second increments until it is completely melted. Use a bristled brush to lather your fish with butter, or dunk it in a bowl with butter. Make sure you fully saturate each piece of fish.
1-5. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with blackening spices.
After your fish is covered in butter, rub your spices around the exterior of the fish. You can add as much or as little spice as you want.
Spices should be added immediately before you cook your fish. Put the fish directly in the hot pan after seasoning.
1-6. Put a piece of fish on the skillet and spoon 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of butter on it.
Place a piece of fish in the middle of the hot cast iron skillet and immediately spoon the melted butter on top.
Use caution as the butter hitting the hot pan can make it flare up or smoke.
1-7. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Cook the first side of the fish for 2-3 minutes and then flip the piece of fish. Spoon another 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of butter on the other side and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. The fish is done when it has a blackened color to its surface. The meat should also separate easily with a fork.
If you are unsure if your fish is done, check the temperature with a meat thermometer and make sure it has reached at least 145 °F (63 °C).
1-8. Serve your fish immediately.
Blackened fish makes a great meal all on its own, or atop a salad. The fish should be served immediately. Store any leftover fish in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Store any leftovers as soon as possible. If they are left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, throw them away.
If you cannot get to your leftovers in 2-3 days, freeze them in a container or airtight bag for up to a month.
You can try adding different dressings to enhance the Cajun style seasonings, like a strawberry kiwi salsa.
2. Using a Stainless-Steel Skillet for Indoor Cooking
2-1. Mix all of the spices in a small bowl.
The spices vary slightly from the grilling method. You should still use paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, and add garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil. You can always add or remove spices to fit your preference.
Cajun spices work best for blackened recipes.
You should still avoid using fresh spices and herbs and store the spices in an airtight container if they will not be used for more than an hour.
2-2. Heat a skillet with ⁄2 tsp (2.5 mL) of olive oil on medium heat.
Place your olive oil in a skillet and heat the oil before adding your fish. Disperse the oil so that it covers the entire pan evenly. Do not allow your oil to become too hot or smoke, as this can cause the oil to flare when you add the fish.
Using olive oil for blackening fish on the stove will help create the charred texture.
2-3. Sprinkle the fish with salt and ½ to 1 tsp (1 to 2 grams) of seasoning.
Cover both sides of the fish with seasoning. You can add a splash of olive oil to the exterior of the fish before adding your spices to help the seasonings stick.
After adding the spices, place your fish directly in the hot skillet.
2-4. Place the fish in the skillet for 5-6 minutes.
Blackening fish in a skillet takes a little longer than grilling because of the reduced temperature of the stove. Keep your stove on medium-high and flip the fish fillets halfway through. Reduce the heat to medium-low for the last 2-3 minutes.
2-5. Serve your fish immediately and store leftovers in the fridge.
Your meat will be done when the edges have blackened, and the fillet has a smoky color. The meat should be easy to pull apart with a fork. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
You can also freeze any leftovers in an airtight container or bag for up to a month.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the inside of the fish has reached at least 145 °F (63 °C) if you are unsure if it is done.
Warnings
Use caution when blackening fish indoors. If the skillet becomes too hot, it may produce a large amount of smoke when the fish is added.
Only use a cast iron skillet on the grill when you are cooking outside. Blackening fish on a cast iron skillet will produce a large volume of smoke. Opening windows or turning on fans is not a sufficient way to control the smoke indoors, which is why this method is recommended only for outdoor grilling.

How to Blacken Steak
|
1. Seasoning Steak
1-1. Choose New York strip steaks or rib eye steaks.
You want to use these lean cuts because they will cook evenly and blacken well. Choose steaks that are about ¾-inch (2cm) thick.
1-2. Defrost the steaks completely in the refrigerator overnight.
Do not defrost them in the microwave, or you will ruin the process of blackening them.
1-3. Mix up your Cajun rub.
You can simply buy Cajun seasoning and coat each side of steak with ¾ tsp. (approximately 1.4g) of the seasoning, or you can make your own. To make the rub yourself, whisk together the ingredients listed above and apply them to your steak.
1-4. Let the steak come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
2. Preparing the Skillet
2-1. Heat up your grill.
Heat one side to very high heat and bring the other side to low heat. Spray the low heat side with a little cooking spray before you heat the grill.
2-2. Place your cast iron skillet on the hot side of the grill.
You want it to be as hot as you can get it. Allow it to heat for 20 minutes.
2-3. Get some tongs, a plate and your steaks.
3. Blackening the Steak
3-1. Place a one tablespoon (14g) pat of butter on one side of each steak.
3-2. Set the steak butter-side down into the hot skillet.
You may want to cook your steaks one at a time if your cast iron skillet isn't very large. You don't want steaks to touch while they are blackening.
3-3. Let the steak cook on this side for four minutes.
The butter may catch on fire, and that is ok. Don't adjust the cooking temperature.
3-4. Flip your steaks over.
Cook them for three minutes on the second side. You don't need to apply more butter.
3-5. Set the steak on the cooler side of the grill when you have blackened the surface.
Keep them on this side until you have reached your desired doneness. Rare steaks can start to rest immediately after blackening.
3-6. Cook for an additional one to five minutes, turning halfway through.
3-7. Place the steaks on a plate to rest.
Cover the plate with tin foil. Turn off your grill.
3-8. Serve after the steak has rested for 10 minutes.

How to Blacken Your Teeth (Ohaguro)
|
1. Steps
1-1. Gather your supplies.
You will have to get yourself an apple cider vinegar bottle, or either grape vinegar, this will work fine too (both can be commonly found in supermarkets), and some steel wool, which you can find in a hardware shop (Common nails, needles and pins work fine too! You just need to be careful when handling them.). Then you will need either matcha (green tea powder you can find in most Asian groceries, or either make at home; in this case, you will have to be careful to make a very thin powder) or gallnut (also known as tannins) powder. The choice is up to you, green tea powder is easier to find, gallnut powder is proved to prevent some strains of streptococcus bacteria, but both will work fine for the mixture.
1-2. Leave the steel wool soaked in a container filled with vinegar for five to seven days, until you obtain a dark (bad smelling) substance and you see a silvery-to-rust colored bubbly foam forming on the surface.
This is ferrous acetate; despite the scary name, this liquid isn't harmful for humans. To alleviate the bad smell you can correct the liquid with cinnamon or another spice powder depending on your tastes.
1-3. Put the obtained liquid in a bowl and add gallnut powder or tea powder.
This will make the ferrous acetate turn black and non-water-soluble. Mix everything until you obtain a smooth and deep black mixture.
1-4. Apply to your teeth!
Pick up a soft paint or calligraphy brush and soak it in your ohaguro stain mixture; then put it on your teeth in front of a mirror, trying to be precise, just not to waste it, as it can be easily washed away from your gums, tongue and palate. Achieving a deep black will require a few layers. Once you will have achieved the shade you like, rinse your mouth with water until it's free from residues.
1-5. Here you go!
If you want to keep your teeth dyed, you should put the mixture on once a day or once every few days.
Tips
Brush your teeth carefully and deeply before painting them so the mixture will last longer.
Note that if the vinegar doesn't change color and no white/silvery scum is noticeable at the top, the steel soaking in it is non-oxidizable, so it won't have any reaction; but don't worry, simply take it off and replace it with another kind of steel. Metallic screws and nails react very fast.
Adding sugar to the mixture will suppress the bad taste a little.
Warnings
Be sure to know if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients before using this mixture.
If you live in a Western or very modernized city, people might take an over attention about your blackened teeth.
If you're a kid, you should ask your parents or tutor before applying this dye. Even if after you apply it, it will completely fade within a few days.
You shouldn't apply this dye if you have very sensitive gums or wounds inside of your mouth.

What Is a Blackout Poem? Plus Expert-Backed Tips & Examples
|
1. What is blackout poetry?
1-1. Blackout poetry is a poem made by removing words from an existing text.
Normally, you write poetry by… writing! But in blackout poetry, the focus is on erasing or blacking out words to create a new poem out of words that are already written. Those words can be anything from a novel passage to a personal letter to a grocery list—as long as it’s got words, it’s fair game for blackout poetry.
The first notable contemporary blackout poet, Austin Kleon, used newspapers to make his blackout poems in 2010. He was bored and looking for inspiration, and started scribbling on articles in order to make new art.
1-2. Some of the first blackout poems were written by Ben Franklin’s neighbor.
Though the form has gained popularity somewhat recently, it’s been around for quite a while. In the 1700s, Franklin’s neighbor, Caleb Whitefoord, constructed humorous poems by reading newspapers across the columns rather than down. He shared them with his friends, and these were some of the first recorded blackout poems.
1-3. Blackout poetry has its roots in the art movement of Dadaism.
Dadaism, which began during WWI, focuses on breaking an existing artwork to form something new. When you make blackout poetry, you’re participating in that spirit of Dadaism—taking a text and “breaking” it to make a new piece of art!
A similar form, cut-up poetry, which “breaks” existing texts by literally cutting them up and rearranging them, gained popularity as a form when, in 1959, the beat poet Brion Gysin wrote a poem out of words he pulled out of a hat.
2. Making Blackout Poetry
2-1. Find a used book or newspaper to black out.
Blackout poetry can be made with anything that has text printed on it: used books, newspapers, existing poetry, even a cereal box. If it’s got words, it can be made into poetry! Just be sure you don’t mind permanently drawing on or cutting up whatever it is you use—probably best to stay away from that brand new novel you haven’t read just yet.
Blackout poetry is great when writing poetry for beginners, since you’re working with words that already exist, and don’t have to worry about writing new ones.
2-2. Find a black marker, plus optional supplies like paint, glue, and scissors.
For the most common method of creating blackout poetry, you’ll just need a black marker (or any other color that will cover up text) and the original text itself. But you can also make blackout poetry by cutting out words with scissors, pasting in new words with glue, or even going full arts-and-crafts and adding things like ribbons or fabrics.
You can also just use a pen or a pencil rather than a black marker. A black marker will make removing words easier, but you can make blackout poetry with just about any writing tool. Mary Ruefle, a notable blackout poet, actually uses whiteout.
2-3. Read the source material before you black it out.
Like most things in poetry, this is completely optional, but it can be helpful to read the text before you start altering it, so that you get an idea of what you’re working with. Take note of words and phrases that catch your eye and which you might want to use in your own poem.
Alternatively, it's equally valid to just dive right in and start blacking out before you’ve read the text. Follow your instinct, and don’t worry too much about doing it “right,” rather just do what feels right to you.
2-4. Draw a box around the words you want to keep.
These words can be right next to each other, or on opposite corners of the page. Usually, these words will form a sentence when read together, but they don’t have to. Box whatever you want to keep, and everything else will get blacked out.
Blackout poems sometimes interact with the text they’re blacking out. For example, if you’re blacking out an article about current events, the words you choose to keep might reflect your own thoughts on the events. This approach isn’t mandatory, of course.
Use a pencil to box possible words, if you don’t want your choices to be permanent just yet. Or, embrace the permanent marker and go with the flow!
2-5. Draw over the words you didn’t box.
You can completely black out the whole page except for your chosen words, or you can just run your marker along each line, as though you were highlighting the words. The key is to make the words you boxed the only legible words on the page, so that a reader only reads them.
Have fun with how you choose to black out the piece. Some poets black out the words by drawing illustrations, some leave the other words on the page and simply draw arrows or lines to connect the boxed words. It’s up to you.
2-6. Experiment with your designs and margins.
Your blackout poem doesn’t have to stop at the actual blacking out—this is poetry, after all, and you should get as creative as you want to. Consider drawing related illustrations in the margins of the page, or gluing in photos from magazines to create a collage that adds to the poem. Your collage poem is yours to create however you choose.
2-7. Make blackout poetry online.
If you don’t want to scribble in or cut up a book or other text, there are some websites you can use to make blackout poetry digitally, without any permanent alterations. The New York Times has an online blackout poem maker where you can black out NYT articles, or use the Blackout Poetry Maker to black out any copy and pasted text.
Alternatively, use a word processor’s highlight function to make a blackout poem. Set the highlight color to black (or your preference) and select and highlight any text you want to black out.
2-8. Share your blackout poem online.
Because blackout is so fun and accessible, it’s garnered plenty of attention on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Consider taking a photo of or even performing your blackout poem on camera and sharing it with the world using hashtags like #blackoutpoetry or #erasurepoetry. Of course, the poem you write can just be yours to enjoy, too.
3. Blackout Poem Examples
3-1. Your poem can revolve around a specific, intriguing theme.
You can do this for any sort of text: write a blackout poem about stars using an article from Nasa; write a blackout poem about nature using the Farmer’s Almanac. Or, choose your own theme and try to make an unrelated text talk about that theme instead.
On first read, look for exciting and related words that can tie your theme together. For a poem on the sky, you might take note of "stars," "clouds," and "horizon," for example.
3-2. Blackout poetry doesn’t have to make sense.
Take a look at the example above. Like any form of poetry, you aren’t bound by grammar rules, and you don’t even need to form coherent sentences (here, you'll see an exciting, dynamic poem that isn't afraid to break the rules!). You might choose to keep only words that you like, but which don’t form any sort of “correct” sentence. Or, you might try to to make a sentence that purposefully doesn’t make any sense, just to play with the words.
3-3. Blackout poems might have other texts cut and pasted onto them.
This poem above uses multiple mediums to create the perfect poem. So if you want a word that isn't there, go ahead and cut it out from another page. This'll give you even more freedom, and it can also make for a cool, mixed-media look.
Blackout poems sometimes incorporate methods used when writing shape poems, which arrange words into specific patterns. Try arranging your cut-out words into new shapes that relate to the poem (so if your poem is about a star, try a star shape!).
3-4. Some blackout poems obscure parts of words to form new words.
You aren’t limited to just blacking out entire words. Take a look at this poem above; the remaining letters create new, exciting messages from the original text. Sure, the new word might be scattered across the page, but that’s part of the fun. Your readers will love your creative take!
If you find you’re looking for a particular word that isn’t in the text itself, this is a great technique for manipulating existing words to form the word you need.
3-5. Your blackout poem can respond to the text you're working with.
First, read the entire text, then decide how you feel about it. Do you disagree with author? Do you feel moved by their poem? Now, like this poem above, black out text to create a message that summarizes your reaction. This creates a fascinating, multi-dimensional blackout poem!

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. What is blackout poetry?\\n1-1. Blackout poetry is a poem made by removing words from an existing text.\\nNormally, you write poetry by… writing! But in blackout poetry, the focus is on erasing or blacking out words to create a new poem out of words that are already written. Those words can be anything from a novel passage to a personal letter to a grocery list—as long as it’s got words, it’s fair game for blackout poetry.\\nThe first notable contemporary blackout poet, Austin Kleon, used newspapers to make his blackout poems in 2010. He was bored and looking for inspiration, and started scribbling on articles in order to make new art.\\n1-2. Some of the first blackout poems were written by Ben Franklin’s neighbor.\\nThough the form has gained popularity somewhat recently, it’s been around for quite a while. In the 1700s, Franklin’s neighbor, Caleb Whitefoord, constructed humorous poems by reading newspapers across the columns rather than down. He shared them with his friends, and these were some of the first recorded blackout poems.\\n1-3. Blackout poetry has its roots in the art movement of Dadaism.\\nDadaism, which began during WWI, focuses on breaking an existing artwork to form something new. When you make blackout poetry, you’re participating in that spirit of Dadaism—taking a text and “breaking” it to make a new piece of art!\\nA similar form, cut-up poetry, which “breaks” existing texts by literally cutting them up and rearranging them, gained popularity as a form when, in 1959, the beat poet Brion Gysin wrote a poem out of words he pulled out of a hat.\\n2. Making Blackout Poetry\\n2-1. Find a used book or newspaper to black out.\\nBlackout poetry can be made with anything that has text printed on it: used books, newspapers, existing poetry, even a cereal box. If it’s got words, it can be made into poetry! Just be sure you don’t mind permanently drawing on or cutting up whatever it is you use—probably best to stay away from that brand new novel you haven’t read just yet.\\nBlackout poetry is great when writing poetry for beginners, since you’re working with words that already exist, and don’t have to worry about writing new ones.\\n2-2. Find a black marker, plus optional supplies like paint, glue, and scissors.\\nFor the most common method of creating blackout poetry, you’ll just need a black marker (or any other color that will cover up text) and the original text itself. But you can also make blackout poetry by cutting out words with scissors, pasting in new words with glue, or even going full arts-and-crafts and adding things like ribbons or fabrics.\\nYou can also just use a pen or a pencil rather than a black marker. A black marker will make removing words easier, but you can make blackout poetry with just about any writing tool. Mary Ruefle, a notable blackout poet, actually uses whiteout.\\n2-3. Read the source material before you black it out.\\nLike most things in poetry, this is completely optional, but it can be helpful to read the text before you start altering it, so that you get an idea of what you’re working with. Take note of words and phrases that catch your eye and which you might want to use in your own poem.\\nAlternatively, it's equally valid to just dive right in and start blacking out before you’ve read the text. Follow your instinct, and don’t worry too much about doing it “right,” rather just do what feels right to you.\\n2-4. Draw a box around the words you want to keep.\\nThese words can be right next to each other, or on opposite corners of the page. Usually, these words will form a sentence when read together, but they don’t have to. Box whatever you want to keep, and everything else will get blacked out.\\nBlackout poems sometimes interact with the text they’re blacking out. For example, if you’re blacking out an article about current events, the words you choose to keep might reflect your own thoughts on the events. This approach isn’t mandatory, of course.\\nUse a pencil to box possible words, if you don’t want your choices to be permanent just yet. Or, embrace the permanent marker and go with the flow!\\n2-5. Draw over the words you didn’t box.\\nYou can completely black out the whole page except for your chosen words, or you can just run your marker along each line, as though you were highlighting the words. The key is to make the words you boxed the only legible words on the page, so that a reader only reads them.\\nHave fun with how you choose to black out the piece. Some poets black out the words by drawing illustrations, some leave the other words on the page and simply draw arrows or lines to connect the boxed words. It’s up to you.\\n2-6. Experiment with your designs and margins.\\nYour blackout poem doesn’t have to stop at the actual blacking out—this is poetry, after all, and you should get as creative as you want to. Consider drawing related illustrations in the margins of the page, or gluing in photos from magazines to create a collage that adds to the poem. Your collage poem is yours to create however you choose.\\n2-7. Make blackout poetry online.\\nIf you don’t want to scribble in or cut up a book or other text, there are some websites you can use to make blackout poetry digitally, without any permanent alterations. The New York Times has an online blackout poem maker where you can black out NYT articles, or use the Blackout Poetry Maker to black out any copy and pasted text.\\nAlternatively, use a word processor’s highlight function to make a blackout poem. Set the highlight color to black (or your preference) and select and highlight any text you want to black out.\\n2-8. Share your blackout poem online.\\nBecause blackout is so fun and accessible, it’s garnered plenty of attention on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Consider taking a photo of or even performing your blackout poem on camera and sharing it with the world using hashtags like #blackoutpoetry or #erasurepoetry. Of course, the poem you write can just be yours to enjoy, too.\\n3. Blackout Poem Examples\\n3-1. Your poem can revolve around a specific, intriguing theme.\\nYou can do this for any sort of text: write a blackout poem about stars using an article from Nasa; write a blackout poem about nature using the Farmer’s Almanac. Or, choose your own theme and try to make an unrelated text talk about that theme instead.\\nOn first read, look for exciting and related words that can tie your theme together. For a poem on the sky, you might take note of \\\"stars,\\\" \\\"clouds,\\\" and \\\"horizon,\\\" for example.\\n3-2. Blackout poetry doesn’t have to make sense.\\nTake a look at the example above. Like any form of poetry, you aren’t bound by grammar rules, and you don’t even need to form coherent sentences (here, you'll see an exciting, dynamic poem that isn't afraid to break the rules!). You might choose to keep only words that you like, but which don’t form any sort of “correct” sentence. Or, you might try to to make a sentence that purposefully doesn’t make any sense, just to play with the words.\\n3-3. Blackout poems might have other texts cut and pasted onto them.\\nThis poem above uses multiple mediums to create the perfect poem. So if you want a word that isn't there, go ahead and cut it out from another page. This'll give you even more freedom, and it can also make for a cool, mixed-media look.\\nBlackout poems sometimes incorporate methods used when writing shape poems, which arrange words into specific patterns. Try arranging your cut-out words into new shapes that relate to the poem (so if your poem is about a star, try a star shape!).\\n3-4. Some blackout poems obscure parts of words to form new words.\\nYou aren’t limited to just blacking out entire words. Take a look at this poem above; the remaining letters create new, exciting messages from the original text. Sure, the new word might be scattered across the page, but that’s part of the fun. Your readers will love your creative take!\\nIf you find you’re looking for a particular word that isn’t in the text itself, this is a great technique for manipulating existing words to form the word you need.\\n3-5. Your blackout poem can respond to the text you're working with.\\nFirst, read the entire text, then decide how you feel about it. Do you disagree with author? Do you feel moved by their poem? Now, like this poem above, black out text to create a message that summarizes your reaction. This creates a fascinating, multi-dimensional blackout poem!\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Writing poetry can be a frustrating and confusing process, but it doesn’t have to be.

How to Blacktop a Driveway
|
1. Prepping the Driveway
1-1. Examine your driveway condition.
Blacktop patching material can't solve every problem. Take a look at damaged areas before deciding how to progress:
For depressions, thin cracks, and alligator cracks (cracks in a scaled pattern), repair them yourself as described below.
If the damage covers large areas of the driveway, or if there are long cracks more than ¼" (6mm) wide, the only permanent solution is to hire a contractor to remove and replace the driveway. Also consider this for any asphalt driveway approaching 20 years old.
Hiring a contractor to overlay the driveway with more blacktop is cheaper then replacement, but it is not recommended for driveways with drainage problems, or with large areas of alligator cracks.
1-2. Remove dirt and debris from the driveway.
Use a leaf blower, compressed air blower with nozzle wand, or broom to clear away dirt, dust, and loose stones.
1-3. Trim the grass and weeds away from the edges of the driveway.
If there is heavy weed growth, you may want to spray the vegetation with a long-lasting herbicide at least two weeks prior to starting the project. This will ensure the plants do not grow back.
If grass or weeds are growing in cracks in the driveway, scrape them out with a screwdriver, then sweep the cracks with a whisk broom.
1-4. Scrub away any grease spots.
Apply a heavy degreasing detergent and scrub with a sturdy wire-bristled brush.
Avoid using solvent-based cleaners. They will leave unseen residue behind, which will have an adverse effect on the blacktop's adhesion.
1-5. Fill in the subsurface for deep holes.
If an area of the driveway has broken off and revealed the subsurface underneath, fill the hole with dirt, gravel, or sand until it is level with the rest of the subsurface.
2. Filling Potholes and Deep Depressions
2-1. Wear protective clothing.
Put on gloves, protective eyewear, and long sleeves and trousers before handling the blacktop. Check the product label for safety instructions.
2-2. Select a cold pour pothole patching material.
Blacktop (asphalt) repair products come in a couple different varieties. The asphalt pothole patching material is the best choice for missing chunks of asphalt (potholes), and for depressions deeper than 2 inches (5 cm). You'll want a cold pour product for home repairs, since hot pour products require specialized machines.
2-3. Cut the hole to form straight edges.
You can skip this step to save on labor, but the patching material will create a stronger, longer-lasting bond in a hole with vertical edges. An asphalt saw is the easiest way to achieve this, but you can use a hammer and chisel to break the edges of the hole instead.
Clean away any dust and broken asphalt created by this process.
2-4. Pour on a layer of patching material.
Pour it directly from the bag until you've added a ½ to 1" (1.25 to 2.5 cm) layer throughout the hole. For larger holes, spread the material around with a rake or shovel.
It's not a problem if the material spills over onto the surrounding surface.
2-5. Tamp it down.
Push the patching material down with a pothole tamper, vibrating plater, lawn roller, or any other heavy object.
For a large area, you can oil a piece of plywood to prevent sticking, then place it oiled side down over the patch. Drive over the plywood to compact the material underneath.
2-6. Repeat until the hole is filled.
Continue applying and compacting layers of patching material until the hole is level with the surrounding driveway. Using layers no thicker than 1" (2.5cm) will help prevent air spaces from forming and weakening the repair.
2-7. Seal the area when conditions allow.
Applying an asphalt sealer over the repair will make it more durable. However, you can only apply the sealer in certain conditions:
Wait at least 4 hours for the patch to cure, or as directed on the label instructions.
Wait until the weather is at least 60ºF (16ºC), the driveway is dry, and you don't expect rain. If the sealer gets wet before it cures, some of the patching material may be washed away.
3. Filling Cracks and Minor Depressions
3-1. Follow safety instructions.
Check all product labels for safety instructions before you begin. Gloves, work clothing, and protective eyewear are all recommended.
3-2. Fill small cracks with asphalt crack filler.
If you have single cracks less than ¼" (6mm) wide, use asphalt crack filler. Check the label for application instructions or apply as follows:
Shake the bottle to mix the product evenly.
Cut off the top of the nozzle so the opening is narrower than the crack. (If there is no nozzle, load the product into an asphalt caulk gun instead.)
Squeeze the filler directly into the crack until it is flush with the driveway.
Let dry for 24 hours. If the filler has sunk below the driveway surface level, apply an additional coat.
Wait at least 24 hours after the final coat before walking or driving over the repair.
3-3. Buy alligator asphalt patch for more serious cracks.
This material is intended for "alligator scale" or "spiderweb" crack patterns, single cracks wider than ¼" (6mm), and small depressions shallower than 2" (5cm).
If the alligator cracks are severe, chunks of the asphalt may be fully separated from the driveway. You may achieve a stronger repair if you remove these entirely, then refill the hole using the pothole method above.
3-4. Spread the alligator patching material with an asphalt squeegee.
Pour a little of the material onto the center of the damage. Spread it out with an asphalt squeegee (or an asphalt brush) until the damage is covered with ⅛ to ¼" (3 to 6 mm) of material.
Check the label instructions first. Some products may need to be mixed in a bucket before application.
3-5. Repeat until level.
Spread on additional alligator patching material until the cracked area or depression is level with its surroundings.
For a more even transition, squeegee out a thin layer one or two feet (0.3 to 0.6m) in each direction.
3-6. Let dry.
The material will harden over the course of a few hours, depending on climate and depth of the repair.
3-7. Repeat if needed.
Thick repairs may crack slightly over the course of a few days. Apply an additional thin coat if this happens.
3-8. Allow 24 hours for the blacktop to dry and cure before parking or walking on the driveway.
Tips
To maintain the surface of your blacktop, avoid resting heavy items, such as motorcycle kickstands or picnic tables, on it too long as they will eventually cause indentations.
Warnings
Never return any unused blacktop to the can, as it will shorten the shelf life and build pressure, which may cause the lid to pop off of the can.

How to Blanch Almonds
|
1. Steps
1-1. Use raw almonds.
Make sure the almonds are completely plain - they shouldn't be roasted, oiled, or salted.
1-2. Bring a small pot of water to the boil
Once boiled, take the saucepan off the heat and place on a hot pad.
1-3. Place the almonds in the boiled water for exactly one minute.
If you leave the almonds in the water any longer they will lose their crispness.
1-4. Drain off the hot water and rinse the almonds.
Drain the almonds using a colander or strainer and rinse well under cold water until they are cool enough to handle.
1-5. Dab the almonds dry.
Use a little paper towel to dab off any excess moisture. The skin of the almonds should look slightly wrinkled.
1-6. Carefully pinch off the skins.
Grip each almond between your thumb and index finger and pinch. The almond should slide right out of its skin.
You can prevent the almond from flying across the room by using your opposite hand to form a shield and catch the slippery little almond!
Sometimes the skin won't come off so easily and you'll have to you your thumbnail to scrape off any remaining skin.
1-7. Leave to dry.
Depending on the recipe you're using, you may need to leave the blanched almonds to dry. If this is the case, simply lay them on a baking sheet for a few days, shaking the pan to turn them occasionally.
Avoid drying the almonds in the oven, as this will end up roasting the nuts, which is not what you want.
1-8. Finished.
Tips
If the almonds are being particularly stubborn while you are trying to take off the skins, put them back in the water for a little longer.
Warnings
Use common sense when working with the boiling water; don't reach into it to pull out the almonds. Use a spoon or other utensil instead.

How to Blanch Asparagus
|
1. Cooking the Asparagus
1-1. Wash your asparagus in cool water to remove superficial dirt.
Before you blanch your asparagus, make sure it is clean. Hold the stalks underneath cool water from your sink for 10-30 seconds.
1-2. Trim the ends off of your asparagus.
To easily chop off the ends, place the asparagus on a cutting board so all of their ends are aligned. Then, use a large, sharp knife to slice off the bottom fourth of the asparagus stems. Remove the white, thick end from the green, slim stalk. Make 1 chop across all of your ends to easily remove it.
The ends are less flavorful and chewier, making them undesirable to eat.
1-3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil using a high heat setting.
To blanch your asparagus, fill a large pot about halfway full with water from your sink. Then, place the pot on your stovetop and select a high heat setting.
Your water should come to a boil in about 5 minutes.
1-4. Add salt to your water if you want to enhance the flavor.
Sprinkle your salt into the water as soon as you turn on the heat. Use about 2 tablespoons (29.6 grams) per 6 cups (1,400 millilitres) of water.
While adding salt is optional, it helps season the asparagus and help it retain nutrients.
1-5. Put your asparagus in the water once it starts to boil.
After you see bubbles brewing from your pot, place your clean, trimmed asparagus into the water using your hands. Then, use a slotted spoon or pair of tongs to submerge the asparagus completely in the water.
As you do this, be careful not to burn yourself on the hot pot or from the steam.
1-6. Let the asparagus cook for 2-4 minutes.
Your asparagus will be fully cooked in roughly 3 minutes. As they cook, keep an eye on the color of the asparagus.
Your asparagus is ready when the stalks are bright green.
2. Submerging the Asparagus in Ice Water
2-1. Prepare an ice bath as the asparagus is cooking.
After you place the asparagus in boiling water, grab a large bowl and fill it with ice. Then, cover the ice in cold water from your sink. Place the bowl next to the stovetop so you can easily transfer the asparagus.
2-2. Transfer the asparagus to an ice bath immediately after it cooks.
After about 3 minutes or so, grab your tongs and pinch your asparagus with them. Ensure the asparagus is a bright green color before you take it out of the boiling water. As soon as you lift the asparagus out of the water, drop it into your bowl of ice water. Soak the asparagus for about 1-3 minutes until it is cooled down completely.
If you overcook your asparagus, it will get soggy and turn a shade of dark green.
The cold water stops the cooking process and softens your asparagus.
2-3. Set the asparagus on a clean towel after about 3 minutes.
After the asparagus cools down, remove it from the ice water and place it on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat the stalks dry to remove the excess water.
3. Serving and Storing the Asparagus
3-1. Eat your blanched asparagus plain if you want a healthy snack or side.
After your asparagus is dry, you can simply grab a fork and dig in! Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top if you’d like some extra flavor.
For example, you can serve your plain asparagus with a veggie tray for a yummy appetizer. Add fresh carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower for a full spread. Don’t forget the veggie dip!
3-2. Chop up your asparagus if you want to put it in a salad.
Take your sharp knife, and chop your asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Then, toss the bits with chopped romaine and/or spinach. Add toppings like dried cranberries and goat cheese for a yummy, healthy dish.
You can add asparagus to any salad you’d like!
3-3. Cover your asparagus with balsamic vinegar if you want a tasty sauce.
To do this, place your asparagus on a serving platter or onto individual serving plates. Whisk up 3 tablespoons (44.4 millilitres) of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons (29.6 grams) minced of red onion, 2 tablespoons (29.6 millilitres) of olive oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a sprinkling of black pepper. Then, pour the mixture over top of your asparagus.
This makes a delicious side dish or appetizer.
This mixture is great for 4 servings of asparagus.
To serve your asparagus warm, throw the mixture into a medium-sized skillet and heat it up for 2-3 minutes.
3-4. Serve the asparagus with olive oil and Parmesan for a yummy topping.
Put your asparagus into a bowl, and mix in 2 tablespoons (29.6 millilitres) of olive oil, 2 tablespoons (29.6 grams) of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 grams) of lemon zest. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, if you’d like. Mix the ingredients all together thoroughly, then serve it in a platter or individual plates.
If you’d like to serve your asparagus warm, you can skip the ice bath and mix the ingredients while the asparagus is still hot.
3-5. Refrigerate your blanched asparagus for up to 3-5 days.
For best results, refrigerate your asparagus within 2 hours of blanching it. Wrap the asparagus securely in plastic wrap, and place it in an airtight container, such as Tupperware. Secure the lid, and place the container inside your fridge.
Eat or freeze your asparagus within about 3 days.
3-6. Freeze your asparagus
Line your baking tray with parchment paper, and spread the asparagus stalks across the tray. Place the tray in your freezer for 1-3 hours until the asparagus is completely frozen. Then, take the tray out of the freezer. Pack the freezer bag full of your frozen asparagus. Then, squeeze out as much air as you can. Place the bag in your freezer, and store your asparagus for 8-12 months.
When you line the tray, leave a bit of room in between the stalks.
Alternatively, place your frozen asparagus in a freezer-safe container, like a Tupperware bin.
You can use a marker to label the bag or container with the date you froze it, if you’d like.
To cook with frozen asparagus, remove the stalks as needed.
Tips
Use fresh asparagus for best results. If you wait more than 3 days to cook the asparagus, it can loose its firmness.

How to Blanch Beans
|
1. Blanching the Beans
1-1. Use this method for any raw, fresh beans.
The method is almost identical regardless of what beans you are blanching. While one reason to blanch is to preserve the bright color of green beans or lima beans, any fresh bean benefits from blanching to preserve its flavor and nutrients.
Dried beans require different cooking methods, since blanching will not fully cook them.
1-2. Wash the beans under fresh running water to remove any debris and dirt.
To wash beans, you can place them in a colander or right in the clean prep sink. The blanching should remove dirt as well, so you do not need to clean the beans thoroughly.
Alternatively, you can fill the prep sink with cool water, bathe the beans, and drain.
1-3. If preparing green beans or other long beans, cut off the thick stem end with a small knife.
It is not necessary to remove both ends of the bean.
If the beans are particularly long you may choose to cut them in half. This will not affect the blanching process, but may make them easier to include in a salad or other dish.
1-4. Boil a pot of water.
Heat a pot of water to boiling, using approximately one gallon for each pound of beans (8 liters of water per kilogram of beans). If you are only blanching a handful or two of beans, you do not need to measure precisely.
Optionally, add salt to the water for flavor.
Leave enough space in the pot to fit the beans. If the amount of water required does not fit within approximately 2/3 of the pot, use a larger pot or blanch the beans in multiple batches.
1-5. Prepare a bowl of chilled water.
Prepare the cold water bath while the water is boiling, since the beans will only take a few minutes to boil. The water will work best if it is 60ºF (15.5ºC) or below, in order to rapidly cool the beans before they begin to lose nutrients and flavor.
Ice is recommended to keep this water cold. If you are blanching a large quantity of beans, use approximately equal amounts of ice and beans by weight.
If the cold tap water from your sink stings or numbs your hand, it is cold enough to use. This water will warm to room temperature quickly, however, so if you are not using ice you may wish to fill the water bowl toward the end of the boiling process. Replace the water frequently to keep it cold if you are blanching more than one pot of beans.
1-6. Boil the beans for about three minutes, using a timer.
Add the beans to the water and start timing them once the water has returned to a boil. Boil green beans and other long beans for 3 minutes. Other types of bean, including lima, butter, and pinto beans, will require 2 to 4 minutes depending on size. The beans will look bright green and taste cooked but still crisp when they are done blanching.
If the water takes more than 60 seconds to return to a boil, you may be using too much water. Reduce the amount of water next time to avoid losing flavor and nutrients.
If you have a blanching or steaming basket, you may place the beans inside it and lower it into the water. This makes it possible to remove the beans without draining your water, which can then be used to blanch the next batch of beans or cook other foods.
1-7. Chill the beans.
Once the beans are ready, remove the beans from the boiling water and submerge them in the cold water bath until they are cold to the touch. Removing the beans from the hot water can be accomplished by draining the beans through a strainer, or by lifting out the blanching basket if you used one. You can also use tongs, a spider, or a slotted spoon.
This sudden chilling process is sometimes called "shocking".
Leave the beans in for approximately 3 minutes if you are not sure whether they are cool.
1-8. Drain the cooled beans.
Once the beans are cold, drain away the ice water or remove them from the bath with a slotted spoon. Your beans are now blanched and ready to use in a salad, casserole, or stir fry. Because the blanching process has sealed in nutrients and color, the blanched beans will also preserve at a higher quality if frozen.
2. Freezing the Beans after Blanching
2-1. Dry the beans after chilling.
Once the beans are blanched and chilled, they are ready for freezing. First, pat them dry to avoid ice crystals damaging the beans. You may use paper towels or a clean cloth.
2-2. Place the beans in freezer-safe containers.
You may use freezer bags with a resealable opening, or a vacuum sealer if you have one. If you are using a hard container, leave about 1/2 inch (1.25cm) of space at the top of the container to prevent it from cracking if the beans expand or form ice crystals.
To remove most of the air from a resealable bag, place a drinking straw into the mostly sealed opening and suck out the air. Remove the straw and seal the rest of the way.
2-3. Use within 10 months for highest quality.
If blanched correctly, the frozen beans should retain their flavor, color, and nutrients for 10–12 months. Using them within a few weeks will give you the best chance at high quality beans, however.
2-4. Thaw before using.
Remove the desired quantity of beans from the freezer and let thaw before using, or add directly to stir fries. Try to avoid refreezing food once its been thawed, as this may cause the beans to deteriorate in quality. Freezing the beans in small, separate containers may help prevent this.
Tips
If boiling or steaming is not possible, microwave the beans in small quantities until they are crisp but warm and cooked. Research shows this is not likely to be effective in preventing color, flavor, and nutrient loss.[8]

While some hard vegetables such as broccoli are typically blanched by steaming them above boiling water instead of submerging them, this is not necessary for beans. If you prefer to use a steamer, steam for 4 minutes 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes.[9]

If you are blanching the beans at an elevation of 5,000 ft (1,500m) or higher, increase the boiling time by 1 minute, checking on the beans halfway through.
Warnings
Boiling the beans for too short or too long a time can cause the beans to break down faster than they would with no blanching at all.[10]

How to Blanch Broccoli
|
1. Blanching with Water
1-1. Prep your broccoli.
Wash and cut the broccoli down to the desired size. Try to make all of your florets the same size to ensure they will all cook at the same rate.
1-2. Boil your water.
Fill a large heavy pot 2/3 of the way full with water. Cover the pot and place it on the stove over high heat.
Once the water has begun to boil add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. Adding salt to boiling water not only adds some seasoning to the water, but it also increases the boiling point of the water. This in turn assists in cooking your food more efficiently!
1-3. Prepare your ice water bath.
While you are waiting for your pot of water to boil, fill a large bowl with cold water and a few ice cubes. Set it aside.
1-4. Cook your broccoli.
Once your pot of water begins to boil, carefully place the cut broccoli into the boiling water. Begin counting blanching time once the water returns to a boil.
For florets that are approximately 1½" across, cook for about 3 minutes. Adjust cooking time accordingly for different sized florets. The broccoli can become tender with just about 45 seconds in boiling water, though.
The broccoli should be bright green and firm (though slightly softened) when you remove it.
1-5. Cool your broccoli down.
Either remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon or small sieve or drain the broccoli in a colander. Immediately place the broccoli in the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Remove the cooled florets from the cold water after 30 seconds and strain them again in the colander.
1-6. Serve.
As with other vegetables, blanching your broccoli can be the primary cooking method or it can be the first step before sauteing or stir-frying.
Secondary cooking methods (such as sauteing) primarily add flavor to vegetables and don't usually cook the vegetables as thoroughly as needed. Blanching is a great way to pre-cook vegetables to be added to sauté and stir-fry's.
2. Blanching with Steam
2-1. Clean and prepare your broccoli.
Cut the broccoli down into consistently-sized florets for uniform cooking.
2-2. Prep for steaming.
Fill a large pot with 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water and bring to a boil. Place your vegetables in a stem basket that sits above the water line. Cover the pot and prepare an ice water bath, as above.
Try to arrange the florets in a single layer to ensure the steam reaches all parts of the broccoli evenly.
2-3. Time your steam cooking.
When steam begin to escape, begin counting your blanching time.
Steam blanching broccoli takes approximately 5 minutes.
About half-way through the cooking time, remove the lid and make sure the broccoli is not clumping together and that it is all cooking evenly.
2-4. Stop the cooking process.
Once your broccoli has been blanched, remove the steam basket from the pot and immediately place the broccoli into the ice water bath.
2-5. Complete the blanching.
After the broccoli has cooled in the ice water, drain the broccoli in a colander and allow the florets to dry before eating or packing for freezing.
Tips
Use blanched broccoli as is for crudites with dip or in salads.
Reheat blanched broccoli for just 1 to 2 minutes when incorporating it into other dishes.
Freeze blanched broccoli in an air-tight plastic bag for later use.
Warnings
Blanching for longer than 2 minutes will cause the vegetable’s color to fade and create a soft, mushy texture.
Not using enough water and leaving vegetables partially exposed will result in uneven cooking. Be sure to use plenty of water to cover the broccoli when blanching.

How to Blanch Cabbage
|
1. Softening Cabbage Leaves
1-1. Bring a pot full of water and 1 tbsp (17 g) of salt to a boil.
Fill a large pot two-thirds of the way with water and add 1 tbsp (17 g) of salt to add flavor. Warm the pot over high heat until the water starts to boil, then reduce the stove to medium heat.
1-2. Peel the number of leaves you need off of the cabbage head and rinse them.
Grab the top of the leaf and slowly pull it down the head of the cabbage. Remove the leaves slowly so they don’t rip or break. Once you reach the bottom, snap the leaf’s stem off the head. Keep taking off leaves until you have as many as you need. Run the leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit on them.
You can keep the leaves whole or shred them.
1-3. Put the cabbage leaves in the water for 2-3 minutes.
Drop the cabbage leaves into the boiling water and completely submerge them. Leave them in the pot for 2-3 minutes so the leaves can soften. The cabbage leaves should still have a vibrant color once you’re finished.
If your pot can’t fit all of the leaves, blanch 4-5 at a time using the same water.
Put shredded cabbage in a wire basket so you can remove the cabbage easier once it’s finished blanching.
1-4. Transfer the leaves into a bowl filled with ice water for 2 minutes.
Use a pair of tongs to remove the cabbage leaves from your pot and put them in a large bowl filled with cold water and ice. Stir the leaves gently in the bowl to immediately chill the cabbage.
If you’re using shredded cabbage, either dip the wire basket into the ice water or run cold tap water over it.
1-5. Remove the cabbage with a pair of tongs and dry them with a paper towel.
Grab the cabbage with your tongs and shake off any excess water. Set the leaves onto a piece of paper towel and pat them dry so they don’t get soggy.
If your cabbage stays wet, the flavor will change and the leaves won’t be as crisp.
Use the cabbage right away or keep it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
2. Blanching Cabbage for Freezing
2-1. Cut the cabbage head into quarters.
Use a chef’s knife to cut the head of cabbage in half from the top to the bottom. Set the halves on your cutting board so the cut side faces down. Cut the halves into 2 pieces so you have 4 cabbage wedges.
2-2. Boil water and salt in a large pot.
Fill the pot two-thirds of the way with water and add 1 tablespoon (17 g) of salt. Turn your stove on high heat and let the water come to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, reduce it to medium heat.
The salt helps add flavor to the cabbage and brings the water to a boil faster.
2-3. Put 2 of the cabbage wedges into the water for 2-3 minutes.
Drop the wedges into the boiling water and completely submerge them. Let the wedges boil for at least 2-3 minutes so they’re slightly softened and still have a vibrant color.
If you have a large enough pot, you can put all 4 wedges in at the same time.
2-4. Remove the pieces from the water and dry them with a paper towel.
Use a pair of tongs to lift the wedges out and shake off any excess water. Set them on a clean piece of paper towel and allow them to cool at room temperature. Once the cabbage is cool enough to touch, pat it dry with paper towel.
You may speed up the cooling process by submerging the cabbage wedges in ice water for 2 minutes.
2-5. Keep the cabbage in freezer-safe resealable bags.
Put the wedges into 1 large bag or separate serving size bags. Squeeze out all the air before sealing the bags, and label them with the date you put them in the freezer. Whenever you need cabbage, thaw it in the fridge 24 hours before you plan on using it.
Blanched cabbage can be stored in the freezer for 10-12 months.
Use a vacuum sealer to efficiently remove the air from your bags.
Tips
Discard any wilted or insect-damaged leaves before you start blanching your cabbage.

How to Blanch Carrots
|
1. Preparing Carrots for Blanching
1-1. Wash and peel the carrots.
After rinsing, use a vegetable peeler to peel the outer skin. This will improve the taste and texture of the blanched carrots, and make them look more appealing.
1-2. Slice the carrots.
Carrots will blanch more quickly and have an improved texture if you cut them into smaller pieces. This helps them cook evenly and prevents you from having to cook them too long. Chop off the root end and trim any bruised areas, then slice the carrots into smaller pieces.
Slice them into medallions for a great salad add-on.
Slice them into sticks for a convenient snack.
Slice them into quarters if you're planning on freezing them for later use.
Try to make sure the carrot pieces are the same size, so they'll cook evenly.
2. Blanching the Carrots
2-1. Prepare a bowl of ice water.
You'll need this to stop the carrots from cooking after you boil them.
2-2. Heat a saucepan of water.
Use a saucepan large enough to hold the carrots, and fill it about 3/4 the way full. Heat the water on the stove top on the highest heat. Season the water to taste by adding salt. Wait until the water is at a high rolling boil.
2-3. Add the carrots to the water and set a timer for 2-5 minutes.
Generally allow more time for full size carrots as opposed to baby or chopped carrots. Stay near the stove and take the carrots off the heat as soon as the timer goes off.
2-4. Transfer the carrots to the bowl of icy cold water.
Set the timer and let them cool for the same amount of time as they spent blanching. If they blanched for 3 minutes, let them cool for 3 minutes.
2-5. Take them out of the water when the timer goes off.
Drain the carrots and pat them dry with a paper towel. Use straight away if desired or set aside to use in another recipe.
2-6. Finished.
Warnings
Be careful when taking carrots in and out of boiling water.

How to Blanch Cauliflower
|
1. Boiling
1-1. Cut the cauliflower into 1 in (2.5 cm) florets.
While the water comes to a boil, rinse your fresh cauliflower. Take a sharp knife and cut evenly-sized florets. Cutting even pieces will ensure that the cauliflower blanches in a uniform way.
1-2. Bring a large pot of water to boil.
Fill a large pot about 3/4 full of water and set it on the stove. Put the lid on the pot and turn the burner to high. The water should come to a vigorous boil before you add the cauliflower.
Since the cauliflower will float to the top of the water, ensure that whatever pot you use is large enough to comfortably hold as much cauliflower as you like. Then fill the pot 3/4 full of water.
1-3. Boil the cauliflower florets for 3 minutes.
Carefully lift off the lid from the pot and add the cauliflower florets. Leave the lid off of the pot as the cauliflower cooks.
Keep in mind that the cauliflower will not become completely soft. It should just become a little tender after it's boiled for 3 minutes.
1-4. Drain the cauliflower through a strainer.
Set a strainer or cauliflower in a sink. Turn off the burner and pour the cauliflower through the strainer so the hot water drains.
Use caution when you lift the pot of hot water.
1-5. Make an ice bath.
Fill a large bowl with ice and pour in enough cold water to come about 3/4 of the way up the sides. You'll need the extra space at the top of the bowl to allow for the cauliflower.
1-6. Put the cauliflower in the ice bath for for 3 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower to the ice water. Push down on the cauliflower so it's submerged in the ice water and chill it for 3 minutes.
Putting the cauliflower in the ice bath stops the florets from cooking.
1-7. Place the blanched cauliflower in a strainer to drain.
Lift the cauliflower out of the ice water and put it in a fine mesh strainer. The water should drain from the cauliflower. Use the cauliflower or dry it before you store it.
2. Steaming
2-1. Place a steamer basket in a pot with 1 in (2.5 cm) of water.
Set an expandable metal steamer basket into a pot and pour the water down the side of the pot. Put the lid on the pan.
The steamer basket should be about 1 in (2.5 cm) above the water. Ensure that the basket doesn't touch the water.
2-2. Trim the cauliflower and bring the water to a boil.
Turn the burner to high so the water begins to boil. While you're waiting for the water to heat, rinse as much cauliflower as you'd like to blanch. Use a sharp knife to trim the cauliflower into 1 in (2.5 cm) florets.
If you'd like to blanch a few heads of cauliflower, you may need to steam them in batches.
2-3. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam it for 4 1/2 minutes.
Once the water boils, lift up the lid from the pot and place the cauliflower florets in the steamer basket. Put the lid back on the pot and set a timer for 4 1/2 minutes.
2-4. Fill a bowl with ice water.
While the cauliflower steams, fill a large bowl with ice. Pour enough cold water into the bowl to come about 3/4 of the way up the sides.
While there's no set amount of ice water per pound of cauliflower, you do need to use enough ice water so that the cauliflower can be completely submerged.
2-5. Transfer the cauliflower to the ice bath and chill it for 4 1/2 minutes.
After the cauliflower has steamed, turn off the burner. Carefully lift the steamer basket up and out of the pot. Put the cauliflower into the ice water so the florets are covered and leave them to chill completely.
The ice water will stop the cauliflower from cooking further.
Use caution when you lift the hot steamer basket out of the pot.
2-6. Drain the blanched cauliflower.
Use a slotted spoon to lift the cold cauliflower out of the ice water. Place it in a fine mesh strainer so excess water drips out of the cauliflower. Then you can use or store the blanched cauliflower.
3. Using or Storing Blanched Cauliflower
3-1. Dry the blanched cauliflower before you store it.
Lay paper towels on a plate or baking sheet and transfer the drained cauliflower florets onto it. Use the paper towels to pat the florets completely dry.
The paper towels will absorb excess moisture that could cause the cauliflower to spoil.
3-2. Refrigerate blanched cauliflower for up to 3 to 5 days.
Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a shallow airtight storage container. Put the container in the refrigerator and chill the cauliflower for up to 3 to 5 days.
3-3. Freeze the blanched cauliflower for up to 6 months.
Spread the blanched cauliflower in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer and leave the cauliflower to freeze completely. This should take about 1 hour. Transfer the frozen cauliflower to airtight containers and freeze them for up to 6 months.
Remember to label and date the containers of cauliflower.
To use the frozen cauliflower, roast them directly from the freezer, add the frozen florets to soups, or boil the cauliflower and mash it until it's smooth.
3-4. Roast the blanched cauliflower.
Arrange the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet so the florets are in a single layer. Toss the cauliflower with a few spoon-fulls of vegetable or olive oil and salt and pepper according to your taste. Bake the cauliflower in a 425 °F (218 °C) oven for 30 minutes.
The roasted cauliflower should become browned and very tender once it's finished cooking.
Use your favorite spices or herbs such as Italian seasoning, za'atar, or curry.
3-5. Puree blanched cauliflower to make soup.
Sauté your onions, garlic, or shallots in a little butter and add blanched cauliflower to the pot. Cover the vegetables with vegetable broth, chicken broth, or half-and-half. Then use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients until they're smooth.
Season the soup with spices, herbs, or fragrant cheese such as Parmesan or Stilton.
Tips
If you plan on using the blanched cauliflower immediately, you can season it before you boil or steam it. Avoid seasoning cauliflower that you plan on freezing.
Warnings
Avoid blanching cauliflower in the microwave since it's ineffective at stopping enzymes from breaking down the vegetable.

How to Blanch Corn
|
1. Blanching Corn on the Cob in Boiling Water
1-1. Prepare corn for blanching.
Remove husk from corn completely. Peel down the outer green and leafy covering from the corn. Discard husk or compost it.
Peel off and remove the silk from the corn. The grassy, hair-like strands can be pulled off by hand or with a soft vegetable brush, but don’t worry if you can’t remove every last one, they can be easily cleaned off after cooking.
Break off any excess stalk from the ear of corn. If more than an inch or two of fibrous stalk remains at the bottom of the ear, you can snap off the rest. Personal preference dictates how much stalk you wish to leave on, from a few inches to none at all.
Rinse corn to remove any dirt particles or excess silk.
1-2. Submerge corn in a large pot of cold water.
Select a pot that is large enough to completely cover all of the corn you plan to blanch with water.
Place corn in pot.
Fill pot with cold, clean water, using roughly one gallon of water for every two to three ears of corn. Allow for a few extra inches of water to remain above the corn, and three to four inches from the water line to the lip of the pot.
1-3. Bring pot of water with corn to a boil.
Turn heat to high and allow water to come to a boil.
1-4. Boil corn for seven to 11 minutes.
If you have small ears measuring one and a 1/4 inches in diameter, boil for seven minutes.
If your corn is medium sized and measures one and a 1/4 inches to one and 1/2 inches in diameter, boil for nine minutes.
And if your ears of corn are large, measuring over one and 1/2 inches in diameter, boil for 11 minutes.
1-5. Remove corn from boiling water and place in ice water bath.
Fill a large bowl or sink with cold water and ice to create ice water bath.
Carefully remove corn from boiling water using kitchen tongs.
Submerge corn in ice water bath. Change water periodically if water temperature rises above 60˚ F (15.6˚ C).
1-6. Drain corn from ice water bath.
1-7. Use or freeze corn.
If your corn is fresh and tender it may be ready to eat or you can further cook the corn by roasting it in the oven or by cooking the kernels with another method.
To freeze the corn, place entire blanched ears in freezer-proof bags or containers.
2. Blanching Corn on the Cob with Steam
2-1. Prepare corn for blanching.
Remove husk from corn completely. Peel down the outer green and leafy covering from the corn. Discard husk or compost it.
Peel off and remove the silk from the corn. The grassy, hair-like strands can be pulled off by hand or with a soft vegetable brush, but don’t worry if you can’t remove every last one, they can be easily cleaned off after cooking.
Break off any excess stalk from the ear of corn. If more than an inch or two of fibrous stalk remains at the bottom of the ear, you can snap off the rest. Personal preference dictates how much stalk you wish to leave on, from a few inches to none at all.
Rinse corn to remove any dirt particles or excess silk.
2-2. Prepare pot for steaming.
Choose a pot large enough to blanch two to four ears of corn at a time in a single layer depending on the size of your pot.
Place a metal steamer basket or mesh strainer at the bottom of the pot.
Add roughly two to three inches (five to seven cm) of water to the pot. Use enough water that the surface of the water is roughly an inch ( two and a 1/2 cm) below the steamer basket or strainer.
2-3. Place ears of corn in steamer basket in pot without overcrowding.
2-4. Cover pot and bring water to a boil.
2-5. Steam corn for approximately four minutes.
2-6. Plunge corn into ice water bath.
Fill a large bowl or sink with cold water and ice to create ice water bath.
Remove corn from pot using tongs or by carefully lifting steamer basket from pot.
Submerge corn in ice water bath. Change water periodically if water temperature rises above 60˚ F (15.6˚ C).
2-7. Use or freeze corn.
3. Blanching Whole Kernel Corn in Boiling Water
3-1. Bring water to boil in a large pot.
Use roughly one quart (one L) of water for each cup (250 mL) of kernels.
3-2. Pour whole kernels carefully into boiling water.
3-3. Boil kernels of corn for approximately four minutes or until tender.
3-4. Drain water from the corn kernels by pouring the pot over a strainer placed in the sink.
3-5. Plunge corn into ice water bath to stop cooking process.
3-6. Use or freeze whole kernels of corn.
4. Blanching Whole Kernel Corn with Steam
4-1. Prepare pot for steaming.
Choose a pot large enough to blanch one to two cups (250 to 500 mL) of whole kernel corn at a time.
Place a metal steamer basket or fine mesh strainer at the bottom of the pot.
Add roughly two to three inches (five to seven cm) of water to the pot. Use enough water that the surface of the water is roughly an inch ( two and a 1/2 cm) below the steamer basket or strainer.
4-2. Pour kernels of corn into steamer basket or strainer.
4-3. Cover pot and raise heat to bring water to a boil.
4-4. Steam kernels of corn for approximately four minutes or until tender.
4-5. Remove steamer basket or strainer with corn from the pot carefully.
4-6. Plunge corn into ice water bath to stop cooking process.
4-7. Use or freeze whole kernels of corn.
Tips
Before buying corn, gently feel the kernels through the husk to find ones that are plump and plentiful. This also avoids the unnecessary trend of peeling husks before purchase.[8]
X
Research source
Choose corn that has bright green husks and yellow silk for the freshest ears.[9]
X
Research source
When purchasing corn, avoid ears that have small brown holes towards the top of the husk, as they are likely due to worms or some other undesirable infestation.
Warnings
Carefully remove lid from boiling or steaming water to avoid steam burns or scalding water splashes.
Use oven mitts or hot pads and long tongs when removing corn from boiling or steaming water to avoid burns.

How to Blanch Green Beans
|
1. Blanching Your Beans
1-1. Prepare your green beans.
Rinse your beans thoroughly with water and snap the ends off of each bean.
Only snap about a quarter inch off of the ends. Try to leave as much of the bean intact.
Snapping too much off the ends leaves the inside of the bean exposed. This can cause a loss of flavor and crunch when boiling them in water.
You can also fill your prep sink with cool water—simply bathe the beans and drain.
1-2. Salt a large pot of water.
Salting is crucial for seasoning the beans as well as preserving their natural taste.
Though you do not have to include salt in your water, doing so will help prevent nutrients and flavors from seeping out of your beans. Salted water has a higher density than the water inside the beans. This helps keep most of the taste concealed in your beans rather than having them leak into the boiling water.
Salt your water liberally. The general rule of thumb is that blanching water should be "ten times saltier than the sea." If you have trouble judging by taste, simply add a couple of tablespoons of kosher salt for every quart of water in your pot.
Salting your beans generously helps maintain that bright green color, which is great if you intend on presenting a colorful dish. It also ensures that the beans will be seasoned evenly.
Don't worry about your beans tasting too salty. They will only be in the boiling water briefly and won't soak up as much salt as you think.
1-3. Place your pot of water on the stove to boil.
Make sure the water volume is at least twice as much as the amount of beans you intend to blanch.
Though you may be blanching only a few green beans, using a big pot is ideal because it minimizes the length of boiling time. The goal of blanching is to cook the beans as quickly as possible to avoid losing crunch and color.
Set your pot to high heat so your water can reach a rolling boil. Pay attention to the bubbles in your pot. Small bubbles forming at the edges of the pot are just air bubbles from the water and don't necessarily mean your water is boiling. When big bubbles begin to steadily stream from the bottom of the pot, your water is ready to go.
1-4. Prepare an ice bath.
An ice bath is essential for the second main step of blanching, which is "shocking" your beans in cold water to stop the cooking process.
Fill a large bowl with water that is cold or at room temperature. Grab some ice cubes from your freezer and distribute them evenly throughout the water.
Avoid preparing your ice bath early in your cooking process. The goal of shocking your beans is to stop the cooking that is still taking place inside the bean. Leaving your ice bath out at room temperature may decrease the effectiveness of shocking your beans.
Don't prepare the ice bath after the cooking process. Shocking needs to occur after beans have been boiled so that they do not become overcooked in their own steam. Also avoid preparing an ice bath while your beans boil. Since it is a quick process, you can easily lose track of time and overcook your beans.
1-5. Place your green beans into the boiling water a few at a time.
Let them sit in the water for 3 minutes.
Don't overcrowd your beans. Steadily distributing them will ensure even seasoning and cooking.
Taste a green bean a minute or so after boiling. It should taste crisp yet cooked.
If your green beans are tender, you have overcooked them.
1-6. Remove the green beans from the pot.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully scoop them out of the boiling water.
Don't feel rushed. Although blanching requires speed, it also requires care. You don't have to scoop out all of your green beans in one go.
1-7. Place your green beans in the ice bath immediately.
As you scoop out the beans from your water, immerse them evenly in the bowl of ice water.
Avoid setting your beans down on a surface before shocking them in water. The longer your beans sit, the more they continue to cook.
Keep your beans in the ice water until they have cooled down completely. Removing them before they have fully cooled allows cooking to continue from the inside out, which can result in a mushy final product.
Also avoid keeping the beans in the ice bath for too long. If you can't feel any more warmth with your fingertips, the beans are likely cooled. Keeping the beans in the water for too long risks making them heavy and soggy.
1-8. Wrap the green beans in a paper towel.
Allow them to fully dry before eating or mixing them with other foods.
Pat your green beans while they are inside the paper towel. This will help speed up the drying process.
Skipping the drying process risks making the beans soggy and defeating the purpose of blanching, which is to achieve a crispy texture.
2. Other Blanching Techniques
2-1. Blanch your green beans in the microwave.
Substitute a casserole dish and microwave for a pot and stove.
The steps are generally the same as blanching on the stove with a few minor tweaks. Instead of keeping your green beans whole, chop them into small pieces. Put salt on them directly instead of in the water.
Fill a casserole dish with 3 US quarts (3,000 ml) of water. Place two cups of green beans into the dish and cover. Microwave the casserole dish for 5-6 minutes, stopping to stir at least twice throughout the cooking process. Shock and dry the beans as you normally would after boiling.
This technique is best for smaller quantities of green beans and for when you may not have access to a pot or stove. Know that microwaving may not be as effective as boiling when trying to achieve crunchier and brighter green beans.
2-2. Use steam to blanch your green beans.
Replace your pot and water with a basket and steam.
Use a pot with a tight lid and a steam basket that holds food at least three inches above the pot. Put an inch or two of water in the pot and bring it to a boil. Place your green beans in a single, even layer so that the steam reaches all parts quickly. Cover the pot with the lid and keep the heat on high for about 3-4 minutes. Shock and dry the green beans how you typically would.
Steam blanching, while a nice alternative to water blanching, is not as efficient. It takes approximately 1 1/2 times longer to steam blanch green beans than to water blanch them.
Using steam is typically advised for specific vegetables, such as broccoli or sweet potatoes. Though you can blanch all vegetables in steam, water blanching green beans is quicker and more effective.
2-3. Sauté your green beans
Though this is not a substitute for water blanching, it is a nice flavor supplement to your already crispy green beans.
After drying your beans, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter and Sauté the mixture for about 30 seconds. No exact measurements are required; just add enough oil and butter to fully coat your beans. Add the beans and continue to Sauté until they are coated in butter and heated through. Remove the beans from the skillet and add lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
For even greater flavor, mix red pepper flakes and garlic into your butter before sauteing your beans.
Tips
Support local farmers - get your beans from a co-op or a store that sells local goods. Local produce is better for the environment, your community, and your body!
Summer is green bean season. This is when you will find the most flavorful beans.
Warnings
Of course, be careful with boiling water.

How to Blanch Kale
|
1. Washing and Cutting the Kale
1-1. Soak the kale in water for 1 minute to loosen dirt and debris.
Fill a bowl or your sink with lukewarm water. Submerge the kale in the water, swishing it around with your hand. Any dirt and debris should wash off quickly.
Remove any ties or bands before putting the kale in the water.
1-2. Rinse the leaves under running water to remove dirt and bugs.
If you have fresh kale, you may notice some bugs attached to the leaves or stem. They can be hard to see but will come off under running water. While holding the kale under the water, run your fingers along the leaves and stem to knock off any remaining bugs or dirt.
The bugs are harmless, so you don’t have to throw away your kale if you spot them on it.
1-3. Fold kale leaves in half on a cutting board.
Shake the kale out to remove excess water, then begin arranging the kale for cutting. The easiest way to do this is to handle 1 leaf at a time. You will notice a tough, thick stem on the bottom of the leaf. Fold the leaf so its halves are stacked on top of each other.
When done correctly, the stem will be exposed and easily accessible.
1-4. Cut the stem away from the leaves.
Start at 1 end of the stem. Position your paring knife next to the stem, touching the kale leaves. Then, drag the knife along the stem, cutting through both leaves. Repeat this with the rest of your kale.
You should be able to sever the stem from both leaves at the same time this way.
The stems are tough, but they can be blanched separately and eaten.
1-5. Chop the leaves into smaller fragments.
Stack 2 leaves on top of each other. Chop the leaves into sections about 1.5 in (3.8 cm) wide. The exact size isn’t important, but try to keep the chunks the same size so they boil at the same rate.
If chopping 2 leaves at once seems difficult, you can slice the leaves 1 at a time.
You can blanch the leaves whole after removing the stem. However, they may be too large to fit in a pot or storage container.
2. Setting up the Blanching Stations
2-1. Fill a stockpot ¾ full with water.
There is no exact amount of water you need, since it depends on how much kale you want to blanch at a time. For larger batches of kale, choose the biggest stockpot you have. The water in the pot needs to cover the kale completely.
A good rule of thumb is to use 1 US gal (3.8 L) per 1 lb (0.45 kg) of kale.
If you have a lot of kale, you can blanch it in multiple batches to ensure it all fits in the pot.
2-2. Boil the water on the stove.
Turn the heat up high and wait for the water to bubble rapidly. When the water is at the right temperature, it won’t stop bubbling even if you stir it. This is called a rolling or roiling boil.
To reduce the wait time, cover the pot with a lid as it heats.
2-3. Add ice and water to a separate bowl.
The ice bath is what you use to rapidly cool the kale. You will need a bowl large enough to submerge each batch of kale you boil. Fill the bowl halfway full with cold water, then add at least a dozen ice cubes to chill it.
To blanch kale successfully, the water needs to be kept cold. Avoid letting it sit out too long before you begin boiling the kale.
Some home cooks rinse the kale under cold water, but your kale will come out crisper and fresher by utilizing an ice bath.
2-4. Lay out a large towel on a flat surface.
Spread a cloth kitchen towel out, making sure you have plenty of space for the kale. You may want to place a second towel over it or move the towel onto a baking tray to prevent water from leaking onto your counter.
You can also use paper towels. Double up the layers to ensure the water gets absorbed later.
3. Blanching the Kale
3-1. Drop handfuls of kale leaves into the boiling water.
Take the lid off the stockpot if you have it on there. Dump as much kale into the water as possible. If your batch is larger than the pot, boil the leaves 2 to 3 handfuls at a time.
You do not have to replace the water after each batch of kale you boil.
3-2. Stir the leaves into the water before covering the pot.
Use a wooden spoon to work all of the leaves into the water. Give them a quick stir to make sure they are all submerged. The water should continue to bubble despite this.
If you are not using a lid, the water may stop bubbling for as you stir. Wait for the water to return to a boil.
If the water stops bubbling, you may have too much kale in the pot.
3-3. Boil the kale for 2 minutes.
Set your timer quickly, since the kale will start boiling as soon as it hits the water. It only needs to be in the water for a short time. After its done, you can remove the kale and repeat the process with another batch.
If you have to wait for the water to bubble again, start the timer once the water returns to a boil.
3-4. Chill the kale in an ice bath for 2 minutes.
Take the kale out of the boiling water right away. You can use a slotted spoon to make this easier. Drop the kale into the icy water, submerging it. The cold water shocks the kale, preventing it from breaking down.
You can put another batch of kale in the stockpot while you wait. Remember to reset the timer.
3-5. Lay the kale on the towel in an even layer.
Lift the kale out of the ice bath using your spoon. Then, position the kale on the towels. Make sure none of the leaves are overlapping, since you want the excess water to drain off of them.
You can place the kale in a salad spinner first. Spin it to remove some of the excess water before transferring the leaves to the paper towels.
3-6. Roll the towel to squeeze excess water out of the kale.
Fold the towel carefully, keeping the kale inside of it. Press down on the folded towel to push more water out of the kale. The kale does not have to be completely dry before storage, but removing most of the water prevents it from getting soggy.
If you are unable to roll up the towel, get another paper towel and pat the leaves dry.
You can also squeeze the kale by hand to remove most of the excess water.
4. Storing and Using the Kale
4-1. Move the kale to resealable, airtight containers.
After you have finished blanching the kale, move it into a plastic bag or container. You can use zippered bags or lidded containers sold at many grocery stores. Squeeze the bag or container to push out as much air as possible before sealing it.
If you plan on storing the kale in freezer, make sure you use freezer bags or containers to keep out air and ice crystals.
4-2. Store blanched kale up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
Any kale you plan on using during the week does not need to be frozen. Make sure it is sealed properly in a plastic bag or container. It still eventually wilts, but it will last a little longer than raw kale.
Label the bags or bins so you know when the kale was blanched.
4-3. Freeze kale if you can’t use it right away.
Get a clean cookie sheet and spread the kale in a single, even layer over it. Pop the sheet into the freezer and wait 30 minutes. Afterwards, you can easily move the kale back into a resealable bag or bin for long-term freezer storage.
Frozen kale can last 8 to 12 months. Label the bags so you can keep track of how long they have been in the freezer.
4-4. Defrost frozen kale by leaving it on the counter for an hour.
Take the container out of the freezer, but don’t open it. You can then use the kale in a variety of recipes. Frozen kale can be added to any recipe that calls for lettuce or other greens. Try cooking it in olive oil, blending it into smoothies, or adding it to soups. It also works well as a part of sandwiches, pizza, or pasta dishes.
Thawed kale cooks within 1 or 2 minutes. Frozen kale will take slightly longer.
Tips
Salt causes the water in the stockpot to take longer to boil. You can add salt to flavor the kale, but it isn’t necessary.
Blanching kale allows it to hold onto its color, as well as many of its nutrients.
Kale that has been boiled too long appears wilted and gray. The nutrients leach into the water, which you can use to make a stock.

This is called a rolling or roiling boil.\\nTo reduce the wait time, cover the pot with a lid as it heats.\\n2-3. Add ice and water to a separate bowl.\\nThe ice bath is what you use to rapidly cool the kale. You will need a bowl large enough to submerge each batch of kale you boil. Fill the bowl halfway full with cold water, then add at least a dozen ice cubes to chill it.\\nTo blanch kale successfully, the water needs to be kept cold. Avoid letting it sit out too long before you begin boiling the kale.\\nSome home cooks rinse the kale under cold water, but your kale will come out crisper and fresher by utilizing an ice bath.\\n2-4. Lay out a large towel on a flat surface.\\nSpread a cloth kitchen towel out, making sure you have plenty of space for the kale. You may want to place a second towel over it or move the towel onto a baking tray to prevent water from leaking onto your counter.\\nYou can also use paper towels. Double up the layers to ensure the water gets absorbed later.\\n3. Blanching the Kale\\n3-1. Drop handfuls of kale leaves into the boiling water.\\nTake the lid off the stockpot if you have it on there. Dump as much kale into the water as possible. If your batch is larger than the pot, boil the leaves 2 to 3 handfuls at a time.\\nYou do not have to replace the water after each batch of kale you boil.\\n3-2. Stir the leaves into the water before covering the pot.\\nUse a wooden spoon to work all of the leaves into the water. Give them a quick stir to make sure they are all submerged. The water should continue to bubble despite this.\\nIf you are not using a lid, the water may stop bubbling for as you stir. Wait for the water to return to a boil.\\nIf the water stops bubbling, you may have too much kale in the pot.\\n3-3. Boil the kale for 2 minutes.\\nSet your timer quickly, since the kale will start boiling as soon as it hits the water. It only needs to be in the water for a short time. After its done, you can remove the kale and repeat the process with another batch.\\nIf you have to wait for the water to bubble again, start the timer once the water returns to a boil.\\n3-4. Chill the kale in an ice bath for 2 minutes.\\nTake the kale out of the boiling water right away. You can use a slotted spoon to make this easier. Drop the kale into the icy water, submerging it. The cold water shocks the kale, preventing it from breaking down.\\nYou can put another batch of kale in the stockpot while you wait. Remember to reset the timer.\\n3-5. Lay the kale on the towel in an even layer.\\nLift the kale out of the ice bath using your spoon. Then, position the kale on the towels. Make sure none of the leaves are overlapping, since you want the excess water to drain off of them.\\nYou can place the kale in a salad spinner first. Spin it to remove some of the excess water before transferring the leaves to the paper towels.\\n3-6. Roll the towel to squeeze excess water out of the kale.\\nFold the towel carefully, keeping the kale inside of it. Press down on the folded towel to push more water out of the kale. The kale does not have to be completely dry before storage, but removing most of the water prevents it from getting soggy.\\nIf you are unable to roll up the towel, get another paper towel and pat the leaves dry.\\nYou can also squeeze the kale by hand to remove most of the excess water.\\n4. Storing and Using the Kale\\n4-1. Move the kale to resealable, airtight containers.\\nAfter you have finished blanching the kale, move it into a plastic bag or container. You can use zippered bags or lidded containers sold at many grocery stores. Squeeze the bag or container to push out as much air as possible before sealing it.\\nIf you plan on storing the kale in freezer, make sure you use freezer bags or containers to keep out air and ice crystals.\\n4-2. Store blanched kale up to 7 days in the refrigerator.\\nAny kale you plan on using during the week does not need to be frozen. Make sure it is sealed properly in a plastic bag or container. It still eventually wilts, but it will last a little longer than raw kale.\\nLabel the bags or bins so you know when the kale was blanched.\\n4-3. Freeze kale if you can’t use it right away.\\nGet a clean cookie sheet and spread the kale in a single, even layer over it. Pop the sheet into the freezer and wait 30 minutes. Afterwards, you can easily move the kale back into a resealable bag or bin for long-term freezer storage.\\nFrozen kale can last 8 to 12 months. Label the bags so you can keep track of how long they have been in the freezer.\\n4-4. Defrost frozen kale by leaving it on the counter for an hour.\\nTake the container out of the freezer, but don’t open it. You can then use the kale in a variety of recipes. Frozen kale can be added to any recipe that calls for lettuce or other greens. Try cooking it in olive oil, blending it into smoothies, or adding it to soups. It also works well as a part of sandwiches, pizza, or pasta dishes.\\nThawed kale cooks within 1 or 2 minutes. Frozen kale will take slightly longer.\\nTips\\nSalt causes the water in the stockpot to take longer to boil. You can add salt to flavor the kale, but it isn’t necessary.\\nBlanching kale allows it to hold onto its color, as well as many of its nutrients.\\nKale that has been boiled too long appears wilted and gray.

How to Blanch Peaches
|
1. Setting up Your Work Station
1-1. Fill a pot three-quarters full of water and bring it to a boil.
Place a pot that's at least 3 quarts (2.8 liters) in size on the stove. Pour in enough water to come three-quarters up the sides of the pot and turn the burner on to high. The water should come to a vigorous boil.
If you want to blanch a lot of peaches, consider using a larger pot.
1-2. Place a bowl of ice water next to the stove.
Fill a large bowl with ice and then pour in enough cold water to come three-quarters up the side of the bowl. Set the bowl of ice water on the counter right next to the pot of boiling water.
It's important to leave some space in the bowl since the peaches will displace water.
1-3. Place a cutting board or dish next to the ice water.
You'll also need to set a cutting board, slotted spoon, and knife on your work surface. To prevent the cutting board from sliding around, lay a kitchen towel under the board.
Since blanching peaches is such a quick process, it helps to have all of your equipment ready and next to each other.
2. Putting the Peaches in Boiling Water
2-1. Select ripe peaches.
If you're using peaches that are completely hard, they won't blanch easily. Instead, look for peaches that are a little soft when you press them. They should also smell fragrant if they're ripe.
If you want to peel hard peaches, use a Y peeler to remove the skin.
2-2. Cut a shallow X on the bottom of each peach.
Take a sharp knife and cut an X that's about 2 in (5 cm) long on each peach. You don't need to cut deeply into the peaches. Instead, score shallow lines.
Scoring the peaches will make it easier to remove the peel once you've blanched them.
2-3. Put 4 peaches into the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds.
Carefully lower about 4 peaches into the boiling water. The peaches should be submerged, although you may need to take a slotted spoon and turn the peaches a little. Leave the peaches in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds.
If the peaches are on the riper side, use less time. If they're a little firm still, keep them in for 60 seconds.
Avoid leaving the peaches in the boiling water for several minutes or you'll overcook them.
3. Cooling and Peeling the Peaches
3-1. Transfer the peaches to the ice bath.
After 30 to 60 seconds in the boiling water, use a slotted spoon to scoop up the peaches. Immediately put them right into the ice water that's next to the stove.
Move quickly to get the peaches into the ice water. The ice water will shock the peaches and stop them from cooking.
3-2. Leave the peaches in the ice bath for 10 seconds.
If the peaches aren't completely submerged in the ice water, use the slotted spoon to roll the peaches a little. Keep them in the ice water until the skins have cooled.
3-3. Remove the peaches and pull off the skins.
Use the slotted spoon to lift the peaches out of the ice water and set them on the cutting board next to your bowl. Locate the X on the bottom of each peach and use your fingers to pull off the skins.
If the peel resists, you can use the knife to pull up an edge of the skin.
3-4. Cut the peaches and remove the pits.
Slice each of the peeled peaches in half and pull out the pit, if you used freestone peaches. If you used clingstone peaches, you'll have to cut the peach flesh away from the pit. Now you're ready to blanch another batch of peaches and use your peeled peaches.
Use caution when cutting the peeled peaches since they'll be slippery.
3-5. Use or freeze the blanched peaches.
If you plan on freezing the peaches, slice them and freeze them individually on a sheet. Once they're frozen hard, transfer them to an airtight storage container and put it in the freezer. Freeze the peaches for up to 12 months.
If you don't freeze the peaches on a sheet, they'll clump together when you freeze them. This can make it difficult to use them in a recipe.

How to Blanch Potatoes
|
1. Starting the Blanching Process
1-1. Peel the potatoes.
Using a vegetable peeler, carefully put pressure on the potato skin with the peeler’s blade. Run the peeler across the potato to remove the skin. Discard the skins in a trash can.
Some people prefer to keep the skin on for added nutrients. This does make the blanching process a bit longer. However, if you prefer the skins, you can skip the peeling process.
1-2. Cut the potatoes into the desired size.
You should dice your potatoes to blanch them, usually cutting them into small cubes. Depending on your recipe or preference, these cubes can be bigger or smaller. If you're making something like french fries, you should cut the potatoes into wedges rather than cubes.
Use a sturdy knife and a large, wooden cutting board. Place your potato on the cutting board to start.
Slice it in half lengthwise, making sure the knife cuts all the way through the potato. Some potatoes may be slightly harder to cut, so do not hesitate to use some force.
Take each half, and cut it into thirds lengthwise, creating large wedges. From here, you can cut these wedges into cubes. If you're making french fries, you can simply blanch the wedges.
1-3. Wash the potatoes.
Before adding the potatoes in the pot, it’s important to wash them to remove any starch. Get a colander and place the cut potatoes inside. Run the potatoes underwater in the sink for a couple of minutes, until all potatoes have been thoroughly washed. If there are any bits of dirt or discoloration on the potatoes, make sure to wash them out.
You can usually just wash potatoes with running water. If you notice any stubborn bits of dirt or grime, you can rub these out with your hands. Just make sure to wash your hands beforehand.
1-4. Cool a bowl of tap water to room temperature.
For blanching potatoes, you want to start with room temperature water. Pour some lukewarm tap water into a pot. Wait a few minutes for the water to reach room temperature.
You can usually test the water just by placing your finger in it, although you should wash your hands first.
Lukewarm tap water is usually around room temperature, so it should not take long for your water to get to the right temperature to blanch potatoes.
1-5. Place the potatoes over high heat until the water begins to simmer.
Once the water begins to simmer, reduce the heat right away. You should avoid overcooking your potatoes during the blanching process, as this can cause them to burn easily when you cook them for a recipe. Lower the heat until the water is barely simmering. You will usually have to keep the stove at medium or low heat.
Check your potatoes periodically. How long the process will take depends on how many potatoes you're blanching.
To avoid accidentally cooking the potatoes, err on the side of caution. Keep the stove more towards the low setting than the medium setting.
2. Continuing to Blanch Your Potatoes
2-1. Prepare an ice bath while the potatoes simmer.
You need to cool the potatoes in an ice bath after the simmering process. This will stop them from cooking, and can also preserve some of the color. Take a bowl big enough to fit all your potato slices. Fill it with water and add a few ice cubes until the water is chilly to the touch.
As always, wash your hands before touching the cold water.
2-2. Test the potatoes with a knife after 12 minutes.
It should take around 12 minutes for your potatoes to reach the right temperature. At this point, test them with a fork or knife.
The potatoes should be soft on the exterior, but you should not be able to easily pass a fork or knife through the potatoes. The tip of the knife or fork should just barely go into the surface of the potato. If the fork or knife can cut through the potatoes with ease, the potatoes are cooked and not blanched. You will have to start the process over.
2-3. Cook the potatoes for longer, if necessary.
If the potatoes are so hard you cannot get the tip of the fork or knife in, cook them for a couple more minutes and check again. Be vigilant about checking, however, as you do not want to accidentally cook the potatoes.
2-4. Remove the potatoes from the heat.
Once the potatoes are blanched, strain them over the sink using a colander or strainer. Then, transfer the potatoes to the ice bath. Leave the potatoes in the ice bath until they're cool to the touch.
Potatoes will cool quickly in the ice bath. Check them every few seconds and remove them as soon as they cool down adequately.
3. Using Your Blanched Potatoes
3-1. Pat the potatoes dry after they cool.
Remove the potatoes from the ice bath, straining them over the sink using a colander or strainer. Set them out on a few pieces of paper towel and pat them dry.
3-2. Roast, cook, or fry your potatoes.
If you're using the potatoes right away, you can proceed right to the cooking process. Blanched potatoes should roast or fry quicker than regular potatoes. You can simply start cooking according to your recipe's instructions.
Add spices to your potatoes. Potatoes can be a bit bland on their own, so experiment with different spices. You could go for spicy potatoes with something like cayenne pepper, or go for a savory taste with garlic salt.
You can purchase spice packets at your grocery store. You can, for example, by a cajun spice packet and pour this over the potatoes after cooking them.
3-3. Freeze the potatoes if you want to use them for later.
Blanching is often used prior to freezing vegetables to extend their shelf life. If you're freezing your potatoes, pack them into a sealable plastic container. Make sure to leave a half-inch of space between the potatoes and the container's lid.
You can also use a Ziplock bag. Just make sure to squeeze out as much air as you can.
For best results, freeze potatoes in a very cold freezer. This will help preserve them for the longest.
Tips
Prepare all supplies beforehand. It’s important to have your boiling pot of water and ice bath ready before starting. This way you aren’t spending precious time rushing to get supplies ready while your potatoes could be overcooking in the pot.
Avoid burning yourself with the boiling water. Wear an apron and long sleeves so the boiling water doesn’t directly burn your skin.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Starting the Blanching Process\\n1-1. Peel the potatoes.\\nUsing a vegetable peeler, carefully put pressure on the potato skin with the peeler’s blade. Run the peeler across the potato to remove the skin. Discard the skins in a trash can.\\nSome people prefer to keep the skin on for added nutrients. This does make the blanching process a bit longer. However, if you prefer the skins, you can skip the peeling process.\\n1-2. Cut the potatoes into the desired size.\\nYou should dice your potatoes to blanch them, usually cutting them into small cubes. Depending on your recipe or preference, these cubes can be bigger or smaller. If you're making something like french fries, you should cut the potatoes into wedges rather than cubes.\\nUse a sturdy knife and a large, wooden cutting board. Place your potato on the cutting board to start.\\nSlice it in half lengthwise, making sure the knife cuts all the way through the potato. Some potatoes may be slightly harder to cut, so do not hesitate to use some force.\\nTake each half, and cut it into thirds lengthwise, creating large wedges. From here, you can cut these wedges into cubes. If you're making french fries, you can simply blanch the wedges.\\n1-3. Wash the potatoes.\\nBefore adding the potatoes in the pot, it’s important to wash them to remove any starch. Get a colander and place the cut potatoes inside. Run the potatoes underwater in the sink for a couple of minutes, until all potatoes have been thoroughly washed. If there are any bits of dirt or discoloration on the potatoes, make sure to wash them out.\\nYou can usually just wash potatoes with running water. If you notice any stubborn bits of dirt or grime, you can rub these out with your hands. Just make sure to wash your hands beforehand.\\n1-4. Cool a bowl of tap water to room temperature.\\nFor blanching potatoes, you want to start with room temperature water. Pour some lukewarm tap water into a pot. Wait a few minutes for the water to reach room temperature.\\nYou can usually test the water just by placing your finger in it, although you should wash your hands first.\\nLukewarm tap water is usually around room temperature, so it should not take long for your water to get to the right temperature to blanch potatoes.\\n1-5. Place the potatoes over high heat until the water begins to simmer.\\nOnce the water begins to simmer, reduce the heat right away.

Fill it with water and add a few ice cubes until the water is chilly to the touch.\\nAs always, wash your hands before touching the cold water.\\n2-2. Test the potatoes with a knife after 12 minutes.\\nIt should take around 12 minutes for your potatoes to reach the right temperature. At this point, test them with a fork or knife.\\nThe potatoes should be soft on the exterior, but you should not be able to easily pass a fork or knife through the potatoes. The tip of the knife or fork should just barely go into the surface of the potato. If the fork or knife can cut through the potatoes with ease, the potatoes are cooked and not blanched.

How to Blanch Spinach
|
1. Using Boiling Water
1-1. Wash your spinach leaves
Before you blanch your spinach, rinse off the leaves in cool water from your sink for 10-20 seconds.
If you prefer to remove the stems from your spinach, do so at this time. Cut them off with a small, sharp knife.
1-2. Boil a large pot of water at high heat.
Fill up a large pot halfway with water, and place it on your stovetop. Then, use a high heat setting to bring the water to a boil.
If you’d like, you can add 1-2 tbsp (14.8-29.6 g) of salt to your water. While this is not required, it helps season the spinach and helps it retain nutrients.
1-3. Fill up a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.
As your water comes to a boil, locate a glass or plastic bowl and fill it with ice cubes. Then, cover the ice cubes with cold water from your sink. Set your bowl next to your stovetop so you can easily transfer your spinach once it boils.
1-4. Boil your spinach for about 30-40 seconds until it turns bright green.
When your water is boiling, place your spinach into the water. Use a slotted spoon to submerge the spinach in the boiling water. Once you drop in your spinach, set a timer for 30 seconds. The spinach is ready when it turns a bright green color.
Avoid overcooking your spinach. If the spinach is cooked too long, it turns a darker shade of green.
1-5. Submerge your spinach in the bowl of ice water for up to 1 minute.
Scoop up your spinach using a slotted spoon and immediately dunk the spinach into the ice water. Do this as soon as you remove it from the boiling water for best results.
Once the spinach is in the ice water, press down on the leaves with your spoon so they are totally submerged.
The ice water stops the cooking process so your spinach stays tender and retains its nutrients.
1-6. Place your spinach into a strainer to drain the water.
After about 30-60 seconds, scoop up your spinach with a slotted spoon, and place the leaves in a strainer. Push down on the spinach gently with your spoon to remove excess water.
Alternatively, you can pour the ice water and spinach directly into the strainer. If you do this, scoop out the ice from the strainer using a spoon or your fingers.
1-7. Squeeze out the water from the spinach using your hands.
To get rid of as much water as possible, grab the spinach in your hands and gently squeeze the leaves. Do this for all of your spinach.
If you don’t get rid of the excess water, your recipe or sauce can wind up too wet.
2. Blanching in the Microwave
2-1. Put your spinach in a microwave-safe bowl.
A microwave-safe bowl is made out of materials that will not catch fire or melt in the microwave. Use a glass, plastic, or ceramic container, and put at least 5 oz (147.9 g) of washed spinach inside.
To check if your container is safe for the microwave, look at the bottom. Most containers will read “Microwave-safe” if you can use them in the microwave.
2-2. Cover your spinach with water.
After you put your spinach in a container, pour in water until the spinach is covered.
2-3. Cook your spinach in the microwave on high heat for 2 minutes.
Place the container inside your microwave, and select a high heat setting. After 2 minutes, remove your spinach from the microwave.
Use caution when removing the spinach as the container may be very hot.
2-4. Place your spinach in ice water to stop it from overcooking.
Fill a bowl up with ice as the spinach cooks and cover the ice in cold water. Then, dump your spinach into the ice water after it finishes cooking.
This helps preserve the bright green color of your fresh spinach as well as maximize the spinach flavor and nutrient content.
2-5. Pour your spinach into a strainer to get rid of the water.
Immediately after your spinach is finished cooking, dump the contents of your container into a strainer. Pour out the water as you place your spinach inside.
You can also gently squeeze the spinach while it is in the strainer to get rid of more moisture.
3. Using Your Blanched Spinach
3-1. Use your spinach immediately if desired.
After you remove the excess water, it is ready to serve. Eat your spinach plain as a healthy side, or make delicious recipes with your spinach, such as palak paneer or a spinach salad.
Once you blanch your spinach, it will look much smaller than it did when you started out. A large bag of spinach turns into a palm-sized ball.
3-2. Refrigerate your spinach in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
If you want to store your spinach temporarily, place it in an airtight container. Then, refrigerate the spinach for 3-4 days.
3-3. Freeze
If you want to freeze your spinach, place it into a large freezer bag, and squeeze out any air. Then, stick it in the freezer. Plan use your spinach within 10-12 months.
To cook with your frozen spinach, simply remove it from the freezer and thaw it for 1-2 hours in the fridge.
Vegetables that are blanched before frozen retain significantly more of their nutrients than vegetables frozen without blanching.
Spinach is versatile and easy to cook. You can add it to many dishes in healthy ways.
Add to a pasta or grain dish by draining the pasta or grain right over the spinach in a colander.
Then saute in a pan with a bit of olive oil. It a heart-healthy fat.
Tips
Chop up your spinach with a potato masher if you want to enhance the flavor. Do this before you use your spinach in recipes or salads. You can also do this before you freeze your spinach. [19]
X
Research source
Using 5-6 oz of spinach yields about 1 cup of frozen spinach.
Warnings
Do not blanch spinach leaves that are yellow, wilted, or bruised.
Avoid storing spinach with tomatoes, apples, or melons. These crops cause spinach leaves to turn yellow, as they have ethylene. Spinach is very sensitive to ethylene.
If you leave the spinach in the boiling water for too long, the nutrients will break down.

How to Blanch Tomatoes
|
1. Getting Your Tomatoes Ready
1-1. Wash the tomatoes under cold water.
Gently run the tomatoes under cold tap water to remove any dirt or debris before you cook them. Slowly turn each tomato under the tap so that its entire surface is exposed to water.
Only use firm tomatoes that are glossy and deep red. Remove any tomatoes that have soft or rotten spots as you clean them.
1-2. Trim the stems using a small knife.
Insert the top 1 centimetre (0.39 in) of your knife into each tomato, with your thumb on the tomato and your remaining four fingers on the dull edge of the blade. Hold the bottom of the tomato with your free hand and cut in a circular direction around the stem.
If you're using a stem remover, insert the serrated teeth into the tomato and twist it around until it's as far as it can go. Afterwards, pull the tool directly out to remove the stem.
1-3. Cut a 1 inch (2.5 cm) "x" into the bottom of each tomato.
Hold a small, sharp knife above the tomato and gently drag it along the bottom. Cut the "x" deep enough to pierce the skin without going too much into the flesh. Creating an "x" will allow the heat from the boiling water to enter the tomato and loosen the skin, making it very easy to peel.
Each line should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long.
2. Boiling Your Tomatoes
2-1. Boil
Use a pot large enough to hold all your tomatoes and fill it about 3/4 of the way full. You should have enough water to fully submerge all of your tomatoes. Add 12 tablespoons of salt per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and then bring it to a rolling boil, which is when the water doesn't stop boiling when stirred.
Salt is not necessary, but it increases the boiling point of water. This helps it come to a more steady boil than unsalted water.
2-2. Prepare an ice water bath.
Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Set this bowl aside for now—it will be used to prevent the tomatoes from cooking too much after you boil them. Extended cooking can cause the tomatoes to get mushy.
If you're blanching more than a dozen tomatoes, create another ice water bath. About 1 per dozen should be fine.
2-3. Submerge the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds.
Don't submerge more than a dozen tomatoes at a time, as they will become too hard to manage.
You'll know the tomato is ready when its skin starts to peel back.
Smaller tomatoes might cook as quickly as 30 seconds. The time varies depending on tomato size.
Don't cook your tomatoes for too long – this can cause the flesh to get grainy and mushy.
3. Peeling and Storing Your Tomatoes
3-1. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon 1 at a time.
Gently remove each tomato from the water. Hold each tomato over a sink or empty bowl to minimize the amount of boiling water you bring with you.
Turn off the element heat before removing the tomatoes.
3-2. Plunge the tomatoes in the ice water for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Afterwards, remove them using your hands and place them on a cutting board. Use a clean rag to gently dry them off.
Turn each tomato around with your hand to make sure its entire surface is exposed to the ice water.
3-3. Peel away the skin starting from your "x" immediately after drying.
If the tomatoes have been cooked and cooled properly, the skin should peel off with little trouble using your hands. Use a sharp knife for tough spots by gently sliding it under the tomato skin and lifting.
Work slowly and take care not to cut the tomato flesh.
3-4. Place your skinned tomatoes onto cookie sheets and put them in the freezer.
Check on them after 1 hour—if they're not completely frozen, leave them in for another hour.
Gently squeeze each tomato when you check on them—if there are any soft spots, they need more time in the freezer.
3-5. Transfer your frozen tomatoes into freezer bags.
Seal each bag as tightly as possible to minimize the air inside and reduce spoilage. Afterwards, put them back in the freezer for a maximum of 8 months.
When using frozen tomatoes, you can remove them one at a time or all at once.
Signs of bad tomatoes include mold, discoloration, and a rancid odor.
Warnings
Make sure the knife you're using is sharp. Sharp knives are safer than dull ones because they require less force to do the same job, decreasing your chances of cutting yourself. Be careful and keep your fingers away from the blade whenever possible.

How to Blanch Vegetables
|
1. Boiling Water Method (Using Steamer Basket)
1-1. Wash and prepare vegetables as appropriate for the selected vegetable.
1-2. Pour 1 gallon of water into a pot.
1-3. Add a steamer basket to the pot.
1-4. Bring to a rolling boil.
1-5. Add 1 pound of vegetables.
Make sure all the vegetables are put into the basket in a single layer. This is done for even cooking.
1-6. Cover with a lid.
1-7. Bring the water back to a boil within 1 minute.
1-8. Blanch for specified time.
1-9. Remove blanched vegetables from boiling water.
1-10. Immediately place vegetables in ice cold water or in clean sink with running cold water.
This is called shocking the vegetables.
1-11. Drain.
1-12. Freeze.
Most cooks freeze vegetables in a single layer and then place in a freezer container. This makes it easier to use what you need when it comes time to use the frozen vegetable.
2. Boiling Water Method (No Steamer Basket)
2-1. Use a lot of water.
Use 2.8 litres/ 3 US quarts (3,000 ml) of water per 450 g / 1 pound of vegetables. There needs to be enough water to allow the vegetables to cook quickly; less water would cause the vegetables to stew and they will become limp, losing color, texture, and nutrition.
2-2. Cook the vegetables without a cover.
It is fine to cover the pot when bringing the water to the boil but the blanching part should be done without the lid. Otherwise, you will trap the volatile acids released by the vegetables during cooking and this will cause the vegetables to become limp and deteriorate in color.
2-3. Keep it at a high heat level.
Boiling water is important for keeping the green vegetables in top condition. The vegetables should be cooked as quickly as possible and boiling water will enable this.
2-4. Test if cooked as explained below ("Blanching Time Chart").
2-5. Serve immediately.
Drain and serve. Don't leave the vegetables to sit or they're freshness will deteriorate as they keep "cooking". If you must leave them rather than serve them immediately, plunge them into ice water and serve reheated or cold later (as explained above).
3. Steam Method
3-1. Bring water to a boil as directed.
3-2. Add vegetables to a steamer basket as directed.
3-3. Keep the basket above the water to allow the steam to cook the vegetables.
Steaming vegetables will take about 1 1/2 times longer to cook than when using the boiling water method.
4. Blanching Time Chart
4-1. Test for doneness.
To know when a vegetable is cooked by blanching, use a slotted spoon to remove a piece from the boiling water and taste it. If the texture is to your liking, it is done. As a general guide:
Leaf vegetables - removed and drain as soon as they stop being stiff

Tough greens, or strong-tasting greens - cook for up to 5 minutes, long enough to soften their texture and improve the flavor.

4-2. Use these general time guides to help you:
Asparagus, 4 minutes for a large spear
Green Beans, 3 minutes
Broccoli, 3 minutes (boiling water) 5 minutes (steamed)
Brussels Sprouts, 5 minutes for a large head
Carrots, small, 5 minutes
Carrots, sliced, 3 minutes
Corn, large ear, 11 minutes
Corn, kernels, 4 minutes
Green Peas, 1 1/2 minutes
New Potatoes, 3 to 5 minutes
Summer Squash, 3 minutes
Cabbage 30 seconds to 2 minutes
Tips
Use a spider to remove vegetables, if not using a steamer basket.

How to Blanch Zucchini
|
1. Washing and Chopping the Zucchini
1-1. Wash the zucchini with a brush then dry it.
Stand over the sink and place the zucchini under warm, running water. Use a vegetable brush to gently scrub the surface of the zucchini to remove any dirt. Continue rinsing the zucchini until the water runs clear and its skin looks clean. Pat the surface of the zucchini dry so that you won't have a wet, slippery vegetable when you begin chopping.
You can use a mild vegetable soap or hand soap to wash the zucchini if it is especially dirty. Make sure to only use a small amount of soap and rinse the vegetable thoroughly to remove it completely before boiling.
Use a dish-washing brush in case you don't have a vegetable brush handy.
1-2. Remove the ends of the zucchini with a chef's knife.
Place the zucchini on a cutting board, holding it firmly with one hand. Use the chef's knife to slice off each end of the zucchini about half an inch from the tip to remove the remnants of the stem and flower.
Make sure to handle the knife with care as it will be very sharp and could easily cut you. Never chop with the blade facing in the direction of your fingers.
These pieces are tough and unpleasant to eat.
You can either compost or dispose of the zucchini ends in the trash can.
1-3. Chop the zucchini into cubes that measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) square.
Cut the zucchini into two pieces lengthwise using your chef's knife. Place the two halves of the zucchini onto the cutting board with the flat sides facing down. This will ensure that it won't roll while you are chopping. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise again, then slice it in the opposite direction, perpendicular to the length-wise cuts, to create small cubes.
Make sure to use a sharp knife in order to easily make smooth cuts.
Depending on the size of your cutting board, you may need to place a bowl nearby so that you can transfer the cubes to it as your cutting board begins to fill up. Make sure to keep a clear workspace as you cut in order to avoid cutting accidents.
2. Boiling the Zucchini
2-1. Bring a large pot of water to boil.
Fill a large pot with unsalted, warm water. Place the pot on the stove and adjust the heat to the medium-high setting.
Place a lid on the pot to encourage it to boil more quickly.
Make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate the amount of zucchini you plan to blanch. The zucchini should be able to be completely submerged in the water without being overcrowded. This could cause the zucchini to cook unevenly.
2-2. Submerge the cubes of zucchini in the pot of boiling water.
Remove the lid of your pot once the water has reached a rolling boil and gently add the zucchini to the pot. Consider transferring the zucchini from your cutting board to the pot with a slotted spoon to minimize splashing.
If you have a wire basket that fits inside your pot, lower your zucchini into the water using the basket. The wire basket will help avoid splashing and make it easier to remove the zucchini from the water once it has finished blanching.
Be very careful when transferring the zucchini to your pot. The boiling water can burn your skin, so consider wearing oven mitts for added protection.
2-3. Allow the zucchini to boil for 3 or 4 minutes.
Adjust the temperature of your stove in order to maintain a rolling boil for several minutes. Stir the zucchini gently once or twice during the 3 to 4 minutes to make sure it is cooking evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the zucchini. Test the zucchini with a fork to test its texture. The zucchini should still be firm when you remove it from the water.
The size of your zucchini cubes will determine how long you should keep them in the boiling water. If you chop the zucchini into cubes larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm) square, you will need to increase the cooking time by around a minute.
3. Draining and Cooling the Zucchini
3-1. Transfer the zucchini to a bowl of ice water to end the cooking process.
Fill a large bowl with ice and water and place it on the counter near your stove. Once the zucchini has finished boiling, carefully transfer the zucchini cubes from the boiling water to the ice water with a slotted spoon. Allow the zucchini to cool in the water for 1 to 2 minutes.
Cooling the zucchini cubes in the ice water bath is important for ending the cooking process abruptly. Overcooking the zucchini during the blanching process could accidentally remove the nutrients from the vegetable.
The zucchini will feel cool to the touch once the cooking process has been suspended. If the zucchini is not cooling quickly enough, consider adding additional ice to the bowl.
3-2. Strain the zucchini from the water with a colander.
Place a colander, like the kind you use to strain pasta, in an empty sink. Carefully dump the bowl full of ice water and zucchini cubes into the colander. The water will pass through the holes in the colander leaving behind your blanched zucchini.
If the ice hasn't completely melted, you may need to pick out any remaining ice left behind in the colander from the zucchini by hand.
3-3. Dry the zucchini with paper towels before cooking or storing.
Transfer the zucchini from the colander to a dry bowl or cutting board and gently pat dry with paper towels. You'll need to remove any residual water before you cook or store your freshly blanched zucchini cubes.
Once your paper towel becomes saturated with water, switch to a fresh one in order to dry the zucchini more efficiently. You can also use a kitchen towel for a reusable, environmentally friendly drying method.
Make sure to dry the zucchini very gently so that you do not damage its structure.

How to Blanket Stitch an Applique
|
1. Choosing Thread and Positioning Your Applique
1-1. Select a multi-strand embroidery floss
A multi-strand embroidery floss is ideal for blanket stitching an applique onto a piece of fabric or a finished garment. You can find this type of thread in the embroidery section of a craft supply store. Choose embroidery floss in a color that will complement your applique.
For example, if you are sewing a red applique onto a piece of white fabric, then you might want to go with black embroidery floss to add contrast, or you could use red embroidery floss to match your applique.
A heavyweight size 12 cotton thread will also work well for blanket stitching an applique. You do not have to separate out the strands if you choose this type of thread.
1-2. Thread a size 24 needle
Pull out 3 strands from the bundle of embroidery floss and cut them to about 18 in (46 cm). Hold the size 24 embroidery needle in your non-dominant hand so that the eye is facing up. Hold the freshly cut end of the thread in your dominant hand. Insert the ends into the eye and pull the thread until about 1/3 of it is through the eye. Then, tie a knot in the end of the longer side of the thread.
If you are having trouble threading the needle, wet the ends of the thread with a bit of water or saliva. This will stiffen them and make it easier to push the ends through.
1-3. Pin your applique onto the garment or fabric.
Identify where you want the applique to go and pin it onto the front side of the fabric with the front side of the applique facing out. Insert the pins through the applique about 1 in (2.5 cm) from the edges so that they will not get in the way of your stitches.
You may only need 1 pin to hold a small applique in place while you sew, or you might need several to keep a large applique in place.
You can buy an applique in a craft supply store, or make your own!
2. Starting the Stitch
2-1. Push the needle through the fabric near the outer edge of the applique.
To start the stitch, push the needle into the back of the fabric. Position the tip of the needle so that it will come out right beside the edge of your applique on the front side of the fabric.
Once the needle is through the fabric, keep pulling it until the thread is taut.
Make sure that the thread only goes through the fabric and not the applique!
2-2. Insert the needle back down through the applique 0.15 in (0.38 cm) from the edge.
Next, push the needle back down through the applique and the fabric behind it. Insert the needle about 0.15 in (0.38 cm) from the edge of the applique.
This stitch works the same whether you are stitching along a straight or curved edge. Focus on the distance from the edge of the applique to get even stitches.
2-3. Bring the needle back out on the edge of the applique again.
Instead of pulling the thread taut, bring the needle right back out of the fabric on the front side. Bring it out beside the applique rather than going through it, just as you did before.
The needle should come out at a point parallel to where you inserted it whether the edge is straight or curved.
2-4. Wrap the thread around the needle and push it through the loop.
Before you pull the thread taut, bring the loop of thread around the needle. Then, pull the needle through the loop until the thread is taut.
This will secure the first stitch.
3. Continuing and Securing the Stitch
3-1. Repeat the stitch about 0.15 in (0.38 cm) to the left of the first stitch.
Continue to make new stitches using the same technique. Push the needle through the applique 0.15 in (0.38 cm) from the first stitch, bring it back out on the same side on the edge of the applique, loop the thread around the end of the needle, and then pull the thread taut to secure the stitch.
Make sure to space out the stitches evenly and keep them all at the same distance from the edge of your applique.
3-2. Insert the needle under the thread of your first stitch 3 times.
After you make the last blanket stitch on the edge of your applique, push the needle under the thread in the first stitch you made. Then, pull until the thread is taut.
Repeat this 2 more times to secure the end.
3-3. Push the needle through to the back of the fabric.
Next, push the needle into the fabric right on the edge of the applique, but do not insert the needle through the applique. Pull the needle through the back of the fabric until the thread is taut.
3-4. Sew through 1 of the back stitches 3 times.
The stitches on the back of the fabric will look like the ones on the front and it will be easy to insert your needle through them. Push the tip of the needle under the nearest stitch, wrap the loop of thread around the needle, and pull until the thread is taut. Do not go through the fabric or applique, but only under the stitch.
Repeat this 2 more times through the same stitch to secure the end of the thread.
3-5. Cut the thread close to the fabric.
After your last stitch, pull the thread taut, and then use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the thread about 0.25 in (0.64 cm) from the fabric. Be careful not to cut any of the stitches or the fabric as you do this.
Do not tie a knot at the end of the thread. The stitches you worked in the front and back of the applique will be enough to secure it.

How to Blast, or Break Rock With Blasting Powder, Gun Powder
|
1. Steps
1-1. Drill a 1/2" diameter hole in the rock about 18" deep.
The hole should be placed so that it is 12" - 18" in from the rock face that you are trying to break. Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit to do this.
1-2. Clean out the hole.
You can get it mostly cleaned out with the drill. For better results, attach a 24" long, 1/4" diameter aluminum tube to a bicycle pump. Stick the tube in the hole and blow it out by pumping the bicycle pump.
1-3. Pour about 3/4 of a fluid ounce of gunpowder into the hole using a small funnel.
A graduated cooking shot glass works well to measure the powder.
1-4. Place an appropriate length of cannon fuse in the hole.
Be sure to know the burn rate of the fuse, and use more than you think you'll need to get out of the area! Also, be sure that you have good fuse / powder connection by corkscrewing the fuse into the powder by an inch or so.
1-5. Backfill the remaining hole by balling up modeling clay into 1/8" balls, dropping them into the hole, and tamping them down with a 1/4" wooden dowel.
Tamp down the clay every 5 to 10 balls.
1-6. Place sandbags tightly around the hole.
1-7. Make sure that nobody is in the area, light the fuse, and then EVACUATE.
1-8. Notes:
You can adjust the hole depth, powder charge, and hole distance from the rock face to meet your requirements. A good blast will just crack the rock. Too much charge or placing the hole too near a rock face will result in 'air burst', where rock flies into the air. This is dangerous and wasteful. Too little charge, or placing the hole too far away from a rock face will result in almost no rock breakage. This method works well when you can drill a hole straight down, or close to straight down. It will not work for placing a charge in overhead rock.
Warnings
Flying rock from the explosion can travel more than a hundred feet and can kill people. Make sure that people and property are not exposed to the blast area. If you are right next to the blast when it goes off, you could be injured or die.
There are rocks that cannot be broken with explosives like Gunpowder or bombs. This may have strong barrier and will take hard work to break those rocks. Before doing this, think twice if the rock is shatterproof or not. Be sure to test one to see if it can be blasted by them. If the rock can be detonated by any explosive which will only locally destroy the object, use any of them to destroy. If not, do something else to break it without using any stronger explosives like dynamites or nuclear bombs.

How to Bleach African American Hair
|
1. Preparing Your Hair and Bleach
1-1. Start with dry, unprocessed hair.
Do not bleach your hair if it has been relaxed, chemically straightened, or texturized, as this can damage your hair beyond repair. You can work on freshly-washed hair, but make sure that it is completely dry before you begin.
Bleaching is easier on shorter hair than longer hair. If you have never done this before, or feel uncomfortable, consider going to a stylist.
1-2. Twist your hair into multiple rope braids if it's long.
Divide your hair into at least 8 sections first, then twist each section into a 2-strand rope braid. This will help stretch your hair out and make it easier to work with. The exact number of twists does not really matter.
If you have short hair (i.e. TWA or Teeny Weeny Afro), you don’t need to twist it. Just comb it out to ensure that there are no knots or tangles.
1-3. Apply oil or petroleum jelly to your hairline.
Be sure to apply it all along your hairline, including the sides and back of your head. You could also apply some to the tips and edges of your ears as well. This will help protect your skin against the bleach.
The type of oil that you use does not matter. It can be olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
1-4. Pull on a pair of plastic gloves and a shirt that you don't care about.
A button-up shirt would work the best because it is easier to get in and out of. If you don't have any shirts to spare, then drape an old towel or plastic dyeing cape over your shoulders instead.
If you're worried about damaging your floor and/or counter, cover it with paper or plastic bags. Newspaper or plastic tablecloths will also work.
1-5. Measure your lightening powder and developer into a non-metal bowl.
You can buy these separately or as a kit, but make sure that they both come from the same brand. Since each brand is a little different read the instructions on the package to find out exactly what proportions you should use. In most cases, however, expect to use a 1-to-1 ratio of powder to developer.
If possible, choose a powder and developer that are safe to use on your scalp.
Measure out enough developer to saturate your hair, like a hair mask. About 4 ounces (120 mL) of developer should be enough for shoulder-length hair.
20 volume developer is the safest and least damaging, but you can try a 30 volume developer instead if you feel confident bleaching your hair. Just be aware that a 30 volume developer will lighten your hair 3 levels and do so much more quickly than a 20 volume developer, which will lighten your hair 2 levels at a slower rate.
1-6. Mix the powder and developer until they have a batter-like consistency.
You can do this with the handle of your tinting brush or with a plastic (not metal) spoon. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often so that everything mixes evenly. The color should be consistent with no streaks or swirls.
When mixed, bleach will range from white to blue to purple, depending on the brand you got.
2. Applying the Bleach
2-1. Undo 1 of your twists and pin the rest out of the way, if needed.
Choose a twist from your front hairline and unravel it. If your hair is very long, then the other twists might get in the way. It would be a good idea to clip or pin them back.
If you have a TWA, then you can skip this step.
2-2. Set a timer to 30 minutes to keep track of how long the bleach is in your hair.
If you apply the bleach to all your hair first, then start the timer, your hair may turn out uneven. This is because the bleach would have sat in some areas longer than others.
Double-check the recommended time on your packaging. If it tells you not to go over 25 minutes, then set your timer to 25 minutes.
If the timer goes off before you finish applying the bleach, you'll have to stop, wash the bleach off, dry your hair, then continue where you left off.
To prevent the front of your head from being lighter than the back, try applying 20 volume developer to the front and 30 volume to the back. This way, the front hair will lighten more slowly, so you can apply the developer to the front of your head first. Then, switch to the 30 volume for the back, and this hair will lighten more quickly.
2-3. Apply the bleach to your hair, starting ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from your roots.
If you never bleached your hair before, apply it with a tinting brush all the way down to the ends of your hair. If you lightened your hair in the past, then apply the bleach to wherever the lightened area starts.
If the hair that came out of the twist is wider than your tinting brush, split the twist in half, and work on 1 half at a time.
If you have a TWA, you can just brush the bleach onto your hair, like painting a canvas.
2-4. Twist and clip your hair out of the way, then repeat the process.
Work 1 twist at a time. If you need to, break them up into separate curls first. As you finish a second of hair, twist it, then clip it out of the way. Start at the front of your head and work towards your nape.
Remember to leave a ⁄2 in (1.3 cm) gap between the bleach and your scalp. You'll go back and do the roots later.
You don't need to twist the bleached hair into rope braids. You just need to make sure that it stays out of the way of the unbleached hair.
2-5. Apply the bleach to your edges, roots, and any missed spots.
You want to do these last because they are the closest to your scalp and will process the fastest. Apply the bleach to your roots first, then move on to your edges. Check for missed spots, then touch them up with more bleach, if needed.
For TWAs, you may have to part your hair with the handle of your tinting brush, then apply the bleach to your roots.
2-6. Wait for your timer to go off.
In most cases, this will be around 30 minutes. Never leave bleach on longer than what is stated on the package, even if it is not light enough. If you leave it on too long, your hair may fall out.
Check your hair's progress every 5 minutes or so. It may actually lighten faster than what's on the packaging.
2-7. Wash the bleach out with a neutralizing shampoo, then let it dry.
This is very important as it will halt the bleaching process. Your hair may look brassy or downright orange. Don't worry; this is nothing that a quick toning process can't fix.
Be sure to rinse the bleach off with cool water. Even though warm water won't affect the color of your hair, it will make it frizzy.
2-8. Repeat the bleaching process, if needed.
Most people with dark-colored hair will have to perform at least 2 bleaching sessions before they get the shade they want. Luckily, you don't need to leave the bleach on for as long during the second session. About 15 minutes will do.
It would be best to do this the next day, but if your hair still feels damaged, wait another 2 to 3 days before bleaching it again.
It may take 3 to 4 bleaching sessions before your hair reaches the level of lightness you want.
3. Toning and Conditioning Your Hair
3-1. Purchase a toner for your hair.
You may be able to use a purple or blue toning shampoo to remove any orange or yellow tones from your hair, but if you want platinum-blonde hair, then you need to mix the toner with 20 or 30 volume developer.
Each brand of toner will be a little different, so read the instructions on the bottle to find out how to use it and mix it.
3-2. Apply the toner
You don’t need to section off your hair for this; just create horizontal or vertical parts using the handle of a tinting brush, then brush the toner on starting from the roots.
If you are using a toning shampoo, you'll have to get your hair wet, then apply it just like you would normal shampoo.
3-3. Leave the toner on for the time recommended on the bottle.
In most cases, this will be around 10 to 20 minutes. The toner will start to change color from white to purple. Do not be alarmed; this is perfectly normal.
If you are using a toning shampoo, then you'll probably only need to leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Toner can stain, so it would be a good idea to cover your hair with a plastic shower cap.
3-4. Rinse the toner out, then follow up with a hydrating mask.
Bleaching is a damaging process on its own, but when combined with African American hair, it is even more damaging. A hydrating mask will help repair some of that damage by hydrating and nourishing your hair.
Avoid anything that contains sulfates. They won't affect the color of your hair, but they can make your hair feel drier.
You can use a natural mask too; it does not have to be store-bought.
3-5. Let your hair air dry and avoid heat styling it for 3 to 4 weeks.
This is important. Bleaching and heat styling are damaging enough to hair already on their own, but if you combine them, you'll be damaging your tresses even more!
When you do heat style your hair, make sure that it is completely dry first. Apply a heat protectant and use a lower heat setting.
Blow drying counts as heat styling. Consider letting your hair air dry part-way first, then style it with the hairdryer. Remember to use a heat protectant!
3-6. Keep your hair moisturized with weekly deep conditioning masks.
You are probably already in the habit of moisturizing your hair, but you need to be especially diligent about it after you bleach it.
A protein-free moisturizing mask is a great option, but you can use other types of hair masks too, including natural ones.
3-7. Trim your hair every 5 to 6 weeks to remove split ends.
Not only will this reduce frizz, but it will also help prevent further damage. If you leave split ends unchecked, they will continue to create further and further up the hair shaft, leading to even more damage.
Don't rely on products labeled for mending split ends. They only provide a temporary fix; they don't heal the damage permanently.
Tips
Rather than bleaching all of your hair, consider using a balayage technique or getting highlights. This will help reduce damage while still lightening your hair to some extent.[23]
X
Research source
Remember to take good care of your bleached hair.
If your timer hits 30 minutes before you finish bleaching your hair, take a break, and wash the bleach out. Let your hair dry, and continue.
Warnings
Don't use metal bowls or stirring implements, or they will react with the bleach. Stick with glass, plastic, or ceramic.
Do not leave bleach on for longer than the time recommended on the packaging.
Never apply bleach to wet or chemically straightened hair.

It is an important part of dyeing your hair another color, especially if you want to go pastel.

How to Bleach Body Hair
|
1. Home Lightening Kits
1-1. Do a test patch on a small spot before you apply the bleach all over.
Read the box, and mix a small amount based on the particular ratios of bleach and activator product. Apply the bleach to a 1 in × 1 in (2.5 cm × 2.5 cm) section of your body, such as your inner arm. After about 7-10 minutes, remove the product with water. If there is no redness or irritation after 24 hours, you can use the bleach kit safely.
If you notice any redness or irritation after using the bleach, do not use this to bleach your body hair. If the reaction does not go away within 1-2 days, see your doctor.
1-2. Wash the area you want to bleach with soap and water.
Before you apply the bleach, rub the area with soap and rinse it thoroughly using cool or warm water from your faucet.
It is helpful to cleanse the area before you bleach it to remove any natural oils, sweat, or debris.
1-3. Mix the bleaching ingredients based on your particular instructions.
Read over your instructions to ensure you mix the products correctly. Typically, there is a powder bleach container, a jar or cream activator, and a mixing tool in at-home bleach kits. Use the included mixing tool to scoop up the products, and put them in a small dish. Most kits call for 1 spatula of powder bleach and 2 scoops of cream activator.
If you mix the bleach incorrectly, you may wind up damaging your skin.
As you do this, be careful not to get the bleach on your skin. If you do, rinse it off completely.
1-4. Apply a solid, even layer of bleach to your intended area.
Once your bleach is mixed up, use the mixing tool to scoop up the product, and spread it across the area you want to bleach. You can bleach your arms, legs, or upper lip, for instance. Ensure all of your hairs are fully covered so they lighten evenly.
As you spread the bleach, avoid rubbing it back and forth into your skin.
If you notice any empty spots after you first apply the bleach, go back in and fill them in with more product.
1-5. Let the bleach process for 5-10 minutes.
Set a timer for 5-10 minutes, as directed in your particular instructions. Some kits require more or less time to process the bleach. If your hair is light brown or blonde, you may not need quite as much time to process the hair. If your hair is very dark, you may need the full processing time.
Do not leave the bleach on longer than indicated in the directions—it could lead to chemical burns.
1-6. Remove a small section of bleach to check the overall lightness.
After your timer is done, take your mixing tool and scrape off a 1 in × 1 in (2.5 cm × 2.5 cm) section of the bleach. Inspect your hair to see how light it is now. If your hair is light enough, you can rinse off the bleach next. If your hair is not light enough, let it process for 2-4 more minutes, based on your instructions.
If you notice any irritation, rinse the bleach out right away.
1-7. Rinse off the bleach when your hair is light enough for your liking.
When your hair passes your inspection, you’re nearly finished! Simply wipe off the excess bleach with a paper towel and rinse off any residue. Rinse off the product completely so no bleach remains.
As you do this, you can use your hand to rub away the product. When there are no bubbles or white specs in the water, your skin is likely clean.
1-8. Avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers for about 8 hours.
If you use an abrasive cleaner on your newly bleached hair, it may irritate your skin.
If bleaching the hair at night, shower in the morning rather than before you go to bed.
2. Hydrogen Peroxide
2-1. Mix equal parts of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water in a bowl or cup.
This is a safe method, as peroxide and water are both natural ingredients. Use a ratio of 1:1 to mix the same amount of solution into a dish. Swirl a spoon around to ensure the liquid is mixed correctly.
2-2. Saturate a cotton ball or pad in the liquid mixture.
Once you mix the hydrogen peroxide and water, dip a cotton ball or pad into the dish, and let the liquid completely soak the cotton. You can move it around in the dish until it is completely saturated.
This should take about 15-30 seconds.
If your cotton ball or pad is dripping excessively, squeeze it out slightly over top of the dish.
2-3. Put the cotton ball or pad on the spot you want to bleach.
You can bleach your abdominal hair and forearm area, for example.
Use multiple cotton balls or pads if you want to cover multiple spots at the same time.
2-4. Sit in the sunshine for 20-30 minutes for the peroxide to process.
To lighten the hair properly, it is best to sit in the sun since hydrogen peroxide is activated by sunlight. Set a timer after you put the cotton ball or pad in place, and check the lightness after about 20 minutes.
Note that the hair may not appear much lighter after the first use. It will take several applications.
2-5. Wash off the hydrogen peroxide thoroughly.
Once you’re finished lightening your hair, take a clean washcloth and wipe off the bleached area. You can also hop in the shower quickly to rinse off if you prefer. Peroxide isn’t harmful for your skin, but it may dry it out over time.
2-6. Apply a nourishing lotion to rehydrate your skin.
Throughout the bleaching process, your skin may get dry from the exposure to hydrogen peroxide. To keep your skin soft and healthy, it is best to rub a dime-size amount or so of lotion rich in vitamin E oil over your bleached area. Do this immediately after rinsing and drying the bleached area.
You can also use lotion with a cocoa or shea butter base, as these are very moisturizing and made from natural ingredients.
3. Lemon Juice
3-1. Mix equal parts of lemon juice and water in a cup.
For best results, use freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Bottled or organic lemon juice also works well. Fill a cup about 1/3 of the way with lemon juice, then fill the cup another 1/3 of the way with water from your faucet.
Using water to dilute the lemon juice reduces the acidity a bit, so your skin doesn’t dry out severely.
3-2. Soak a cotton ball or pad in the mixture.
To apply the lemon juice to the hair you want to bleach, it is easiest to use a cotton ball or pad. Dunk the cotton ball or pad into the cup of lemon juice, and remove it after a few seconds. Ensure the middle and outside of the cotton is adequately wet.
3-3. Place the cotton ball or pad where you want to apply the bleach.
You can use lemon juice to safely bleach your upper lip, abdomen, arms, and legs. Hold the cotton in place throughout the bleaching process.
3-4. Sit outside with the lemon solution in place for 15-20 minutes.
Sunlight helps boost the lightening effects of the lemon juice, as the sun activates the citric acid. After 20 minutes or so, your skin will feel very dry, so this is a good time to stop the bleaching session.
If you burn easily, apply sunscreen to the rest of your skin to avoid sunburn.
3-5. Rinse off the lemon juice completely.
Use warm water to get rid of any lemon juice or residue. If bleaching your arms, you can hold your arm under the sink. If bleaching your face or legs, use a clean washcloth.
3-6. Moisturize the area with lotion after you clean the bleached area.
Lemon juice makes the skin very dry, so it’s best to replenish it with moisturizing lotion right after cleansing the skin. Use products containing cocoa butter, shea butter, or vitamin E oil, for instance.
You can massage the lotion into the skin for a relaxing effect.
3-7. Repeat this every day to notice substantial results.
Lemon juice can lighten body hair, but it does take several applications and some patience. For best results, use this bleaching technique every day. If you aren’t able to bleach with lemon juice daily, aim for 3-4 days a week.
Tips
If your skin looks lighter after you rinse off the bleach, that’s okay! This is normal, and the coloration will fade back to your natural tone after a few hours. [18]

Research source
A bleaching treatment can last from 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows.
Warnings
If you notice any skin irritation, itching, or burning, wipe off the bleach immediately and wash off any remnants.
Don’t put bleach on any irritated skin or cuts. For example, don’t put bleach on top of a pimple or blemish.
Avoid applying bleach to sensitive areas, such as your bikini line or groin.
If you have very dark or thick hair, your hair may not look lighter after 1 application. Consider using another hair removal method if your hair does not lighten adequately after multiple attempts.[20]

How to Bleach Brown Hair
|
1. Preparing to Bleach Your Hair
1-1. Use deep conditioner on coarse or curly hair for 1 week before bleaching.
Hair that’s especially curly or coarse may be more prone to breakage during and after the bleaching process. Choose a deep conditioner that’s free from sulfates and uses oils such as Argan oil or coconut oil. Use the conditioner every night for 1 week prior to bleaching.
Apply the conditioner generously to your hair while it’s dry, gently comb it through with a wide tooth comb, and allow it to remain on your hair for 30 minutes before rinsing it with lukewarm water.
1-2. Choose the right bleach powder for your hair.
A bleach kit will typically have a packet of bleach powder and a bottle of liquid developer. The strength of the bleach is determined by the developer, but you’ll have a choice between blue, purple, or white bleach powders as well. The main difference between them is that white powder can leave more of a gold tint in your hair, while blue and purple powders are more neutral.
Many white powders are considered “extra strength” and would be appropriate to use if your hair is very dark brown or has been colored frequently in the past.
1-3. Buy the strength of developer appropriate for your hair.
The developer in your bleach kit will come in strength 10, 20, 30, or 40 volume, with 10 being the weakest. Your hair will lighten faster at higher volumes, and more slowly at lower volumes. If your hair is light brown, use a 20 volume developer. If your hair is medium to dark brown, you may need to use a 30 volume developer.
If you don’t have a lot of experience bleaching your hair, stick to 10 or 20 volume developers for home use. If you feel that you need a 30 or 40 volume developer to get the job done, it would be best to have your hair bleached by a professional colorist.
1-4. Buy 2 bleach kits for very thick hair or hair that’s past shoulder-length.
If your hair is very thick or long, you will need more bleach to cover all of it. Buy 2 kits of the same powder and developer once you’ve chosen the type you want.
Some beauty supply stores offer bleach powder and developer sold separately. You can cut costs by purchasing a larger bottle of developer and 2 packets of powder instead of 2 separate kits.
1-5. Leave your hair unwashed before bleaching it.
Bleach actually works best on hair that’s slightly dirty or greasy. Try not to wash your hair for at least 1-2 days before bleaching your hair. Don’t apply new products like hairspray or gel to your hair right before bleaching it, but if you have leftover product in it from the last couple of days that’s okay.
2. Bleaching Brown Hair
2-1. Do a strand test
Bleach will unavoidably cause some damage to your hair, and hair that’s already been chemically changed with relaxers or permanents may become extremely damaged by bleach. A strand test will tell you both how long it takes bleach to process in your hair, and if your hair is healthy enough to bleach at all. Isolate a small section of your hair about 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide where you can test the bleach.
Mix a very small amount of powder and developer with a 1:2 ratio (1 part powder to 2 parts developer) in your plastic bowl. Apply the bleach to your section of hair with a dye applicator brush, and wait 5 minutes. Wipe the bleach off with an old towel to see how light the hair is.
Reapply more bleach if the hair is not as light as you want it. Continue wiping it and checking every 5 minutes to determine how much time your hair needs to process bleach. Dispose of this test bleach when you’re finished with the strand test.
If the hair strands start to break or become gummy, this means they are being burnt by the bleach. You should not bleach the rest of your hair if this happens.
2-2. Divide your hair into 4 sections and clip them.
Brush out all of your hair, and part it from the middle of your forehead to the nape of your neck. Clip the right side with a large plastic clip, and make 2 more parts from your ear to the center part on the left side. Secure these 2 sections with large clips, remove the single large clip from the right side, and divide this section in half the same way.
Never use metal clips when you are bleaching your hair, since the metal can react with the bleach and cause serious damage to your hair.
2-3. Mix your bleach and developer with a 1:2 ratio.
Most bleach kits will already have the portions measured out for you, but if you bought your powder and developer separately, you’ll want to mix it with 1 part powder to 2 parts developer. An easy way to do this is by using a clear plastic container, dumping the powder in, and then pouring the developer in until its level is twice as high as your powder level.
You can also check the amount of bleach powder on the packet, and measure twice the amount of developer with a liquid measuring cup.
Most lighteners call for a 1:2 ratio, but check the instructions on your developer bottle just to be sure.
2-4. Cover your shoulders and put on your gloves.
Bleach can stain your clothes, especially anything darker in color. To avoid getting bleach on your clothes, cover your shoulders in an old towel, or a hairdresser’s cape if you have one. Clip it at your neck to keep it attached.
You want to avoid getting bleach on your hands as well, as it can irritate the skin. Use plastic or rubber gloves to protect your hands.
2-5. Brush the bleach on small sections in the back 1 cm (0.39 in) from your scalp.
When your bleach is mixed, put on your gloves and remove 1 of your back clips, taking a small section from it. Using your tint brush, brush the section with bleach starting 1 cm (0.39 in) from your scalp all the way to the ends with a downward stroke.
Flip the strand over to get the underside of the section. Wind the piece loosely in a circle and secure it with a small sectioning clip.
2-6. Cover and clip each section quickly.
Continue brushing your bleach onto each strand in the first back quarter of your hair, clipping them with small clips as you go. Work quickly because the bleach will work quickly. Next do the same thing to the other back section of your hair, then move up to the front when the back is complete.
By the time you’re finished with the last front quarter of hair, the back quarter that you started with should be significantly lighter.
2-7. Brush bleach onto the root areas last if you like.
When you’re finished applying bleach to most of your hair, you have the option of applying it to the 1 cm (0.39 in) section of root that you left bare. Getting bleach on your scalp will cause it to tingle and itch at the least, or burn at the worst.
Some people experience a very unpleasant feeling when bleach touches their scalp. Try it first on a small clipped section in the back where you first started. If you don’t like it, you always have the option of leaving your roots unbleached.
2-8. Check your hair for any missed sections and apply bleach to them.
Starting in the quarter you started with, unclip each section and check to see that it’s lightening evenly. If you notice any brown spots, apply more bleach just to that spot and re-clip it.
Use a large mirror and hand-held mirror to get the best view of the back as you’re checking for missed spots.
2-9. Check the front of your hair every 5 minutes to see if it’s light enough.
Brown hair will first turn orange, then yellow, then pale blond when it’s bleached. If your hair is very dark brown to begin with, it may take longer to turn pale blonde than medium to lighter browns.
After 20-40 minutes, you may notice that your hair is not lightening anymore. Bleach does stop working after a certain length of time, and your strand test should have determined how light your hair is able to get.
If this happens, it’s possible that your hair will not get any lighter this time. You’ll need to rinse your bleach and decide how to proceed with adjusting the color if it is not what you wanted.
Check the instructions in your bleach kit to see the maximum amount of time you can leave bleach in your hair. Most products will recommend no longer than 45 minutes.
2-10. Rinse the bleach immediately at the first sign of hair breakage.
If you unclip a section of hair to check it and notice that pieces of the ends come off in your hand, it’s time to rinse your bleach immediately. Remove your clips and put your head under lukewarm running water to rinse the bleach out.
Hopefully if you did a strand test, this will not happen. If it does, you may need professional assistance to adjust the color if it’s uneven, and to trim any broken ends of hair.
2-11. Rinse your hair thoroughly, shampoo, and condition.
When your hair is as light as you want it, or before if it stops lightening or starts breaking, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Shampoo your hair with a hydrating shampoo, and use a hydrating conditioner to coat your hair before rinsing it in lukewarm water.
Beauty supply stores often sell conditioners specially designed for after you bleach or color. Buy a packet of this strong conditioner and use it immediately after bleaching for the best results.
3. Maintaining Bleached Hair
3-1. Apply toner to remove brassiness from bleached hair anytime.
Brassiness is the unwanted red, orange, or yellow color that often occurs from bleaching. The darker your hair was before bleaching, the more likely it is that you will have some brassiness in it afterward. Choose green, blue, or violet-based toner depending on which unwanted color you want to neutralize the most.
Most people apply toner immediately after bleaching their hair, as this is the best time for your hair to absorb the toner. You can do it anytime, however. Follow the instructions on your brand of toner exactly, to avoid having your hair become too neutralized, or tinged with grey or lavender.
Green-based toner neutralizes red brassiness. Blue-based toner neutralizes orange, while violet-based toner neutralizes yellow. If you’re unsure which toner to use, consult an employee at the beauty supply store where you’re buying it.
When you buy toner, use a 10 or 20 volume developer for it, according to the instructions on the package.
3-2. Shampoo your hair with blonde-specific shampoo.
Some shampoos that are specially made for blonde-treated hair actually contain toner in them to help you achieve a cool, neutral blonde look. You can find these shampoos at beauty supply stores as well as many pharmacies.
Look for shampoos containing blue or purple tints. These shampoos are designed to neutralize orange or brassy tones in blonde, silver, or white hair. Check the bottle to find out how often to use these shampoos and how long to leave them on before rinsing.
Be sure to avoid shampoos containing sulfites, as these are chemicals that are known to further dry and damage hair.
3-3. Use a strengthening conditioner daily.
Because bleached hair is damaged to some degree, you want to take extra care to provide it with enough moisture. Use a conditioner especially for color-treated or blonde hair that’s labeled “hydrating” or “moisturizing.”
You may also want to do a weekly deep-conditioning to maintain your hair’s health and keep it moisturized.
3-4. Try a protein treatment or natural oils to repair brittle ends.
Your ends may begin looking especially dry, split, or brittle after bleaching. You can use either a protein treatment or an oil like Argan or coconut oil to help repair them. Smooth the product onto your ends and wrap your hair up into a hot towel for 30 minutes.
Try doing this once or twice a week until you notice your ends looking healthier. You may also benefit from a trim to help especially damaged ends.
3-5. Touch up your roots in 4-6 weeks if you’re keeping the color.
The best way to maintain your blonde hair is by re-bleaching most of your roots in 4-6 weeks. Avoid re-bleaching all of your hair, as each time you bleach there is further damage done to it. You can still leave bleach off the 1 cm (0.39 in) closest to your scalp to avoid getting bleach on your scalp.
To touch up your roots, prepare half the amount of bleach you would use to dye your whole head. Brush it onto your roots, being careful not to overlap with the already bleached parts of your hair.
Tips
If your hair is already light brown, it will not necessarily require bleaching, but this is advised if you plan to dye it.
Warnings
Always do a strand test before each time you bleach your hair. Not doing one can result in burning your hair or your scalp, or in getting a hair color that you do not like.

Rinse the bleach immediately at the first sign of hair breakage.\\nIf you unclip a section of hair to check it and notice that pieces of the ends come off in your hand, it’s time to rinse your bleach immediately. Remove your clips and put your head under lukewarm running water to rinse the bleach out.\\nHopefully if you did a strand test, this will not happen. If it does, you may need professional assistance to adjust the color if it’s uneven, and to trim any broken ends of hair.\\n2-11. Rinse your hair thoroughly, shampoo, and condition.\\nWhen your hair is as light as you want it, or before if it stops lightening or starts breaking, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Shampoo your hair with a hydrating shampoo, and use a hydrating conditioner to coat your hair before rinsing it in lukewarm water.\\nBeauty supply stores often sell conditioners specially designed for after you bleach or color. Buy a packet of this strong conditioner and use it immediately after bleaching for the best results.\\n3. Maintaining Bleached Hair\\n3-1. Apply toner to remove brassiness from bleached hair anytime.\\nBrassiness is the unwanted red, orange, or yellow color that often occurs from bleaching. The darker your hair was before bleaching, the more likely it is that you will have some brassiness in it afterward. Choose green, blue, or violet-based toner depending on which unwanted color you want to neutralize the most.\\nMost people apply toner immediately after bleaching their hair, as this is the best time for your hair to absorb the toner. You can do it anytime, however. Follow the instructions on your brand of toner exactly, to avoid having your hair become too neutralized, or tinged with grey or lavender.\\nGreen-based toner neutralizes red brassiness. Blue-based toner neutralizes orange, while violet-based toner neutralizes yellow. If you’re unsure which toner to use, consult an employee at the beauty supply store where you’re buying it.\\nWhen you buy toner, use a 10 or 20 volume developer for it, according to the instructions on the package.\\n3-2. Shampoo your hair with blonde-specific shampoo.\\nSome shampoos that are specially made for blonde-treated hair actually contain toner in them to help you achieve a cool, neutral blonde look. You can find these shampoos at beauty supply stores as well as many pharmacies.\\nLook for shampoos containing blue or purple tints. These shampoos are designed to neutralize orange or brassy tones in blonde, silver, or white hair. Check the bottle to find out how often to use these shampoos and how long to leave them on before rinsing.\\nBe sure to avoid shampoos containing sulfites, as these are chemicals that are known to further dry and damage hair.\\n3-3. Use a strengthening conditioner daily.\\nBecause bleached hair is damaged to some degree, you want to take extra care to provide it with enough moisture. Use a conditioner especially for color-treated or blonde hair that’s labeled “hydrating” or “moisturizing.”\\nYou may also want to do a weekly deep-conditioning to maintain your hair’s health and keep it moisturized.\\n3-4. Try a protein treatment or natural oils to repair brittle ends.\\nYour ends may begin looking especially dry, split, or brittle after bleaching. You can use either a protein treatment or an oil like Argan or coconut oil to help repair them. Smooth the product onto your ends and wrap your hair up into a hot towel for 30 minutes.\\nTry doing this once or twice a week until you notice your ends looking healthier. You may also benefit from a trim to help especially damaged ends.\\n3-5. Touch up your roots in 4-6 weeks if you’re keeping the color.\\nThe best way to maintain your blonde hair is by re-bleaching most of your roots in 4-6 weeks. Avoid re-bleaching all of your hair, as each time you bleach there is further damage done to it. You can still leave bleach off the 1 cm (0.39 in) closest to your scalp to avoid getting bleach on your scalp.\\nTo touch up your roots, prepare half the amount of bleach you would use to dye your whole head. Brush it onto your roots, being careful not to overlap with the already bleached parts of your hair.\\nTips\\nIf your hair is already light brown, it will not necessarily require bleaching, but this is advised if you plan to dye it.\\nWarnings\\nAlways do a strand test before each time you bleach your hair. Not doing one can result in burning your hair or your scalp, or in getting a hair color that you do not like.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Bleaching brown hair is something that you can do easily at home with the right supplies and precautions.

How to Bleach Clip‐in Extensions
|
1. Preparing the Extensions and Bleach
1-1. Clean your extensions thoroughly.
To remove any product buildup or other imperfections that may be present on the extensions, wash them 2-3 times before beginning. Make sure they are completely dry and place them on individual sheets of tin foil.
1-2. Buy a bleach kit.
These can be purchased from big box stores such as Walmart, Target, or Kmart and are usually also available at grocery or cosmetology stores. Make sure the kit you are using includes gloves, bleach and developer.
Try to find a kit with clear instructions. The clearer the better, as there will be little room for error!
The darker the hair of the extension, the more lightening power you will want the bleach kit to have. If your extensions are dark, you will want a kit that includes a 40 volume developer as it will give the most lift.
1-3. Mix the powder bleach with the liquid developer.
It is best to do this in a glass bowl or container specifically made to hold hair color. Follow the directions on the box precisely, as it is important to have the ratio just right. The specific ratio of bleach to developer will vary by brand, so check the directions before you begin working.
Always mix and apply bleach in an area that is well-ventilated. This is to avoid irritation of the eyes or nose from any harsh smells or chemical gases put off by the bleach.
2. Applying the Bleach
2-1. Put on your gloves.
This step is extremely important! Don’t forget to wear gloves while applying the bleach to avoid chemical burns on your hands. Also make sure your arms and the rest of your body is covered.
2-2. Massage the mixture into the extensions starting from the top.
Apply the bleach liberally using circular motions and moving from the top, near the clip, to the ends. Fully saturate the extensions. This works especially well if your hair is 1 solid color.
If your hair is ombre or highlighted, try to match the same pattern in the extensions as in your own hair. For example, if you want to match your highlights, use a highlighter brush to apply the bleach.
2-3. Fold the foil over the extensions so that no bleach spills out.
Bleach works best when it is warm and moist, so the foil will retain heat and keep the bleach from drying out as it processes.
2-4. Check on the extensions every 10 minutes.
Peel back the foil and look at the color of the extensions. When they are ready to be washed, they will be a shade of very light yellow. If they haven’t achieved a yellow color in 1 hour, remove them from the foil anyway to avoid significant damage from over-processing.
If you used a higher volume developer, the extensions will bleach more quickly than if you used a lower volume.
3. Managing Color
3-1. Wash the extensions with a PH balancing shampoo.
The shampoo will work to neutralize the chemicals in the hair and stop the processing. Make sure to use a deep conditioning treatment or olive or coconut oil and leave it on the strands overnight.
Some neutralizing shampoos will change color when applied to the hair. Don’t worry, this just shows that the shampoo is working!
3-2. Allow the extensions to dry thoroughly.
Check the color. If you aren’t happy with it, bleach the extensions again, but be sure to check every 5 minutes to make sure they are not being over processed.
Be extremely careful when bleaching twice. Lower quality extensions may break or fall off if over-bleached.
3-3. Eliminate brassy shades with a toner.
A toner is a glaze or gloss that slightly changes the tone of the hair to make it warmer or cooler depending on the desired effect. If your extensions are a little bit brass-toned, a cool shade toner can remove the brass coloring.
You can apply toner straight from the package by massaging it into the extensions as previously described.
Make sure to let the toner process for as long as is noted on the package, thoroughly wash the extensions, and let them dry to check the color.
Tips
Try to avoid the metal clips when adding the bleach.
Extensions may need to be trimmed after, as the ends may become damaged.
It's best to bleach extensions that are not damaged or have been color treated in the past.
Warnings
Keep bleach away from eyes.
Hair bleach is a damaging process. Your extensions may become more coarse.
Synthetic hair extensions cannot be bleached.
Be careful not to get bleach on your skin. If this occurs, rinse thoroughly.
Bleach in a well ventilated area.

How to Bleach Colored Canvas Shoes
|
1. Getting Started
1-1. Work in a well-ventilated area.
The best place to work is outside. If you can't work outside, open up a window or turn on a fan. Bleach can get stinky and cause headaches if you don't have enough fresh air.
1-2. Protect your work surface.
Spread some newspapers, a plastic tablecloth, or some old towels over your work surface. This will help protect it from getting stained.
1-3. Try to work on clean shoes.
If your shoes are dirty, you may not see the effects of the bleach as well. If necessary, wash your shoes in a bucket of soap and water, and let them dry.
2. Using a Rag
2-1. Gather your supplies.
This method will work best on shoes that lace up or have a rubber toe cap, such as Converse, but it can work on all-fabric canvas sneakers as well, such as Toms and Vans. Here's a list of what you will need:
Canvas
Bleach
Water (optional)
Bowl
Old rag
Rubber gloves
2-2. Take any laces out of your sneakers and set them aside.
If you don't take them off, then the spaces under the laces will still be the original color. You might also end up bleaching the laces.
2-3. Put on a pair of rubber gloves.
This will protect your hands from the bleach if your rag gets soaked through.
2-4. Pour some bleach into a bowl.
You can use the bleach full-strength or you can dilute it with water. Pure bleach will give you faster results, but it may also eat away at the fabric. Using diluted bleach will take more time, but it will be less harsh on your fabric.
If you are diluting bleach, use one part bleach to one part water.
2-5. Get out an old rag.
You might also want to bring out some Q-tips or an old toothbrush to reach small areas.
2-6. Use the rag to apply the bleach to the surface of the shoes.
If you rub the bleach into the shoe it will lighten the cloth more. Don't be worried if the canvas turns weird colors — for example, navy may turn brown. This will go away.
Keep in mind, however, that some shoes will never turn fully white. For example, most shades of black tend to turn brown or orange.
2-7. Repeat as many times necessary.
If it's a dark color, you may have to use a lot of bleach and go through this step several times. They will get lighter and lighter as you go. It may take some time and patience.
Use a Q-tip to get into small areas, such as corners and between grommets.
2-8. Wash the shoes in a bucket of soap and water.
This will stop the bleach from acting and prevent it from eating away at the fabric.
2-9. Allow the shoes to dry.
After that you may want to wash them so they stop smelling like bleach.
2-10. Lace up your Converse when you are done.
3. Using a Plastic Tub
3-1. Gather your supplies.
This method will work best on shoes that are made completely out of canvas, such as Vans and Toms. If you have a pair of shoes that lace up or have a rubber toe cap, try this method instead. Here's a list of what you'll need:
Canvas sneakers
Bleach
Water
Plastic tub
Rubber gloves
3-2. Consider removing the inserts.
If your sneakers have inserts inside, you can pull those out and set them aside. This way, they will be their original color when you put them back in. This can create a nice contrast.
3-3. Put on a pair of rubber gloves.
You want to protect your hands from the bleach solution.
3-4. Fill a plastic tub with bleach and water.
For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water.
The water-bleach solution needs to be deep enough so that you can submerge the shoes completely.
The plastic tub needs to be long enough so that you can sit your shoes inside.
3-5. Place your sneakers in the plastic tub.
Try to set them upside down in the tub. This way, more of the fabric gets covered with bleach.
3-6. Leave the sneakers in the tub until you get the desired effect.
This will take one to five hours, depending on how dark the shoes are to begin with, and how light you want them to become. Keep in mind that some of the darker colors will never fully turn white. Some colors, such as black, will turn orange or brown.
Be sure to check back on the shoes every 10 to 60 minutes.
3-7. Take the shoes out of the bleach solution and wash them using soap and water.
This will stop the bleach from acting. It will also get rid of the smell.
3-8. Let the shoes dry before lacing them back up.
It will take about three hours for them to fully dry.
4. Using a Spray Bottle
4-1. Gather your supplies.
You can use a spray bottle to completely cover your sneakers with bleach, or to splatter them. Here's a lit of what you will need:
Canvas sneakers
Bleach
Water
Spray bottle with nozzle
Rubber gloves
4-2. Consider taking the laces out of your sneakers.
This will help you bleach them more evenly, and prevent you from damaging the laces.
4-3. Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Even though you are working with a spray bottle, there is a good chance that some bleach may drip onto your skin. The gloves will keep your skin safe.
4-4. Fill a clean spray bottle with bleach and water.
For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water. The bottle should have a nozzle with two to three settings: spray, mist, and off.
4-5. Close the spray bottle and shake it.
This will mix up the bleach and water inside.
4-6. Start spraying your shoes.
Use the "spray" setting to squirt a few splatters onto your sneakers. This will give you a sort of galaxy effect. Use the "mist" setting and spray your shoes all over to completely bleach them.
4-7. Set the shoes out to dry.
This may take around 20 minutes to several hours. The longer you leave them out, the lighter they will become. Keep in mind that some darker fabrics will never turn white. Some, such as black, may turn brown or orange.
4-8. Consider washing your shoes with soap and water once you get the color you want.
This will not only stop the bleach from acting, but it will also get rid of the smell.
4-9. Re-lace your sneakers if you took the laces out.
5. Drawing Designs with Bleach
5-1. Gather your supplies.
You don't have to bleach your shoes all the way; you can paint or draw designs onto them as well. Here's a list of what you will need:
Canvas sneakers
Bowl
Bleach
Small, cheap, stiff-bristled paintbrush
Bleach pen (optional)
5-2. Plan out your design.
Once you start drawing on your shoes, it will be impossible to erase the bleach. Get out a piece of paper and a pen or pencil, and sketch out your design.
5-3. Consider copying your design onto your sneakers using a pencil.
This will allow you to see where you are drawing and keep you from making mistakes.
5-4. Pour some bleach into a bowl and get out a cheap, thin paint brush.
Make sure that the bristles are stiff and made of plastic. If the bristles are too soft, they won't hold the bleach. If they are made of natural fibers, such as boar bristle, sable, or camel hair, the bleach will eat through them.
You can also use a bleach pen, although some people find those difficult to control. Consider testing the bleach pen out on some scrap fabric first.
5-5. Start drawing your design onto your shoes.
The bleach won't work at first, but after a while, you should see the colors start to fade. It will take about an hour or so.
Keep in mind that some designs won't fade completely to white. If you want really white designs, you may want to try drawing them with a white, opaque fabric pen instead.
5-6. Consider rinsing the shoes once you are happy with the lightness.
This will stop the bleach from acting, and prevent it from deteriorating the fabric.
Tips
Bleach may cause any rubber toe caps to discolor. If you are worried about this, cover them up with duct tape.
Warnings
Be careful with the bleach. If you start to feel lightheaded at any point, take a break and get some fresh air.
Not all fabric turns white. Some of the darker colors may turn pink or orange.
Keep an eye on the fabric. Bleach can eat through fabric and create holes.

How to Bleach Colored Clothes Without Ruining Them
|
1. Choosing and Testing Bleach
1-1. Check the care tag on your clothes to see if they can safely be bleached.
Take a look at the label on the clothes you want to bleach. Look for a triangle with an open center to indicate that you can use regular bleach, or a triangle with 2 diagonal stripes in the center to indicate that you should use non-chlorine bleach. If your clothes can't be bleached, there will be a triangle with an X through it on the tag.
Almost all colored clothes will indicate that you should use non-chlorine bleach.
Some clothes will not be safe to bleach with any type of bleach.
Avoid using bleach on acetates, silk, spandex, and wool.
1-2. Use color-fast bleach to get rid of hard-to-remove stains.
When you are buying bleach, be sure to look for color-fast bleach that is safe to use on colored clothes. Color-fast bleach is also called non-chlorine bleach or oxygen bleach.
Avoid using chlorine bleach for colored clothing, since it lifts color from fabric and causes fading and white stains on your clothes.
There are different types of bleach.
You can use an all-color bleach.
You can also use bleaches to remove a transfer dye. For example, if you wash a white shirt with a maroon shirt, and the maroon happens to bleed onto the white shirt. You can use bleach to remove it.
1-3. Test bleach on an inconspicuous patch if you are worried about damage.
Apply one drop of non-chlorine bleach to a spot on your clothes that will be hidden when you wear them. Wait for 3 minutes and then rinse out the bleach with water. If the clothes change color, they are not bleach-safe.
If your clothes don't have tags that tell you if they are bleach-safe, test the bleach first.
2. Using Non-Chlorine Bleach in the Washing Machine
2-1. Separate dark and light clothes.
Dark and light clothes should never be washed together because the dye from the dark clothes can stain the light fabric. It's especially important to keep darks and lights separate when you're working with bleach, since the bleach will affect the fabrics differently.
2-2. Pretreat stained garments with diluted non-chlorine bleach.
Dissolve a capful of non-chlorine bleach in a bucket or large bowl of hot water. Soak your stained clothes in the bleach and water solution for at least an hour and as long as overnight. This method is best for sweat stains.
To get rid of stiffness from bleaching, scrub your clothes with a laundry brush periodically while they soak.
2-3. Load the separated items into the washing machine.
Don't exceed your machine's recommended load size to ensure everything gets cleaned properly. Be sure to evenly distribute the clothing in the drum if you have a top-loading machine.
2-4. Put the washing machine on the correct settings for your clothes.
Wash your clothes according to the instructions on the tag. For example, your clothes might need to be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle. Follow the instructions carefully so that you don't damage your clothes.
If your clothes can be washed in hot water, use the hottest possible setting. Bleach is most effective when the water's temperature is around 130 °F (54 °C).
2-5. Follow the directions on the bleach bottle for how much to use.
In most cases, you will use ⁄4 cup (180 mL) of non-chlorine bleach for a full load of laundry. If you are only washing a few items, use less bleach.
For a heavily soiled load of laundry, you may need to use more bleach.
2-6. Pour non-chlorine bleach into the designated space in the machine.
Never pour bleach directly onto your clothes. Most washing machines have an automatic bleach dispenser that will release the bleach at the right time.
If there isn't a bleach dispenser in your washing machine, add the bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle.
2-7. Add laundry detergent to the machine and start the cycle.
You still need to use your regular detergent with the non-chlorine bleach. Measure out the amount recommended on the packaging for your load size. Then, add the detergent to the dispenser.
If your machine doesn't have a laundry detergent dispenser, add the detergent directly to the washing machine drum.
2-8. Run an extra rinse cycle to get rid of the bleach smell.
After you've washed your clothes with bleach, they might smell strongly chemical. Running the clothes through another rinse cycle should be enough to get rid of the smell.
Warnings
Don't overload the washer when bleaching your clothes.

How to Bleach Converse Shoes
|
1. Lightening Your Converse with Bleach
1-1. Remove the laces from your shoes.
If you leave them in place, they may become discolored or prevent the canvas from evenly bleaching in areas where the laces touch the shoes.
If your laces are dingy, you could bleach them separately if they are white, put them into the washing machine, or consider purchasing new ones.
1-2. Use a wet rag to wipe away any visible dirt from the shoes.
To help your shoes bleach more evenly, clear away as much visible dirt and dust as you can. If there is a lot of caked in dirt, you may even want to use a scrub brush and cold water to loosen and remove it.
This applies to the base of your shoes, too, as the entire shoe will be submerged in bleach, not just the canvassed section.
Try to use a standard fabric cleaner first before resorting to harsh chemicals like bleach.
1-3. Put the shoes facedown in a clean, plastic tub.
Take your shoes and tub to a well-ventilated area, like an open garage or an outdoor patio or yard. Make sure there are no cracks in the plastic tub to prevent bleach leaks.
If you don’t have a plastic tub, you could also use a bucket or a large plastic bowl.
1-4. Pour equal amounts of bleach and water into the tub to cover the shoes.
Wear plastic gloves and clothing that you won’t mind ruining in case you accidentally splash the bleach. Never use 100% bleach on your Converse shoes—it’s really abrasive and can eat away at the canvas or actually turn them yellow rather than white. Diluting the bleach 50/50 with water prevents those things from happening.
You do want the shoes to be completely submerged in the bleach-water mixture so they bleach evenly.
1-5. Leave the tub outdoors or in a well-ventilated area overnight.
Or, if you started the bleaching process in the morning or afternoon, set a timer for 8 hours and check your shoes after that time. Leaving them in for longer won’t hurt them. If your goal is to completely whiten your colored Converse shoes, the longer they spend in the bleach, the better.
If you are simply looking to lighten a darkly colored pair of Converse shoes, try leaving them in the bleach for 2-3 hours and then check the progress to see if they’re light enough yet.
1-6. Remove the shoes from the bleach and scrub them with soap and water.
Wearing your rubber gloves and old clothes, remove your Converse shoes from the plastic tub and take them to a kitchen sink. Rinse them in warm water, and squirt some laundry detergent onto the canvas. Use a scrub brush to clean them.
If you don’t have a scrub brush, you could use an old toothbrush.
The bleach will have already done its work, so you won’t be undoing anything, but it’s important to rinse away the bleach residue so it doesn’t transfer onto other fabrics.
Don’t forget to scrub the soles of the shoes as well as the canvas!
1-7. Repeat the process 1-2 more times if your shoes aren’t light enough.
Depending on how light or white you want your shoes to be, and how dark they were to begin with, you might need to repeat the bleaching process. Remember to always wear gloves when working with bleach and to keep the plastic tub in a well-ventilated area.
If you were simply re-whitening dingy, white Converse shoes, 1 round in the bleach tub should be enough.
1-8. Allow the shoes to air dry before lacing and wearing them again.
Leave your shoes outside in the sun or place them on a waterproof surface to let them dry out. It may take an entire day for them to get dry, depending on the humidity and moisture levels in your area.
Never put your Converse shoes into the dryer or in front of a heat source, as the heat will weaken the adhesive and change the canvas texture.
2. Decorating Your Shoes with a Bleach Pen
2-1. Take the laces out of your shoes to keep them from getting discolored.
If they are dingy, you could use this time to throw them into the washing machine or clean them by hand. If your laces are really old and thin, it may be time to consider purchasing some new ones.
Removing the laces will also give you more space to work and will let you see the entire canvas clearly.
2-2. Place your shoes on a work surface covered in old newspapers.
If you don’t have old newspapers, you could use magazines, old folders, or cardboard. Create a large enough workspace for your shoes, as well as for your materials.
Work in a well-lit room if you can.
2-3. Practice drawing your design before using your bleach pen.
If you are doing something more complex, like flowers, geometric shapes, or even animals, doing a few practice runs will help prevent you from making mistakes. Use a few sheets of paper to sketch out your design, and then lay the design over top of your Converse shoes to make sure it will fit in that space.
You could also use a pencil to lightly sketch a design directly onto your shoes so you have a pattern to follow.
2-4. Use your bleach pen to create the design on your colored shoes.
Test the bleach pen on a paper towel before you start to use it, and then squeeze it gently while you draw for the best results. Take your time and enjoy being creative!
Make sure to shake your bleach pen really well before using it!
Here are some fun design ideas for your Converse: polka dots, stripes, different sized triangles and geometric shapes, a checkerboard pattern, stars, hearts, and flowers.
2-5. Re-bleach areas of your design that you want to stand out.
If there are areas that are too light or that you want to be “brighter” than the rest, simply go over that area with the bleach pen again. Be careful to not squeeze the pen too hard and cause the bleach to bleed across the canvas, though.
You could make certain dots in your polka dot pattern larger for a fun variation. Or you could emphasize a big star amidst multiple smaller stars.
2-6. Rinse your shoes in water and wash them with dish soap.
Don’t worry about washing away the work you just did—the bleach has already done its job! But you do still need to take your shoes to a sink and scrub them with dish soap and water to get rid of any bleach remnants that could stain other fabrics.
Because you aren’t working with stringent, undiluted bleach, you don’t need to worry about wearing plastic gloves while rinsing the shoes.
2-7. Let your shoes dry for several hours before re-lacing and wearing them.
Squeeze any excess water out of the shoes using some paper towels, then set the shoes aside to let them dry. You could place the shoes outside in the sun or back on your workstation.
Do not put your Converse shoes into the dryer or near any other direct heat sources because the heat can ruin the adhesive in the shoes.
Tips
For decorating your shoes, look up inspiration online on sites like Pinterest and Instagram.
Warnings
Never mix vinegar or ammonia with bleach, as that can create dangerous chemical fumes.
Always wear rubber gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when you are using bleach.

How to Bleach Cotton
|
1. Using Bleach Safely
1-1. Wear protective gear when handling bleach.
Put on rubber gloves and safety goggles if you’re concerned about splashes. Wear old clothes you wouldn’t mind getting bleach on. A white t-shirt is a good choice since a bleach stain is unlikely to show up. Or you can cover your clothes with a plastic apron.
1-2. Ventilate your workspace.
Open any doors or windows to create good airflow while you’re working. If your eyes are watering, you’re using too much bleach. Step away to get some fresh air and then dilute the bleach with more water.
1-3. Dilute bleach with water whenever you use it.
Bleach is very concentrated and can damage the material you’re using it on, so always dilute it with water before applying it to any fabric. .
1-4. Keep bleach and ammonia separate.
These two chemicals create toxic fumes when mixed together. Do not combine them, and thoroughly wash any container that held one before filling it with the other.
The same applies to vinegar and rubbing alcohol, both of which should never be mixed with bleach.
1-5. Check the tags of any item you intend to bleach.
If it says “no bleach,” do not attempt to bleach it; the garment could be ruined. If it says, “only non-chlorine bleach when needed,” this implies that non-chlorine bleach is safe occasionally, but continuous use could damage it.
If there are no words on the tag, look for a triangle shape with an open center. This is the symbol for an item that can be bleached.
Also look for the fabric composition of the item. If it’s cotton mixed with spandex, wool, or silk, avoid bleaching it since these materials can be ruined by bleach.
2. Soaking in a Bleach Solution
2-1. Fill a bucket with cold water.
Pour in enough water that the item can move freely in the solution. Be sure to either measure the water as you’re adding it or use a bucket with measurements up the side so that you know how much bleach to add.
2-2. Pour in the bleach.
Use ¼ cup (60 mL) of bleach for every gallon (3.8 L) of water. Stir with an old spoon you can dedicate just to laundry purposes. There are a variety of bleaching agents, such as sodium bisulfite and titanium dioxide. Use chlorine bleach if the item is white and non-chlorine bleach (sometimes called oxygen bleach) if the item has color.
You can also use regular chlorine bleach on a colored garment if you’re trying to lighten the color of the entire item.
You should be very careful while using Clorox. Even if it splashes on a garment by mistake, it will pull out the color of that garment automatically.
2-3. Soak the cotton item in the bleach solution.
If you’re just pre-soaking the material to remove stains before washing, only leave it in the solution for about 5 minutes. You can add a few minutes to that time if you’re working with really tough stains.
If you’re attempting to lighten the color of the fabric, leave it in chlorine bleach for up to 10 minutes.
2-4. Rinse the item with cool water.
While wearing gloves to protect your skin, rinse the item under the faucet until you’ve removed as much bleach as possible. Keep the faucet running as you slowly pour out the bleach solution so that it can be diluted even more as you dispose of it.
2-5. Neutralize it with hydrogen peroxide.
Unless you’re going to throw the item into a washing machine immediately, you’ll need to stop the bleaching action from continuing. Create a solution that’s equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide in a different bucket or in a stoppered sink. Let the item soak for about five minutes before rinsing again.
2-6. Wash normally.
Launder the item however you would normally, but if you’ve chosen to skip the neutralizing step, do not toss this item into the wash with dark colors. You will likely get bleach onto something else that you didn’t mean to. Wash it separately or with whites.
3. Using Bleach in the Washing Machine
3-1. Set your washer to the highest heat possible.
Hot water makes bleach more effective, though it can also cause chlorine bleach to release more chlorine fumes. So only use hot water with bleach in the washing machine, where the fumes will be contained.
3-2. Add detergent and bleach if your machine has a bleach dispenser.
If your washer has a special bleach dispenser, you can put everything in at once. Pour detergent into the drum or its own dispenser, place laundry in the drum, and pour bleach into its dispenser. Follow the instructions on your machine regarding amounts, but typically you can use ½ cup (120 mL) of bleach for a full-sized load. Turn on the washer and let it run normally.
3-3. Add water first if your machine doesn’t have a bleach dispenser.
Add however much detergent you need for the size of the load you’re doing and turn on the water. Let the water agitate the detergent for 5 minutes.
3-4. Add bleach 5 minutes into the cycle.
Follow the directions on your machine for how and when to add bleach. But if you’re unsure, it’s best to wait 5 minutes to add the bleach. Detergents have special enzymes that can be deactivated by bleach if the two liquids are mixed together. Waiting 5 minutes allows the enzymes to dissolve in the water first.
Use about ½ cup (120 mL) of bleach for a full-sized load.
If there are any items with color in this load, use only non-chlorine bleach.
3-5. Add the clothing to the washer.
Once the water has detergent and bleach fully mixed in, add the items you want to wash. Waiting to add them until now helps you dilute the bleach first so that none of your garments get heavy doses of bleach.
3-6. Allow the washer to run normally.
When the cycle is done, your clothes should be clean and stain-free. You may need to repeat this process for items with really tough stains.
3-7. Finished.

How to Bleach Dark Brown or Black Hair to Platinum Blonde or White
|
1. Planning Ahead for Beautiful Results
1-1. Check if your hair is healthy enough to withstand bleaching.
There is no way to avoid the serious damage to hair that this amount of bleaching incurs. Check with your hairdresser in advance to avoid disaster.
1-2. Set aside an adequate amount of time.
Bleaching dark hair to blonde, especially platinum blonde or white, requires repeating the bleaching process multiple times with several days of rest in between. Don't expect to have gorgeous blonde locks immediately: you'll need to do this gradually.
Since there will be intermediate stages when your hair is orange-tinged, coppery, or other not-quite-blonde colors, be ready to offset or mask these shades with hats, scarves, and other hair accessories.
1-3. Choose the right bleach.
There are several choices in hair dye, and it is important that you choose the right one for your hair color.
Look for a bleach kit, which contains bleach powder and liquid peroxide. This is a stronger formula suitable for dark hair.
Peroxide comes in different strengths, ranging from 10 volume to 40 volume. Note that 40 volume is too strong for general bleaching as it could burn the scalp. It is only used for tipping dark hair, in which case it does not come in contact with the skin. 30 volume will work more quickly than either 20 or 10 volume.
1-4. Perform a strand test before starting.
This is crucial: it lets you see how long you need to let the dye sit in your hair to achieve the desired shade. Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a strand-test included in the bleach kit. In general the steps are as follows:
Snip a few strands of hair from an inconspicuous place at the back of the head. Tie the strands together with a bit of string or tape them together at one end.
Mix a small amount of the bleach powder and liquid peroxide per manufacturer's instructions.
Dip the strands into the bleaching mix so that they are completely saturated.
Set a timer or keep track of how much time passes during the test.
Every five minutes, check the strands by wiping away the bleach with an old cloth.
Reapply the bleach again, and repeat the process until you have the desired shade of blonde. Now you know how long to leave the bleach in your hair.
1-5. Soak your hair in melted coconut oil overnight.
Before you bleach, massage unrefined coconut oil into your hair and scalp. This helps protect your hair from excess damage during the bleaching process. Leave it in for 14 hours for maximum benefit. You don't need to rinse the oil out before bleaching.
To protect your pillow from oil stains, wrap a towel around your hair or braid it and put on a shower cap.
2. Bleaching Your Hair
2-1. If you have long hair, section into four parts.
Use the pointed end of the tint brush to make a part from the center of your forehead to the nape of your neck. Next, divide each section in half from the tip of each ear to the top of your head.
It's important to use non-metallic pins or clips to secure each of the four sections. This is so the clips don't react with the chemicals in the bleach.
2-2. Protect your skin, eyes and clothes.
You'll want to use basic precautions when working with bleach. Put on plastic gloves and protect your eyes with goggles. Also, wear old clothes and consider putting something on the floor to protect from spills.
You can also rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly onto your forehead, ears and neck. Petroleum jelly isn't necessary for bleaching in the same way it is for dyes, to avoid stains. But it can protect against irritation in case the bleach gets on the forehead, ears, and neck.
2-3. Mix the bleach.
In a non-metallic mixing bowl, combine equal amounts of lightening powder and developer. Mix until creamy.
2-4. Apply mixture.
With your tint brush, starting 1/4-1/2 inch (about 1 cm) away from the scalp, begin applying bleach mixture.
First do one thin section from one of the back quarters, making sure it is totally saturated before moving on to the next. Clip the section back into place before moving on to the next one.
Do the two back quarters first, then the front quarters.
Work in the direction of hair growth, i.e. from roots to ends.
Work as quickly as possible: you want the hair to bleach roughly the same amount of time to achieve an even result. You can use different volumes to achieve this, as well: for example, using the quicker 30 volume up front and a 20 volume developer in back.
Once hair is saturated, put on the processing cap.
2-5. Keep track of your progress.
Check every 10 minutes until the desired result is reached.
Check the color by removing the bleach from a small section with an old cloth. If you choose to continue, remember to re-saturate this section with bleach first.
It may help to set a timer for 10 minutes to ensure consistency.
2-6. Consider applying heat with a blow dryer to speed up processing time.
Do note, however, that any heating process is likely to increase damage, so don't do this unless you're in a hurry.
This isn't recommended if it's your first time bleaching, when it's important to get a sense of how long the process takes on its own. If you choose to repeat, you can try to speed it up with heat.
2-7. After 10-20 minutes, apply bleach to the roots.
The hair at the roots process faster than the rest because of the heat of your scalp, so the bleach will work faster - so if you're opting to dye your roots, it's best to do so towards the end of the process. Use the same sectioning technique described above, this time adding the mixture to the roots only.
2-8. Rinse out the bleach.
Once your hair has reached the pale yellow stage - or you've left the product in for the maximum time recommended by the manufacturer - rinse your hair of all bleach with lukewarm water.
Shampoo lightly, preferably with a shampoo specifically formulated for bleached hair. A shampoo that contains purple toner, for example, will help eliminate brassiness and yellow tones.
Towel dry your hair and style as usual. If you can, avoid using heat products to style, as they will increase the stress and damage to your hair.
2-9. Once hair is dry, assess the results.
Only when your hair has dried completely will you be able to really see how well the bleaching session has gone. Remember, it's probably going to take at least two or three sessions within a month to transform dark hair into pale blonde or white.
2-10. Let your hair rest for two to three weeks between sessions.
Bleaching is tough on your hair. Resist the urge to bleach again immediately if you don't like what you see! Instead, use a toner after each session (see below) to balance out your color as it gradually makes its way from dark to pale.
3. Toning Your Hair
3-1. Choose a toner.
This is a crucial step for achieving a beautiful, balanced finish. Bleaching removes the color from hair's pigment, and eventually what remains is a yellow tinge - this is the natural color of keratin, or the hair's protein. Most of the time, this is not what we're after. That's where toners come in: these colors help balance out undesired tones, adding subtle nuances to your hair color and helping you get just the blonde you want.
Dark hair usually has red or orange undertones, so bleaching tends to turn it orange. Blue toners balance orange, violet toners balance yellow, and blue-violet balance orange-yellow. In short, you want a toner that contains the color opposite to your undertones on the color wheel in order to neutralize. If in doubt, take a look at a color wheel to see where you fall.
For white hair, choose a toner that is specified for white. You cannot bleach your hair white: you have to tone it.
If you have any question about which toner to pick, you may want to go to a beauty supply store for professional advice, or consult a hairdresser.
3-2. Prepare and apply the toner.
The following are general guidelines, but be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions.
Mix 1 part toner to 2 parts 10 or 20 volume developer. If you have black hair consider using 40 volume; however, keep in mind that the strength of 40 volume developer may be very harsh, and will severely burn if it touches your skin. Please seek medical attention if you receive a chemical burn!
Apply toner evenly from root to tip, using the same sectioning technique described above for bleaching.
Many toners require only 10 minutes, so apply as quickly as possible and keep close track of time.
Check your progress every 5 to 10 minutes using the same strand technique described above for bleaching.
Be careful not to overtone white hair, which can result in yellowish or grey color.
3-3. Rinse your hair.
Shampoo and condition, then style as usual.
Remember to discard any unused bleach and toning mixture when you're finished.
Tips
Shampoo as little as possible between treatments, since it strips hair of the oils it needs to stay soft and protected[10]
X
Research source
Do not process any longer after your hair has reached the pale yellow stage
If you have short hair (say, shoulder-length or shorter), consider getting heavy highlights rather than bleaching - this way you can better avoid the risk of burning your scalp.
Warnings
DO NOT use bleach to dye your eyebrows or eyelashes
40 volume developer is extremely harsh - only use it if necessary and never mix 40 volume with a toner
Read and follow the directions included in the product packaging very carefully
Do not apply bleach directly onto the scalp
If you begin to experience burning or irritation while processing, rinse your hair immediately and consult your physician
Full-out bleaching all in one day is not recommended, as it is too damaging

Bleaching removes the color from hair's pigment, and eventually what remains is a yellow tinge - this is the natural color of keratin, or the hair's protein. Most of the time, this is not what we're after. That's where toners come in: these colors help balance out undesired tones, adding subtle nuances to your hair color and helping you get just the blonde you want.\\nDark hair usually has red or orange undertones, so bleaching tends to turn it orange. Blue toners balance orange, violet toners balance yellow, and blue-violet balance orange-yellow. In short, you want a toner that contains the color opposite to your undertones on the color wheel in order to neutralize. If in doubt, take a look at a color wheel to see where you fall.\\nFor white hair, choose a toner that is specified for white. You cannot bleach your hair white: you have to tone it.\\nIf you have any question about which toner to pick, you may want to go to a beauty supply store for professional advice, or consult a hairdresser.\\n3-2. Prepare and apply the toner.\\nThe following are general guidelines, but be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions.\\nMix 1 part toner to 2 parts 10 or 20 volume developer. If you have black hair consider using 40 volume; however, keep in mind that the strength of 40 volume developer may be very harsh, and will severely burn if it touches your skin. Please seek medical attention if you receive a chemical burn!\\nApply toner evenly from root to tip, using the same sectioning technique described above for bleaching.\\nMany toners require only 10 minutes, so apply as quickly as possible and keep close track of time.\\nCheck your progress every 5 to 10 minutes using the same strand technique described above for bleaching.\\nBe careful not to overtone white hair, which can result in yellowish or grey color.\\n3-3. Rinse your hair.\\nShampoo and condition, then style as usual.\\nRemember to discard any unused bleach and toning mixture when you're finished.\\nTips\\nShampoo as little as possible between treatments, since it strips hair of the oils it needs to stay soft and protected[10]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nDo not process any longer after your hair has reached the pale yellow stage\\nIf you have short hair (say, shoulder-length or shorter), consider getting heavy highlights rather than bleaching - this way you can better avoid the risk of burning your scalp.\\nWarnings\\nDO NOT use bleach to dye your eyebrows or eyelashes\\n40 volume developer is extremely harsh - only use it if necessary and never mix 40 volume with a toner\\nRead and follow the directions included in the product packaging very carefully\\nDo not apply bleach directly onto the scalp\\nIf you begin to experience burning or irritation while processing, rinse your hair immediately and consult your physician\\nFull-out bleaching all in one day is not recommended, as it is too damaging\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"For those with merely brown hair, bleaching isn't always a serious thing.

How to Bleach Dark Hair Without It Turning Orange
|
1. Preparing Dark Hair
1-1. Condition your hair every few days for 2 weeks.
Conditioning your hair before stripping it will help it to be strong and undamaged by the bleach. Choose a sulfate-free, natural conditioner to keep your hair healthy and strong.
As another option, hair masks will also condition your hair well, as they both moisturise and keep your hair feeling lightweight.
1-2. Avoid washing your hair for 3 days prior to bleaching.
Your scalp can get irritated by the bleach if your hair has been recently washed. This is to make the bleaching process as comfortable and safe as possible.
Bleaching your hair can also make your scalp itchy, but greasy hair will help to reduce the itch.
1-3. Use a hair oil the night before.
Almond, argan, or rosehip oils are the best types to use before lightening your hair. Hair oil will nourish your hair with B vitamins, helping it to stay strong throughout the bleaching process.
Keeping your hair as healthy as possible before, during, and after bleaching will make it more likely for the bleach to work successfully, and for your hair to not turn orange.
1-4. Pick out the best bleach powder for your hair.
Bleach kits are usually sold with both the bleach powder and the developer. Bleach powders come in white, purple, or blue, and the end result usually doesn’t differ much between the three.
Reading the instructions on the box of your bleach kit will let you know what hair color and type that kit works best for.
1-5. Choose 10 or 20 volume developer for your hair.
For darker hair, 30 volume developer works faster than 10 and 20 volume, but it may lighten your hair too much or leave it damaged. Use a 10 or 20 volume developer if you are going to bleach your hair yourself at home.
Bleach developer comes in 10, 20, 30, or 40 volume units. 10 is the weakest in strength, while 40 is the strongest.
40 volume is used for highlights only by experienced hair stylists, and should never be in contact with your scalp.
2. Testing and Sectioning Your Hair
2-1. Do a strand test
Choose strands that are close to the back of your head to perform your strand test, as these are less noticeable. A strand test will give you an idea as to how your hair will react when you bleach it, and how long it will take. Bleach ultimately damages hair, and it is better to see this on a few strands rather than all of your hair.
2-2. Mix together the bleach powder and liquid developer.
Follow the instructions that came with your bleach powder and developer. Use a plastic spoon to mix these together. Make sure to use a non-metallic bowl.
You will only need a tiny amount of bleach mixture for a strand test.
2-3. Dip the hair strands into the mixture to test them.
Make sure that the strands are fully saturated by the bleach mixture. Wipe off a small amount of bleach every five minutes using an old cloth to watch your hair changing color.
Apply more bleach if the color isn’t light enough, and continue removing the bleach and applying more until you reach the desired color.
2-4. Monitor how long it takes for your hair to change color.
Every 5 minutes check on how the strand test is progressing. Keep note of the amount of time that it takes for your hair to change color.
If the strands do turn orange during the strand test, then you will know how long you can safely leave the bleach in your hair before it will turn orange.
2-5. Part your hair into 4 large sections.
Create a straight parting from the middle of your forehead down to the start of your neck. Group the hair on the left side together with a plastic clip. Part the hair on the right side horizontally into 2 sections, using the tip of your ear as the parting line. Clip each section in place, and then repeat with the hair on the left side.
These sections don’t have to be particularly neat or perfect, as they just serve to hold the hair together and out of the way.
3. Mixing and Applying the Bleach
3-1. Put on disposable gloves and drape an old towel over your shoulders.
Make sure that you put the gloves on before you begin mixing any bleach. Bleach can be very damaging to skin and fabrics, so the towel will protect you and your clothes from any bleach that drips from your hair
Many bleach kits will come with the gloves for you to use, but your own plastic or latex gloves are also fine.
A hairdressing cape will also work well instead of an old towel if you have access to one.
3-2. Mix together the bleach powder and the developer with the tint brush.
The ratio of the bleach powder to the developer will be specified on the bleach kit box. Make sure that you use a non-metallic bowl.
Place an old towel beneath the bowl to avoid the bleach damaging the surface.
3-3. Take a thin section of hair from one of the back quarters.
Remove this section from the plastic clip, and keep the rest of your hair clipped back. This section should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick if you have thin hair, or thinner if you have thick hair.
Bleaching your hair in small sections will make sure that the bleach is applied thoroughly and evenly throughout.
3-4. Apply the bleach to this section using the tint brush.
Make sure that the bleach covers the full length of your hair, but leave the roots uncovered since the bleach may irritate your scalp. Brush the bleach through in the same direction that your hair grows, starting at the top and ending at the tip.
Work as quickly and carefully as possible, so that the first section doesn’t lighten too much before you have put the bleach into the last section.
3-5. Flip the first section over to show the side that hasn’t been bleached.
Apply bleach to this side too, brushing it through in exactly the same way. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally miss a spot.
You can group this section together, and clip it back with a plastic clip again to keep it out of the way while you bleach the rest of your hair.
3-6. Continue applying bleach to thin sections until each quarter is complete.
Repeat the bleaching process through the rest of the first quarter, the other back quarter, and the two front quarters. Remember to leave the roots unbleached for now.
By the time you have finished the final front quarter, the first back quarter will be starting to lighten.
3-7. Apply bleach to your roots if you want them bleached too.
After you have bleached all of the sections of your hair, you can also do the same to the 1 cm (0.4 in) of root hair. Bleach can make your scalp feel itchy or slightly irritated, so start out with a small, unnoticeable part of your roots first to see how it feels.
You can leave your roots unbleached if the feeling is too unpleasant.
4. Processing and Rinsing Your Hair
4-1. Monitor your hair until it has turned pale blonde.
Check your hair every couple of minutes using a mirror to watch the lightening process. Your hair will experience several color changes, going from orange to yellow to pale blonde when you have dark brown hair.
Bleach normally takes at least 30 minutes to work, but it will likely take more than 1 session to go from black to blonde.
Bleaching black hair to pale blonde will take a lot longer than other hair colors.
The amount of time that it takes for your hair to reach pale blonde will depend on your original hair color, and the type of bleach that you are using. The instructions for the bleach kit will give you an accurate length of time that the process will take.
4-2. Rinse the bleach out of your hair.
Once your hair has reached pale blonde, thoroughly rinse the bleach out straight away. Cold or lukewarm water works best.
4-3. Shampoo and condition your hair.
Make sure that the water is still cold or lukewarm, and wash your hair with shampoo and then conditioner. Natural or baby shampoos and conditioners are ideal because they are very gentle on your hair, which is necessary after bleaching.
Shampoo and conditioner which is natural and specifically designed to hydrate and moisturise your hair are also good choices.
Cold or lukewarm water is best because it closes the pores and leaves your hair shiny when it’s dry.
4-4. Dry your hair by wrapping it in a towel.
Bleach weakens your hair, so this will help to keep it protected while it’s drying. Never rub your hair with the towel, as this could weaken it further.
Don’t comb your bleached hair until it is fully dry.
5. Maintaining Your Color
5-1. Use a purple or blue shampoo twice a week to avoid brassy tones.
A shampoo that is violet toned will work to neutralize warm tones in your hair, such as yellows. A blue shampoo will neutralize orange tones. For hair that has been bleached blonde, use a specifically purple shampoo, and for hair that has been bleached to a lighter brown, use a blue-tinted purple shampoo.
Purple shampoos work by balancing out yellow tones, since purple and yellow are opposite on the color wheel. Blue shampoos balance orange tones because blue and orange are opposite on the color wheel.
5-2. Wash your hair with color-protective products.
Only using purple shampoo could give your hair a purple tinge, so alternating purple shampoo with color-protective products works well. These are designed to keep colored hair healthy, hydrated, and strong, but without the violet pigment.
Color-protective products come in the form of shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks.
5-3. Use a hair toner for a temporary fix to brassy tones.
Hair toner can help neutralize orange tones. It's a demi-permanent hair dye that needs to be applied every 6 - 8 weeks to keep the brassy tones away.
Use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to prevent removing the toner from your hair.
You can use purple shampoo in combination with hair toner, to help it stay in your hair for longer.
Hair toner is normally done at a hair salon, but there are also home options available which can be purchased from hair product stores.
5-4. Add lowlights if you are bleached blonde.
Lowlights work by darkening the hair which is already brassy, creating darker shades within your blonde hair. This reverses the orange and brassy tones through adding more color.
Lowlights are best done at a hair salon.
5-5. Install a shower water filter for a natural preventative to brassy tones.
The mineral components of hard water can cause bleached hair to become brassy. A water filter reduces the number of mineral deposits within the water source, which will help to stop your hair from turning orange.
Iron is the main element which adds orange or brassy tones.
Tips
If your roots turn out orange, don't worry. You can lift them from orange to blonde using more bleach.[23]

Arthur SebastianProfessional Hair Stylist
Expert Interview. 29 April 2019.
Try to stay within a few shades lighter than your natural color for the best results. Your hair is more likely to turn orange if you color if from very dark up to very light.
Warnings
Avoid harsh elements in contact with your bleached hair such as salt water or too much sun. This will further strip it of color and can make it brassy.

If you are aiming for pale blonde or light brunette hair, this brassy tone will not be a happy surprise. Bleaching makes your hair lighter, but doesn’t always fully strip your hair of its undertone pigments, which are often brassy oranges and reds.

How to Bleach Design Clothes
|
1. Making Stencils and Designs
1-1. Grab a clothing item that is made of mostly cotton or linen.
Bleach works the best on articles of clothing that are made up of cotton or linen, since bleach adheres well to those fibers. Avoid using high-quality materials like silk or velvet.
You can use any color clothing item that you’d like besides white.
1-2. Print out or draw a design onto normal paper.
Choose any design that you’d like to and either draw in pencil or print it out onto a plain sheet of white paper. Make your design large and not too intricate so that it shows up well on your item of clothing.
If you have a Cricut maker, you can use it to cut letters and designs out of freezer paper. This is great for more intricate, detailed designs.
1-3. Turn the paper over and lay it face down on a sheet of freezer paper.
Freezer paper has 2 sides to it. 1 side is plain paper that you can write on and the other has a waxy coating on it. Lay your paper with a design on it on the waxy side of the freezer paper.
You can find freezer paper in the baking section of most grocery stores.
1-4. Cut out your design in freezer paper using a razor blade.
Set your freezer paper and design onto a rubber cutting mat so that you don’t damage any surfaces in your home. Use a razor blade to carefully cut your design out in the freezer paper.
A razor blade will help you get the most detail in your design.
1-5. Use painter’s tape for a geometric design.
If you want to make stripes, squares, or triangles on your clothing item, place thin pieces of painter’s tape onto your shirt or pants instead of a stencil. Make sure you press your tape fully onto the clothing item so that no bleach can leak through.
You can also use painter’s tape to make simple letters.
2. Bleaching Your Design
2-1. Place a piece of cardboard on the inside of your clothing item.
Lay your item of clothing out on a flat surface. Put a piece of cardboard in between the front and the back of your clothing item. This will help to protect the other side of your shirt, pants, or sweatshirt.
2-2. Lay your design onto your clothing item and pass over it with an iron.
Position your design in the area where you’d like it to go on your clothing item. Pass a hot iron over the design gently to stick the freezer paper onto your item of clothing. Use the iron 1 to 2 times until the design is stuck to the cloth.
This will help the design stay in place as you spray it with bleach and reduce smudging.
2-3. Make a 1:1 ratio of water and bleach in a spray bottle.
Use a spray bottle that can produce a fine mist. Mix 1 part bleach and 1 part water in the spray bottle. Watering down the bleach will help it to spread more easily and create a prettier design.
Put on gloves to protect your hands before you pour the bleach.
2-4. Mist the area of your design lightly with the bleach spray.
Hold the spray bottle about 6 inches (15 cm) away from your clothing item. Gently press down on the spray bottle until the bleach solution comes out. Cover your entire area of design with the bleach spray until it is the color that you want.
The more layers of bleach that you add, the lighter your design will be.
2-5. Sprinkle bleach onto your clothes with a paintbrush for a splatter effect.
If you don’t want a full block of bleach in your design or you want to spice up the edges, dip a paintbrush in your bleach solution. Flick the paintbrush over your clothing item to create random drops of bleach. The more bleach you use, the bigger the drops will be.
Rinse your paintbrush out well after you use it to get rid of all the bleach.
2-6. Draw designs with a bleach pen for more control.
Purchase a bleach pen made for removing stains. Use this pen to draw on your clothing item and make shapes, words, or intricate patterns. The small tip of the bleach pen will give you more control over your design.
You can buy bleach pens at most home goods stores.
2-7. Take off the stencil and rinse your clothing in cold water.
If you let the bleach sit on your item of clothing, it will turn lighter and lighter as it dries. Remove the stencil and rinse your item in cold water to stop the bleach from lightening anymore. Let your item of clothing dry and then show it off to your friends!
You can wash and dry your clothing item like you normally would after you wear it.
3. Tie-Dying with Bleach
3-1. Lay a black item of clothing out on a flat surface.
Tie-dying with bleach shows up the best on a black item of clothing. Lay it out on a flat surface, like a table, where you can work with it easily.
3-2. Grab the middle of the clothing item and twist it inwards and around itself.
Use 1 hand to pinch the middle section of your clothing item and pull it slightly upwards. Wrap the item of clothing around this middle section until it creates a loose circle.
You can also roll the item of clothing up in on itself to create a different pattern with your bleach.
3-3. Wrap 5 to 10 rubber bands around your item to keep it twisted.
Use large, thick rubber bands that are sturdy enough to stay in place. Wrap a few around your item of clothing until it stays in place and isn’t likely to come undone as you work on it.
You can buy rubber bands at most home goods or office supply stores.
3-4. Make a 1:1 ratio of bleach and water in a squirt bottle.
Put on gloves to protect your hands. Use a squirt bottle with a small opening so that you can control the spray of bleach. Pour 1 part bleach and 1 part water into your squirt bottle.
3-5. Pour your bleach mixture over your item of clothing.
Protect your surfaces by placing your clothing item into a container that won’t be harmed by bleach, like a plastic bucket or tub. Use your squirt bottle to pour your bleach mixture onto your clothing item. You can do as much or as little as you’d like depending on how much bleach you’d like to be on your item.
Make sure you hit all sides of your clothing item with bleach so that it looks even.
3-6. Let the bleach sit for 30 minutes.
Allow the bleach to soak into the fabric by letting it sit. You can speed up this process by placing your bleached item in the sun. If your item is starting to get lighter than you want it to, unwrap it and rinse it right away.
3-7. Unwrap your item of clothing and rinse it out with cold water.
Take the rubber bands off of your clothing item and discard of them. Rinse your item out under a tap with cold water for 1 to 2 minutes. Let the item dry before you wear it.
You may want to wash your item on its own the first few times it gets dirty so that the bleach doesn’t transfer to any of your other clothes.

How to Bleach Dye a Sweatshirt
|
1. Preparation
1-1. Work outside or in a ventilated area.
Bleach fumes can be a little overwhelming, especially if you are working indoors in close proximity. Either find a place to set up your items outside or open up all the doors and windows you can to keep your lungs safe.
If your room doesn’t have a lot of doors or windows to open, set up a large fan to blow away the fumes.
1-2. Choose a black, 100% cotton sweatshirt.
Bleach shows up best on dark fabric that is made of mostly, if not all, cotton. Read the label on your sweatshirt to see what it is made out of and avoid fabrics like spandex and nylon.
Bleach can also damage more delicate fabrics like silk or satin.
If you don’t want to use a black sweatshirt, you can dye a dark navy or dark gray one instead.
1-3. Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Bleach is a harsh chemical that can cause skin irritation even when it is diluted. Protect your hands with rubber kitchen gloves and try to avoid getting bleach on your skin as much as possible.
You can find rubber kitchen gloves at most home goods stores.
1-4. Spread out a drop cloth or newspapers to protect your surface.
Bleach will discolor most surfaces that it touches, so it is important to keep it contained as you work. Lay down an old towel, a drop cloth, or some newspaper to protect your work surface.
You may want to wear old clothes that you don’t care about in case you get some bleach on them while you work.
2. Designs
2-1. Lay your sweatshirt out flat on a table or the ground.
Spread your sweatshirt out as flat as possible on your work area. Smooth out any wrinkles or lumps as best you can.
2-2. Scrunch the entire sweatshirt up towards the middle for a traditional design.
Grab the outermost parts of your sweatshirt one at a time, including each arm, the hood, and the pocket area. Scrunch them in towards the center of your sweatshirt so that it forms a loose ball and attach 3 to 4 rubber bands around your sweatshirt to keep it in place.
Your scrunching doesn’t have to look perfect, since random folds will create an interesting pattern.
2-3. Roll your sweatshirt from the bottom up for a striped pattern.
Fold the arms of your sweatshirt in on top of the middle. Grab the very bottom of your sweatshirt and roll it upwards on top of itself to create a tight sausage roll. Attach 5 to 6 rubber bands around the entire sweatshirt to secure it in place.
This design has more bleach on the bottom and less on the top for a nice gradient effect.
2-4. Put rubber bands around the middle of your sweatshirt for a bullseye.
Pinch the middle of your sweatshirt upwards and attach 1 rubber band around it so that it sticks up. Keep adding rubber bands to your sweatshirt downwards until the entire sweatshirt is in 1 straight line with the middle portion at the very top. Space your rubber bands out about 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart to leave room for the bleach.
This will create a bullseye design across the torso of your sweatshirt.
3. Bleach Spray
3-1. Mix 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of bleach with 1 cup (240 mL) of water in a spray bottle.
Find an empty spray bottle that has not been used to hold chemicals before. Fill it with water and bleach and shake it slightly to mix up your ingredients.
Certain chemicals like ammonia can react with bleach and create dangerous fumes. Always use a clean spray bottle to avoid any safety issues.
3-2. Spray the entire sweatshirt with bleach spray.
Hold your bottle of bleach spray about 6 inches (15 cm) away from your sweatshirt. Spray the entirety of your sweatshirt with bleach. Turn it over to get both the front and the back sides.
The more bleach you spray, the lighter your sweatshirt will be.
3-3. Let your sweatshirt sit for 1 hour.
Leave your sweatshirt on a flat surface to dry and lighten the fabric of your sweatshirt. Don’t leave it in direct sunlight, or it could get too hot.
Try not to leave your sweatshirt for longer than 1 hour, or the bleach could start to damage the fabric of your sweatshirt.
3-4. Rinse your sweatshirt in cold water in the washer or sink.
Unwrap the rubber bands from your sweatshirt. Put it in the washing machine with cold water on a low spin cycle or rinse it by hand in your sink using cold water.
The cold water stops the bleach process so your sweatshirt won’t get any lighter.
3-5. Dry your sweatshirt in the dryer or let it air dry.
You can put your sweatshirt in the dryer for a full dry cycle or let it hang on a clothesline for about 1 day until it’s dry. Try on your new bleach dyed sweatshirt to show off your style.
Tips
Bleach dye doesn’t have to look perfect, so the more creative you get with your design, the better it will look.
Warnings
Work in a well-ventilated area to protect your lungs.
Always wear rubber gloves when working with bleach to avoid skin irritation.

How to Bleach Dyed Hair
|
1. Preparing Your Hair for Bleach
1-1. Purchase an at-home hair bleaching kit from the store.
Look for and purchase a bleaching kit that’s specifically designed for all-over bleaching, not just touch-ups or roots. You can buy a bleaching kit at a drugstore, some grocery stores, a beauty supply store, or online. If this is your first time bleaching your hair, you may want to purchase the kit at a beauty supply store where you can ask for assistance.
If your hair is below your shoulders, you may want to purchase 2 kits to ensure you have enough bleach for all of your hair.
Read all of the instructions before starting to bleach your hair.
1-2. Use a deep conditioning mask every night for a week before you bleach.
Purchase a deep conditioning hair mask at a beauty supply store, pharmacy or drugstore, salon, or online. Apply the deep conditioning mask to your hair before you go to bed every night for a week before you bleach your hair. Wear a shower cap over your hair while you sleep, then wash your hair in the morning as normal.
Using a deep conditioning treatment in advance will help your hair retain moisture and help protect it against the harsh chemicals found in bleach.
1-3. Stop washing your hair a couple of days before bleaching.
Two days before you plan to bleach your hair, stop the deep conditioning treatment at night and don’t wash your hair. The natural oils that build up on your hair will protect your scalp from the bleach and will help hold moisture inside your hair during the process.
During the time you’re not washing your hair, try to avoid using any heat styling products like a flat iron or blow dryer.
1-4. Gather all your supplies in the bathroom before you begin.
Make sure you have the bleaching kit with the instructions open and available. Also, make sure you have plastic or latex gloves to wear throughout the entire process. Ensure you have at least a couple of towels available that are either white or towels that you don’t mind damaging. Protect the area around your sink with a towel. Also, put a towel around your shoulders or wear an old shirt while applying the bleach.
Be careful not to get the bleach mixture on the wall, floor, or countertop. If you do, clean it off immediately.
Ensure you have a hair coloring brush for this process. If one did not come with your kit, buy one separately at a beauty supply store, salon, or online.
1-5. Divide your hair into multiple sections using a comb.
You’re going to have to apply the bleach solution from the roots to the tips of your hair. In order to make it easier to apply, divide your hair into at least 4 sections. Divide your hair into left and right sections from the middle of your forehead to the middle of the nape of your neck. Then divide the left and right sections in half from the top of your ears to the top of your head. Hold each section up with a hair elastic or clip.
You’ll want to divide your hair into at least 4 sections, but you can divide it into even more sections if that feels more comfortable.
2. Mixing and Applying the Bleach Solution
2-1. Mix the bleach powder and developer together as instructed.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the bleach powder and the developer. In most kits, you’ll be provided with a bottle or container in which to mix the powder and developer. Once combined, put the mixture into an old bowl so it’s easier to pick up with the hair coloring brush.
Only mix one kit at a time.
Put your plastic or latex gloves on before proceeding.
2-2. Perform a strand test before you apply anything to your hair.
Separate out a 1 in (2.5 cm) square section of your hair from the back of your head. Apply the bleaching mixture to that section of hair. Wait the instructed amount of time for the bleach to process, then use your hands to rinse off the bleach mixture. Check the results.
If the bleaching kit provided a range of time to leave the bleach on your hair, you may want to test what color you get after different amounts of time. Once you’ve achieved the color you want, you’ll know the exact time to leave the bleach on the rest of your hair.
If the results do not turn out as you were expecting, stop. Pack everything back up and find another bleaching product to try.
2-3. Apply the bleach mixture to the first section of hair.
Select a section to start with and remove any clips or elastics holding that section up. Divide the section into 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strips (one at a time) using the pointy end of a comb. Apply the bleach solution to that strip of hair from root to tip. Move the completed strip aside and repeat the process until the entire section has been bleached.
Clip that section of hair back up once it’s been bleached.
2-4. Repeat the bleaching process for your remaining sections of hair.
Unclip one section at a time to apply the bleach mixture. Clip each section back up when completed. Mix the second bleaching kit if you run out of bleach mixture while applying it to your hair.
Put a plastic shower cap on your head once all sections are complete.
2-5. Allow the bleach to process for the required amount of time.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and/or your strand test to determine the length of time you need to leave the bleach on your hair in order to achieve the color you want. However, keep in mind that if you started with really dark hair, even the maximum amount of time may not lighten your hair enough in a single application. You may need to repeat the bleaching process in 1-2 weeks to achieve an even lighter result.
Be careful where you go while the bleach is on your hair. Don’t lean your head back against anything, even with a shower cap on, or you may damage your furniture.
2-6. Rinse the bleach out of your hair with warm or hot water.
Rinse the bleach out by bending over a sink and putting your head under the faucet. Or, rinse the bleach out by getting into the shower (which might be easier). Use whatever water temperature is comfortable. Once all of the bleach mixture is rinsed out of your hair, wash it with shampoo.
Your bleaching kit most likely came with a small packet of shampoo to use at this point.
Make sure to rinse your shower, tub, tiles, and shower curtain after you’re finished to remove any leftover bleaching mixture so it doesn’t damage anything.
3. Preventing Brassiness with Toner
3-1. Decide which type of toner you want to use on your hair.
Bleach removes the previous color from your hair follicles. Typically, bleach is used to remove hair color before applying a new hair color; where the new color applies multiple tones to your hair to make it look natural. When using bleach to turn your hair blonde, the results will make your hair color look unnatural. In order to make the blonde color look more natural, you need to use a toner to offset the unnatural tones revealed by the bleach. There are 3 types of toners available: ammonia-based, shampoos, and dye. Only the dye needs to be applied immediately after the bleach. The others require you to wait at least a couple of days.
You can purchase any of these items at a beauty supply store, salon, or online.
3-2. Determine which toner color will work best for you.
Toner comes in a variety of colors, including purple (or violet), blue, and green. None of these toners dye your hair purple, blue, or green. Instead, each toner color cancels out another color that may be caused by bleaching your hair. If your hair ends up with a yellow color, you can offset the yellow with a purple toner in order to make your hair color look more natural.
If your hair ends up with an orange color, use a blue toner.
If your hair ends up with a reddish color, use a green toner.
If you’ve bleached your hair before, you may already know what results to expect and can purchase the toner in advance.
If you’ve never bleached your hair before, you may need to wait a couple of days to determine which color of toner is needed based on your specific results.
3-3. Apply a small amount of toner hair dye to your just-bleached hair.
Apply the toner to your hair immediately while it’s still wet after you’ve rinsed out the bleach mixture and shampooed your hair. Mix 1–2 tsp (4.9–9.9 mL) of toner to ⁄2–1 c (120–240 mL) of white-colored conditioner. Apply the conditioner to your hair and allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes before rinsing away.
While you can apply a toner hair dye immediately after bleaching, it doesn’t have to be applied right away.
If you want to wait to apply the toner so you can select the right color, apply the toner using the conditioner method after shampooing your hair in the shower.
3-4. Use an ammonia-based toner 2 days after you bleached your hair.
Ammonia is very damaging to your hair and shouldn’t be used the same day that you bleached your hair (for best results). Wait a couple of days after you’ve bleached your hair before using it and don’t wash your hair within that time frame. Follow the instructions on the box of toner for the exact mixing and application instructions.
Ammonia-based toner usually comes with a bottle of the toner and a bottle of developer that have to be mixed together before using.
Once mixed, the toner can be applied to your dry hair and left for about 30 minutes, then rinsed out.
3-5. Wash your hair with a shampoo that contains colored pigments.
Purchase and use a colored shampoo to tone your hair on a regular basis. A toner shampoo can be used several times a week and simply replaces your regular shampoo in the shower. Allow the shampoo to sit on your hair for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it out and applying conditioner.
You may need to try a couple of different brands of shampoo until you find the one that works best on your hair.
4. Taking Care of Your Bleached Hair
4-1. Apply a bond repairing treatment to your bleached hair every week.
Purchase a bond repairing treatment product for your hair at a beauty supply store or online. Use the treatment once a week after you’ve bleached your hair. Apply a palmful of the product, which is typically a cream or paste, to your damp hair and leave it on your hair for at least 30 minutes. Wash your hair as normal afterwards.
If possible, leave the bond repairing treatment product on your hair overnight to get the best results. Wear a shower cap on your head while sleeping.
4-2. Avoid washing your hair with shampoo when possible.
Shampoo, in general, will cause any type of hair color treatment to fade, even those labelled as ‘color-safe.’ Every so often, when washing your hair, don’t use shampoo. Simply rinse your hair and apply conditioner. Alternatively, use a dry shampoo product instead of wetting your hair.
You can purchase dry shampoo at a beauty supply store, a drugstore or pharmacy, a salon, or online.
Dry shampoos come in a powder or spray. They do not require your hair to be wet.
4-3. Limit the use of heat styling equipment when you can.
Styling your hair with heat, whether it’s bleached or not, will damage your hair. Since bleaching your hair will dry it out and cause damage, you’ll want to avoid using heat on your bleached hair whenever possible to prevent your hair from becoming brittle and breaking.
When you do use heat to style your hair, keep it on the lowest temperature you can.
4-4. Wait as long as possible between bleachings to protect your hair.
Since bleaching products are harsh and will damage your hair, wait as long as possible between bleaching treatments to help protect your hair. For the best results, wait until your roots are just under 1 in (2.5 cm) long before bleaching them. It will normally take 4-6 weeks for your hair to grow this much.
You may want to use a root color spray product in-between bleaching treatments in order to make your roots appear the same color as the rest of your hair.
Root color spray products apply an artificial color to your hair temporarily. They only last until you wash your hair; they are not permanent.
Tips
Bleach will react differently to different hair. Don’t assume that because a friend was able to get a specific color with a bleaching kit that you’ll be able to do the same thing.[21]

Ensure you have at least a couple of towels available that are either white or towels that you don’t mind damaging. Protect the area around your sink with a towel. Also, put a towel around your shoulders or wear an old shirt while applying the bleach.\\nBe careful not to get the bleach mixture on the wall, floor, or countertop. If you do, clean it off immediately.\\nEnsure you have a hair coloring brush for this process. If one did not come with your kit, buy one separately at a beauty supply store, salon, or online.\\n1-5. Divide your hair into multiple sections using a comb.\\nYou’re going to have to apply the bleach solution from the roots to the tips of your hair. In order to make it easier to apply, divide your hair into at least 4 sections. Divide your hair into left and right sections from the middle of your forehead to the middle of the nape of your neck. Then divide the left and right sections in half from the top of your ears to the top of your head. Hold each section up with a hair elastic or clip.\\nYou’ll want to divide your hair into at least 4 sections, but you can divide it into even more sections if that feels more comfortable.\\n2. Mixing and Applying the Bleach Solution\\n2-1. Mix the bleach powder and developer together as instructed.\\nFollow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the bleach powder and the developer. In most kits, you’ll be provided with a bottle or container in which to mix the powder and developer. Once combined, put the mixture into an old bowl so it’s easier to pick up with the hair coloring brush.\\nOnly mix one kit at a time.\\nPut your plastic or latex gloves on before proceeding.\\n2-2. Perform a strand test before you apply anything to your hair.\\nSeparate out a 1 in (2.5 cm) square section of your hair from the back of your head. Apply the bleaching mixture to that section of hair. Wait the instructed amount of time for the bleach to process, then use your hands to rinse off the bleach mixture. Check the results.\\nIf the bleaching kit provided a range of time to leave the bleach on your hair, you may want to test what color you get after different amounts of time. Once you’ve achieved the color you want, you’ll know the exact time to leave the bleach on the rest of your hair.\\nIf the results do not turn out as you were expecting, stop. Pack everything back up and find another bleaching product to try.\\n2-3. Apply the bleach mixture to the first section of hair.\\nSelect a section to start with and remove any clips or elastics holding that section up. Divide the section into 1 in (2.5 cm) wide strips (one at a time) using the pointy end of a comb. Apply the bleach solution to that strip of hair from root to tip. Move the completed strip aside and repeat the process until the entire section has been bleached.\\nClip that section of hair back up once it’s been bleached.\\n2-4. Repeat the bleaching process for your remaining sections of hair.\\nUnclip one section at a time to apply the bleach mixture. Clip each section back up when completed. Mix the second bleaching kit if you run out of bleach mixture while applying it to your hair.\\nPut a plastic shower cap on your head once all sections are complete.\\n2-5. Allow the bleach to process for the required amount of time.\\nFollow the manufacturer’s instructions and/or your strand test to determine the length of time you need to leave the bleach on your hair in order to achieve the color you want. However, keep in mind that if you started with really dark hair, even the maximum amount of time may not lighten your hair enough in a single application. You may need to repeat the bleaching process in 1-2 weeks to achieve an even lighter result.\\nBe careful where you go while the bleach is on your hair. Don’t lean your head back against anything, even with a shower cap on, or you may damage your furniture.\\n2-6. Rinse the bleach out of your hair with warm or hot water.\\nRinse the bleach out by bending over a sink and putting your head under the faucet. Or, rinse the bleach out by getting into the shower (which might be easier). Use whatever water temperature is comfortable. Once all of the bleach mixture is rinsed out of your hair, wash it with shampoo.\\nYour bleaching kit most likely came with a small packet of shampoo to use at this point.\\nMake sure to rinse your shower, tub, tiles, and shower curtain after you’re finished to remove any leftover bleaching mixture so it doesn’t damage anything.\\n3. Preventing Brassiness with Toner\\n3-1. Decide which type of toner you want to use on your hair.\\nBleach removes the previous color from your hair follicles. Typically, bleach is used to remove hair color before applying a new hair color; where the new color applies multiple tones to your hair to make it look natural. When using bleach to turn your hair blonde, the results will make your hair color look unnatural. In order to make the blonde color look more natural, you need to use a toner to offset the unnatural tones revealed by the bleach. There are 3 types of toners available: ammonia-based, shampoos, and dye. Only the dye needs to be applied immediately after the bleach. The others require you to wait at least a couple of days.\\nYou can purchase any of these items at a beauty supply store, salon, or online.\\n3-2. Determine which toner color will work best for you.\\nToner comes in a variety of colors, including purple (or violet), blue, and green. None of these toners dye your hair purple, blue, or green. Instead, each toner color cancels out another color that may be caused by bleaching your hair. If your hair ends up with a yellow color, you can offset the yellow with a purple toner in order to make your hair color look more natural.\\nIf your hair ends up with an orange color, use a blue toner.\\nIf your hair ends up with a reddish color, use a green toner.\\nIf you’ve bleached your hair before, you may already know what results to expect and can purchase the toner in advance.\\nIf you’ve never bleached your hair before, you may need to wait a couple of days to determine which color of toner is needed based on your specific results.\\n3-3. Apply a small amount of toner hair dye to your just-bleached hair.\\nApply the toner to your hair immediately while it’s still wet after you’ve rinsed out the bleach mixture and shampooed your hair. Mix 1–2 tsp (4.9–9.9 mL) of toner to ⁄2–1 c (120–240 mL) of white-colored conditioner. Apply the conditioner to your hair and allow it to sit for 15-30 minutes before rinsing away.\\nWhile you can apply a toner hair dye immediately after bleaching, it doesn’t have to be applied right away.\\nIf you want to wait to apply the toner so you can select the right color, apply the toner using the conditioner method after shampooing your hair in the shower.\\n3-4. Use an ammonia-based toner 2 days after you bleached your hair.\\nAmmonia is very damaging to your hair and shouldn’t be used the same day that you bleached your hair (for best results). Wait a couple of days after you’ve bleached your hair before using it and don’t wash your hair within that time frame. Follow the instructions on the box of toner for the exact mixing and application instructions.\\nAmmonia-based toner usually comes with a bottle of the toner and a bottle of developer that have to be mixed together before using.\\nOnce mixed, the toner can be applied to your dry hair and left for about 30 minutes, then rinsed out.\\n3-5. Wash your hair with a shampoo that contains colored pigments.\\nPurchase and use a colored shampoo to tone your hair on a regular basis. A toner shampoo can be used several times a week and simply replaces your regular shampoo in the shower. Allow the shampoo to sit on your hair for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it out and applying conditioner.\\nYou may need to try a couple of different brands of shampoo until you find the one that works best on your hair.\\n4. Taking Care of Your Bleached Hair\\n4-1. Apply a bond repairing treatment to your bleached hair every week.\\nPurchase a bond repairing treatment product for your hair at a beauty supply store or online. Use the treatment once a week after you’ve bleached your hair. Apply a palmful of the product, which is typically a cream or paste, to your damp hair and leave it on your hair for at least 30 minutes. Wash your hair as normal afterwards.\\nIf possible, leave the bond repairing treatment product on your hair overnight to get the best results. Wear a shower cap on your head while sleeping.\\n4-2. Avoid washing your hair with shampoo when possible.\\nShampoo, in general, will cause any type of hair color treatment to fade, even those labelled as ‘color-safe.’ Every so often, when washing your hair, don’t use shampoo. Simply rinse your hair and apply conditioner. Alternatively, use a dry shampoo product instead of wetting your hair.\\nYou can purchase dry shampoo at a beauty supply store, a drugstore or pharmacy, a salon, or online.\\nDry shampoos come in a powder or spray. They do not require your hair to be wet.\\n4-3. Limit the use of heat styling equipment when you can.\\nStyling your hair with heat, whether it’s bleached or not, will damage your hair. Since bleaching your hair will dry it out and cause damage, you’ll want to avoid using heat on your bleached hair whenever possible to prevent your hair from becoming brittle and breaking.\\nWhen you do use heat to style your hair, keep it on the lowest temperature you can.\\n4-4. Wait as long as possible between bleachings to protect your hair.\\nSince bleaching products are harsh and will damage your hair, wait as long as possible between bleaching treatments to help protect your hair. For the best results, wait until your roots are just under 1 in (2.5 cm) long before bleaching them. It will normally take 4-6 weeks for your hair to grow this much.\\nYou may want to use a root color spray product in-between bleaching treatments in order to make your roots appear the same color as the rest of your hair.\\nRoot color spray products apply an artificial color to your hair temporarily. They only last until you wash your hair; they are not permanent.\\nTips\\nBleach will react differently to different hair. Don’t assume that because a friend was able to get a specific color with a bleaching kit that you’ll be able to do the same thing.[21]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"If you want to lighten your currently dyed hair and go blonde, the only method that will be successful is to use bleach.

How to Bleach Facial Hair
|
1. Using Commercial Bleach
1-1. Pull back your hair.
If you have longer hair, it needs to be protected from the bleach. Accidentally getting bleach on your hair can cause discoloration, so pulling longer hair back in a bun or ponytail is necessary prior to the bleaching process.
1-2. Clean your face.
Use soap and cold water. Make sure to remove any makeup, dirt, and debris from your face. When you're done, pat your face dry with a towel.
1-3. Mix your bleach according to package directions.
Your package should come with instructions that advise you on the ratios of powder and creme to use for your bleach. It should also come with a small bowl and some kind of device for mixing. Mix your bleach and cream until you have an even, consistent mixture.
1-4. Apply the mixture.
Use an applicator brush or the small spatula that came with the kit to dab the bleach on any facial hair you're treating. Dab the bleach on and do not rub it into your hair. Make sure the bleach is applied evenly across your facial hair.
Some areas you may want to bleach include dark patches of hair on your upper lip, chin, or cheeks.
1-5. Leave the bleach on for 10 minutes.
In general, it takes around 10 minutes for bleach to work. Set a timer and leave the bleach in place for this long. In the event your hair isn't bleached after 10 minutes, you can leave the bleach on for an additional five to 10 minutes.
However, if you feel a burning sensation, rinse off the bleach before 10 minutes pass.
1-6. Remove the mixture.
Use a washcloth or the spatula that came with your kit. Gently scrape off the bleach until it's mostly removed from your facial hair.
1-7. Wash your face.
Washing up afterwards is important to remove any lingering traces of bleach. Use a towel dipped in lukewarm water to gently wipe off your face. If your skin is irritated from the bleach, apply a fragrance-free facial moisturizer to your face.
2. Trying Natural Bleach
2-1. Rub a tomato on your face.
It can take a few days to have an effect, but some people find tomatoes naturally lighten and bleach facial hair. All you need to do is rub a small slice of tomato across any dark facial hair for about five minutes and then rinse off the juices.
2-2. Use a mixture of milk and papaya pulp.
Place about half a cup of papaya pulp in a bowl with a tablespoon of milk. Work this into a thick paste and then dab it on any unwanted facial hair. Leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it out and see if you notice any lightening.
2-3. Try a turmeric, salt, milk, and lemon juice mixture.
There are no rough guidelines for the amount of these ingredients to use. Simply mix salt and turmeric into lemon juice and milk until you have a thick paste. Then, scrub the mixture into your face for five minutes before rinsing it off. You may notice that your facial hair has bleached slightly.
2-4. Use sugar and lemon juice.
Mix two cups (475 mL) of sugar with a quarter cup (60 mL) of lemon juice and half a cup (120 mL) of water. Heat it over a low flame on your stove until it turns brown, stirring constantly. Let the mixture cool slightly, so it's warm to the touch but not scalding. Apply the mixture to your face using a butter knife. Use waxing strips to hold the mixture in place. Pull the mixture off in the opposite direction of your hair growth immediately. The mixture does not need to stay on. This should both lighten and remove unwanted facial hair.
3. Taking Safety Precautions
3-1. Test any materials first.
Before using any bleaching products, whether natural or store bought, apply them to a small patch of your skin first. Watch for an allergic reaction over the next day or so. If you have any irritation, you should not use that product to bleach your facial hair.
It makes sense to use a patch of skin on a hard to see place on your body, such as your arm.
3-2. Use a mild formula or natural methods for sensitive skin.
If your skin tends to be sensitive, look for mild formulas in the store when finding a bleaching product. Bleaching is a somewhat intense process for any skin type and can cause a lot of irritation if your skin is already sensitive.
3-3. Do not apply bleach over abrasions, warts, or moles.
Bleach can aggravate things like abrasions, warts, and moles. Avoid applying bleach altogether if you have existing warts and moles where your facial hair is. If you have abrasions or injuries, let them clear up before bleaching your skin.
Tips
After the process your skin would probably turn red in a few spots. This is normal and will go in a few minutes. It's nothing to worry about unless it hurts.
There are dozens of bleach brands, some are good while so many are bad for your skin. To find your product you might need to search a bit and experiment with different brands.
Avoid application of bleach around the eye area or on eyebrows.

How to Bleach Hair Blonde
|
1. Bleaching Your Hair
1-1. Gather your supplies.
You'll need to buy:
Decide what shade you're aiming for, then head to your local beauty store. Bleach powder comes in either packets or tubs; it can be more economical to buy a tub if you're planning on bleaching your hair more than once. You'll also need a tint brush (for applying products), a bowl, and plastic wrap.
Some highly rated options on Amazon include Wella, L'Oreal, Schwarzkopf and Clairol.
Developers come in strengths ranging from 10 to 40. If your hair is blonde or light brown, use a 20 or 30 volume developer. If your hair is black or very dark, you may need 40 volume developer; this is very damaging so try to avoid if possible. The lower the volume, the less damaging it is to hair. If you aren’t sure what strength to use for your hair, go with a 20-volume developer.
You can find a selection of developers on Amazon here.
If you want to go platinum, you'll need toner. It takes the yellow/orange color out of just-bleached hair. Some toners can make hair white, some create warm golden tones, and others create a silvery effect. If you aren't sure, ask someone at the beauty supply store to assist you.You can find a variety of toners on Amazon here.
1-2. Combine the bleach powder and developer to create the mixture.
Normally the instructions will tell you to add bleach powder and developer at a 1:1 ratio, but you can double check your product for specifics. Put the powder in a mixing bowl and mix in the correct ratio of developer using a spatula or spoon.
Bleach powder and developer is usually measured in scoops, meaning you use the plastic scooper that comes with a tub of bleach powder. For a 1:1 ratio, you’d mix 1 scoop of bleach powder and 1 scoop of developer.
The mixture will not look blonde; it should be blueish-white or blue. It also shouldn’t be too soupy or too thick. It should have a consistency like gravy.
If you're using it, now is the time to mix in the red gold color corrector. Follow the instructions on the bottle.
1-3. Apply the bleach to completely dry hair.
Use the tinting brush to paint on the mixture, one section at a time. Really saturate your hair with the mixture. Work from the ends of your hair up to within a few inches of the roots – these come last because they tend to process the bleach more quickly. To avoid hot roots, do not put bleach near your scalp while working with the ends of your hair.
If you have dark hair, wait 20 minutes after applying the bleach to your ends before putting it on the roots.
Keep a towel nearby to wipe bleach off your face or arms.
1-4. Cover your hair with a sheet of plastic wrap.
Set a timer for 15 minutes to start. Check your hair's color by wetting a section with water from a spray bottle, then toweling the bleach off. If your hair still looks dark, reapply a little bleach to the section you wiped off, and let the bleach sit in your hair for another 10 minutes.
The bleach will cause your head to feel warm; it may sting. If it gets painful, wash it out immediately.
1-5. Keep checking until your hair is sufficiently light.
Go in 10 minutes intervals until you reach your desired shade. Do not let the bleach sit for more than an hour. It won't make your hair any lighter, and could cause serious damage to your hair and scalp.
1-6. Rinse the bleach from your hair with cold water.
Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Do not use a shampoo, since you just stripped your hair of all oils. Follow up with a deep conditioner or hair masque.
Avoid shampooing for 24 to 48 hours, if possible.
1-7. Towel your hair and allow it to air try.
Avoid blow drying it right after bleaching, as further damage may occur. Your hair should now be a yellow blonde color. It's fine to stop there if you like the results. If you want to make it platinum, you must also tone it.
2. Toning Your Hair
2-1. Make the toner mixture.
In a mixing bowl, mix one part toner to two parts volume 20 developer. The mixture will look blue. Remember to wear gloves to avoid getting the products on your hands.
Toning your hair after bleaching it will help get rid of any orange in your hair.
2-2. Apply the toner.
Use a clean tinting brush to cover your hair in toner in sections, exactly the same way you applied the bleach mixture. If you ended up with hot roots, pay special attention to those.
Some toners work on dry hair, while others can be used on wet hair. Read the instructions to be sure you are using it right.
2-3. Let the toner sit on your hair for about 30 minutes.
Check the instructions on the bottle to determine exactly how long the toner should stay in your hair. It's usually approximately 30 minutes.
2-4. Rinse the toner from your hair with cold water.
Run your hair under water until the water runs clear.
Use a shampoo made for bleached hair to make sure all the toner is removed.
2-5. Condition your hair.
Use a deep conditioner for color treated hair. For the next few weeks, treat your hair carefully. Don't use too much heat, and avoid excess chemicals.
Tips
Use deep conditioning treatments frequently while your hair is bleached.
To maintain the blonde color, bleach your roots every 4-5 weeks.
When in doubt, make an appointment at a hair salon.
Warnings
Make sure to wear gloves and protective clothing.
Volume 40 and 50 developer is extremely strong and will more than likely severely damage your hair. It could even cause it to fall out. These are for very dark hair.
Do not use household bleaches or Clorox on your hair. These chemicals are dangerous to use on your body.
If your scalp is sensitive or you have dandruff, keep bleaching to a minimum.

How to Bleach Hair Without Damaging It
|
1. Prepping Your Hair
1-1. Use a deep conditioning mask daily in the week before bleaching.
Since bleaching your hair depletes it of moisture, add extra moisture to your hair in the days prior to bleaching it. Purchase a deep conditioning mask and follow the directions to apply it to your hair. Coat your entire head of hair with the treatment, then let it sit for the recommended period of time. Rinse the treatment out with cool water.
Repeat the treatment every day for a full week before you bleach your hair.
The cool water will close your hair shaft and make your hair look shiny.
As an example, you might leave the treatment on for 30 minutes.
1-2. Test the bleach 48 hours in advance to check for a reaction.
Mix up a small amount of bleach about 48 hours before you plan to bleach your hair. Mix 1 part bleach powder and 2 parts developer/peroxide. Apply a dab of the bleach on your skin and coat a strand of your hair. Let the bleach sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it off and check your results.
See if the shade of your strand is your desired shade. This will give you an idea of what your hair will look like after you bleach it. If necessary, you can adjust the processing time to get a lighter or darker shade.
Make sure that your skin isn’t irritated from the bleach. If it is, you might decide that bleaching isn't right for you or you may shorten your processing time.
1-3. Wash your hair 24 hours before bleaching it so natural oils build up.
Your natural oils will protect your scalp from bleach damage. To allow your skin time for your natural oils to develop, shampoo your hair 24 hours before you plan to bleach it. After you shampoo, use a conditioner to moisturize your hair.
It’s okay to wash your hair 48 hours before you bleach it if you prefer.
2. Minimizing Bleach Damage
2-1. Get your hair professionally bleached for best results.
Professional salons have better bleaching formulas than the ones you find over-the-counter, so a professional bleaching typically causes less damage. Additionally, trained hair stylists know the best way to apply the bleach to minimize damage. Make an appointment with a hair stylist to have your hair professionally bleached to help prevent damage.
Ask you stylist how light they think you can go in 1 appointment. They can advise you on the best way to get the results you want.
2-2. Look for bleach with nourishing ingredients if you're doing it yourself.
Use bleach that's formulated for use on your hair. Additionally, choose a higher-quality bleach that includes additives that can improve your hair quality and preserve the health of your hair. Read the label on your hair bleach to find 1 that says it helps prevent damage.
For instance, Brazilian Bond Builder and Olaplex can both be mixed into bleach to help minimize damage to your hair.
2-3. Use a 10- or 20-volume developer to minimize damage.
Low volume developers produce weaker bleach, so they cause less damage to your hair. It will likely take you longer to achieve your desired results with a 10- or 20-volume developer, but it'll help you minimize the damage. Choose a bleaching kit that has a low volume developer or purchase your bleach powder and volume developer separately so you can choose a low volume developer.
You can find a 10- or 20-volume developer at a beauty supply store or online.
2-4. Lighten your hair slowly if you have dark hair.
Removing the pigment from dark hair requires a longer process, which causes more damage. You might be able to minimize the damage by bleaching your hair multiple times over a period of time until you reach your desired shade. Give your hair at least 10 days to recover in between bleaching sessions. During this time, use your deep conditioner every day to help repair your hair.
For instance, you might bleach your hair 3 times over a 6-week period, giving your hair 2 weeks to recover in between bleachings.
2-5. Shorten your processing time to 30 minutes or less if your hair is dyed.
You can bleach dyed hair, but it will likely cause more damage to your hair. Additionally, your hair likely won't lighten as much as natural hair would. Leave the bleach on your hair for no more than 30 minutes at a time if you've previously dyed your hair.
It's best to see a professional stylist if you have dyed hair.
Your hair may look patchy after you bleach it if your hair was previously dyed. If this happens, see your stylist for advice on how to cover it without further damaging your hair.
3. Mixing Your Bleach at Home
3-1. Cover your shoulders with an old towel to protect from the bleach.
You might drip bleach while you’re applying it to your hair. To protect your skin and clothing, drape an old towel over your shoulders before you bleach your hair.
Choose a towel that you don’t mind damaging. If bleach gets on the towel, it will cause discoloration.
If you have a hairdresser’s cape, use it to protect your skin and clothing. You can find an inexpensive hairdresser’s cape at a beauty supply store or online.
3-2. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
Bleach can irritate your skin and may cause chemical burns, so protect your hands using gloves. Use plastic gloves that you can throw away once you’re done.
Put on your gloves before you handle the bleach ingredients.
3-3. Add 1 part blue or purple bleach powder to a plastic mixing bowl.
Follow the directions on your bleach powder or bleaching kit to measure out the powder. Then, put the powder into a plastic mixing bowl.
Blue or purple powder reduces the risk of brassiness after you bleach your hair.
You can find bleaching powder and a plastic mixing bowl at your local beauty supply store or online.
Always use a plastic bowl when handling bleach because bleach can react with metal.
3-4. Add 2 parts liquid developer/peroxide to the bowl.
Follow the directions on the packaging to measure out your developer/peroxide. Then, pour the developer/peroxide into the mixing bowl with the bleach powder. You may notice some bubbling as the ingredients combine.
If you’re bleaching blond hair, use a 10-volume developer.
Use a 20-volume developer for light brown hair.
If you have dark brown hair or black hair, you may need a 30- or 40-volume developer. However, it's best to stick to a 20-volume developer if you want to minimize damage.
3-5. Stir the ingredients using a plastic brush applicator.
Dip the bristled end of a plastic brush applicator into the bleach ingredients. Use the brush to stir the developer/peroxide into the bleach powder. Continue stirring until the bleach is consistent and free of lumps.
You can find a plastic brush applicator at a local beauty supply store or online. Don't use a metal utensil, as it may react with the bleach.
4. Applying Bleach to Your Own Hair
4-1. Bleach your entire head of hair
Divide your hair in half vertically, then in half horizontally to create 4 sections. Secure the top sections with plastic clips. Start applying bleach to one of the bottom sections, working from the ends up to the roots. Repeat the process on the other bottom section, then do the same for the top sections. Make sure all of your hair is evenly coated with bleach from root to tip.
If you have very thick hair, you might create 6 sections to make it easier to apply the bleach evenly.
If you feel like a section is too big, it’s okay to divide it into smaller sections so that it’s easier to apply the bleach evenly. You don’t want to miss a spot.
Do your best not to get the bleach on your scalp. The bleach may burn or irritate your scalp if it gets on your skin.
4-2. Use a highlighting cap to do highlights.
Place a highlighting cap over your hair, then pull your hair through the holes in it. Pull the hair through all of the holes or just some of them, depending on how many highlights you want. Use your applicator brush to cover all of the exposed hair with bleach. Make sure you coat just the strands, not the cap itself.
If you apply bleach onto the cap, it may seep through the holes and onto the rest of your hair. This might create splotches on your hair.
4-3. Bleach different sized pieces of hair for a balayage effect.
Clip up the top part of your hair and start with the bottom section. Pick up a thin piece of hair from the bottom section. Bring it over your shoulder and use your fingers or an applicator brush to paint bleach on the section. Move to the other side of your head, pick up another wispy piece, and paint the piece with bleach. Alternate back and forth highlighting pieces of hair.
Cover the bleached hair with foil to keep them separate, then let down the top part of your hair. Apply the bleach to wispy sections of the top portion to complete your highlights, then cover the bleached hair with foil.
Balayage creates more natural-looking highlights than a highlighting cap or the foil method. It's okay for your bleached pieces to be different sizes.
4-4. Cover your hair in plastic wrap or a shower cap.
Covering your head will keep in the heat, which helps the bleach process. Use plastic wrap from your kitchen or a regular shower cap. Put it over your head to seal in the natural heat from your head.
It’s okay to bleach your hair without covering it in plastic. However, your hair will process better if you cover your hair.
4-5. Check your hair color every 5-10 minutes to see if you like it.
After the bleach has been on your hair for 5-10 minutes, wipe off a small amount of bleach to check the color. If it’s not your desired shade, allow the bleach to sit for another 5-10 minutes. Continue to check your hair until you’re happy with the shade or it’s been 40 minutes.
Keep in mind that the bleach will cause less damage if it’s on your hair for a shorter amount of time.
4-6. Let the bleach set for up to 40 minutes.
Bleach starts working immediately, but it may take time to reach your desired shade. Allow the bleach to process for up to 40 minutes, then rinse it off.
Don’t allow the bleach to sit on your hair for longer than 40 minutes, even if your hair isn’t as light as you’d like. Doing so will cause damage and breakage to your hair.
If you’re unhappy with the color of your hair, you can bleach it again in about 10 days. Alternatively, talk to your stylist about getting your hair professionally bleached.
4-7. Wash your hair with shampoo to remove the bleach.
Rinse out the bleach using cool water. Then, use your fingers to apply a quarter-size amount of your regular shampoo to your hair. Massage the shampoo into your hair and scalp to help remove the bleach. Then, rinse your hair clean under a stream of warm water.
Make sure you remove all of the bleach from your hair. If necessary, shampoo your hair again to get out all of the bleach.
4-8. Use a deep conditioner to help restore lost moisture.
After you shampoo your hair, coat your strands with a deep conditioner. Let the conditioner sit on your hair for at least 3 minutes to give it time to work. Then, rinse out the conditioner with cool water.
The cool water will close your hair shaft so your hair looks shiny.
4-9. Let your hair air dry to avoid additional damage.
Since bleach is a chemical, it can damage your hair. After you bleach it, it’s best to avoid heat styling to prevent further damage. This may help you minimize the damage to your hair. Allow your hair to air dry after you wash out the bleach.
If you like, apply smoothing cream to your hair to help minimize frizz.
5. Caring for Bleached Hair
5-1. Use a deep conditioning mask daily for the week after bleaching.
Bleaching your hair removes the moisture, so it’s important to use a deep conditioner to repair it. For best results, use a deep conditioning mask every day during the week after you bleach your hair. Coat your entire head of hair with a deep conditioning mask, then let it sit for the amount of time recommended on your product. Rinse the mask out with cool water.
Always rinse out conditioner with cool water because it closes your hair shaft, which gives you shinier hair.
For instance, you might leave the mask on for 30 minutes.
5-2. Do a weekly bond-repairing treatment to help restore your hair.
Bond-repairing treatments are designed to repair your hair and leave it shiny. Look for a product that's labeled for bond-repairing. Apply a large dollop of the product to your hair, then comb the formula through your strands. Let the treatment set on your hair for at least 30 minutes. Then, shampoo your hair to remove the treatment and hopefully reveal softer, shinier hair.
It’s best to leave the treatment on for several hours so it has more time to work. For instance, you might leave it on overnight. Just cover your hair with a sleeping cap.
Bond-repairing treatments are available over-the-counter and through a salon. While you'll get better results at a salon, home treatments may help you achieve healthier hair.
5-3. Wash your hair with purple shampoo once a week to remove brassiness.
It’s normal for blonde hair to get brassy or orange, but purple shampoo can neutralize the discoloration. Pick a purple shampoo that’s formulated for your shade of blonde. Use your purple shampoo once a week in place of your regular shampoo.
Ask your stylist for a recommendation.
You can purchase purple shampoo at a salon or online.
5-4. Bleach your roots every 4-6 weeks to keep your color consistent.
It’s best to bleach your roots before they get too long so that you don’t get a noticeable shade difference. If you wait too long, you might need to bleach your entire head of hair to get a consistent blonde. Touch up your hair every 4 weeks if it grows quickly or every 6 weeks if your hair grows slowly.
Try not to let your roots get more than about .75 in (1.9 cm) long.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Prepping Your Hair\\n1-1. Use a deep conditioning mask daily in the week before bleaching.\\nSince bleaching your hair depletes it of moisture, add extra moisture to your hair in the days prior to bleaching it. Purchase a deep conditioning mask and follow the directions to apply it to your hair. Coat your entire head of hair with the treatment, then let it sit for the recommended period of time. Rinse the treatment out with cool water.\\nRepeat the treatment every day for a full week before you bleach your hair.\\nThe cool water will close your hair shaft and make your hair look shiny.\\nAs an example, you might leave the treatment on for 30 minutes.\\n1-2. Test the bleach 48 hours in advance to check for a reaction.\\nMix up a small amount of bleach about 48 hours before you plan to bleach your hair. Mix 1 part bleach powder and 2 parts developer/peroxide. Apply a dab of the bleach on your skin and coat a strand of your hair. Let the bleach sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it off and check your results.\\nSee if the shade of your strand is your desired shade. This will give you an idea of what your hair will look like after you bleach it. If necessary, you can adjust the processing time to get a lighter or darker shade.\\nMake sure that your skin isn’t irritated from the bleach. If it is, you might decide that bleaching isn't right for you or you may shorten your processing time.\\n1-3. Wash your hair 24 hours before bleaching it so natural oils build up.\\nYour natural oils will protect your scalp from bleach damage. To allow your skin time for your natural oils to develop, shampoo your hair 24 hours before you plan to bleach it. After you shampoo, use a conditioner to moisturize your hair.\\nIt’s okay to wash your hair 48 hours before you bleach it if you prefer.\\n2. Minimizing Bleach Damage\\n2-1. Get your hair professionally bleached for best results.\\nProfessional salons have better bleaching formulas than the ones you find over-the-counter, so a professional bleaching typically causes less damage. Additionally, trained hair stylists know the best way to apply the bleach to minimize damage. Make an appointment with a hair stylist to have your hair professionally bleached to help prevent damage.\\nAsk you stylist how light they think you can go in 1 appointment.

It will likely take you longer to achieve your desired results with a 10- or 20-volume developer, but it'll help you minimize the damage. Choose a bleaching kit that has a low volume developer or purchase your bleach powder and volume developer separately so you can choose a low volume developer. \\nYou can find a 10- or 20-volume developer at a beauty supply store or online.\\n2-4. Lighten your hair slowly if you have dark hair.\\nRemoving the pigment from dark hair requires a longer process, which causes more damage.

Give your hair at least 10 days to recover in between bleaching sessions. During this time, use your deep conditioner every day to help repair your hair. \\nFor instance, you might bleach your hair 3 times over a 6-week period, giving your hair 2 weeks to recover in between bleachings.\\n2-5. Shorten your processing time to 30 minutes or less if your hair is dyed.\\nYou can bleach dyed hair, but it will likely cause more damage to your hair.

Use the brush to stir the developer/peroxide into the bleach powder. Continue stirring until the bleach is consistent and free of lumps.\\nYou can find a plastic brush applicator at a local beauty supply store or online.

How to Bleach Hair with Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda
|
1. Washing and Sectioning Your Hair
1-1. Wash your hair just before you bleach it.
Your hair needs to be as clean as possible when you apply the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda so that they soak into your hair. Use your normal shampoo and conditioner to cleanse away dirt and oils. After you wash it, don’t apply any additional products, such as a leave-in conditioner or styling cream.
You don’t want to have any product or oils on your hair, as this can prevent the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda from penetrating your hair.
1-2. Let your hair air dry until it is just damp.
When you apply the hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste, your hair will absorb the lightener better if it's damp but not wet. In most cases, you should let your hair air dry for about 30 minutes. However, you may not need to wait as long if you have fine hair, and thick hair may take a little longer.
Don't use a hair dryer to speed up the process because heat is damaging to your hair. It's best to give your hair a break since you're about to do a lightening treatment, which can also be damaging.
1-3. Wear an old t-shirt and drape an old towel across your shoulders.
Since hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics, it’s best to use old clothing and towels to protect your skin. Choose items that you don’t mind ruining, just in case they get stained.
As another option, you could cover your skin with a hairdresser’s cape or even a garbage bag that has a head and arm holes cut out of it.
Cover your work surfaces with newspapers, old towels, or garbage bags to protect them from the paste. Although your hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste won't stain like hair dye, it could discolor some surfaces.
1-4. Clip your hair into 4 even sections.
Divide your hair down the middle to create 2 sections. Then, divide your hair from ear to ear to create a total of 4 sections. Secure each section with a hair clip until you’re ready to bleach it.
If you have very thick hair, you may want to create additional sections. For instance, 6-8 sections may make it easier to ensure that the paste goes on evenly.
If you only want to create highlights on the top layer of your hair, then you may not need to section it.
2. Mixing Your Paste
2-1. Put on gloves to protect your skin.
Although gloves are optional, exposing your hands to hydrogen peroxide for too long can cause skin redness and irritation. Plus, you may accidentally bleach your nails or fingers. It’s best to wear gloves to protect your hands.
Use disposable gloves or reusable kitchen gloves.
2-2. Pour 1 cup (230 g) of baking soda into a large plastic or ceramic bowl.
Measure out the baking soda, then transfer it to your bowl. After you put the baking soda in the bowl, shake it a little to break up any clumps.
2-3. Add 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Measure the 3% hydrogen peroxide and pour it over the baking soda. You may notice it fizzing, but you don’t need to worry. This is a normal reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the baking soda.
Since you’re not using much hydrogen peroxide, it may not fizz.
Don’t use higher than a 3% hydrogen peroxide, as it may damage your hair.
2-4. Stir the mixture with a plastic spoon until it has an even consistency.
Use your spoon to break up any clumps that form in your paste. Keep stirring it until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Don’t use a metal spoon, as it’s best to avoid using metal with bleaching agents. It’s possible for bleaching agents to react with metal.
3. Applying the Paste
3-1. Do a strand test before you bleach your hair to see how your hair looks.
It’s best to do a strand test before you lighten your hair to see how the results turn out. To do a strand test, coat a few strands of hair in an inconspicuous area, such as behind your ear, with the hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste, then wait 30 minutes before rinsing. This will show you how the paste affects your hair and the strands won’t be visible if you don’t like the color or if you have a reaction to the mixture.
Based on your strand test, you can decide if you want to lighten your hair with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Additionally, it will help you decide if you need to use less or more paste on your hair to get your desired look, as well as how long you need to wait to see results.
You will need to mix up more paste before you bleach your hair, as the paste you use to do the strand test will dry out.
3-2. Expect your hair to lighten 1-2 shades.
Hydrogen peroxide and bleach typically lighten your hair 1 or 2 shades, so you won't go from dark hair to blond. Keep in mind that it may bring out red, orange, or yellow tones in your hair, especially if your hair is dark. If your hair takes the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda well, you may see the following results:
Blond hair will usually turn a lighter blond.
Light brown hair may look dirty blond.
Medium brown hair usually looks light brown.
Darker browns should turn medium or golden brown.
Black hair usually turns dark or reddish brown.
Red hair may turn orange or strawberry blond.
3-3. Use a brush applicator to coat each section to lighten all of your hair.
Start with the bottom sections to make it easier to coat your hair evenly. Make sure you apply the paste to all of your hair, as missed spots will be very obvious. If you have thick hair, then you will need to separate your hair into more sections to get even coverage. When you finish a section, comb through your hair to help distribute the paste in an even layer.
Cover your head with a shower cap to keep the paste from dripping onto your body or your clothes. Additionally, the shower cap will trap in your body’s natural heat, which will help the paste bleach your hair.
3-4. Coat just your ends with the brush for an ombre effect.
Start applying the paste on the ends of your hair, which will be the lightest. Then, bring the paste up the shaft of your hair, stopping part way up your strands. Don’t try to stop the paste at the same spot each time, as this will create a blunt line that may look weird. Instead, vary your stopping point so that your hair blends well from dark to light.
Apply a thicker coating of paste at the bottom of your hair, then thin it out as you get near the top of your bleached area. This will help create a better fade into your darker hair at the top of your head. Make sure to use vertical strokes to apply the paste along the hair shaft rather than horizontal strokes.
3-5. Apply streaks of paste with an old toothbrush for highlights.
Pick up a section of hair that’s no larger than ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) across. Then, place a piece of foil below it. Starting at your roots, coat the length of the section with the paste, then fold up the foil to keep the bleached section separate from the rest of your hair. Continue to apply the paste to small sections of hair until you finish all 4 sections.
If you just want to apply highlights to your top layer, then you don’t need to worry about sectioning. However, doing highlights throughout your hair will make it look more natural, especially if you wear your hair up a lot.
3-6. Leave the paste on your hair for 30-60 minutes.
Check your hair after 30 minutes by wiping the paste off of a tiny section of hair in the back of your head. If you’re happy with the color, go ahead and rinse. If it’s not light enough yet, wait up to 60 minutes total before rinsing.
4. Removing the Paste
4-1. Rinse your hair with cool water to remove the paste.
Wet the paste to loosen it, then use your fingers to work it out of your hair. Stand under the shower jet to wash the paste out of your hair. It’s best to use cool water because it will seal your hair shaft, making your hair look shinier.
Don’t use shampoo on your hair right after you bleach it, if you can avoid it. You don’t want to stress your hair too much after lightening it.
4-2. Condition your hair, then rinse it with cool water.
Apply your normal conditioner or a toning conditioner if your color is brassy, then massage it into your scalp to help ease any irritation you may have from the hydrogen peroxide-baking soda paste. Then, let the conditioner sit on your hair for about 3 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
The cool water will close your hair shaft and make your hair look shiny.
4-3. Air dry your hair after you bleach it to avoid damaging it.
Using heating products, like a hair dryer or straightener, can damage your hair, so it’s best to skip them after bleaching your hair. Give your hair at least several days to recover before you resume using heat treatments, if you do at all.
When you heat style your hair, use a heat protectant to minimize damage. Bleaching your hair can dry it out, so take extra good care of it afterwards.
4-4. Wait at least a week between treatments if you want lighter hair.
You’re likely eager to get the look you want, but it’s best to take your time. While hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are safe to use, they can cause damage if you use them too often. If you want to lighten your hair more, wait at least a week before you bleach your hair again. However, waiting 2 weeks is even better.
This will help you keep your hair as healthy as possible while you create your new look.
Tips
Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can lighten your hair 1-2 shades in 1 treatment.
When used in small amounts, 3% hydrogen peroxide and baking soda shouldn’t damage your hair. However, your hair may show signs of damage if it’s already been dyed or treated with chemicals, or if your hair is naturally dry.
Warnings
Don’t leave hydrogen peroxide and baking soda on your hair for longer than 60 minutes, as this can damage your hair.

How to Bleach Jeans
|
1. Preparing to Bleach
1-1. Lay newspapers on your floor in case of spills.
Before you start bleaching, lay out newspapers around the area you plan to bleach. Many surfaces, especially carpeted floors, are prone to getting stained by bleach. Lay newspapers around your washing machine as well, as you will need to wash your jeans shortly after bleaching.
1-2. Change into clothes you don't mind staining.
Wear older clothes, like sweats and a T-shirt, that you won't worry about staining with bleach. You could also wear an apron, if you would prefer.
Wear thick rubber gloves to avoid irritating your skin from the solution. You may also want to wear safety goggles to avoid getting bleach in your eyes.
1-3. Choose a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling bleach fumes.
Smelling bleach on its own usually doesn't induce negative health effects, but it can make some people anxious. If you feel faint, leave the area immediately and call poison control. Keep the product label nearby, if possible, to give information to poison control specialists.
Never mix bleach with other household products. Some chemicals, when mixed with bleach, create toxic fumes. Avoid mixing bleach and ammonia, or ammonia and rubbing alcohol.
1-4. Fill a bucket or bathtub with one part water and one part bleach.
You can mix your bleach solution in a bucket, but using a bathtub makes it easy to turn on a fan and dispel fumes. Avoid a highly concentrated bleach solution. While you may get faster results, the solution will be corrosive and more likely to burn holes in the fabric.
1-5. Experiment first.
If you've never bleached jeans before, have an old pair of jeans or a patch of jean material handy. Try your solution out on your ruined jeans before you apply it to your favorite jeans. You will get a better handle of how bleach lightens jeans and whether your concentration is too strong.
Different jean colors may react in unique ways. Choose a ruined pair close to your favorite pair's color for the most accurate idea.
1-6. Use a bleach pen as an alternative.
If using straight bleach makes you squeamish, you can also opt for a bleach pen (these are available at most stores). Bleach pens won't create a quite as natural look, but they involve less clean-up and are applied more easily. You can also use a bleach pen to draw intricate designs or words onto your jeans.
2. Lightening Your Jeans
2-1. Dampen your jeans.
Bleach will dye materials better if that material is already wet. Dampen your pair of jeans in cold water before you work on them. The jeans don't need to be soaking wet, so wring them out if they are dripping water.
2-2. Dab the bleach on with a sponge, paintbrush, or spray bottle.
If you want to create patterns on your jeans, don't just put your jeans in the bleach solution. Instead, apply the bleach using one of several options.
For even, large areas, use a sponge to dab the bleach on.
For a splattered effect, use a paintbrush or toothbrush. Apply the bleach to the brush, then rub your thumb back across the bristles to achieve a splattered effect.
If you want to work quickly, fill a cheap spray bottle with the solution and apply it to areas you want lightened.
2-3. Work on one side at a time.
Focus on the front or back first, then flip the jeans over to work on the back. If you don't want to bleach a certain side, stuff your pants with newspaper before you begin. The newspaper will prevent the bleach from soaking through to the other side.
2-4. Submerge your jeans fully into the solution for an even color.
If you want to lighten your jeans entirely, soak your jeans in the bleach solution for 20-30 minutes Reposition the jeans and swirl the water every few minutes to avoid overexposing one area. Check for color changes every time you reposition, and remove the jeans when you've reached an ideal color.
Wring your jeans out over the bucket or basin to avoid staining the floor.
For a tie-dyed effect, tie rubber bands to the jeans before you submerge them. This will create a flowering pattern on the fabric.
3. Adding Final Touches
3-1. Rinse the bleach off after five minutes.
After you've finished applying the bleach or submerging your jeans, let them sit on the newspapers for five minutes. Then, rinse the jeans in cold water in either your sink or bathtub.
While your jeans are still wet, you will not have a full sense of how bleach lightened the fabric. Wait until they've dried to assess their color.
3-2. Run your jeans through the washing machine without detergent.
Carry your jeans to the washing machine, wrapping them in newspapers to avoid staining the floor. Run your jeans through the washing machine without using fabric softener or detergent, which can yellow the jeans. This will rinse out excess bleach and make them safe to wash with other clothing later.
Put the jeans alone in the washing machine, without other clothes, to avoid bleaching your other clothing.
3-3. Air-dry your jeans.
After the first time you wash your jeans, do not put them in the dryer (which can also cause yellowing). Instead, hang your jeans to dry to avoid the intense heat of a dryer. After your jeans have washed and dried, your jeans are ready to wear.
3-4. After drying, check the color.
Now that your jeans are dry, you can have an accurate understanding of the color. If your jeans are not light enough, repeat the process using the bleach solution. Repeat until the jeans have faded to your ideal color.
Tips
With bleach, less is more. Stop bleaching when you've reached a color you're happy with. Remember: you can always do more later, but once your jeans have been dyed by bleach, you can't reverse the color.
Take precautionary measures to avoid staining your clothes or floors.
Warnings
Never mix bleach with ammonia or vinegar, as both can emit a toxic gas.
If you start to feel faint, leave the area immediately.

How to Bleach Jeans White
|
1. Working with Bleach Safely
1-1. Set up your materials in a well-ventilated area.
Before you get started, crack a nearby window or switch on your air conditioning or an overhead fan to get some air moving through your work space. Chlorine bleach gives off strong fumes that could be harmful to breathe, so it’s a good idea to create as much airflow as possible.
If you have no way of ventilating your work area, make it a point to spend as little time in the room as possible throughout the bleaching process.
1-2. Pull on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands.
A pair of elbow-length dishwashing gloves is ideal for this type of project. If you don’t happen to have any of these on hand, ordinary latex or nitrile gloves will also work. Double-check that the gloves are in good condition, with no noticeable tears or holes where bleach could get in.
Longer gloves will leave less of your skin exposed to the bleach.
1-3. Put down newspaper or another protective covering in your work area.
Place a few folded sheets of newspaper around the base of the container you’ll be using to bleach your jeans. You can also use plastic sheeting, a canvas tarp, or an old bedsheet. The important thing is to provide some kind of buffer in the event of unexpected spills or splashes.
Carpet, throw rugs, bath mats, curtains, and certain types of flooring could become discolored if they get bleach on them accidentally.
2. Getting Just the Right Shade
2-1. Spot-test your jeans to make sure they’ll come out the color you want.
Combine 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of concentrated bleach with ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of cold water in a small measuring cup. Use a dropper tool or spoon to apply about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of the bleach solution to an inconspicuous part of your jeans, such as the inside of a hem or pocket, then wait about 5 minutes. The resulting color will tell you how well your jeans will react to the bleach, and what color they’re likely to turn out.
Use cold water only. Hot water will neutralize the main chemical agents in the bleach, essentially rendering it ineffective.
Different garments are dyed using different methods. If your jeans were made with regular type of dye, it should be possible to bleach them to a crisp white. If they were colored with a fiber-reactive type of dye, you’ll probably be able to strip most of the color, but may not be able to get them pure white.
2-2. Mix ⁄4–⁄2 cup (59–118 mL) of bleach with 1 gallon (3,800 mL) of water.
Fill a large container with cold water, then pour in an appropriate amount of concentrated bleach. You can increase the amounts of both components as needed if the solution doesn't fill your container, or if you're bleaching multiple pairs of jeans at once. Just be sure to keep the overall ratio around 1 part bleach for every 32-64 parts water.
If possible, always do your bleaching in a washing machine or bathtub. If that’s not an option, a deep bucket, wash tub, or solidly-built storage container with steep sides can make a suitable substitute.
To make the most of the bleach’s color-fading capabilities, you could even use a ratio as high as 1:1—that is, equal parts water and bleach.
Using too high a concentration of bleach (anything greater than about a 1:1 ratio), which is full of harsh chemicals, could cause your jeans to deteriorate prematurely.
2-3. Add your jeans to the bleach solution.
Push the jeans down beneath the surface of the solution until they’re completely submerged. Try to position the legs of the garment in a way that minimizes bunching or folding. Otherwise, different sections may accept the bleach unevenly.
Lower the jeans slowly to avoid splashing.
2-4. Soak your jeans for up to 48 hours, or until they turn completely white.
Depending on how dark your jeans are, it could take as little as a few hours or as long as 2 full days for them to lose all of their original color. Watch them closely for the first few minutes after you put them in to see how fast the dye seems to be leaving them, then keep an eye on them while they soak to monitor their progress.
Keep your work area off-limits for the entire duration that it takes to bleach your jeans if you have pets or small children at home.
2-5. Reposition your jeans in the bleach solution periodically.
Every 20-30 minutes, come back and move the jeans around so that they’re sitting in a different configuration. This will help ensure that all parts of the fabric are exposed to the bleach equally. As a result, they’re less likely to come out streaked, spotted, or showing signs of other color defects.
It’s okay to go a little longer between adjustments if you think you’ll be bleaching your jeans overnight.
Use a pair of metal tongs to rearrange the jeans if you don’t want to stick your hands directly into the bleach solution.
3. Rinsing Your Jeans Clean
3-1. Remove your jeans when you’re satisfied with their new color.
Carefully lift the jeans out of the bleach solution, allowing the excess liquid to drip off before transferring them to the sink or washing machine for a final rinsing. Drain the used solution from your bleaching container.
You’ll want to scrub your bleaching container with clean water and a little bit of fresh bleach before reusing it, especially if you used your bathtub or a container that you normally store food or water in.
3-2. Rinse your jeans thoroughly with warm water to flush out the remaining bleach.
Hold the freshly-bleached jeans under a running faucet or plunge them into a separate water-filled container. As you rinse the garment, squeeze it all over to keep the water moving continuously through the fabric. Alternatively, you can simply run your jeans through the washer on a normal wash cycle prior to wearing them again.
To dry hand-rinsed jeans, throw them in the dryer like usual or hang them up to air dry.
Be sure to keep your gloves on until you’ve diluted the lingering bleach to the point where it will no longer irritate your skin.
3-3. Wash your jeans with bleach regularly to remove even more dye.
If your jeans don’t come out quite as white as you hoped, one thing you can do is add about 1 cup (240 mL) of bleach to the washing machine during future washings. That way, you can continue stripping the color little-by-little. Eventually, they should lose the rest of their original dye altogether.
An added advantage of washing your jeans with bleach is that it lifts out more dirt and stains than detergent alone. This is good news if the pair you’re working with are particularly dingy.
If you don’t want to wait on your jeans to fade, you also have the option of repeating the entire bleaching process after washing and drying them.
Tips
The lighter your jeans are to start with, the easier it will be to fade them to a flawless white finish.
If you plan on distressing your jeans, do it before bleaching and washing them. Softening up the fibers of the denim will give man-made cuts, rips, and holes a more natural frayed look.

How to Bleach Linen
|
1. Washing Linens with Bleach
1-1. Soak the linen immediately.
For linens with stains, it is best to set them soaking as quickly as possible when you first notice the stain. Treating the stain quickly will help avoid the stain setting and becoming harder to remove later. Put the linen in a bucket or tub that is completely clean and add water. Allow to soak for at least 2 days, but you can also allow linens to soak longer.
It is often recommended to use cold water because hot water can make stains set, but others say hot water is the only way to remove stains. To be safe, stick with a cold water soak.
It’s best to agitate the water every so often. You may also want to change the water depending on how bad the stain is. If the water starts to become obviously dirty, change it out for fresh water and continue the soak.
1-2. Treat stains.
Once the linens have soaked for a while, check them for remaining stains that need further treatment. Use a modern enzyme stain treatment like Spray 'n Wash or Shout. These modern stain removers have made many traditional methods obsolete. Spray a liberal amount on specific spots that need treatment. Allow the stain treatment to soak into the cloth before moving on.
It is recommended to never use chlorine bleach, even as a spot treatment, on linens because it can cause yellowing and deteriorate the fabric.
In general, linen releases stains better than other fabrics do, so you may not actually need to do any further treatment besides soaking.
1-3. Wash the linen.
If you are working with linen that is vintage or delicate, washing by hand is almost always what you want to do. Washing machines can be abrasive because of the rapid violent movement, especially machines with a center agitator. Use gentle washing motions; never twist or scrub the linen. Wash it with warm water, a basic mild detergent, and powdered oxygen bleach. Follow the instructions on the bleach product, but in general it is concentrated pretty highly and you shouldn't need too much, only about one filled scoop. Be sure to separate white linens from dark or colored linens to avoid any bleeding of the colors or fading of the white linens.
An example of mild detergent would be something recommended for use on baby clothes like Dreft or All Free and Clear.
Oxygen bleach is usually made with sodium percarbonate, so you can look for this in the ingredients when buying. Oxi Clean is a pretty standard bleach to use.
If you are washing by hand, it is highly recommended that you wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the chemical reaction of the bleach.
If you wash linen in a washing machine, make sure it is on the gentle cycle.
1-4. Rinse the linen thoroughly.
Most wash cycles have a rinse as part of it, but it can be good to send the linens through an extra rinse cycle. When washing by hand, rinse multiple times in fresh water each time.
1-5. Check to see if the linen condition has improved.
After all this, the stain you are fighting may still be present or the yellowing may not have subsided. If this is the case, it can be worthwhile to treat the stain a second time. Put the linen through the wash a second time.
1-6. Allow linen to air dry.
It is generally recommended that you never dry linens in the dryer. It is better for the fabric to have time to air dry. Laying the linen out flat will let it dry the best, although this is not always an option. You can also hang it on a clothesline, or drape it on a porch railing. If you do the latter, you will want to cover the railing with another cloth to keep the linen clean.
Depending on what the linen is for and if you are going to use it immediately, this is a good time to iron the linen while it is still damp.
Tumble drying linen can cause it to wear out faster and to shrink.
2. Bleaching Without Bleach
2-1. Let the sun do the work.
Place your linens in direct sunlight, which is a natural way to bleach fabrics. It’s been a standard practice for centuries and still works wonders today. You can leave the linen in the sun for a few hours or up to a week depending on how well the piece is bleaching. Check it every so often to make sure it is not becoming damaged by prolonged exposure.
Make sure the linen is damp when you lay it out in the sun. This will help it bleach better. You can either hang it on a clothes line, or if the piece is small enough, you can set it on a table or hang in off of your porch. You may want to consider putting a separate cloth over any wood or other surfaces the linen will touch to keep it clean.
Spread the linen out flat and flip it periodically for the best bleach.
The length of time you should leave the linen out can vary. Some people find that leaving it out for multiple days or a whole week gives the best results. Others feel that too much sun exposure can damage the fabric. Your best bet is to keep a watchful eye on your piece and make sure it doesn’t seem to become damaged. You could also avoid this by continuing to dampen it each day if you are leaving it out for a while.
If you have particularly dark stains, try spraying a mixture of lemon juice and water on the spots before you put it in the sun. This will give those spots a boost to help reduce the stains.
2-2. Use non-bleach alternatives in your laundry.
Since bleach irritates a lot of people’s skin, it can be helpful to try out more natural alternatives which you can add right into your regular laundry loads. Lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide are all good stain removing and bleaching remedies. These are obviously less harsh methods, so they may also be less powerful than chemical bleach.
Try adding ¼ cup to ½ cup of lemon juice, ½ cup of baking soda or hydrogen peroxide (3%), or ½ cup to 1 cup of distilled white vinegar to your regular detergent.
To pre-treat the stains before washing, you can use a solution made out of ½ cup of baking soda, ¼ cup of liquid dish soap, and 4 cups of water.
2-3. Heat and soak on the stove with salt and baking soda.
This can be an especially good option for small linen items like napkins or handkerchiefs. Place the linens in a large pot of water and add ¼ cup salt and ½ cup baking soda, mixing both in well with the water. Place on the stove. Bring to a boil, and then turn off the burner. Leave these on the stove for 2 to 3 days.
You might want to change the water a couple times, but it is not absolutely necessary. You can also reheat the water a couple of times to boost the effect.
Tips
This can be a time consuming process, so if the linens are for something special and time sensitive, allow plenty of time before they are needed.
Just stay away from chlorine bleach for linens. It is not worth the damage you can do.

How to Bleach Pants
|
1. Dip Dyeing
1-1. Choose your pants.
Before you decide to go ahead and bleach any pair of pants in your wardrobe, take some time to consider the fabric and quality of the pants.
Bleaching works best on fabrics like denim, cotton, rayon, linen and polyester. The pants should also be of fairly good quality, as bleaching can disintegrate thin or weak fabrics.
Before you decide to bleach your favorite pair of jeans, it may be a good idea to test the bleaching process out with an older pair first. Good quality, second-hand jeans from a thrift store are perfect for this.
Just make sure that the pants you are bleaching have no holes or tears, as the bleach can eat away at the edges and cause them to widen.
1-2. Decide if you'd like to bleach the entire garment or tie dye.
Depending on what kind of look you are trying to achieve, you can either bleach the pants so they are uniformly lightened all over or you can tie them to achieve a funky tie dyed look.
If you want them bleached evenly, you don't need to do anything, but if you want to create a tie dye effect, you will need to ball the pants up in your hands, then use two large rubber bands to hold the pants in the ball shape.
1-3. Put on a pair of latex gloves to protect yourself from the bleach.
Bleach is corrosive and can damage your skin, so it is best to protect your hands with a pair of latex or rubber gloves.
You may also want to change into an old pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, as any splashes could bleach your clothing.
1-4. Make the bleach solution.
To make the bleach solution, you will need to mix one part bleach with either four parts or three parts water, depending on how light you want the pants to be and how quickly you need to bleach them. Any kind of bleach can be used; even generic brands will work just fine.
Mix the solution in a large plastic tub or basin, or a sink that you will not be using for several hours.
New, fresh bleach will work better than old bleach and will be more effective when mixed with warm water, rather than cold.
The volume of solution does not matter as long as there is enough to completely submerge the pants.
1-5. Place the pants in the bleach solution.
Place the pants - either loose or tied with rubber bands - into the bleach solution. Mix them around for a minute or two to ensure that they are completely submerged in the bleach and water.
Bleach will process better on damp material, so it is a good idea to rinse the jeans in some warm water to dampen them before placing them in the bleach solution.
1-6. Leave to soak for several hours.
Once you are happy that your pants are completely soaked in the bleach solution, all you need to do it sit back and let it process. The time this takes will vary completely, depending on the fabric and level of bleaching you wish to achieve.
If you just want to lighten the pants very slightly, you may only need to soak them for under an hour. On the other hand, if you wish to lighten very dark jeans, it may take several hour or overnight.
Check on the pants every hour or so to see if they've reached the desired level of bleaching. Keep in mind that they will be a shade or two once they're dry.
1-7. Rinse them out.
Once you are happy that the pants have been bleached to your liking, you will need to remove them from the bleach solution and rinse them thoroughly. The best way to do this is to use the spin cycle on your washing machine.
Make sure to put the pants in the washing machine on their own, otherwise the excess bleach could stain your other clothes!
If you went with the tie dye option, remember to remove the rubber bands before rinsing.
1-8. Dry the pants.
Hang your pants in a well-ventilated or outdoor area until dry, or put them in your dryer.
2. Spray Bleaching
2-1. Mix bleach and water in a spray bottle.
In a clean plastic spray bottle, mix one part bleach with three parts water.
2-2. Lay your pants on a plastic tarp or newspaper.
Lay the pants you wish to bleach out flat on a plastic tarp or sheets of newspaper. This will prevent your flooring from becoming stained by the bleach.
If you only want to bleach one side of the jeans, stuff the legs full of balled-up newspaper to prevent the bleach from soaking through.
2-3. Wear safety goggles.
As you will be spraying the bleach, it is a good idea to wear safety goggles to protect your eyes.
2-4. Start spraying.
Start spraying your jeans with the bleach. If you have a plastic bottle with an adjustable nozzle, you can decide whether you want to spray the jeans with a concentrated blast of bleach (for an all-over bleached effect) or lightly mist the jeans with bleach (for more of a weathered look).
2-5. Add extra detail.
The great thing about this bleaching method is that you can be more precise in terms of the details you wish to add. Use masking tape to create a stencil on the pants (stars, stripes, crosses) and spray inside the stencil to create funky bleached designs.
Dip a paint brush into the bleach solution and, wearing latex gloves, flick the bristles backwards onto the pants to create a cool splatter effect with the bleach. Just be very careful to flick the bleach onto the pants and not onto your face.
Dip a sponge into the bleach mixture and dab it onto specific areas of the pants. Try dabbing it along the seams, around the pockets and along the belt line for a designer effect.
Use a bleach pen to draw more intricate designs onto the pants .
2-6. Leave the bleach to sit.
Once you are happy with your designs, you should leave the bleach to sit on the pants for about five to ten minutes to soak in.
2-7. Rinse and dry the pants.
Put the pants through a normal wash cycle in your washing machine, without adding detergent. Dry thoroughly.
3. Machine Bleaching
3-1. Pre-soak the pants in water and bleach.
Place the pants in a plastic bucket or basin filled with a gallon of warm water and a 1/4 cup of bleach. Stir to soak the pants, then leave to sit for 5 minutes.
3-2. Set your washing machine to warm/hot.
For best results, you should use a warm/hot setting on your washing machine. However, be sure to check the care label on your pants first; if it specifically states that they should be washed in cold water, then use cold water.
3-3. Put the pants in the washing machine.
Remove the pants from the bleach solution and add them to your washing machine. If you have any white towels you wish to freshen up with a little bleach, you can add them to the washing machine too.
3-4. Add laundry detergent and bleach.
Add the regular amount of your usual laundry detergent to the washer, then add about 3/4 cup of bleach.
3-5. Wash the pants in a normal cycle.
Let the washing machine complete a regular cycle, then dry the pants thoroughly in the dryer, or drip dry outdoors.
Tips
This process works best on jeans.
Warnings
Remember that bleaching fabric weakens the fibers, and shortens the life of your jeans. Straight bleach will burn holes right through cotton.
Do not try this without gloves. If any part of the water/bleach mixture touches your skin, rinse immediately and thoroughly with cool water.

How to Bleach Paper
|
1. Using Bleach to Remove Stains
1-1. Dampen a dried stain with a wet cloth or paper towel.
Make sure to dampen the paper only where there's a stain. Dab slightly so the stain is damp, but avoid transferring too much water. If the paper becomes drenched, it may become weak and tear.
If this is a new stain that is still wet, you’ll need to dry it as much as you can until it is just damp by blotting it with a dry cloth or paper towel.
1-2. Pour a few drops of chlorine bleach and water in two separate bowls.
The separate bowls will ensure you can dilute the bleach before using it. While you can use any bleach, chlorine bleach is tough enough to restore whiteness, and even works for coffee stains!
Only pour a few drops and wear gloves to protect your hands. Undiluted bleach can burn the skin.
Avoid leaning over and inhaling the bleach, which could be dangerous.
1-3. Dip a cotton swab in the water and bleach.
Dip the swab first in the water bowl, then in the bleach bowl. After you dampen your cotton swab with bleach, gently tap it against the side of the bowl so the swab isn't dripping wet.
Using too much bleach can also turn the paper yellow.
For stains larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm), use a paper towel instead of a cotton swab.
1-4. Dab the cotton swab on the stain.
Use light strokes to cover the entire stain with the bleach and water mixture. However, avoid pushing down too forcefully, since you might accidentally tear the paper.
1-5. Fold a dry piece of paper towel and blot the stain.
The paper towel should be folded in order to absorb enough of the bleach mixture off of the paper. Gently but firmly press down to transfer the excess bleach off of the paper.
1-6. Let the paper air dry for an hour.
Be careful not to touch or move the paper too much, because the moisture can cause the paper to break apart easily. Just set it down on top of a table or on the floor in a well-ventilated area. Wait until the paper is fully dry before using it.
2. Removing Ink from Paper with Acetone or Peroxide
2-1. Put your paper on a clean paper towel.
Make sure the paper towel is fully underneath the paper. If you're working on a nice table, especially one made of wood, place several paper towels to protect the table's finish.
You can also set a plastic bag beneath the paper towel to further protect your surface.
2-2. Dip a cotton swab in acetone or peroxide.
After you dip the cotton swab, gently tap it to remove any excess water. Don't worry about quantity; you should only need a bit of acetone.
For stains larger than 1 inch (2.5 cm), use a paper towel instead of a cotton swab.
Make sure you have good ventilation and stay away from any flames or sparks.
Many nail polish removers are made with acetone, which may be a good household solution.
If you use 100% acetone, dilute it with water. To do this, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of acetone with 5 tablespoons (74 mL) of water in a bowl.
2-3. Dab the ink you want to remove with the cotton swab.
Be gentle with your dabbing, and avoid rubbing the paper; it may tear. Keep dabbing until the ink stain has completely disappeared.
2-4. Let the paper dry for an hour.
Leave the paper where it is and only move it once it's completely dry. Moving the paper or attempting to write on it before it's dry may cause it to tear.
3. Making an Acetone Wash to Remove Ink
3-1. Prepare an acetone wash in a glass casserole pan.
Fill your casserole pan with acetone up to ⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) deep. It should be enough acetone at the bottom of the pan to fully submerge the portion of the paper with ink.
3-2. Put on a pair of rubber gloves or prepare a set of metal tongs.
You'll have to hold the paper underneath the acetone wash, but doing so will harm your fingers. Either purchase a pair of rubber gloves or look for metal tongs that won't damage your paper.
3-3. Hold the ink-stained paper under the acetone for 3 minutes.
You only need to submerge the portion of the paper that has the ink stain, though you can submerge the entire paper if it's covered in ink. Hold it there for at least 3 minutes. Then, gently remove the paper and watch the ink disappear.
Be careful when handling the wet paper. It can easily tear.
3-4. Place the washed paper on a bed of paper towels.
Make sure the paper towels are thick enough that the acetone won't seep through and ruin the surface beneath them. When in doubt, you can also lay down a plastic bag to catch any acetone that seeps through.
3-5. Let the paper completely air dry.
Depending on the size of your paper, it may take several hours to dry. Leave it in a well-ventilated location with little to no wind, and let it dry for as long as necessary.
Do not write on the paper while it is still drying. The ink will smudge.
Warnings
Be cautious when attempting to turn colored paper white. Bleach, acetone, and peroxide will turn it a lighter color instead of completely white.
Try your best not to inhale the bleach. Accidentally inhaling the fumes from bleach can cause damage to your lunch and organs.
Don't get any bleach on clothing, fabric, soft furnishings, etc.; the bleach will turn any affected area white.

How to Bleach Pine Cones
|
1. Preparing Your Materials
1-1. Dress in old clothes and put on protective gloves.
Because you will be working with bleach, which can permanently marr your clothing, make sure you are wearing old clothes that you won’t mind getting dirty. You also want to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the bleach, which can irritate and even burn your skin.
1-2. Wear protective glasses, especially when pouring the bleach into the water.
You don’t want any splashes getting into your eyes.
1-3. Gather your pine cones.
Make sure the pine cones are completely open and dry. Wet and closed pine cones will not bleach well.
1-4. Put the pine cones in your bucket.
If you are working with a lot of pine cones, then a five gallon utility bucket will be best. It will have enough room to allow the solution to cover all the pine cones. But, if you are working with smaller pine cones, or with only one or two, then something smaller can work.
1-5. Add 2 parts water to 1 part bleach to the bucket.
Make sure there is enough solution to cover all the pine cones.
2. Soaking the Pine Cones
2-1. Put rocks or bricks on top of the pine cones to hold them down in the solution.
The pine cones will start to float, so you will need at least two rocks or bricks. If some pine cones escape from under the rocks or bricks, then add another rock or brick to make sure they all stay down.
The pine cones will close up when they are wet. That is supposed to happen and will not affect the bleaching.
2-2. Let the pine cones sit in the bleach water for up to 48 hours.
This will give the solution enough time to work.
2-3. Check the pine cones after 12 hours.
Some of the smaller pine cones might be ready.
Again, put on old clothes, the rubber gloves, and protective glasses to protect your skin and eyes.
Remove the rocks or bricks and start picking through the pine cones to see if any are ready. Your own preference for color will determine if they are ready or not.
The longer you let the pine cones sit, the more bleached they will look. The bleaching can range from a driftwood appearance to a blond look depending on how long the pine cones were submerged in the solution for.
3. Drying the Pine Cones
3-1. Remove the pine cones after 48 hours.
Put back on all the protective gear–the old clothes, gloves, and glasses– and gently take the pine cones out.
Remember that the pine cones will be covered in a bleach solution. Wearing old dirty clothes, gloves, and protective glasses is advisable to protect your clothing, skin, and eyes.
3-2. Place the pine cones on a surface to dry.
A tarp, baking sheet, paper towel, or old towel that you won’t mind getting bleach on all will work. The pine cones may take up to a week to dry.
3-3. Take them off the drying surface when they are dry and open again.
The pine cones should be as dry and open as they were before you poured the solution on them.
3-4. Bake the pine cones if you don't want to wait a week.
After you take them out of the bleach solution, let them dry for 24 hours and then bake them at 250 degrees until they open.
Alternatively, if it is hot out, you can leave them in direct sunlight to speed up the drying process.
Tips
Wear old clothes to prevent the bleach ruining your good ones.
Work in a well ventilated area or outside. The smell of the bleach can be strong.

How to Bleach Shirts for Sublimation
|
1. Print out and cut your sublimation image.
Preparing a design beforehand makes it easier to bleach your shirt.
Use design software like Photoshop, Cricut Design Space, or Silhouette Studio to make a t-shirt design and format it as a PNG file. Then, print your chosen design on sublimation paper and cut it out. Leave at least .25 inches (0.64 cm) around the edge of the design as you cut. Don't worry—the white space won't transfer over.
You'll need a particular type of printer to make sublimation designs. Either purchase a sublimation printer (though they can be expensive) or invest in a cheaper Epson EcoTank printer and fill either with sublimation ink.
Make sure your printer settings are correct. Select the matte paper setting and set the quality to "High" or "Best." If your design has words, print it mirrored or flipped horizontally, so they show up properly later.
Your design will look faded and dark when it prints. This is normal! The full color will come out when you expose it to heat.
You can also choose a design and send it to a sublimation printer if you don't have the equipment to print designs at home.
2. Insert cardboard into the shirt.
Cardboard protects the back of your shirt from getting bleached too.
If you go ahead and bleach your shirt without preparing it first, you might end up with a huge bleach spot on the back of it! First, iron the shirt using the iron’s lowest setting to ensure there are no wrinkles before you bleach. Then, slide a piece of cardboard into the shirt and line it up so the cardboard and shirt lie flat.
Choose a 100% polyester t-shirt. Polyester handles sublimation much better than cotton. If you can't find one, you can go as low as 65% polyester and still get a good result.
3. Paint bleach on the design area to make a solid backgroud.
Trace around the design paper with the paintbrush, then fill in the space.
Place the cut-out design wherever you want to print it on your shirt. Grab a paintbrush, dip it in flour, and trace around the edge of the design. Remove the design paper and use a paintbrush to bleach the area inside the outline. Add at least .25 inches (0.64 cm) of space around the edges, so the bleach spot is wider than the design!
The design area is where your sublimation will eventually go. Touch up the edges of the design area and look for any spots you missed as you paint the shirt. The goal is to create a solid bleached design space.
It's a good idea to outline the design with flour because it won't damage your sublimation paper, whereas any bleach that gets onto it could wreck the design.
Do your bleaching outside. Sunlight and a breeze help the bleach dry faster.
4. Bleach the design area with a template if you don’t want to paint.
Templates help you create a neat alternative bleach design without painting.
Pick a shape for the shirt's design area and trace it into the middle of a piece of cardboard. Then, cut it out. Place the cardboard over your shirt where you want the design to be and spritz bleach onto the shirt using a spray bottle. The cardboard will act like a stencil, creating a bleached design area for your sublimation.
This alternative to creating a solid design area is helpful if you'd rather not risk bleaching your design paper or you don’t have a paintbrush on hand.
Since the stencil will keep excess bleach from spilling over the side of the design area, you can get clean lines even while applying bleach with a spray bottle.
5. Make a marble pattern with bleach if you like tie-dye.
Optionally, scrunch the shirt and spray it to get an artsy tie-dye effect.
First, remove the cardboard from the shirt and crumple it up—the more wrinkles, the better. Then, lightly spray it with bleach. When you're done, flip the balled-up shirt and repeat the action. After you're done spritzing, flatten out the shirt and let it dry, flipping it between the front and the back, so both have a chance to set.
Wear protective rubber gloves while you handle a bleach-stained shirt.
Make sure you don't completely saturate the shirt with bleach. Just spritz it a few times to lightly dampen the exposed fabric.
This is an optional design choice. If you like your shirt with just a painted design area and some spray patterns, that's fine too.
6. Spray bleach onto the shirt to give it a textured look.
Decorate the shirt with a playful spot pattern by spraying it with bleach.
Fill a clean, empty spray bottle (any kind will work) with bleach. Then, start spritzing it onto your shirt to produce a cool splotchy effect. Spray around the main painted-on design area and beyond; you can even get the back of the shirt to make the spray effect look more cohesive.
If you don't have a spray bottle on hand, you can also use your paintbrush to create a spray effect. Dip the brush in bleach and flick it over the shirt's surface so that droplets of bleach fall onto the fabric.
7. Soak the shirt with water and hydrogen peroxide.
Soaking the shirt stops the bleach from spreading any further.
Wait a few minutes for the bleach to set—it typically only takes about 4 or 5 minutes for bleached areas to turn while. Then, when you're satisfied with the bleach design, dunk the shirt in a mixture of half hydrogen peroxide and half water (1 cup (240 mL) of each should be plenty.) Rinse off the shirt in water afterward.
8. Wash and dry the shirt normally.
Clean the shirt and dry it to ensure it's ready for sublimation.
After bleaching, dunking, and rinsing the shirt, toss it in the washing machine. Add a little bit of detergent and change the settings to ensure the shirt is washed with warm water, as this further stops the bleach from spreading and altering the design. When the wash cycle is over, move the shirt into the dryer until it's fully dried.
Once your shirt is dry, the bleaching process is finished! It's time to move on to sublimation at last.
9. Insert butcher paper into the shirt.
Butcher paper protects your shirt during the sublimation process.
After all, you don't want any design ink to leak onto the back of your shirt in the finished product! Cut a sheet of butcher paper and insert it into the shirt. Then, use a lint roller to clear away any stray particles on the shirt, concentrating on the design area.
10. Do a quick pre-press with your shirt.
Set the heat to 400 °F (204 °C) and press the shirt for a few seconds.
Prep your shirt for sublimating by pressing it briefly in your heat press. Once your heat press reaches the right temperature, lay another sheet of butcher paper over the top of your shirt and place it inside the press, with the paper facing up. Keep it in the press for 5 seconds, and then open the press once more.
You can leave the shirt in the press while you prepare it for the next step; just leave the top of the press open.
11. Transfer the image onto your shirt.
Use the heat press to sublimate your newly decorated shirt!
Remove the old butcher paper and place your design face-down wherever you want it on the shirt. Hold it in place with a few pieces of heat tape. Then, lay a new sheet of butcher paper over the shirt and design and press the shirt for a minute. When the minute it is up, open the press and remove the design paper to view the finished product.
Remove the paper as fast as possible to avoid any image blurring.
If you're sublimating multiple shirts, don't use the same sheet of butcher paper for all of them—the previous image might carry over onto a new shirt.
Once your shirt is successfully sublimated, remove it from the press and spritz it lightly with hydrogen peroxide to help the design set quickly. After that, your shirt is done!

How to Bleach Shorts
|
1. Making Basic Bleached Shorts
1-1. Gather your supplies.
For this project, you will need: a pair of shorts, rubber gloves, some water, bleach, and a little bit of soap. You will also need a plastic bucket or tub large enough to comfortably fit your shorts. If you do not have any shorts, you can make your own by cutting the legs off of an old pair of jeans.
1-2. Move the tub to a well-ventilated area.
Bleach gives off a strong odor and could make you feel light-headed. The best place to work would be outside, but if this is not possible, make sure that you have at least a window open. Keeping a fan on in the room will give you even more ventilation.
1-3. Put on the rubber gloves.
Although you will be working with diluted bleach, you will still want to protect your skin. Bleach is caustic, and can irritate or burn your skin.
1-4. Fill the tub with bleach and water.
You will need one part liquid bleach and three to four parts water. How much bleach and water you use will depend on the size of your tub and the shorts. You want the water-bleach solution to be deep enough so that the shorts end up completely submerged once you put them in the tub.
1-5. Put the shorts in the bleach solution.
Make sure that they are completely submerged. If they keep floating to the top, you can pin them down with a heavy object, such as a glass vase or a couple of rocks.
1-6. Let the shorts bleach.
You can do this by taking the shorts out of the bleach solution and leaving them out in the sun on a bleach resistant surface, or you can simply leave them in the solution for several hours. How long you leave the shorts in the sun or bleach solution depends on how dark the original color was, and how light you want them to become. This can take anywhere between a few hours to over 24 hours.
Consider checking on the shorts every few hours. Bleach is caustic, and it can eat away at the fabric of your shorts. To prevent over-bleaching or ruining your shorts, plan on checking on them every four hours, if possible. The longer you leave your shorts in the bleach solution, the weaker the fibers will become.
1-7. Pull the shorts out of the bleach solution.
Once the shorts have achieved the lightness you desire, pull them out of the bleach solution and squeeze them to get rid of the extra moisture. If you have left them out in the sun, simply take them out of the sun.
1-8. Wash the shorts with soap and cool water.
Gently work some soap into the shorts, and rinse them with cool water until you cannot smell the bleach anymore. The soap will help prevent the bleach from yellowing the fabric.
1-9. Dry the shorts.
You can do this by setting them out in the sun, or tossing them into the dryer for a few minutes.
2. Making Bleached Ombre and Dip-Dyed Shorts
2-1. Gather your supplies.
For this project, you will need a pair of shorts, rubber gloves, some water, bleach, and a bit of soap. You will also need a plastic bucket or tub that is large enough to comfortably fit the shorts. If you do not have any shorts, you can make your own by cutting the legs off of a pair of pants.
For a more dramatic ombre effect, consider using darker denim.
A pants hanger is not necessary, but it could help weigh the shorts down as you are dipping them into the bleach.
2-2. Decide how high you want the ombre to go.
Make a mark on the fabric using a washable fabric marking pen.
2-3. Place the tub in a well-ventilated area.
The best place to work would be outside, but if this is not possible, you can work indoors with a window open. Having a fan on in the room would also aid ventilation.
2-4. Put on the rubber gloves.
Although you will be working with diluted bleach, you still want to protect your hands. Bleach is caustic and can burn your skin if you are not careful.
2-5. Fill the tub with bleach and water.
You will need one part liquid bleach and one part water. How much bleach and water you use will depend on the size of your tub and the shorts.
2-6. Put the shorts into the bleach solution.
Dip the shorts 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) below the mark you have made. The bleach will eventually creep up the shorts the rest of the way and reach the mark.
Consider folding the shorts in half and clipping them onto a pants hanger. This will allow you to pull them out of the bleach solution more easily. The weight of the hanger will also prevent the shorts from falling into the bleach solution.
2-7. Leave the shorts in the solution for ten minutes.
You should start to see some fading during this time. If you are working with a darker-colored pair of shorts, then you may leave them in the bleach solution for a few more minutes.
2-8. Take the shorts out of the bleach solution and rinse them.
After about ten minutes, take the shorts out of the water and rinse them using fresh, cool water. This will make the fading smoother.
If you wish to make dip-dyed shorts, do not take them out of the bleach solution. Simply leave them in the bleach solution until you have achieved the lightness you want. Dip-dyed shorts have a more defined line than ombre shorts.
2-9. Return the shorts to the bleach solution.
For a more dramatic ombre effect, put the shorts back into the bleach solution, but only partway. Do not dip them as deeply as you did the first time. This way, you are lightening the bottom portion of the shorts even more, thus creating the ombre effect.
2-10. Pull the shorts out of the bleach solution and rinse them.
Squeeze the shorts to get the extra moisture out, and rinse them using soap and cool water until you cannot smell the bleach anymore. The soap will help prevent the bleach from making yellow stains.
2-11. Dry the shorts.
You can do this by leaving them out in the sun, or by tossing them into the dryer.
3. Making Reverse Tie Dye Shorts
3-1. Gather your supplies.
For this project, you will need a pair of shorts, rubber gloves, water, bleach, some soap, and rubber bands. You will also need a plastic bucket or tub large enough to comfortably fit the shorts.
If you do not own a pair of denim shorts, you can make your own by cutting the legs off of a pair of jeans.
3-2. Move the plastic tub to a well-ventilated area.
Outside is the best location because there is plenty of fresh air and you are less likely to feel light-headed. If it is not possible to work outside, then make sure that you have a window open; turning a fan on in your work space will give you additional ventilation.
3-3. Put on the rubber gloves.
Although you will be working with diluted bleach, you still want to protect your skin. Bleach can irritate or burn your skin.
3-4. Fill the tub with bleach and water.
You will need one part liquid bleach and one part cool water. How much bleach and water you use will depend on the size of your tub and the shorts. You want the water-bleach solution to be deep enough so that the shorts end up completely submerged.
3-5. Tie rubber bands around your shorts.
Take a few rubber bands and start tying off small parts of your shorts. You can tie the bands randomly around your shorts in little nibs for a starburst effect. You can also scrunch the shorts into a rope, and wrap rubber bands around the "rope" in 3 to 4 inch (7.62 to 10.16 centimeters) intervals.
3-6. Put the shorts in the tub.
Press down on them so that they are completely submerged in the bleach and water solution. If they keep floating to the top, you can weigh them down by putting a heavy object, such as a glass vase or a few rocks, on top of them.
3-7. Leave the shorts in the tub until they have achieved the desired lightness.
The longer you leave them in the bleach and water solution, the lighter they will become. In general, you will start seeing some results after about 20 minutes. Do not leave the shorts in the bleach solution for too long, however, or you will risk damaging the fabric.
3-8. Take the shorts out of the tub.
Once the shorts have reached the level of lightness you want, pull them out of the tub. Squeeze them to get the excess moisture out.
3-9. Cut the rubber bands off.
Using a pair of scissors, snip the rubber bands off. Be careful not to cut the fabric of the shorts.
3-10. Rinse the shorts using soap and cool water.
Gently work some soap into the shorts and rinse them using cool water until you can no longer smell the bleach. The soap will help prevent the bleach from staining the fabric yellow.
3-11. Dry the shorts.
You can either hang them to dry in the sun, or you can toss them into the dryer for a few minutes.
4. Dyeing Bleached Shorts
4-1. Start with a pair of bleached shorts.
You can use completely bleached shorts, ombre bleached shorts, or even tie die bleached shorts. If you wish to learn how to bleach your shorts, refer to one of the sections in this article on bleaching your yours, ombre bleaching your shorts, or reverse tie dying your shorts.
4-2. Fill a large, plastic bucket with hot water.
You will be dyeing your shorts in this, so make sure that you do not mind if it gets stained. You need 3 gallons (11.35 liters) of very hot water.
4-3. Add the fabric dye.
You can use liquid fabric dye or powder fabric dye. If you are using liquid dye, shake the bottle, and pour ½ of the liquid dye into the hot water. If you are using powdered fabric dye, empty the packet into 2 cups (473.18 milliliters) of very hot water, then add the water to the bucket. Stir the dye with a long stick or spoon (that you will not be using for cooking purposes again) to mix everything.
4-4. Add some salt.
Measure out 1 cup (280 grams) of salt and add it to 2 cups (473.18 milliliters) of very hot water. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined, and then pour the salt water into the dye bath. Stir again until everything is mixed together. The salt will help the dye stick to the jean fabric better.
4-5. Test the dye color.
You can do this by dipping a piece of white, cotton fabric into the dye bath and then taking it out. If the color is too dark, add more hot water. If the color is too light, add more dye. Once you have achieved the color you want, you are ready to dye your shorts.
Keep in mind that the dyed item will be a little darker when it is wet than when it is dry.
Fabric dye is translucent, so the original color of the shorts will affect the new color. For example, if you choose to dye a pair of ombre shorts pink, the white part will end up pink, but the blue denim part will end up purple.
4-6. Consider dyeing the shorts completely.
Dip the shorts in warm water, then squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. Soak them in the dye bath for 10 to 30 minutes until you get the shade you want. Make sure to stir the shorts in the dye bath from time to time, or you may get splotches.
4-7. Consider tie dyeing the shorts.
Tie rubber bands around the shorts. You can tie the rubber bands in little nibs randomly for a starburst effect. You can also scrunch the shorts into a rope, and tie rubber bands around the "rope" at 3 to 4 inch (7.62 to 10.16 centimeters) intervals. Once you are done tying the shorts, soak them in warm water, then squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. Dunk them into the dye bath for 10 to 30 minutes, or until you have achieved the color you want.
4-8. Consider ombre dying your shorts.
Dip the bottom part of your shorts into the dye bath and rest them against the wall of the bucket so that they don't slide down into the water. Leave them in the dye for 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, dip the shorts further into the dye bath, and lean them against the side of the bucket. Leave the shorts in the dye for 5 minutes. Swish the shorts around to get an even coating of dye, then dip them the rest of the way into the dye bath (or as far as you want the ombre effect to go). Quickly pull the shorts out.
4-9. Pull the shorts out of the dye bath.
Once you have finished dyeing your shorts using your chosen method, pull them out of the dye bath and gently squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. If you have chosen to tie dye your shorts, snip the rubber bands off using a pair of scissors. Be careful so as not to cut the actual fabric of the shorts.
4-10. Rinse the shorts using warm water.
Keep rinsing your shorts until the water runs clear. If you have chosen to ombre dye your shorts, hold them by the lightest part and rinse them using cool water first; squeeze the extra moisture out and then rinse them out using warm water until the water runs clear.
4-11. Dry your shorts.
You can do this by leaving them out in the sun, or by tossing them into the dryer for a few minutes.
5. Embellishing Your Bleached Shorts
5-1. Consider embellishing your shorts further.
You can leave them as they are, or you can use paint, bleaching pens, or studs to add a personal touch.
5-2. Add some designs using fabric paint or fabric markers.
After your shorts have dried, you can add some designs using fabric paint and stencils, or fabric markers. Place a sheet of cardboard inside your shorts, so that the paint or marker doesn't bleed through. After this, you can place some adhesive fabric stencils onto your shorts, and fill the spaces in using a paintbrush and fabric paint. You can also draw designs free-handedly using fabric markers. Wait until the paint has dried before taking the cardboard out.
5-3. Draw designs using bleach.
You can do this with a bleach pen, or by dipping a paintbrush into some undiluted bleach. Simply place a piece of cardboard inside your shorts, and draw some interesting designs onto your shorts. Wait until the designs become as light as you want them to be, then take the cardboard out. Rinse the shorts using soap and cool water, and hang them up to dry.
You can also use this technique to draw designs on unbleached shorts instead.
5-4. Add some studs.
The best places to add studs is around the waistband and along the outer edges of the pockets. You can poke them directly into the fabric, and then flatten the prongs using a butter knife, or you can glue them onto the shorts using fabric glue.
5-5. Fray the bottom of the shorts.
You can do this by simply cutting the bottom hem off. You can leave the shorts as they are, or you can use a sewing machine and sew along the bottom hem so that they do not fray too much. If you choose to sew, sew ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) up the bottom of the cut hem.
5-6. Distress the shorts.
You can create a unique look by distressing your shorts. You can do this by creating a few slices in the lap part using a craft knife and then pulling out the short strands with a pair of tweezers. You can also buff the lap area using a piece of coarse-grained sandpaper or a cheese grinder.
Tips
Consider using a pair of old shorts. This way, if you mess up, you would not have wasted a pair of good shorts.
Consider combining techniques, such as bleaching a pair of shorts entirely, and then ombre dyeing them with fabric dye. You can also reverse tie dye a pair of shorts, and then dye them with some fabric dye. The possibilities are almost endless.
Warnings
Do not get the bleach on your skin. If you get any on your skin, rinse it off immediately using cool water.
If at any point you start feeling nauseous or light-headed, stop your work immediately and move to an area with fresh air.
Be careful not to use too much bleach, and do not leave your shorts in the bleach for too long. Bleach is caustic and may eat away at the fibers of your shorts.

The soap will help prevent the bleach from staining the fabric yellow.\\n3-11. Dry the shorts.\\nYou can either hang them to dry in the sun, or you can toss them into the dryer for a few minutes.\\n4. Dyeing Bleached Shorts\\n4-1. Start with a pair of bleached shorts.\\nYou can use completely bleached shorts, ombre bleached shorts, or even tie die bleached shorts. If you wish to learn how to bleach your shorts, refer to one of the sections in this article on bleaching your yours, ombre bleaching your shorts, or reverse tie dying your shorts.\\n4-2. Fill a large, plastic bucket with hot water.\\nYou will be dyeing your shorts in this, so make sure that you do not mind if it gets stained. You need 3 gallons (11.35 liters) of very hot water.\\n4-3. Add the fabric dye.\\nYou can use liquid fabric dye or powder fabric dye. If you are using liquid dye, shake the bottle, and pour ½ of the liquid dye into the hot water. If you are using powdered fabric dye, empty the packet into 2 cups (473.18 milliliters) of very hot water, then add the water to the bucket. Stir the dye with a long stick or spoon (that you will not be using for cooking purposes again) to mix everything.\\n4-4. Add some salt.\\nMeasure out 1 cup (280 grams) of salt and add it to 2 cups (473.18 milliliters) of very hot water. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined, and then pour the salt water into the dye bath. Stir again until everything is mixed together. The salt will help the dye stick to the jean fabric better.\\n4-5. Test the dye color.\\nYou can do this by dipping a piece of white, cotton fabric into the dye bath and then taking it out. If the color is too dark, add more hot water. If the color is too light, add more dye. Once you have achieved the color you want, you are ready to dye your shorts.\\nKeep in mind that the dyed item will be a little darker when it is wet than when it is dry.\\nFabric dye is translucent, so the original color of the shorts will affect the new color. For example, if you choose to dye a pair of ombre shorts pink, the white part will end up pink, but the blue denim part will end up purple.\\n4-6. Consider dyeing the shorts completely.\\nDip the shorts in warm water, then squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. Soak them in the dye bath for 10 to 30 minutes until you get the shade you want. Make sure to stir the shorts in the dye bath from time to time, or you may get splotches.\\n4-7. Consider tie dyeing the shorts.\\nTie rubber bands around the shorts. You can tie the rubber bands in little nibs randomly for a starburst effect. You can also scrunch the shorts into a rope, and tie rubber bands around the \\\"rope\\\" at 3 to 4 inch (7.62 to 10.16 centimeters) intervals. Once you are done tying the shorts, soak them in warm water, then squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. Dunk them into the dye bath for 10 to 30 minutes, or until you have achieved the color you want.\\n4-8. Consider ombre dying your shorts.\\nDip the bottom part of your shorts into the dye bath and rest them against the wall of the bucket so that they don't slide down into the water. Leave them in the dye for 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, dip the shorts further into the dye bath, and lean them against the side of the bucket. Leave the shorts in the dye for 5 minutes. Swish the shorts around to get an even coating of dye, then dip them the rest of the way into the dye bath (or as far as you want the ombre effect to go). Quickly pull the shorts out.\\n4-9. Pull the shorts out of the dye bath.\\nOnce you have finished dyeing your shorts using your chosen method, pull them out of the dye bath and gently squeeze them to get the extra moisture out. If you have chosen to tie dye your shorts, snip the rubber bands off using a pair of scissors. Be careful so as not to cut the actual fabric of the shorts.\\n4-10. Rinse the shorts using warm water.\\nKeep rinsing your shorts until the water runs clear. If you have chosen to ombre dye your shorts, hold them by the lightest part and rinse them using cool water first; squeeze the extra moisture out and then rinse them out using warm water until the water runs clear.\\n4-11. Dry your shorts.\\nYou can do this by leaving them out in the sun, or by tossing them into the dryer for a few minutes.\\n5. Embellishing Your Bleached Shorts\\n5-1. Consider embellishing your shorts further.\\nYou can leave them as they are, or you can use paint, bleaching pens, or studs to add a personal touch.\\n5-2. Add some designs using fabric paint or fabric markers.\\nAfter your shorts have dried, you can add some designs using fabric paint and stencils, or fabric markers. Place a sheet of cardboard inside your shorts, so that the paint or marker doesn't bleed through. After this, you can place some adhesive fabric stencils onto your shorts, and fill the spaces in using a paintbrush and fabric paint. You can also draw designs free-handedly using fabric markers. Wait until the paint has dried before taking the cardboard out.\\n5-3. Draw designs using bleach.\\nYou can do this with a bleach pen, or by dipping a paintbrush into some undiluted bleach. Simply place a piece of cardboard inside your shorts, and draw some interesting designs onto your shorts. Wait until the designs become as light as you want them to be, then take the cardboard out. Rinse the shorts using soap and cool water, and hang them up to dry.\\nYou can also use this technique to draw designs on unbleached shorts instead.\\n5-4. Add some studs.\\nThe best places to add studs is around the waistband and along the outer edges of the pockets. You can poke them directly into the fabric, and then flatten the prongs using a butter knife, or you can glue them onto the shorts using fabric glue.\\n5-5. Fray the bottom of the shorts.\\nYou can do this by simply cutting the bottom hem off. You can leave the shorts as they are, or you can use a sewing machine and sew along the bottom hem so that they do not fray too much. If you choose to sew, sew ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) up the bottom of the cut hem.\\n5-6. Distress the shorts.\\nYou can create a unique look by distressing your shorts. You can do this by creating a few slices in the lap part using a craft knife and then pulling out the short strands with a pair of tweezers. You can also buff the lap area using a piece of coarse-grained sandpaper or a cheese grinder.\\nTips\\nConsider using a pair of old shorts. This way, if you mess up, you would not have wasted a pair of good shorts.\\nConsider combining techniques, such as bleaching a pair of shorts entirely, and then ombre dyeing them with fabric dye. You can also reverse tie dye a pair of shorts, and then dye them with some fabric dye. The possibilities are almost endless.\\nWarnings\\nDo not get the bleach on your skin. If you get any on your skin, rinse it off immediately using cool water.\\nIf at any point you start feeling nauseous or light-headed, stop your work immediately and move to an area with fresh air.\\nBe careful not to use too much bleach, and do not leave your shorts in the bleach for too long. Bleach is caustic and may eat away at the fibers of your shorts.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"fa}}Denim bleaching is a great way to customize your style, while saving money on the newest fashions.

How to Bleach Skin Fast
|
1. Using Proven Treatments for Skin Lightening
1-1. Apply hydroquinone for all-over lightening, but be aware of the risks.
If you want to lighten your skin quickly, you might get good results by applying a skin lightening cream that contains hydroquinone once a day for several weeks. However, some people experience negative reactions to hydroquinone, including skin irritation, sensitivity to the sun, or, in some cases, skin darkening. In addition, hydroquinone may also cause your sweat to have an unpleasant fishy smell.
Because of its side effects and potential risk as a carcinogen, hydroquinone and products containing hydroquinone are banned in the UK. If you live somewhere you can purchase hydroquinone, do not plan to use it for more than 4-8 weeks at a time.
You can buy creams containing up to 2% hydroquinone over-the-counter, but you'll need a prescription for creams up to 6%.
If you use hydroquinone, protect yourself from the sun. Wear SPF 30 sunscreen every day and avoid being outdoors between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest.
1-2. Try a prescription retinoid cream to brighten your skin and treat dark spots.
Tretinoin is a retinoid that's frequently used for skin lightening. Retinoids lighten your skin by exfoliating away the top layer of skin, which encourages cell turnover. It's only available as a prescription, but it may come in cream, gel, or lotion form. Typically, you'll apply the product to clean, dry skin once a day.
Since tretinoin can increase your sensitivity to the sunlight, it's best to apply this cream as part of your night-time routine. You may also need to wear SPF 30 sunscreen each day, and avoid going outside at mid-day.
Do not use tretinoin if you are pregnant.
You may see improvement in hyperpigmentation after 4-6 weeks with a daily application of tretinoin. Those effects will continue to improve up to at least a year.
1-3. Try a cream with kojic or azelaic acid if you have melasma.
If you have this condition, ask your doctor or dermatologist about treatments like kojic acid or azelaic acid. Apply these creams to the dark spots 1-2 times a day, as indicated on the label. Like most other topical treatments, you'll probably see results in 4-6 weeks if these creams work for you.
Melasma is a condition that causes dark patches on your face and neck. It's typically triggered by either sun exposure or a change in your hormones, such as during pregnancy or when you start certain medications.
Azelaic acid was originally developed as an acne treatment. It's available in some over-the-counter preparations, but stronger strengths require a prescription. It typically only lightens dark spots and does not affect normally-pigmented skin.
Kojic acid is derived from fungi. It's sometimes used as a food preservative, but is also available in cream form for cosmetic use.
1-4. Ask your doctor about a corticosteroid cream to target dark spots.
If you have dark spots and you want to lighten them, ask your doctor about a corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone. Follow your doctor's application instructions closely—typically, you'll apply the cream to just the dark spot once or twice a day for up to 4-6 weeks.
Corticosteroid creams are commonly sold over-the-counter in lower strengths, or your doctor may prescribe a stronger concentration. Even if you use an over-the-counter cream, however, you should consult your doctor before using a corticosteroid cream regularly, due to the risk of side effects like acne, hyper- or hypopigmentation, and fungal or bacterial infections.
1-5. Read the label carefully before using any skin-lightening creams.
Be sure to check that there aren't any hidden ingredients that might be harmful to your health, like mercury. Also, if the cream contains ingredients like corticosteroids or hydroquinone, it's best to know that in case you experience any unpleasant side effects.
1-6. Undergo laser skin lightening for results in a few weeks.
Visit a dermatologist or an aesthetician to undergo laser skin lightening treatments. During this procedure, the technician will use a handheld laser device on large areas of your skin. Over the next few weeks, you may notice that your skin looks lighter.
Your skin might be red and swollen for several days after the session. In addition, your skin might be bruised or flaky for 1-2 weeks afterward, and you could experience sensitivity to sunlight for up to 6 months.
Keep in mind that this treatment can be expensive, and it may take several sessions to get the results you want.
1-7. Try a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to lighten sun-damaged skin.
Over time, the top layer of your skin can start to look dark due to the presence of sun damage and dead skin cells. Dermatological procedures like a chemical peel or microdermabrasion gently remove this top layer of skin, which can leave your skin looking lighter and brighter immediately.
Due to the risk of skin damage, it's best to have these procedures performed by a licensed technician.
Some people may not notice any skin lightening after one of these procedures.
2. Trying All-Natural Home Remedies
2-1. Dab diluted lemon juice on your skin if it doesn't irritate you.
Squeeze the juice from half of a lemon into a small bowl. Then, add an equal amount of water and mix it together thoroughly. Dip a cotton ball in the lemon juice mixture and smooth it on your skin, then rinse it off after 5-10 minutes. Do this once a day for a few weeks, or until you notice your skin getting lighter.
If your skin starts to sting or burn, rinse off the lemon juice immediately and do not repeat the treatment.
Citrus fruits like lemon contain flavonoids and vitamin C, both of which may help lighten your skin.
2-2. Make a paste out of turmeric for a gentle treatment.
Take about 1 tbsp (9 g) of turmeric and place it in a small bowl, then drizzle in a small amount of water until the turmeric forms a thick paste. Smooth the paste onto your skin and leave it off for about 30 minutes, then rinse it away. You may notice your skin getting lighter after several weeks of this treatment.
Turmeric contains the compound curcumin, which may decrease the melanin production in your skin.
2-3. Place a slice of raw potato over a dark spot overnight to lighten it.
Potatoes contain the compound niacinamide, which may be an effective skin lightener. If you have an area of dark skin, such as a melasma patch, try putting a slice of raw potato over the area. Wrap the potato slice with gauze to hold it in place, and leave it on overnight. You may notice that the dark spot looks lighter right away, but it may take a few weeks to see results.
If you prefer, you can also use potato juice to bleach dark spots on your skin fast.
2-4. Rub your skin with aloe vera for a soothing way to lighten it.
Aloesin, a compound in aloe, may be effective at lightening skin when applied once a day for several weeks. In addition, aloe has natural healing properties, so even if you don't notice your skin getting any lighter, you won't be doing any damage to your skin.
You can use the gel from the inside of an aloe vera spike, or you can purchase a commercial preparation of 100% aloe gel.
Tips
Using sunscreen every day is a helpful way to even your skin tone, as it will help protect your skin from discoloration and the tanning effects of the sun.[20]

Sometimes you may feel societal pressure to bleach your skin because it's dark. However, it's important to embrace your unique identity—including your skin tone. Remember, you are beautiful just the way you are.
Warnings
Most skin lightening treatments carry some side effects. It's best to talk to your doctor before beginning any treatment.
Do not use skin lighteners that contain mercury, due to a risk of mercury poisoning.
Those with darker skin tones are of increased risk to the harmful side effects of hydroquinone. Over time, the product can cause irreversible changes and discoloration. If you have a darker skin tone, be especially cautious and consider using a different product.[21]

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Using Proven Treatments for Skin Lightening\\n1-1. Apply hydroquinone for all-over lightening, but be aware of the risks.\\nIf you want to lighten your skin quickly, you might get good results by applying a skin lightening cream that contains hydroquinone once a day for several weeks. However, some people experience negative reactions to hydroquinone, including skin irritation, sensitivity to the sun, or, in some cases, skin darkening. In addition, hydroquinone may also cause your sweat to have an unpleasant fishy smell.\\nBecause of its side effects and potential risk as a carcinogen, hydroquinone and products containing hydroquinone are banned in the UK. If you live somewhere you can purchase hydroquinone, do not plan to use it for more than 4-8 weeks at a time.\\nYou can buy creams containing up to 2% hydroquinone over-the-counter, but you'll need a prescription for creams up to 6%.\\nIf you use hydroquinone, protect yourself from the sun. Wear SPF 30 sunscreen every day and avoid being outdoors between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest.\\n1-2. Try a prescription retinoid cream to brighten your skin and treat dark spots.\\nTretinoin is a retinoid that's frequently used for skin lightening. Retinoids lighten your skin by exfoliating away the top layer of skin, which encourages cell turnover. It's only available as a prescription, but it may come in cream, gel, or lotion form. Typically, you'll apply the product to clean, dry skin once a day.\\nSince tretinoin can increase your sensitivity to the sunlight, it's best to apply this cream as part of your night-time routine. You may also need to wear SPF 30 sunscreen each day, and avoid going outside at mid-day.\\nDo not use tretinoin if you are pregnant.\\nYou may see improvement in hyperpigmentation after 4-6 weeks with a daily application of tretinoin. Those effects will continue to improve up to at least a year.\\n1-3. Try a cream with kojic or azelaic acid if you have melasma.\\nIf you have this condition, ask your doctor or dermatologist about treatments like kojic acid or azelaic acid. Apply these creams to the dark spots 1-2 times a day, as indicated on the label. Like most other topical treatments, you'll probably see results in 4-6 weeks if these creams work for you.\\nMelasma is a condition that causes dark patches on your face and neck. It's typically triggered by either sun exposure or a change in your hormones, such as during pregnancy or when you start certain medications.\\nAzelaic acid was originally developed as an acne treatment. It's available in some over-the-counter preparations, but stronger strengths require a prescription. It typically only lightens dark spots and does not affect normally-pigmented skin.\\nKojic acid is derived from fungi. It's sometimes used as a food preservative, but is also available in cream form for cosmetic use.\\n1-4. Ask your doctor about a corticosteroid cream to target dark spots.\\nIf you have dark spots and you want to lighten them, ask your doctor about a corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone. Follow your doctor's application instructions closely—typically, you'll apply the cream to just the dark spot once or twice a day for up to 4-6 weeks.\\nCorticosteroid creams are commonly sold over-the-counter in lower strengths, or your doctor may prescribe a stronger concentration. Even if you use an over-the-counter cream, however, you should consult your doctor before using a corticosteroid cream regularly, due to the risk of side effects like acne, hyper- or hypopigmentation, and fungal or bacterial infections.\\n1-5. Read the label carefully before using any skin-lightening creams.\\nBe sure to check that there aren't any hidden ingredients that might be harmful to your health, like mercury. Also, if the cream contains ingredients like corticosteroids or hydroquinone, it's best to know that in case you experience any unpleasant side effects.\\n1-6. Undergo laser skin lightening for results in a few weeks.\\nVisit a dermatologist or an aesthetician to undergo laser skin lightening treatments. During this procedure, the technician will use a handheld laser device on large areas of your skin. Over the next few weeks, you may notice that your skin looks lighter.\\nYour skin might be red and swollen for several days after the session. In addition, your skin might be bruised or flaky for 1-2 weeks afterward, and you could experience sensitivity to sunlight for up to 6 months.\\nKeep in mind that this treatment can be expensive, and it may take several sessions to get the results you want.\\n1-7. Try a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to lighten sun-damaged skin.\\nOver time, the top layer of your skin can start to look dark due to the presence of sun damage and dead skin cells. Dermatological procedures like a chemical peel or microdermabrasion gently remove this top layer of skin, which can leave your skin looking lighter and brighter immediately.\\nDue to the risk of skin damage, it's best to have these procedures performed by a licensed technician.\\nSome people may not notice any skin lightening after one of these procedures.\\n2. Trying All-Natural Home Remedies\\n2-1. Dab diluted lemon juice on your skin if it doesn't irritate you.\\nSqueeze the juice from half of a lemon into a small bowl. Then, add an equal amount of water and mix it together thoroughly. Dip a cotton ball in the lemon juice mixture and smooth it on your skin, then rinse it off after 5-10 minutes. Do this once a day for a few weeks, or until you notice your skin getting lighter.\\nIf your skin starts to sting or burn, rinse off the lemon juice immediately and do not repeat the treatment.\\nCitrus fruits like lemon contain flavonoids and vitamin C, both of which may help lighten your skin.\\n2-2. Make a paste out of turmeric for a gentle treatment.\\nTake about 1 tbsp (9 g) of turmeric and place it in a small bowl, then drizzle in a small amount of water until the turmeric forms a thick paste. Smooth the paste onto your skin and leave it off for about 30 minutes, then rinse it away. You may notice your skin getting lighter after several weeks of this treatment.\\nTurmeric contains the compound curcumin, which may decrease the melanin production in your skin.\\n2-3. Place a slice of raw potato over a dark spot overnight to lighten it.\\nPotatoes contain the compound niacinamide, which may be an effective skin lightener. If you have an area of dark skin, such as a melasma patch, try putting a slice of raw potato over the area. Wrap the potato slice with gauze to hold it in place, and leave it on overnight. You may notice that the dark spot looks lighter right away, but it may take a few weeks to see results.\\nIf you prefer, you can also use potato juice to bleach dark spots on your skin fast.\\n2-4. Rub your skin with aloe vera for a soothing way to lighten it.\\nAloesin, a compound in aloe, may be effective at lightening skin when applied once a day for several weeks. In addition, aloe has natural healing properties, so even if you don't notice your skin getting any lighter, you won't be doing any damage to your skin.\\nYou can use the gel from the inside of an aloe vera spike, or you can purchase a commercial preparation of 100% aloe gel.\\nTips\\nUsing sunscreen every day is a helpful way to even your skin tone, as it will help protect your skin from discoloration and the tanning effects of the sun.[20]\\nX\\nExpert Source\\n\\nMargareth Pierre-Louis, MDBoard Certified Dermatologist\\nExpert Interview. 15 May 2020.\\nSometimes you may feel societal pressure to bleach your skin because it's dark.

How to Bleach Skin with Peroxide
|
1. Face Mask Cream
1-1. Add flour, milk, and 3% hydrogen peroxide to a plastic bowl.
Measure 2.5 tbsp (20 g) of flour, 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of milk, and 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide, which you can buy at your local drug store. As you measure out the ingredients, add them to a plastic container.
Try to get your measurements as exact as possible. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful bleaching agent, and it might irritate your skin if it’s not balanced out by the milk and flour.
Milk hydrates your skin and may exfoliate away dead skin cells to reveal more youthful skin.
1-2. Stir the ingredients into a paste with a plastic spoon or wooden spatula.
Use a plastic spoon or wooden spatula because they won’t react with the hydrogen peroxide. Gently swish the ingredients around to combine them. Continue to stir until the paste is an even consistency.
Don’t use a metal spoon because the hydrogen peroxide may create a chemical reaction.
Your paste will probably be really thick, and that’s okay. You’re going to thin it out in the next step.
1-3. Add enough water to make the paste thin enough to apply as a mask.
Drip a few drops of warm water into the paste, then stir to combine it into the other ingredients. Continue to add a few drops of water at a time until the paste reaches a good consistency for a mask.
You want the paste to be thin enough to easily spread it on your face. However, you don’t want it to be so thin that it won’t go on evenly or it slides off your skin.
1-4. Apply the mask to your face with your hand or a brush.
Use your fingertips to smooth the mask onto your skin for an easy option. If you have a face brush, use it to apply the mask over your face. After the mask is in place, wash your hands or the brush with mild soap and warm water.
Be careful not to get the mask into your hairline or on your eyebrows. It will likely bleach your hair! If it gets on your hair, rinse it out immediately.
1-5. Let the mask sit for 10 minutes or until it dries.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and relax while your mask does its job. Use your fingertip to test the mask every few minutes to see if it’s dry. If it dries before the 10 minutes, go ahead and wash it off.
After the mask dries, it may dry out your skin if you leave it on longer.
If you feel like your mask dried out too fast, add more water next time you do the treatment. This will help keep the mask moist for longer.
1-6. Wash the mask off with warm water.
Splash the water onto the mask to soften it. Then, use your fingertips to gently wipe off the mask. After the mask is gone, splash your face with water to rinse it totally clean.
Don’t rub your skin because it might cause irritation.
1-7. Pat your face fry with a clean towel.
Lightly dab your face with the towel to blot away the excess water. Be careful not to rub because that may irritate your skin.
If you have any of the mask left on your face, it may bleach the towel. Make sure you rinsed your face well.
1-8. Use your mask once a week to lighten your skin over time.
You might see results after one use. However, you’ll likely need to do weekly treatments for a month or longer to get the results you want. Repeat the treatment weekly until your skin looks lighter.
Stop using the hydrogen peroxide treatments if your skin becomes red or irritated.
2. Hydrogen Peroxide
2-1. Soak a soft cotton swab with 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Use regular 3% hydrogen peroxide that’s available over-the-counter for wound treatment. Apply the hydrogen peroxide to a cotton swab, which you'll use to apply the peroxide to your skin.
Use a small cotton swab so you don’t accidentally get the hydrogen peroxide on your healthy skin.
2-2. Dab the discolored area with hydrogen peroxide.
Press the cotton swab onto the area you want to bleach. Cover the discolored area with hydrogen peroxide. Be careful that you only touch the skin you’re treating, not the healthy skin around it.
If you get the hydrogen peroxide on the skin that isn’t discolored, it will also bleach that skin. This will keep your skin uneven.
2-3. Let the hydrogen peroxide sit on your skin for 10 minutes.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and relax while the hydrogen peroxide works. The hydrogen peroxide may dry on your skin, which is okay.
If your skin starts burning or itching, rinse your face off immediately.
2-4. Rinse your skin clean with lukewarm water.
Splash warm water over your face to wet it. Then, use your fingers to apply the water directly to the area you treated with hydrogen peroxide. Splash the spot several times to rinse away all of the hydrogen peroxide.
Don’t leave the peroxide on your skin because it may cause burns or irritation.
2-5. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
Use a clean towel so that it won’t get your face dirty and clog your pores. Gently blot your face to remove excess water. Don’t rub your face because it’ll damage your skin.
Keep in mind that the hydrogen peroxide might leave bleach spots on the towel if there’s any left on your face.
2-6. Repeat the treatment weekly until you get the results you want.
You may notice results after 1 treatment, but it typically takes several applications to see results. Apply the hydrogen peroxide once a week until the dark spots look lighter.
Stop using hydrogen peroxide if your skin becomes red or starts itching and burning.
Don’t apply the hydrogen peroxide more than once a week. Otherwise, it may burn or irritate your skin.
3. Soap and Hydrogen Peroxide
3-1. Grate 2 tbsp (30 g) of mild bar soap into a plastic container.
Use an unscented, mild bar soap to create your skin lightener. Rub the soap on a cheese grater until you have about 2 tbsp (30 g) of soap. Alternatively, use a knife to cut up the bar soap. Add the soap to a plastic container.
Smaller pieces make the soap easier to stir into the hydrogen peroxide.
3-2. Add 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the container.
Measure out the hydrogen peroxide using a measuring spoon. Then, pour the hydrogen peroxide into the plastic container with the soap. There will likely be some bubbling, and that’s okay.
You can also use a 1/8 measuring cup to get the right amount of hydrogen peroxide. A 1/8 cup contains 2 US tbsp (30 mL).
3-3. Use a plastic spoon or wooden spatula to create a paste.
Stir the soap and hydrogen peroxide together using a plastic or wooden utensil. Keep stirring until you have a paste.
You’ll likely see a lot of foaming as you stir, which is normal.
3-4. Apply the paste to your dark skin patch using the spoon or spatula.
Scoop out a small amount of paste using your plastic spoon or wooden spatula. Then, slather the paste over your dark skin patches. Apply a thin, even layer of paste over the entire area you want to treat.
For instance, you might apply the paste to your dark knees or dark underarms.
Make sure you don’t get any paste on skin you don’t want to bleach. The paste will lighten any skin that it touches.
3-5. Allow the paste to sit for 10 minutes.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and relax while the paste works. Stay as still as possible so that your skin doesn’t move or crease while the paste is working. This gives the hydrogen peroxide time to work.
Don’t leave the paste on your skin longer than 10 minutes because it might burn your skin.
3-6. Rinse off the paste using warm water.
Splash warm water to the paste to soften it. Then, apply more water to your skin to help wash away the paste. Use your fingers to get all of the paste off.
Try not to scrub your skin, as this can cause irritation. Be as gentle as possible when you're washing off the paste.
3-7. Use the treatment as often as once a week until your skin lightens.
You might see results after 1 treatment, but you likely won’t see significant results. Repeat the treatment once a week until you’re happy with the look of your skin.
If your skin becomes irritated, stop using the hydrogen peroxide treatments immediately.
You’ll likely see significant results after 1-2 months.
Tips
Test the hydrogen peroxide in a small area to see how it reacts on your skin. If your skin gets irritated or red, wash off the hydrogen peroxide and stop using it.

How to Bleach Towels
|
1. Using Bleach in a Washing Machine
1-1. Place the towels you want to bleach into your washing machine.
Select the appropriate load size based upon the number of towels you are bleaching. Be careful not to overload the washing machine.
Laundry that is packed in too tightly will not rotate as freely, and the agitator will not be able to clean it as well.
1-2. Set the water temperature to the highest possible setting.
Choose a hot water cycle that is 30 minutes or longer. The hotter the water temperature, the cleaner your towels will be.
Check the care label on the towels for any special instructions. Some towels cannot handle extremely hot water. If this is the case, use the hottest setting recommended on the care label.
1-3. Use the associated cap to measure the right amount of detergent.
If your washing machine has a detergent dispenser, pour the detergent to the “max-fill” line. If your machine does not have a dispenser, add the detergent directly to the hot water as it fills the machine.
Most laundry detergent bottles have a cap that functions as a measuring device. Read the label on the detergent bottle to know exactly know much detergent you need for the size of the load.
It’s important to use the right amount of laundry detergent. Too much detergent will cushion the load and decrease cleansing performance, while using too little will keep the towels from being fully cleaned.
1-4. Dilute ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of bleach with 1 US quart (950 mL) of water.
Use a large bowl, measuring cup, or bucket to mix the bleach and the water together. The appropriate amount of bleach can vary, so always add bleach according to the instructions on the label.
1-5. Add the bleach to the wash 5 minutes after the machine begins agitating.
If your washing machine has a bleach dispenser, pour ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of undiluted bleach to the “max-fill” line. The machine will automatically release the bleach at the appropriate time.
For front-loading machines that lock once the cycle starts, add the diluted bleach to the load at the same time as the detergent.
1-6. Close the washing machine and let the cycle run as usual.
Once the towels have run through the cycle and drained, flip them into the dryer or hang them up to dry. If the towels are not as white as you would like, repeat the process until you reach your desired result.
Skip the fabric softener, as it tends to leave a coating on towels that reduces absorbency and decreases whiteness.
2. Soaking Your Towels in a Bleach Solution
2-1. Pour 1 gallon (3.8 L) of cool water and ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of bleach into a large bucket.
If you have more towels to bleach, you may need more water. Add ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of bleach for every additional 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.
If you have a top loading clothes washer, mix the solution in the washer to prevent splashing the bleach on yourself or your work area. Set the washer to the “small” load setting and let it fill with cool water. Stop it once it starts to agitate. Most washers fill with about 12 gallons (45 L) for the “small” load setting, so add 3 cups (710 mL) of bleach.
2-2. Add your towels to the solution and soak for roughly 5 minutes.
Submerge the towels completely in the solution. Set a timer for at least 5 minutes and no longer than 10 minutes.
Gently swirl the towels around every 2-3 minutes to make sure all of the towels get evenly soaked.
If the water does not cover the towels completely, remove the towels and add 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of bleach to the solution. Continue adding solution at this ratio until you can completely submerge the towels.
2-3. Wring out the towels to remove any excess solution.
When the timer goes off, remove the towels from the solution. Squeeze them several times to drain excess solution until they are no longer soaking wet.
Wear rubber gloves to protect your skin from harmful chemicals in the bleach solution.
If you’re using a top loading washer, you don’t have to wring them out manually. Simply advance the dial so that the washer drains on its own.
2-4. Wash your bleached towels in a washing machine with detergent.
Use the hottest water setting possible. The hotter the water is, the cleaner the towels will be. When the washing machine finishes its cycle, dry them in a dryer or hang them up until are completely dry.
If you’re using a top load washing machine, add detergent to the dispenser or directly to the towels after they drain. Then, reset the dial to the beginning of the wash cycle and let it run all the way through.
Check your detergent bottle to know exactly how much to use for the size of the load you’re washing.
2-5. Scrub your hands with liquid soap and warm water.
Use liquid disinfectant soap and hot water, and scrub for at least 20 seconds. Dry your hands with a clean towel. While using a towel helps remove germs, it’s okay to let them air dry if you don’t have a clean towel.
If you need a timer, try humming the “Happy Birthday” song while you wash your hands. Scrub your hands for the entire length of the song, then use a clean towel to dry your hands.
Even if you used gloves to protect your hands, it’s a good idea to wash them properly to remove any bleach that may have gotten inside of the gloves or around your wrists.
3. Handling Bleach Safely
3-1. Never mix bleach with other cleaning products.
Mixing bleach with other cleaning products can release harmful toxic gases that can irritate eyes and respiration. In particular, combining bleach with ammonia releases chlorine gas, which can be deadly to inhale.
If sufficient amounts of bleach and ammonia are mixed together, an explosion may occur.
3-2. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands when handling bleach.
The active ingredient in chlorine bleach, sodium hypochlorite, is highly corrosive and can easily damage the skin. Rubber or nitrile gloves can protect you from unnecessary exposure.
Make sure to wear clothing that will protect your skin from bleach splatters or accidental spills.
Wear a plastic apron to avoid splashing bleach on your clothing.
Remove all other garments and fabrics from the area, since any bleach spill might remove their colors.
3-3. Mix bleach solutions outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.
Open as many windows in the room as possible, and use fans to exchange the air inside the room with the air outside. Bleach contains powerful toxins, and the vapors can build up quickly in small or closed-in rooms.
Bleach vapors can cause eye or respiratory irritation if they are not dissipated effectively.
3-4. Choose a bleach product recommended for use in the laundry.
Always check the label of the bleach bottle to make sure the bleach is safe to use in the laundry. Additionally, check the tag on the towels you want to bleach, as some towels will specifically say not to bleach them.
Chlorine bleach is the most popular form of bleach used for cleaning and may be used to bleach white towels as long as it is properly diluted.
Use a color-safe bleach containing hydrogen peroxide to bleach colored towels without damaging them. Since this kind of product might not be readily available, it might be a good idea to take your towels to a professional cleaner.
Never apply chlorine bleach directly to towels, as this can cause them irreversible damage.
Tips
Soak your towels in bleach solution within 24 hours of mixing it, as it decomposes over time if left unused.[19]
X
Research source
Never use concentrated bleach directly on towels.
Warnings
If bleach touches the skin, contact a healthcare professional if irritation persists for more than 24 hours.
Avoid touching your eyes when handling bleach. If bleach gets in your eyes, rinse them immediately for at least 15 minutes.[20]
X
Research source
Bleach releases a toxic gas when exposed to sunlight, so always store it in a cool, shaded area away from the reach of children.[21]

How to Bleach White Clothes
|
1. Soaking Your Clothes in Bleach
1-1. Read the labels on your clothes to see if they are safe to bleach.
Just because your clothes are white does not necessarily mean that they can be bleached. Check the tags on the clothes to make sure that you can bleach them– otherwise, you could damage or discolor the material. On the tag, there should also be information about how to care for and launder the clothing item. Make sure to keep this information in mind the bleaching process.
If you can't find washing instructions on a tag, you can find them online, at least for certain brands of clothing.
1-2. Test the clothes to make sure they are safe to bleach.
If there is no tag, or you are unsure if the clothes are safe for bleach, you can test them by placing a small amount of bleach on a hidden location like the inside of a collar, cuff, or pant leg. Add a small dab of bleach and wait to see if it discolors or damages the spot. If not, then the clothes are safe to bleach.
Clothes made of silk, spandex, or wool may not bleach well. Check the label to see if they are safe to bleach.
1-3. Mix 1 part all fabric bleach to 5 parts of hot water in a bucket.
Fill a large bucket with enough hot water to cover all of your clothes. Mix in the all fabric bleach into the water in the bucket. The water should be hot to mix well with the bleach and to lift any stains from your clothes.
All fabric bleach is safer to use on clothes and will not damage the fabric as much as chlorine bleach will.
You do not need to boil the water, but it does need to be hot.
1-4. Soak the clothes in the bleach for 10 minutes.
Wear a pair of protective gloves and fully submerge the clothes into the bleach mixture. Agitate the clothes by sloshing them around in the bleach water. Allow them to soak for at least ten minutes.
If the clothes have not gotten whiter after 10 minutes , or if you still see stains on them, you can let them soak for an additional 5 minutes.
1-5. Remove the clothes and rinse with cold water to remove the bleach.
When the white clothes have finished soaking in the bleach water, remove them and quickly rinse them with cold water. Bleach is highly corrosive and can damage the fabric if it is exposed to it for too long. It’s important that you rinse the clothes with cold water to remove any excess bleach.
Wring the clothes out and rinse them a few times if necessary.
1-6. Fill a bucket with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 5 parts cold water.
Add enough cold water to a bucket to fit all of your clothes and add the hydrogen peroxide. Because your white clothes have just been soaked in hot water and bleach, fill your bucket with cold water so you don’t damage your clothes. Stir the mixture to combine the peroxide and water.
1-7. Soak the clothes in the bucket of hydrogen peroxide and water for 10 minutes.
Fully submerge your clothes in the peroxide and water mixture. Then, agitate them by mixing them around in the bucket. The peroxide will work to further whiten your clothes and will also completely neutralize the bleach, preventing any possible damage from over-bleaching.
After the clothes are finished soaking, rinse them with cold water to remove the peroxide.
1-8. Dry the clothes in the dryer or by hanging them up.
Your white clothes should look considerably whiter, and any stains that were on them should have faded away. All that is left to do is dry them and wear them. You can either machine-dry them, or hang them up on a clothesline to dry.
2. Bleaching Clothes in a Washing Machine
2-1. Check the clothing labels to see if they are machine and bleach safe.
Not all clothing is safe to bleach or safe to wash in a washing machine. Check the tags of any white clothes you plan to bleach in the washing machine.
Also check that your clothes can be washed in a hot water cycle.
2-2. Set the washing cycle temperature to hot.
Bleach is most effective at whitening clothes and removing stains when used with hot water. Turn the dial on the washing machine to the hottest wash cycle.
Follow the directions of the label on the clothing item. If the label says that it cannot be washed in hot water, then don’t set your washing machine to a hot wash cycle!
2-3. Place the clothes into the washing machine.
Before you turn on your washing machine, you need to put all of your clothes into it so you can be sure they will all fit. Don’t bunch up or compress your clothes to make more fit into the washing machine because this can affect how well they are bleached. You can always divide them for another wash if necessary.
2-4. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser.
Laundry detergent can increase the effectiveness of bleach. Use the amount of detergent that is appropriate for the amount of white clothes that you are washing. Pour the detergent into the slot that holds detergent in the dispenser tray, which should slide out of the machine.
Many bottles of liquid detergent have a cap that you can use to measure the amount of detergent you need to add.
If your washing machine does not have a tray to add detergent, you can pour the detergent directly into the machine and on top of your clothes.
2-5. Pour ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of all fabric bleach into the dispenser tray.
Add the bleach into the slot specifically for bleach in your washing machine’s automatic dispenser. Be careful not to splash or spill the bleach when you pour it. Do not pour the bleach directly onto the clothes because it will discolor and damage them.
If your washing machine does not have an automatic dispenser, add the bleach into the water after you turn the machine on and the water is running.
2-6. Turn on the washing machine.
After you’ve added your detergent to the detergent slot and your bleach to the bleach slot in the dispenser tray, turn on the washing machine. The machine will wash your white clothes and the bleach will brighten them and remove any stains.
If your clothes are not as bright as you want them, or if you still notice stains after washing, do not repeat the cycle. Dry the clothes completely before washing them again.
2-7. Dry your clothes in the dryer or on a clothesline.
When the clothes have finished washing in the machine, take them out and dry them. You can either machine dry or hang them on a clothesline to dry. But if you dry them in a machine, they may shrink.
The bleach has already been removed during the washing cycle and will not continue to affect the clothes.
3. Bleaching Clothes in the Sun
3-1. Soak the clothes thoroughly with water.
You can either wash the clothes first, or just pour water on them. Clothes will bleach better in the sun if they are wet first. Wring out any excess water so that they are damp, but not sopping wet.
Do not use water that contains chlorine because this can discolor the clothes in the sunlight.
3-2. Hang the clothes out in direct sunlight.
Take your wet clothes and place them in direct sunlight. Be sure they are exposed to the light evenly so that they don’t partially bleach and discolor the clothes. Space them out from each other so the sunlight covers all of them completely.
If you don’t have a clothesline, you can lay the clothes out on the ground. Place cardboard or some other material to lay them on, and be sure to flip them so that they bleach evenly.
3-3. Spray the clothes with a mixture of water and lemon juice.
In a spray bottle, combine 2 cups (470 mL) of water and ⁄4 cup (59 mL) lemon juice and shake it up well to mix it. Lightly spray each item of clothing. Make sure you coat all of them evenly so you don’t end up with spots.
The citric acid in the lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, especially when exposed to sunlight.
3-4. Leave the clothes in direct sunlight for 3 hours.
Allow the clothes to soak up the sun undisturbed for up to 3 hours. Any more exposure to sunlight can start to damage the fabric of your clothes. Remove the clothes from the clothesline before any damage can occur.
You can check the clothes after 1 hour to see if you are satisfied with the results.
If you laid your clothes out on the ground, be sure to rotate them for even exposure.
Tips
If your white garment was washed with a colored piece and got stains—this is called transfer dye—, you could try taking it to a professional cleaner, since they might be able to help you with professional bleach treatments.
Warnings
Bleach can be toxic. Be sure not to get any on your skin or breathe in the fumes. Wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when handling bleach.
Be extremely careful when using bleach at home, since if it splashes on another garment, it'll automatically pull the color of it.

How to Bleach Wood
|
1. Preparing the Surface
1-1. Wash your wood thoroughly.
Never apply bleach to dirty wood. Before bleaching your wood, wipe the wood down with water using a soft rag. Remove any stuck on dirt or debris carefully and then let the wood sit out to dry. Usually, the wood will need to dry for one to two days before it can be bleached.
1-2. Wear protective equipment.
Bleach can be dangerous if you get it on your skin or in your eyes. Before applying bleach, put on a pair of protective goggles and thick gloves.
As bleach can stain clothing, it's always a good idea to wear old clothes when working with bleach.
1-3. Place the wood in a well-ventilated area.
Always work in a well-ventilated area when working with bleach to prevent dizziness or lightheadedness. An open garage or patio is an ideal place to bleach wood. Since the chemicals in bleach are highly corrosive, you do not want any to make contact with your or your household items.
1-4. Apply varnish or stain remover with a rag or brush.
Varnish or stain remover are used to remove any paint or finish from wood. It's important to start off with as clean a slate as possible when bleaching wood. Applications vary depending on the type of varnish or stain remover, so refer to the package directions. They are usually applied with a soft rag, left to sit for a set number of minutes, and then rinsed off with water.
Varnish removers are either chemical or citrus based. Chemical removers have strong fumes but can work in as little as 30 minutes. Citrus based removers have less odor but work slower and may require multiple attempts.
You usually have to let your wood dry for a day or two after using a varnish or stain remover.
2. Bleaching with a Two-Part Chemical System
2-1. Use two-part chemical bleach to lighten wood.
If you're just looking to lighten your existing wood, a two-part chemical solution is your best option. It's a less aggressive approach that aims to alter the appearance of wood without making major changes to it.
2-2. Mix your bleaches together.
Refer to package instructions for precise directions. You usually mix equal parts of the two bleaches in a glass or plastic container. Make sure not to use metal, as bleach can damage metal.
Make sure to read your package's instructions, as some solutions may be applied one at a time instead of being mixed together.
2-3. Apply the bleach evenly to the wood.
Dip a clean sponge in your solution to saturate it with the bleach mixture. Using slow, steady motions, apply the bleach along the wood in straight lines. Keep applying until the wood is covered in bleach.
If you're supposed to apply the bleaches one at a time, apply one bleach in this fashion followed by the other. Depending on the type of bleach you're using, you may have to wait a set number of minutes between applying each layer of bleach.
2-4. Neutralize the bleach with a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution.
After applying your bleach, mix a solution of half white vinegar and half water. Get a clean sponge and apply it to the wood in the same way you applied the bleach to neutralize the bleach.
Some bleach kits include a neutralizer along with the bleach. If this is the case, preparing a homemade solution is not necessary.
2-5. Rinse the wood with water.
Use a clean sponge saturated in clean water. Wipe down the wood until the water runs clear, making sure to remove all traces of bleach and vinegar from the wood.
2-6. Let the wood dry.
Drying times will vary depending on the type of wood and your bleach kit. The instructions on your bleach kit should give you a rough idea of drying times. Do not treat the wood further until it's completely dry to the touch.
2-7. Sand the wood.
Use sandpaper with a grit between 320 and 400. Once the wood is dry, gently rub the sandpaper along the wood. This will smooth out any rough patches and remove any fuzzy grains.
2-8. Neutralize your wood again.
After sanding the wood, repeat the neutralizing process. Make a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water and then apply it to the wood. When you're done, rinse it off with water.
2-9. Apply your finish
Applying finish is crucial for protecting the surface of wood as well as enhancing its appearance. After your wood has dried completely, you can apply a finish. You can buy a wood finish at a hardware store and apply it according to package directions.
Wear protective eye wear and gloves when handling finish as well. The chemicals can harm skin and sometimes emit hazardous fumes. For oil-based finishes, use a charcoal respirator to avoid breathing in the chemicals.
3. Bleaching with Oxalic Acid
3-1. Use oxalic acid for rust stains and weather damage.
Oxalic acid should not be used to merely alter the color of wood. It's best used if you have major damage, like rust stains and weather damage, that you want to bleach out.
3-2. Mix your oxalic acid.
The package directions should give you specific guidelines for mixing your acid. Usually, you dissolve 12 to 16 ounces (355 to 473 mL) of acid in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of hot water.
Mix oxalic acid in a glass container, instead of using metal or plastic.
3-3. Wipe the wood with the oxalic acid solution.
Use a sponge to apply coats of your acid to the wood. Apply generous amounts of oxalic acid to the wood to ensure it bleaches properly. The number of coats will vary depending on how damp you got your sponge. Apply enough coats that your wood is completely saturated with bleach.
3-4. Let the acid dry on the surface.
There is no precise drying time when working with oxalic acid. Let the acid sit on the wood while checking the wood periodically. Once it reaches your desired color, you can rinse the acid.
3-5. Rinse the acid with clean water.
Apply cleaning water using a sponge or rag. Keep applying water until the water runs clear and all of the acid is completely rinsed off.
3-6. Neutralize oxalic acid with baking soda.
Dissolve 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of baking soda in 1 quart (946 mL) of hot water. Pour the mixture of baking soda and water over the wood to neutralize the acid. Repeat two or three times, then rinse off the mixture with clean water. Allow the wood to dry overnight.
3-7. Sand the wood.
Once your wood has fully dried, sand it. Use sandpaper between 220 and 180 grit. Gently rub down the wood to smooth out any fuzzy, rough patches.
3-8. Apply a finish.
A quality finish can help enhance your wood's appearance and protect it from future damage. Pick up a finish at a hardware store and apply it according to package directions. Let the finish dry completely before handling your wood.

How to Bleach Your Clothing
|
1. Bleaching Clothes in the Washing Machine
1-1. Separate out all white clothing and linens.
Go through your laundry and place all of the white clothing items into a stack. Only clothing pieces that are completely white should be separated out. Only include pieces of clothing with colored stripes or designs if you are using color-safe bleach.
1-2. Check your clothing tags.
Read each item’s tag to ensure that they all can be safely washed in a machine on the “hot” water setting. Some all-white clothing items, like a delicate lace shirt, may need to be hand-washed. Some cotton items may need to be hand-washed or spot-treated to avoid shrinking.
1-3. Set the wash cycle temperature to “hot.”
Move the other settings to “regular” wash. This will ensure that the heat activates the bleach and actually whitens your clothing.
1-4. Pour detergent into the machine.
Use the same amount of detergent that you would normally use for a load of this size. The detergent will help to remove any dirt or grime from your clothing. Pour the detergent directly into the center barrel of the machine.
1-5. Measure out ⁄4 cup (180 ml) of bleach.
You can pour the bleach directly into the cap of the bleach bottle to measure it. Or, you can get a measuring cup used just for cleaning purposes. Go slowly to make sure that you don’t spill.
If the load fills over ½ of the machine, then add a bit more bleach. If the load is under ¼ of the machine, then you can put a little bit less in.
There are a number of different types of bleach that you can use. Chlorine bleach can disinfect your laundry, but may hurt delicate fabrics. Oxygen bleach is also called color-safe or all-fabric and can be used more widely.
You can also make your own bleach solution by creating a 50-50 mixture of water and lemon juice or vinegar.
1-6. Pour bleach into the washing machine dispenser.
This is usually a small, enclosed space located on the upper lip of the machine. After you’ve added the bleach, the machine will release it into the wash cycle as the water heats up.
If your machine does not have a built-in bleach dispenser, simply pour the bleach directly into the wash water after the cycle has begun before adding your clothes. Wait a few minutes to let the bleach soak into the water and then put your clothes inside.
1-7. Turn your washing machine on.
You’ll need to either pull out or turn the power knob into the “On” position. Some machines may have a simple button that you can push to start the cycle. The machine will start filling with water right away.
If you have a side-load washing machine, wait to start the cycle until you’ve loaded the clothes in as well.
1-8. Put your clothes into the washing machine.
Open the lid of the washing machine while the bleach, detergent, and hot water agitates. Drop you clothing items into the washing machine a few pieces at a time. Make sure that they are not tightly entangled. When you are finished, close the lid of the machine.
1-9. Dry your clothes as usual.
If your clothes need to line dry, go ahead and hang them up. Otherwise, place them in the dryer on the appropriate setting.
If your clothes aren’t as white as you’d like them to be, you can bleach them again to get the desired results.
2. Bleaching Clothes by Hand
2-1. Separate out your delicate clothing.
Look at your garment care labels and set aside clothing pieces that are labeled “hand wash” or “delicate.
If your clothes are a bit dirty, then you might want to give them a quick soak in a sink or basin with a bit of detergent before bleaching. This will make sure that the bleaching is equal across the fabric.
2-2. Mix together a bleach and water cleaning solution.
Plug the sink with the stopper. Then, pour into the basin ⁄2 cup (120 ml) bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 l) of water. It’s best to use warm or hot water, but go ahead and use cold or cool instead if your garment’s care tag suggests it.
Make sure that it’s okay to use bleach on the surface of your sink, if that’s where you plan to bleach the clothes. Some sink surfaces, such as certain types of marble, can be damaged by contact with bleach.
2-3. Submerge your clothes in the bleach mixture.
Push the clothing down a bit to make sure that it is thoroughly saturated. You can also slowly swirl the clothes around a bit with your gloved hand, if you like. Leave the clothes to soak for at least 15 minutes.
Do not soak your unprotected hands in the bleach mixture while handling the clothes. Instead, wear solid, well-fitting cleaning gloves to protect your skin.
2-4. Rinse the clothing off with cold water after 15 minutes.
While wearing gloves, pull the drain on the sink or carefully transfer each piece of clothing from the basin to a sink for rinsing. Turn on the cold water tap and hold each item under it. This helps to rinse the chemicals away.
2-5. Hang up or lay each clothing piece down to dry afterwards.
Most delicates cannot go directly into a dryer. Instead, carefully arrange each damp item on a stand-up drying rack. Or, place a towel down on a hard surface and place your clothing item flat on it.
3. Applying a Bleach Spot Treatment
3-1. Make sure the stain isn’t oil-based.
To do a bleach spot treatment, the clothing must be white. The stain must also be a certain type, such as coffee or grass. Bleach doesn’t effectively lift out stains that are oil-based, like mechanic’s grease. In fact, you may worsen the stain by applying bleach to it.
If you are dealing with an oil-based stain, you may want to take the clothing piece to a professional dry cleaner. They will have chemicals that may be more effective than bleach.
3-2. Set down a clean rag on a work surface.
It’s best if you use a sturdy, flat surface, such as a table or countertop. Lay down a clean cotton rag over the area. Then, place the stained spot directly on top of the rag. You want the rag to be thick enough to absorb any excess bleach.
3-3. Position the stain facing downward.
This makes the backside of the stain visible for treatment. When you apply bleach to the stain, it will loosen and fade into the towel below. If the stain is on a shirt, place a towel or rag in between the 2 shirt layers.
3-4. Create a bleach and water solution.
In a small bowl, mix 1 part bleach to 30 parts water. Swirl the solution around a bit with a spoon, so that it is fully mixed. Just make the minimum that you think you’ll need and re-mix if you need more.
3-5. Dampen a clean white cloth with the solution.
Use a cloth that you don’t mind getting stained. Dip the edge of the cloth into the mixture and then apply it to the surface of the stain. You may need to move the rag around to dip fresh areas into the solution as the stain begins to come up.
3-6. Rub the stain with light strokes.
Move the cloth with gentle pressure from the outer edges of the stain inwards. This will keep the stain from spreading. Keep going until the stain begins to lift.
3-7. Wash item as per care instructions.
Check to see if stain is fully removed before machine washing or drying, which could cause a stain to set. Once the stain is completely gone, you can place the clothes in a washer and dryer according to the care instructions. Or, you can hand wash and line dry if the item is a delicate.
Tips
Chlorine bleach has a shelf life of around 6 months before it starts to lose it efficiency.
If you bleach your clothes on a regular basis it can weaken the fibers and cause damage over time. Try to bleach only when you really need to.
Warnings
Make sure to store bleach in an area that is not accessible to children.
Do not mix bleach with other chemical products, such as ammonia. This can create fumes that are deadly or damaging if inhaled.

How to Bleach Your Ends
|
1. How do I bleach my ends at home?
1-1. Mix your bleach and developer together.
Pick up some powder bleach and liquid developer (20 volume is usually good for most hair types). Check the back of the package to find the ratio, then mix the products together in a plastic hair dye bowl.
1-2. Apply the bleach to the ends of your hair with a brush.
Put on gloves to protect your hands and grab a hair dye brush. Carefully scoop up the bleach mixture and brush it onto the ends of your hair, dragging the bleach up as high as you want it to go. Work in small, 1 in (2.5 cm) wide sections to fully saturate every strand of hair.
1-3. Cover the bleach in foils before rinsing.
In each section of hair, carefully slide a piece of aluminum foil over the bleach and fold it in half. Let the bleach process for 20 to 45 minutes before rinsing it out with cold water.
Bleach works with heat.
If there is no heat, you cannot lift enough color.
The aluminum foil helps to conduct the heat of your scalp more evenly into the sections you are highlighting and makes the bleach work faster.
2. Will bleaching the ends of my hair ruin it?
Bleach won’t ruin your hair, but it may damage your ends.
The ends of your hair are naturally more dry than the tops, since they don’t get the natural oils from your scalp. If your hair is relatively healthy, bleaching the ends won’t ruin it, but it might make it a little more dry or frizzy.
This is especially true if you have naturally curly hair. In general, curly hair is a little more dry than naturally straight hair.
3. Can I bleach my ends more than once?
Yes, but you should wait a while in between applications.
Bleach really dries out your hair, and bleaching more than once in a day can damage your ends a lot. If you want your hair to be lighter, you can apply the bleach 1 to 2 more times, but try to wait at least a week in between each application.
If your ends look yellow or brassy, consider using a toner instead of more bleach. Toners can help remove the yellow or orange tones in your hair, leaving it look silvery or platinum blonde.
4. What should I do immediately after bleaching my hair?
4-1. Use a hydrating hair mask right away.
Give your hair some moisture back with a hydrating hair mask. Focus the product on your ends and let it sit for as long as you can before rinsing it out.
4-2. Keep using conditioning treatments once a week.
Your hair might take a few weeks to get back to normal after bleaching. You can help it out by using a deep conditioner or a hair mask at least once a week until your ends look smooth and shiny again.
Tips
Prepare your hair before bleaching it by using hair masks and conditioning treatments.

How to Bleach Your Eyebrows
|
1. Using Bleach on Your Brows
1-1. Pull your hair away from your face.
You can use a headband or a towel to keep your hair in place, or you can put longer hair into a tight ponytail. This will keep you from accidentally getting bleach on other hair.
Even if you have very short hair, pulling it back from your face is a good idea, as stray hairs are likely to distract you. Use bobby pins, headbands, or hair clips to pull short hair and bangs out of the way.
Eyebrow bleaching is very detailed work, requiring your full attention.
1-2. Remove makeup from your brows.
Removing any makeup, dirt or oil from your skin before bleaching will help your bleaching be successful. To clean the tender area around your eyes, apply a make-up remover and wipe the makeup off.
If you've just had a shower, wait before bleaching your brows. Warm water and steam can make your skin more susceptible to irritation from bleaching.
1-3. Mix the bleaching powder and developer.
If your hair bleach is one of several popular commercial products, it will contain bleaching powder, liquid developer/peroxide, and an instruction manual for use. You should follow the instructions on how to do the mixing process, which will result in a creme that you can put on your eyebrows.
Mix your powder and developer in a glass bowl, or another non-reactive container.
Stir it with a cotton swab until it's a smooth consistency.
1-4. Test the bleach creme on your jawline.
Doing a patch test to see how your skin will interact with the bleach will keep you from accidentally injuring yourself. Make sure you only use bleach creme intended for facial bleaching, because the skin on your face is more delicate than other areas.
If you have very sensitive skin, use a milder bleach creme that's labeled for sensitive skin.
Testing the bleach creme on other body hair may also show the speed at which your hair will lighten, allowing for a more predictable lightening experience when you bleach your brows.
1-5. Apply the mixture.
Usually, commercial bleaching creme comes with a small applicator. You can also use a cotton swab if you've lost your applicator, or your bleaching creme doesn't come with one. You'll need to be gentle, but accurate, as you apply the creme to the eyebrow hairs you want bleached.
Don't rub the creme into your skin.
Make sure the parts of your eyebrows you want bleached are covered evenly and completely.
1-6. Keep an eye on the clock.
If this is the first time you've bleached your eyebrows, you might want to only leave the mixture on your eyes for a minute or two. Remember that the time that the bleach is on you eyes starts with the very first touch of the bleach.
You can always apply more bleach, but once your eyebrows are bleached you'll have to wait for them to grow back before you can reapply.
Leave the bleach on your skin for no longer than 10 minutes, no matter how dark your brows are or how light you want them to be.
1-7. Wipe away the creme from your eyebrows.
A warm, wet washcloth is best for wiping off the bleaching product. Be careful not to rub your skin, which may be irritated by the bleach.
Make sure to get all the bleach off.
Once you've wiped your brows well, look at your eyes in the mirror and check the results. If you need to reapply the bleaching creme, you can do this now.
If you are pleased with the results, wash your face with a mild cleanser. This will remove any last traces of bleach.
2. Creating Your Perfect Eyebrows
2-1. Shape your eyebrows after 24 hours.
Wait a while before shaping to avoid irritation. Using slanted-edge tweezers, pluck your eyebrows into the shape you prefer. Your eyebrows should frame your eyes, and so use your eyes as a guide for how to shape your brows. Your eyebrows should be poised directly above your tear duct, and the high point of your brow's arch should be in line with the outer side of your iris. The other end of your eye brow should end just outside an imaginary line drawn from the outer corner of your eye.
Taking a shower or bath before shaping your eyebrows will open your hair follicles, making plucking easier.
If plucking is painful, consider applying a topical numbing creme to your brows prior to plucking.
If you're unhappy with the shape of your brows, wait 3 weeks before plucking again to avoid over-plucking. If you like the shape, pluck away any stray hairs once a week.
2-2. Use good lighting and a regular mirror.
Magnifying mirrors can overemphasize your eyebrows, and you might pluck too many. Using a regular mirror in a well-lit room is the best way to pluck your eyebrows.
Take a step back periodically to see your eyebrows from a distance. This will give you a better sense of what your brows look like to other people.
Remember, other people will only be looking at your eyebrows in ordinary light.
2-3. Know where you will apply bleaching creme.
Many people choose to only apply bleach to the tops of their eyebrows, where plucking may result in unnatural looking lines. If you use bleach on the tops of your eyebrows, the result is a natural looking eyebrow where stray or dark hairs are lightened.
Bleaching can also be used to lighten any hairs between your two eyebrows.
Be very careful whenever applying any chemical near your eyes. If you accidentally get bleach creme in your eyes, rinse with water immediately.
3. Lightening Your Brows Without Bleach
3-1. Use hydrogen peroxide.
If you don't want to use bleach creme, or you want to just try out what lighter brows would be like, try using 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Dip a cotton swab into the liquid solution, and apply it to the areas of your eyebrow you'd like to lighten.
Hydrogen peroxide is an easily obtained, inexpensive product that's available in drug stores, pharmacies, or with first aid products.
Leave it on for a few minutes the first time you apply it, then wipe it off. If you want, reapply every day, which will result in a gradual lightening of your eyebrows.
If your brows are very dark, hydrogen peroxide will turn them a reddish-brown color instead of blonde.
3-2. Lighten your brows with chamomile tea.
If you prefer using natural products over chemicals, try combining chamomile tea with lemon juice. To make the tea, pour a cup of boiling water over a chamomile tea bag and allow to steep for 1 hour. Mix in an equal portion of lemon juice, and stir well.
Apply with a cotton swab to your eyebrows.
Repeat every day to gradually lighten your eyebrows.
3-3. Color your brows with a pencil or gel.
A brow pencil a few shades lighter than your current eyebrow shade will make your eyebrows appear lighter. If your eyebrows are dark brown, however, this may not work.
You can also use lighter colored eyeshadows around your eyebrows to maintain a lighter look.
Brow gel that's several shades lighter than your current shade can also create the effect of a lighter eyebrow.
Tips
Bleach both brows at the same time to get a consistent color on each.
Warnings
Keep any lightener or bleach away from your eyes. If any bleach accidentally gets into your eye, rinse it out immediately with water. If you feel any discomfort or notice anything unusual in your vision afterward, contact your doctor.

How to Bleach Your Hair
|
1. Bleaching Hair with Professional Supplies
1-1. Do your research to find the best products for you.
Find some photos of hair colors that you want to create with bleach and go online to look up what those colors are called and what products work best for creating them. Also consider what hair color you're starting with.
Consider looking up something like: “What hair products work best for bleaching black hair?” or “How to bleach red hair platinum blonde.”
1-2. Buy bleaching supplies from a beauty supplies store.
To properly bleach your hair with professional supplies, you will need to buy a number of products. Each of these is important and will be crucial at different stages of the bleaching process. These products include:
Bleach powder: this comes in either packets or tubs.
Crème developer: choose this product according to the color of your natural hair. If your hair is already blonde or light brown, use a 10 or 20 volume (10V or 20V) developer. If your hair is dark brown or black, you'll need to use 20V developer and give it more time to process. Talk with a sales clerk to get their opinion on what you should purchase for your hair.
Many professionals use 30V or 40V because it processes the bleach faster. Refrain from doing this alone at home because it can cause more damage than lower volumes.
Toners even out the color of bleached hair and neutralize unwanted tones and brassiness. Buy this if you're going for more of a platinum look. Some toners make hair white, and some give a silvery effect.
Add red gold corrector to the bleach powder to increase its effectiveness so you don't have to bleach twice.
You can use “purple shampoo” to remove brassiness and yellow tones. Don't use it often or it may stain your hair purple.
Buy a tint brush, a bowl, and plastic wrap.
Buy an extra package of bleach and developer so you have extra in case you run out midstream. Some people's hair will absorb the bleach mixture more quickly than others, and having extra bleach mixture on hand will save you the trouble of running out. You don't want to be halfway through your hair and find you don't have any more bleach mixture.
1-3. Start with unprocessed hair.
No matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it. Use gentle products, like shampoo and conditioner made from all natural ingredients, to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before bleaching.
1-4. Pre-condition your hair with a deep conditioner.
Use a deep conditioner a day or two before bleaching your hair to help build up moisture in your hair. There are many types of deep conditioners, from less expensive ($5-$8) to more expensive ($30+) store-bought ones to more natural, DIY ones. There are recipes to make your own deep conditioner, which typically use foods as their base. Search online for “deep conditioner recipes” for suggestions using bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, or other foods. This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.
1-5. Test for allergic reactions.
This step seems time-consuming, especially when you want to get started on bleaching your hair. But it is an important step that will save you a serious skin rash (or worse) if you happen to be allergic to the bleach or any of the other ingredients. To do a patch allergy test, apply a dab of bleach solution on a patch of skin behind your ear. Leave the bleach on for 24-48 hours and check for any allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching or burning on that spot. If you do have an allergic reaction, however mild, you should try a different method for bleaching your hair.
1-6. Mix up the bleach.
Read the instructions that came with the bleach powder to find out exactly how much to use. Usually, you mix one part bleach with two parts toner, but the instructions will give you precise measurements. Mix these in an old bowl with an old spoon or spatula that you will not be putting back into your kitchen. The mixture will be blue or bluish-white.
Add the red gold color corrector if you're going for a more platinum look. Pay close attention to the instructions on the label to ensure your measurements and proportions are exact.
1-7. Cover your skin and clothing.
Peroxide can stain clothing and can be irritating to skin, so take care to cover yourself properly. Wear gloves and cover your clothes with an old towel. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly along your hairline and neckline to protect your skin.
Never apply bleach without gloves; the chemicals can burn your skin.
1-8. Do a strand test.
Gather up a small hunk of hair from the nape of your neck. Spray the peroxide onto this strand, starting at the roots and working it towards the ends. Leave it in for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse out the peroxide and check the color against a white towel. This will enable you to check if you like the color before dousing your entire head in peroxide. It will also help you gauge how much time to leave in the peroxide.
1-9. Use hair clips to section your hair.
Divide your hair into a few sections and twist the sections up. Clip these sections into easily removable hair clips; it's best to use hair clips you can put in and take out with only one hand, especially after you start the bleaching process. Don't clip the first section you plan to bleach.
1-10. Apply the bleach to your hair.
Make sure your hair is completely dry before you begin. Use the tint brush to apply the bleach. Keep the hair that has not been bleached separate from the hair that has been bleached, so you can keep track of where you're at. Use clips or squares of foil to separate sections of your hair.
Depending on the style you're going for, you can use the tint brush to apply the bleach in different ways, including: roots to tips, tips to roots, etc.
Don't rub the bleach into your head, since the chemicals can burn your scalp.
To get salon quality highlights, separate out small sections of your hair that are less than an inch wide. Place foil squares under these sections to protect the rest of your hair from receiving any of the peroxide spray. Spray these sections and wrap them in the foil sheets to keep them from touching the rest of your hair while you let the peroxide sit in your hair. Highlighting your hair is probably easiest to do with a friend helping you.
It can be a good idea to just apply bleach to the front section of your hair, allow it to process, and rinse, before doing the back section. Putting the bleach mixture over your whole head takes time, and you may not have enough time to finish the back section before the front section needs to be rinsed out.
1-11. Check the color of your hair every several minutes.
Cover your hair with plastic wrap. Let the bleach start working on your hair. The longer you leave it in, the lighter your hair will be. Keep checking a strand of hair every 10 minutes until you're satisfied with the color of your hair. Don't leave the bleach in your hair for more than 45 minutes total.
Several factors, including the volume of your developer and the darkness of your hair, influence how long it will take for the bleach to lift your hair color to the lightness you desire.
1-12. Rinse out the bleach and wash your hair.
Rinse out all of the bleach with cool water. Then use the special shampoo for bleached hair. Dry your hair and check out the color. If you like the color, you can stop there. Style your hair normally.
Be aware of the different hues that a bleach job will give you, depending on your hair color. Dark brown hair will lighten to chestnut brown, but too much peroxide may result in an orange-brown color. Medium brown will turn to light brown; light brown will turn dark blond; red hair will turn orange, and with enough bleaching, will become strawberry blond; dark blond will turn light blond.
1-13. Decide if you need to use toner.
Some people will need to tone their hair to achieve a nice white blond color, or to even out some of the color imperfections that their hair has after bleaching. This may not work for everyone, however, and can result in white-gray hair that you may not like. The stage for adding toner comes in after you have fully bleached your hair and you will not be trying to bleach your hair further. You should have also already washed and dried your hair so that you can assess the color that your hair has become.
Toner can help fix any unwanted orange tones in your roots.
1-14. Mix up the toner.
Use an old mixing bowl and old spatula and put in the correct parts toner, developer and red gold corrector. Be sure to check the instructions on the box to get the correct proportions and measurements.
1-15. Apply toner to your hair.
Dry your hair at least a little bit with a towel. Use a clean tinting brush to apply toner to your hair in sections, using clips or pieces of tin foil to separate sections that have toner on them from those that still need an application. Applying the toner is not as time-sensitive as the bleach application stage, so you can take your time a little more now.
1-16. Leave the toner in your hair for about 30 minutes.
This varies depending on the product you are using, but 30 minutes is about the norm. Wait until the toner turns a dark purple in your hair. Check your hair after about 15 minutes to see how it looks by wiping off some of the purple toner. Keep checking every 10 minutes until you have reached the color you want.
1-17. Rinse out the toner.
Rinse your hair under cool water until all traces of the toner are gone. Cool water is better than warm water since it stops the developing process, which will stop the chemicals from removing more color from your hair.
1-18. Wash your hair with the purple shampoo.
Purple shampoo is a type of toning shampoo that is used to help distribute purple pigment to counteract brassy hues in your hair. By adding a little bit of purple pigment to your hair, you neutralize some of the reds and yellows in bleached hair, bringing out some blue hues and making your hair a slightly cooler color. Rinse your hair in hot water briefly so that the hair shafts open and are ready to absorb more of the purple hue. Apply shampoo liberally to your hair, let it sit for up to 5 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. The cool water will seal up the hair shafts and help retain the purple tones in your hair. Make sure you rinse it out completely, however, because it will stain towels and it can potentially leave your hair a lavender color if you have white blond hair.
There are several different brands and prices for these, from Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Shampoo for about $10 per bottle to Unite Blonda Toning Shampoo for about $30. Your best bet is to purchase this type of shampoo at a beauty supplies store. Talk to a sales clerk for advice on the best shampoo for your hair.
1-19. Take care of your hair.
Your hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.
2. Bleaching Hair with Peroxide
2-1. Buy hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound that serves many household uses, from cleaning cuts to disinfecting countertops to removing stains. It can also be used to bleach your hair. Hydrogen peroxide is readily available at grocery or drug stores, costing just a couple of dollars for a 32 ounce (910 g) bottle. Make sure the peroxide strength is no greater than 3% by double-checking the bottle's label of active ingredients. A stronger solution than this can severely damage your hair.
2-2. Start with unprocessed hair.
No matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it. Use gentle products, like shampoo and conditioner made from all natural ingredients, to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before bleaching.
2-3. Pre-condition your hair with a deep conditioner.
Use a deep conditioner a day or two before bleaching your hair to help build up moisture in your hair. There are many types of deep conditioners, from less expensive ($5-$8) to more expensive ($30+) store-bought ones to more natural, DIY ones. There are recipes to make your own deep conditioner, which typically use foods as their base. Search online for “deep conditioner recipes” for suggestions using bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, or other foods. This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.
2-4. Test for allergic reactions.
This step seems time-consuming, especially when you want to get started on bleaching your hair. But it is an important step that will save you a serious skin rash (or worse) if you happen to be allergic to the bleach or any of the other ingredients. To do a patch allergy test, apply a dab of bleach on a patch of skin behind your ear. Leave the bleach on for 24-48 hours and check for any allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching or burning on that spot. If you do have an allergic reaction, however mild, you should ty a different method for bleaching your hair.
2-5. Pour peroxide into a spray bottle.
Use a clean spray bottle or a recycled one that has been thoroughly washed and dried. This will help you aim your spray more evenly and accurately when applying it to your hair. Gather some cotton balls to aid in a more precise application. Do a few test squirts to make sure the spray bottle is functioning properly.
2-6. Cover your skin and clothing.
Peroxide can stain clothing and can be irritating to skin, so take care to cover yourself properly. Wear gloves and cover your clothes with an old towel. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly along your hairline and neckline to protect your skin.
2-7. Dampen your hair and clip it into sections.
Wet your hair with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a towel. Let it air dry for a few minutes until it's still damp, but not dripping wet. Use hair clips to section your hair. Divide your hair into a few sections and twist the sections up. Clip these sections into easily removable hair clips; it's best to use hair clips you can put in and take out with only one hand, especially after you start the bleaching process. Don't clip the first section you plan to bleach.
You can also apply melted coconut oil to your hair before bleaching to help protect your hair. To melt the coconut oil, place the sealed jar into hot water. This will liquefy the oil. Pour the oil all over your head and rub it into your hair. Wrap your hair in a plastic cap and let the oil soak into your hair for a few hours (overnight is best). Do not rinse your hair before applying the bleach.
2-8. Do a strand test.
Gather up a small hunk of hair from the nape of your neck. Spray the peroxide onto this strand, starting at the roots and working it towards the ends. Leave it in for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse out the peroxide and check the color against a white towel. This will enable you to check if you like the color before dousing your entire head in peroxide. It will also help you gauge how much time to leave in the peroxide.
Be aware of the different hues that a bleach job will give you, depending on your hair color. Dark brown hair will lighten to chestnut brown, but too much peroxide may result in an orange-brown color. Medium brown will turn to light brown; light brown will turn dark blond; red hair will turn orange, and with enough bleaching, will become strawberry blond; dark blond will turn light blond.
2-9. Spray your hair with peroxide.
Dampen the first section of your hair by spraying it with peroxide from the spray bottle. Make sure to spray it from all sides. The more peroxide solution you use on your hair, the lighter your hair will get. Be careful to only spray directly onto your hair, not your scalp; the peroxide may irritate your skin. Go slowly, paying careful attention to how your hair is reacting to the peroxide as you progress.
When the first section is damp, unclip a second section and spray it with peroxide. Repeat until all of your hair has been treated.
If you want to highlight a few strands of hair rather than spraying your entire head, dip a cotton ball in the peroxide and rub it on the strands you wish to die.
To bleach streaks in your hair, separate out the chunks that you want to bleach. Place foil squares under these chunks to protect the rest of your hair from receiving any of the peroxide spray. Spray these chunks and wrap them in the foil sheets to keep them from touching the rest of your hair while you let the peroxide sit in your hair. Streaking your hair is probably easiest to do with a friend helping you.
2-10. Let the peroxide sit for about 30 minutes.
The longer you leave the peroxide in, the brighter your hair will become. Be careful not to let the peroxide sit in your hair for more than 45 minutes. If the peroxide begins irritating your scalp, wash it out right away.
Using a hair dryer on your hair or another heater during this process may speed up the time it takes to reach your desired color. Even though the hair dryer will speed the process, be aware that the heat can damage your hair and could cause hair damage. This is not necessary, however, and if you are not sure how your hair reacts to peroxide, you should skip this heating step.
2-11. Rinse out the peroxide.
Use cool water to remove all traces of peroxide from your hair, then use a deep conditioner to restore its moisture. Allow your hair to dry, then style as usual.
2-12. Revisit the bleaching process in a week.
If this first round has not left you with the color that you're aiming for, you can bleach your hair with peroxide again. It's advisable to wait a week between treatments, however, to give your hair time to recover. The bleaching process is highly damaging to your hair and if you bleach your hair two or more times in one day (or even in one week), you risk causing serious damage to your hair (meaning, your hair might even fall out).
2-13. Take care of your hair.
Your hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.
3. Visiting a Hair Stylist or Colorist
3-1. Have a consultation with a trusted hairstylist or colorist.
Most hairstylists are trained in how to properly bleach hair, but some may be more skilled at it than others. Schedule a brief consultation with your hairstylist so you can strategize how you might want to bleach your hair. Ask your hairstylist how often they've bleached hair, how they've handled different types of hair, etc. Also ask for their recommendations on how to handle your hair and how they think your hair will react to the bleaching process.
You should also ask if your hair is healthy enough to bleach. Some colorists won't bleach hair that has already been color-treated, because it is such a damaging process.
3-2. Decide on a hue of bleached hair.
Bleached hair does still have variety in terms of hues. You can choose white hair, white blond, platinum blond, or a few other hues. Bring in a picture of someone with the same shade of hair that you'd like. This will help your hairstylist figure out the best approach to bleaching your hair.
3-3. Be prepared to spend time in the chair.
The bleaching process is a slow process and does not happen instantly. The hairstylist needs time to wash your hair, mix up the bleach solution, and apply it to your hair. It needs to sit in your hair for a while (30 minutes or so). Then your hairstylist needs to wash it out and dry your hair.
You may need to schedule a second session with your hairstylist if you have very dark hair and you want to go white blond.
Your hairstylist is also skilled at bleaching highlights into your hair. It is also much easier for another person to do this process, rather than trying to do it yourself. They can see your head from above and can apply bleaching solution evenly over your head.
3-4. Take care of your hair.
Your hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food items, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.
4. Bleaching Hair with Lemon Juice
4-1. Start with unprocessed hair.
No matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it. Use gentle products, like shampoo and conditioner made from all natural ingredients, to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before bleaching.
4-2. Pre-condition your hair with a deep conditioner.
Use a deep conditioner a day or two before bleaching your hair to help build up moisture in your hair. There are many types of deep conditioners, from less expensive ($5-$8) to more expensive ($30+) store-bought ones to more natural, DIY ones. There are recipes to make your own deep conditioner, which typically use foods as their base. Search online for “deep conditioner recipes” for suggestions using bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, or other foods. This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.
4-3. Juice several lemons.
Depending on how long your hair is and how much of it you want to bleach, you'll need the juice of 2 to 5 lemons. Cut the lemons in half and use a juicer or your hands to squeeze their juice into a bowl. Strain the seeds when you're finished juicing.
Don't use lemon juice that comes in a bottle. It contains preservatives that may damage your hair.
4-4. Dilute the lemon juice.
Pouring full-strength lemon juice on your hair can really dry it out, so it's important to dilute the juice with water. Add an amount of water to the bowl that's equal to the amount of lemon juice.
4-5. Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
It's best to use a new spray bottle, which can be purchased at most drug stores, but you can also recycle one you already have at home. If you're using a recycled spray bottle, make sure it is completely clean. Wash it out with soap and water before you fill it with the lemon juice solution. Shake the lemon juice solution well, and do a few test squirts to make sure the spray bottle is functioning properly.
4-6. Spray your hair with lemon juice solution.
Spray the area you want to bleach liberally with lemon juice solution, making sure the area is completely damp. Spray more lemon juice in the areas that you want to lighten the most. The more lemon juice you use, the lighter it will get.
If you want to highlight a few strands of hair instead of bleaching it all over, use a cotton ball to rub lemon juice solution on the parts that you do want to bleach.
4-7. Sit outside in bright sunshine.
The sun will react with the lemon juice and cause your hair to lighten. Wait for all the lemon juice solution to completely dry in your hair for about 30 minutes. Be sure to cover yourself with sunscreen and clothing to protect yourself from the sun's rays as you bleach your hair. Remember that this process can dry out your hair. Sitting in the sun for a long time will help your hair get lighter, but it will also cause some damage.
4-8. Wash your hair.
After the lemon juice solution has dried, wash it out with shampoo and then condition your hair with a good moisturizing conditioner. Style it as usual.
Once your hair is dry, take a look at the color. If you want it to be even lighter, repeat the process again in a few days. Don't bleach your hair with lemon juice more often than once every two or three weeks.
Tips
If you like natural methods of bleaching your hair better than the chemical-based methods, try bleaching your hair using other household supplies like honey, olive oil and chamomile tea.[17]

Get your hair trimmed after bleaching it to get rid of all the dry ends, which will make your hair look healthier.
Go outside a lot. The sun gives you natural pretty highlights, and it's easier to repair the damage than it is with chemicals.
Warnings
Keep in mind that your complexion and coloring will appear differently once you have bleached hair. Some of the makeup or clothes you wear will not look very good anymore. Skin imperfections tend to be more noticeable when you have bleached hair.
Both hydrogen peroxide and bleach can cause damage to your hair.
Do not attempt to bleach your eyelashes or eyebrows. The bleach can easily get into your eyes and cause severe irritation or even blindness. You should consult your hairdresser or an esthetician to complete this procedure properly and safely.
Don't bleach your hair if you are balding, using Rogaine or another hair growth product, or if you don't want to risk losing any of your hair.[18]

If you bleach your hair correctly, you shouldn't lose your hair, but it is still a remote possibility. If you don't know how your hair will react to the bleaching process, it is highly recommended that you visit a hair salon and get it bleached professionally.
Some doctors recommend that pregnant and nursing women avoid using chemical hair dyes. Small amounts of chemicals are absorbed into the skin, which can potentially pass along to the fetus or into breast milk. The amount of chemicals are small enough, however, that the risk of passing on from mother to baby is low. If you are concerned about this, you can check with your doctor or use natural hair dyes instead.[19]

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Bleaching Hair with Professional Supplies\\n1-1. Do your research to find the best products for you.\\nFind some photos of hair colors that you want to create with bleach and go online to look up what those colors are called and what products work best for creating them. Also consider what hair color you're starting with.\\nConsider looking up something like: “What hair products work best for bleaching black hair?” or “How to bleach red hair platinum blonde.”\\n1-2. Buy bleaching supplies from a beauty supplies store.\\nTo properly bleach your hair with professional supplies, you will need to buy a number of products. Each of these is important and will be crucial at different stages of the bleaching process. These products include:\\nBleach powder: this comes in either packets or tubs.\\nCrème developer: choose this product according to the color of your natural hair. If your hair is already blonde or light brown, use a 10 or 20 volume (10V or 20V) developer. If your hair is dark brown or black, you'll need to use 20V developer and give it more time to process. Talk with a sales clerk to get their opinion on what you should purchase for your hair.\\nMany professionals use 30V or 40V because it processes the bleach faster. Refrain from doing this alone at home because it can cause more damage than lower volumes.\\nToners even out the color of bleached hair and neutralize unwanted tones and brassiness. Buy this if you're going for more of a platinum look. Some toners make hair white, and some give a silvery effect.\\nAdd red gold corrector to the bleach powder to increase its effectiveness so you don't have to bleach twice.\\nYou can use “purple shampoo” to remove brassiness and yellow tones. Don't use it often or it may stain your hair purple.\\nBuy a tint brush, a bowl, and plastic wrap.\\nBuy an extra package of bleach and developer so you have extra in case you run out midstream. Some people's hair will absorb the bleach mixture more quickly than others, and having extra bleach mixture on hand will save you the trouble of running out. You don't want to be halfway through your hair and find you don't have any more bleach mixture.\\n1-3. Start with unprocessed hair.\\nNo matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it. Use gentle products, like shampoo and conditioner made from all natural ingredients, to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before bleaching.\\n1-4. Pre-condition your hair with a deep conditioner.\\nUse a deep conditioner a day or two before bleaching your hair to help build up moisture in your hair. There are many types of deep conditioners, from less expensive ($5-$8) to more expensive ($30+) store-bought ones to more natural, DIY ones. There are recipes to make your own deep conditioner, which typically use foods as their base. Search online for “deep conditioner recipes” for suggestions using bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, or other foods. This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.\\n1-5. Test for allergic reactions.\\nThis step seems time-consuming, especially when you want to get started on bleaching your hair. But it is an important step that will save you a serious skin rash (or worse) if you happen to be allergic to the bleach or any of the other ingredients. To do a patch allergy test, apply a dab of bleach solution on a patch of skin behind your ear. Leave the bleach on for 24-48 hours and check for any allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching or burning on that spot. If you do have an allergic reaction, however mild, you should try a different method for bleaching your hair.\\n1-6. Mix up the bleach.\\nRead the instructions that came with the bleach powder to find out exactly how much to use. Usually, you mix one part bleach with two parts toner, but the instructions will give you precise measurements. Mix these in an old bowl with an old spoon or spatula that you will not be putting back into your kitchen. The mixture will be blue or bluish-white.\\nAdd the red gold color corrector if you're going for a more platinum look. Pay close attention to the instructions on the label to ensure your measurements and proportions are exact.\\n1-7. Cover your skin and clothing.\\nPeroxide can stain clothing and can be irritating to skin, so take care to cover yourself properly. Wear gloves and cover your clothes with an old towel. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly along your hairline and neckline to protect your skin.\\nNever apply bleach without gloves; the chemicals can burn your skin.\\n1-8. Do a strand test.\\nGather up a small hunk of hair from the nape of your neck. Spray the peroxide onto this strand, starting at the roots and working it towards the ends. Leave it in for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse out the peroxide and check the color against a white towel. This will enable you to check if you like the color before dousing your entire head in peroxide. It will also help you gauge how much time to leave in the peroxide.\\n1-9. Use hair clips to section your hair.\\nDivide your hair into a few sections and twist the sections up. Clip these sections into easily removable hair clips; it's best to use hair clips you can put in and take out with only one hand, especially after you start the bleaching process. Don't clip the first section you plan to bleach.\\n1-10. Apply the bleach to your hair.\\nMake sure your hair is completely dry before you begin. Use the tint brush to apply the bleach. Keep the hair that has not been bleached separate from the hair that has been bleached, so you can keep track of where you're at. Use clips or squares of foil to separate sections of your hair.\\nDepending on the style you're going for, you can use the tint brush to apply the bleach in different ways, including: roots to tips, tips to roots, etc.\\nDon't rub the bleach into your head, since the chemicals can burn your scalp.\\nTo get salon quality highlights, separate out small sections of your hair that are less than an inch wide. Place foil squares under these sections to protect the rest of your hair from receiving any of the peroxide spray. Spray these sections and wrap them in the foil sheets to keep them from touching the rest of your hair while you let the peroxide sit in your hair. Highlighting your hair is probably easiest to do with a friend helping you.\\nIt can be a good idea to just apply bleach to the front section of your hair, allow it to process, and rinse, before doing the back section. Putting the bleach mixture over your whole head takes time, and you may not have enough time to finish the back section before the front section needs to be rinsed out.\\n1-11. Check the color of your hair every several minutes.\\nCover your hair with plastic wrap. Let the bleach start working on your hair. The longer you leave it in, the lighter your hair will be. Keep checking a strand of hair every 10 minutes until you're satisfied with the color of your hair. Don't leave the bleach in your hair for more than 45 minutes total.\\nSeveral factors, including the volume of your developer and the darkness of your hair, influence how long it will take for the bleach to lift your hair color to the lightness you desire.\\n1-12. Rinse out the bleach and wash your hair.\\nRinse out all of the bleach with cool water. Then use the special shampoo for bleached hair. Dry your hair and check out the color. If you like the color, you can stop there. Style your hair normally.\\nBe aware of the different hues that a bleach job will give you, depending on your hair color. Dark brown hair will lighten to chestnut brown, but too much peroxide may result in an orange-brown color. Medium brown will turn to light brown; light brown will turn dark blond; red hair will turn orange, and with enough bleaching, will become strawberry blond; dark blond will turn light blond.\\n1-13. Decide if you need to use toner.\\nSome people will need to tone their hair to achieve a nice white blond color, or to even out some of the color imperfections that their hair has after bleaching. This may not work for everyone, however, and can result in white-gray hair that you may not like. The stage for adding toner comes in after you have fully bleached your hair and you will not be trying to bleach your hair further. You should have also already washed and dried your hair so that you can assess the color that your hair has become.\\nToner can help fix any unwanted orange tones in your roots.\\n1-14. Mix up the toner.\\nUse an old mixing bowl and old spatula and put in the correct parts toner, developer and red gold corrector. Be sure to check the instructions on the box to get the correct proportions and measurements.\\n1-15. Apply toner to your hair.\\nDry your hair at least a little bit with a towel. Use a clean tinting brush to apply toner to your hair in sections, using clips or pieces of tin foil to separate sections that have toner on them from those that still need an application. Applying the toner is not as time-sensitive as the bleach application stage, so you can take your time a little more now.\\n1-16. Leave the toner in your hair for about 30 minutes.\\nThis varies depending on the product you are using, but 30 minutes is about the norm. Wait until the toner turns a dark purple in your hair. Check your hair after about 15 minutes to see how it looks by wiping off some of the purple toner. Keep checking every 10 minutes until you have reached the color you want.\\n1-17. Rinse out the toner.\\nRinse your hair under cool water until all traces of the toner are gone. Cool water is better than warm water since it stops the developing process, which will stop the chemicals from removing more color from your hair.\\n1-18. Wash your hair with the purple shampoo.\\nPurple shampoo is a type of toning shampoo that is used to help distribute purple pigment to counteract brassy hues in your hair. By adding a little bit of purple pigment to your hair, you neutralize some of the reds and yellows in bleached hair, bringing out some blue hues and making your hair a slightly cooler color. Rinse your hair in hot water briefly so that the hair shafts open and are ready to absorb more of the purple hue. Apply shampoo liberally to your hair, let it sit for up to 5 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. The cool water will seal up the hair shafts and help retain the purple tones in your hair. Make sure you rinse it out completely, however, because it will stain towels and it can potentially leave your hair a lavender color if you have white blond hair.\\nThere are several different brands and prices for these, from Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Shampoo for about $10 per bottle to Unite Blonda Toning Shampoo for about $30. Your best bet is to purchase this type of shampoo at a beauty supplies store. Talk to a sales clerk for advice on the best shampoo for your hair.\\n1-19. Take care of your hair.\\nYour hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.\\n2. Bleaching Hair with Peroxide\\n2-1. Buy hydrogen peroxide.\\nHydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound that serves many household uses, from cleaning cuts to disinfecting countertops to removing stains. It can also be used to bleach your hair. Hydrogen peroxide is readily available at grocery or drug stores, costing just a couple of dollars for a 32 ounce (910 g) bottle. Make sure the peroxide strength is no greater than 3% by double-checking the bottle's label of active ingredients. A stronger solution than this can severely damage your hair.\\n2-2. Start with unprocessed hair.\\nNo matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it. Use gentle products, like shampoo and conditioner made from all natural ingredients, to make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before bleaching.\\n2-3. Pre-condition your hair with a deep conditioner.\\nUse a deep conditioner a day or two before bleaching your hair to help build up moisture in your hair. There are many types of deep conditioners, from less expensive ($5-$8) to more expensive ($30+) store-bought ones to more natural, DIY ones. There are recipes to make your own deep conditioner, which typically use foods as their base. Search online for “deep conditioner recipes” for suggestions using bananas, avocados, mayonnaise, yogurt, eggs, coconut oil, or other foods. This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.\\n2-4. Test for allergic reactions.\\nThis step seems time-consuming, especially when you want to get started on bleaching your hair. But it is an important step that will save you a serious skin rash (or worse) if you happen to be allergic to the bleach or any of the other ingredients. To do a patch allergy test, apply a dab of bleach on a patch of skin behind your ear. Leave the bleach on for 24-48 hours and check for any allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching or burning on that spot. If you do have an allergic reaction, however mild, you should ty a different method for bleaching your hair.\\n2-5. Pour peroxide into a spray bottle.\\nUse a clean spray bottle or a recycled one that has been thoroughly washed and dried. This will help you aim your spray more evenly and accurately when applying it to your hair. Gather some cotton balls to aid in a more precise application. Do a few test squirts to make sure the spray bottle is functioning properly.\\n2-6. Cover your skin and clothing.\\nPeroxide can stain clothing and can be irritating to skin, so take care to cover yourself properly. Wear gloves and cover your clothes with an old towel. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly along your hairline and neckline to protect your skin.\\n2-7. Dampen your hair and clip it into sections.\\nWet your hair with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a towel. Let it air dry for a few minutes until it's still damp, but not dripping wet. Use hair clips to section your hair. Divide your hair into a few sections and twist the sections up. Clip these sections into easily removable hair clips; it's best to use hair clips you can put in and take out with only one hand, especially after you start the bleaching process. Don't clip the first section you plan to bleach.\\nYou can also apply melted coconut oil to your hair before bleaching to help protect your hair. To melt the coconut oil, place the sealed jar into hot water. This will liquefy the oil. Pour the oil all over your head and rub it into your hair. Wrap your hair in a plastic cap and let the oil soak into your hair for a few hours (overnight is best). Do not rinse your hair before applying the bleach.\\n2-8. Do a strand test.\\nGather up a small hunk of hair from the nape of your neck. Spray the peroxide onto this strand, starting at the roots and working it towards the ends. Leave it in for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse out the peroxide and check the color against a white towel. This will enable you to check if you like the color before dousing your entire head in peroxide. It will also help you gauge how much time to leave in the peroxide.\\nBe aware of the different hues that a bleach job will give you, depending on your hair color. Dark brown hair will lighten to chestnut brown, but too much peroxide may result in an orange-brown color. Medium brown will turn to light brown; light brown will turn dark blond; red hair will turn orange, and with enough bleaching, will become strawberry blond; dark blond will turn light blond.\\n2-9. Spray your hair with peroxide.\\nDampen the first section of your hair by spraying it with peroxide from the spray bottle. Make sure to spray it from all sides. The more peroxide solution you use on your hair, the lighter your hair will get. Be careful to only spray directly onto your hair, not your scalp; the peroxide may irritate your skin. Go slowly, paying careful attention to how your hair is reacting to the peroxide as you progress.\\nWhen the first section is damp, unclip a second section and spray it with peroxide. Repeat until all of your hair has been treated.\\nIf you want to highlight a few strands of hair rather than spraying your entire head, dip a cotton ball in the peroxide and rub it on the strands you wish to die.\\nTo bleach streaks in your hair, separate out the chunks that you want to bleach. Place foil squares under these chunks to protect the rest of your hair from receiving any of the peroxide spray. Spray these chunks and wrap them in the foil sheets to keep them from touching the rest of your hair while you let the peroxide sit in your hair. Streaking your hair is probably easiest to do with a friend helping you.\\n2-10. Let the peroxide sit for about 30 minutes.\\nThe longer you leave the peroxide in, the brighter your hair will become. Be careful not to let the peroxide sit in your hair for more than 45 minutes. If the peroxide begins irritating your scalp, wash it out right away.\\nUsing a hair dryer on your hair or another heater during this process may speed up the time it takes to reach your desired color. Even though the hair dryer will speed the process, be aware that the heat can damage your hair and could cause hair damage. This is not necessary, however, and if you are not sure how your hair reacts to peroxide, you should skip this heating step.\\n2-11. Rinse out the peroxide.\\nUse cool water to remove all traces of peroxide from your hair, then use a deep conditioner to restore its moisture. Allow your hair to dry, then style as usual.\\n2-12. Revisit the bleaching process in a week.\\nIf this first round has not left you with the color that you're aiming for, you can bleach your hair with peroxide again. It's advisable to wait a week between treatments, however, to give your hair time to recover. The bleaching process is highly damaging to your hair and if you bleach your hair two or more times in one day (or even in one week), you risk causing serious damage to your hair (meaning, your hair might even fall out).\\n2-13. Take care of your hair.\\nYour hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.\\n3. Visiting a Hair Stylist or Colorist\\n3-1. Have a consultation with a trusted hairstylist or colorist.\\nMost hairstylists are trained in how to properly bleach hair, but some may be more skilled at it than others. Schedule a brief consultation with your hairstylist so you can strategize how you might want to bleach your hair. Ask your hairstylist how often they've bleached hair, how they've handled different types of hair, etc. Also ask for their recommendations on how to handle your hair and how they think your hair will react to the bleaching process.\\nYou should also ask if your hair is healthy enough to bleach. Some colorists won't bleach hair that has already been color-treated, because it is such a damaging process.\\n3-2. Decide on a hue of bleached hair.\\nBleached hair does still have variety in terms of hues. You can choose white hair, white blond, platinum blond, or a few other hues. Bring in a picture of someone with the same shade of hair that you'd like. This will help your hairstylist figure out the best approach to bleaching your hair.\\n3-3. Be prepared to spend time in the chair.\\nThe bleaching process is a slow process and does not happen instantly. The hairstylist needs time to wash your hair, mix up the bleach solution, and apply it to your hair. It needs to sit in your hair for a while (30 minutes or so). Then your hairstylist needs to wash it out and dry your hair.\\nYou may need to schedule a second session with your hairstylist if you have very dark hair and you want to go white blond.\\nYour hairstylist is also skilled at bleaching highlights into your hair. It is also much easier for another person to do this process, rather than trying to do it yourself. They can see your head from above and can apply bleaching solution evenly over your head.\\n3-4. Take care of your hair.\\nYour hair will be brittle and dry after this treatment and will need deep conditioning to restore some moisture and elasticity. Use a deep conditioner (store-bought or natural) at least once a week, leaving it in your hair for 20-30 minutes and then rinsing it out. Results can be improved by heating up your hair with a hair dryer while the deep conditioner is in place. If you have made your own deep conditioner with food items, check to make sure it hasn't gone bad. If it's been mixed up for longer than a few days (or a week if kept in the refrigerator), throw it away and mix up a new batch.\\n4. Bleaching Hair with Lemon Juice\\n4-1. Start with unprocessed hair.\\nNo matter what bleaching method you use, it's going to cause your hair to become drier and more fragile than normal. Starting with healthy hair prevents excessive damage from the bleaching process. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair for about a month before you plan to bleach it.

This step will help minimize ending up with extremely dry and brittle hair after you bleach it by increasing your hair's moisture and elasticity.\\n4-3. Juice several lemons.\\nDepending on how long your hair is and how much of it you want to bleach, you'll need the juice of 2 to 5 lemons. Cut the lemons in half and use a juicer or your hands to squeeze their juice into a bowl. Strain the seeds when you're finished juicing.\\nDon't use lemon juice that comes in a bottle. It contains preservatives that may damage your hair.\\n4-4. Dilute the lemon juice.\\nPouring full-strength lemon juice on your hair can really dry it out, so it's important to dilute the juice with water. Add an amount of water to the bowl that's equal to the amount of lemon juice.\\n4-5. Pour the solution into a spray bottle.\\nIt's best to use a new spray bottle, which can be purchased at most drug stores, but you can also recycle one you already have at home. If you're using a recycled spray bottle, make sure it is completely clean. Wash it out with soap and water before you fill it with the lemon juice solution. Shake the lemon juice solution well, and do a few test squirts to make sure the spray bottle is functioning properly.\\n4-6. Spray your hair with lemon juice solution.\\nSpray the area you want to bleach liberally with lemon juice solution, making sure the area is completely damp. Spray more lemon juice in the areas that you want to lighten the most. The more lemon juice you use, the lighter it will get.\\nIf you want to highlight a few strands of hair instead of bleaching it all over, use a cotton ball to rub lemon juice solution on the parts that you do want to bleach.\\n4-7. Sit outside in bright sunshine.\\nThe sun will react with the lemon juice and cause your hair to lighten. Wait for all the lemon juice solution to completely dry in your hair for about 30 minutes. Be sure to cover yourself with sunscreen and clothing to protect yourself from the sun's rays as you bleach your hair. Remember that this process can dry out your hair. Sitting in the sun for a long time will help your hair get lighter, but it will also cause some damage.\\n4-8.

How to Bleach Your Hair Platinum Blonde
|
1. Preparing for Bleaching
1-1. Get your supplies.
If you buy ingredients separately rather than in a kit, it is cheap. You can bleach your hair, then mix small amounts of the chemicals later to touch up your roots.
1-2. Consider doing a test bleach.
You can get some hair from your hairbrush and going through the bleaching process with it to test how it will go. It's better to test it out first; that way, there won't be any surprise you'll have to grow out!
You can also test a few strands in an inconspicuous spot on the back of your head.
1-3. Wash your hair a few days before you intend to bleach.
Don't use styling products that may cause buildup. Leaving your natural oils on your head helps to protect your scalp and hair.
1-4. Oil your hair.
The night before you intend to bleach, soak your hair in coconut oil and leave it in overnight. Again, this helps protect your hair and scalp from damage.
1-5. Gather your equipment and some old towels, and ventilate the area.
Once you begin, you must work quickly to avoid burns, so having it all there helps.
1-6. Brush out your hair.
Carefully remove any tangles. Start by brushing out the ends, then gradually work your way up to the roots. If your hair is delicate, use a soft-bristle brush, a wide-toothed comb, or your fingers to work out tangles.
1-7. Protect your eyes, skin, and clothes.
Put on your goggles and gloves! Add tape around them to protect your eyes. Wear a button-down shirt or a loose-fitting top so that you can take off your shirt to rinse your hair without getting bleach all over your clothes.
You can also protect your clothes by wearing a hairdresser’s cape or draping an old towel around your shoulders.
2. Applying Bleach
2-1. Protect your skin with Vaseline.
Liberally smear around your hairline, ears and neck with Vaseline to provide a barrier between the bleach and your skin.
2-2. Part your hair in 4 sections.
Start by parting your hair down the middle from front to back into 2 equal sections. Then, divide each of those sections in half, making a part on each side just above your ear. Twist up each section and secure it with a plastic hair clip.
2-3. Mix your cream developer and bleaching powder.
Pour 2-3 ounces (60-90 ml) of cream developer into a plastic mixing bowl. Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of bleaching powder (or 1 scoop of clear developer and 1 scoop of bleach), in a room with windows. Remember that you will get a higher lift if you use 30 or 40 volume. Higher volumes also have a higher risk of burning your scalp.
The bathroom is probably the best place to bleach your hair, since you will have easy access to your shower and sink. Leave the door open and open the window or turn on the bathroom fan, if you have one.
2-4. Set a timer so that you know when you started the bleach application.
Then commence mixing the bleach and developer mixture. Prepare to apply the mixture.
2-5. Start applying the bleach at the back with an applicator brush.
DO NOT start at your roots, unless you want to come out with lighter roots and darker ends.
You can put foil under a section of hair, paint on the bleach, then wrap up that section in foil if you like. Make sure it is hairdressing foil and not tin foil from the grocery store or you could damage your hair.
2-6. Add bleach all over your head.
Keep 1 ⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) away from your roots initially. After you have finished the rest of your hair, apply the bleach mix to your roots, being careful not to massage it into your scalp too much.
Avoid putting the bleach directly onto your scalp. If you do, it will sting or burn a little bit, and it will hurt a bit. If it burns a lot, this is a chemical burn. Rinse it out immediately.
2-7. Adjust your process for darker spots, if desired.
You may wish to put more bleach, earlier, on whichever part of your hair is darker. So, if your roots are dark and the rest of your hair has been bleached before, bleach the roots for 15 or 30 minutes longer than the rest of your hair. If your roots are light or blonde and the rest of your hair is darker, paint the dark bits first.
3. Waiting and Rinsing
3-1. Cover your hair.
Put a shower cap, aluminum foil, or clear/white plastic bag over your hair. Make sure it's not covering your face, but is over all of your hair. Then tie it at the nape of your neck, making sure all of your hair is tucked underneath the bag.
If you want a higher lift, use aluminum foil instead of a plastic bag.
If you are using a grocery bag, make sure the side with printing on it is NOT against your head, or you will wind up with the color of the print processed into your hair a bit.
3-2. Leave it like this for 40 minutes.
Start timing from when you first started applying the bleach. Check your timer. If you leave it on for longer, it won't get any lighter, it will only damage your hair more.
Check the color all the time. Once at a pale yellow, you must wash off the bleach. Don't leave bleach on for over an hour. Don't bleach any more once at pale yellow or your hair will break.
If you’ve gone as long as you safely can and your hair is still not pale yellow, then rinse it out, tone your hair, and wait a month to re-bleach your hair.
3-3. Rinse out the bleach when your hair is light enough.
Wash out with a PH neutralizing shampoo. This will stop any further acidic or basic chemical reactions from occurring on your head. This will formally end the bleaching process.
You ‘’must’’ wash out the bleach mixture completely, or else you will damage your hair. After a while, the developer and powder stop reacting and your hair won't bleach anymore, only become more damaged. If you over-bleach, your hair might end up feeling a little bit straw-like and brittle. If you're in doubt, rinse it out.
Make sure to use a shampoo and conditioner designed for bleached blonde hair to eliminate any yellow and make your hair bright platinum and white. Any purple shampoo is fine. Remember purple counteracts yellow, makes it white, and eliminates brassiness.
4. Finishing the Process
4-1. Add toner/dye if desired.
Once hair is pale yellow, it is time to tone or color, if desired. Toner is semi-permanent hair dye that can counteract some of the unwanted hues from bleaching.
For a natural platinum look, dye it with a natural blonde mixture with 20 developer, since the hair is already bleached. Leave it on for 25 minutes.
For pale silver platinum, use a platinum dye with 20 developer, and leave on for 25 minutes.
For yellowish-white, leave it the way it is after completely stripping all the color with the bleach. Use a lot of purple shampoo to eliminate and dull yellow or dye it a level 12 color. Leave on for 25 minutes.
For white blonde or white use a white blonde toner, and leave on 25 minutes. Many of these toners are semi-permanent, so the color will fade and you can redo the toner the following week.
4-2. Condition, condition, condition.
Make sure your hair gets repair treatment and keratin protein and softening treatments. User a deep conditioning at least once a week.
4-3. Use a protein treatment to strengthen your hair.
Bleaching weakens your hair a lot, so adding protein will make it stronger and less susceptible to breakage. This takes a few hours to harden and about half an hour to wash out, so you must allow time to do it properly if you choose it.
5. Following up with More Bleaching
5-1. Don't bleach again right away.
If you under-bleach, and your hair is an orange tone, you must wait a month in order to avoid damage to your hair and skin and then bleach it once more.
While you’re waiting, you might try using a blue shampoo to balance out the orange tones in your hair. Follow the directions on the bottle to determine how often you should use the shampoo and how long you need to leave it in your hair.
5-2. Repeat the bleaching process after 1 month for even lighter hair.
Apply once a month, until your hair is a light yellowish color. After re-bleaching, shampoo with a pH balancing shampoo, apply toner as desired, and be generous with conditioning treatments.
After about 40 minutes (depending on your toner), wash, condition and dry as before.
5-3. Be careful with the whole process.
Do not bleach or dye your hair for more than an hour at a time, and always leave a month in between for processing time for your hair and scalp to heal. Otherwise, your hair will be damaged, dull, and frizzy. Your hair will become brittle and tend to break, and there's a possibility your head will be covered in scabs, which will develop into bald spots. Always condition in between! Be patient.
5-4. Rock your new blonde locks.
Make sure you keep up the good care of your hair, since bleaching can be a rough process. Condition often and use protein treatments to strengthen your hair and prevent breakage.
Tips
Condition, condition, condition, condition.
Also, buy another hair dye, a darker one, or the same as your previous hair color. That way, if it turns out bad, you can return to the same color. However, you should not process your hair with more chemicals, including dye, for at least 24 hours after bleaching.
Buy a hair serum/polisher to add to dry blond hair.
Warnings
Never use a metal clip or a metal mixing bowl!
Chemical burns can give you bald spots!
Doing this too often will damage your hair.
Do not leave the bleach mix on for over an hour! You will get chemical burns and your hair will be destroyed.
Don't use chlorine bleach to color hair. The term "bleach" refers to hair bleach, which can be purchased from beauty supply stores.
Use gloves!
Do not let the bleach get onto bare skin or clothing.
If done wrong, bleaching may turn your hair an orange color. You can remove the orange tone with a toner, which can be purchased from beauty supply stores. (A toner tones down the orange or yellow so it can look more natural).
Bleaching hair with reddish tones will result in an orange color.
If you breathe in too much bleach while applying it to your hair, and start feeling nauseated, call a doctor right away.
Virgin hair (hair that has never been touched by chemicals) is a lot easier to work with. If you don't have virgin hair get, Unred or blue bleach, which will act as a bleach and a toner in one to reduce those reddish tones that we all hate so much.
Do not let bleach come into contact with your eyes.
Wear goggles or you risk going blind!
Any bleach massaged on your scalp will most likely result in chemical burns, which are little scabs that not only are gross, but hurt! They are easy to get if you over-process without giving your scalp a chance to breathe and heal.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Preparing for Bleaching\\n1-1. Get your supplies.\\nIf you buy ingredients separately rather than in a kit, it is cheap. You can bleach your hair, then mix small amounts of the chemicals later to touch up your roots.\\n1-2. Consider doing a test bleach.\\nYou can get some hair from your hairbrush and going through the bleaching process with it to test how it will go. It's better to test it out first; that way, there won't be any surprise you'll have to grow out!\\nYou can also test a few strands in an inconspicuous spot on the back of your head.\\n1-3. Wash your hair a few days before you intend to bleach.\\nDon't use styling products that may cause buildup. Leaving your natural oils on your head helps to protect your scalp and hair.\\n1-4. Oil your hair.\\nThe night before you intend to bleach, soak your hair in coconut oil and leave it in overnight. Again, this helps protect your hair and scalp from damage.\\n1-5. Gather your equipment and some old towels, and ventilate the area.\\nOnce you begin, you must work quickly to avoid burns, so having it all there helps.\\n1-6. Brush out your hair.\\nCarefully remove any tangles. Start by brushing out the ends, then gradually work your way up to the roots. If your hair is delicate, use a soft-bristle brush, a wide-toothed comb, or your fingers to work out tangles.\\n1-7. Protect your eyes, skin, and clothes.\\nPut on your goggles and gloves! Add tape around them to protect your eyes. Wear a button-down shirt or a loose-fitting top so that you can take off your shirt to rinse your hair without getting bleach all over your clothes.\\nYou can also protect your clothes by wearing a hairdresser’s cape or draping an old towel around your shoulders.\\n2. Applying Bleach\\n2-1. Protect your skin with Vaseline.\\nLiberally smear around your hairline, ears and neck with Vaseline to provide a barrier between the bleach and your skin.\\n2-2. Part your hair in 4 sections.\\nStart by parting your hair down the middle from front to back into 2 equal sections. Then, divide each of those sections in half, making a part on each side just above your ear. Twist up each section and secure it with a plastic hair clip.\\n2-3. Mix your cream developer and bleaching powder.\\nPour 2-3 ounces (60-90 ml) of cream developer into a plastic mixing bowl. Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of bleaching powder (or 1 scoop of clear developer and 1 scoop of bleach), in a room with windows. Remember that you will get a higher lift if you use 30 or 40 volume. Higher volumes also have a higher risk of burning your scalp.\\nThe bathroom is probably the best place to bleach your hair, since you will have easy access to your shower and sink. Leave the door open and open the window or turn on the bathroom fan, if you have one.\\n2-4. Set a timer so that you know when you started the bleach application.\\nThen commence mixing the bleach and developer mixture. Prepare to apply the mixture.\\n2-5. Start applying the bleach at the back with an applicator brush.\\nDO NOT start at your roots, unless you want to come out with lighter roots and darker ends.\\nYou can put foil under a section of hair, paint on the bleach, then wrap up that section in foil if you like. Make sure it is hairdressing foil and not tin foil from the grocery store or you could damage your hair.\\n2-6. Add bleach all over your head.\\nKeep 1 ⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) away from your roots initially. After you have finished the rest of your hair, apply the bleach mix to your roots, being careful not to massage it into your scalp too much.\\nAvoid putting the bleach directly onto your scalp. If you do, it will sting or burn a little bit, and it will hurt a bit. If it burns a lot, this is a chemical burn. Rinse it out immediately.\\n2-7. Adjust your process for darker spots, if desired.\\nYou may wish to put more bleach, earlier, on whichever part of your hair is darker. So, if your roots are dark and the rest of your hair has been bleached before, bleach the roots for 15 or 30 minutes longer than the rest of your hair. If your roots are light or blonde and the rest of your hair is darker, paint the dark bits first.\\n3. Waiting and Rinsing\\n3-1. Cover your hair.\\nPut a shower cap, aluminum foil, or clear/white plastic bag over your hair. Make sure it's not covering your face, but is over all of your hair. Then tie it at the nape of your neck, making sure all of your hair is tucked underneath the bag.\\nIf you want a higher lift, use aluminum foil instead of a plastic bag.\\nIf you are using a grocery bag, make sure the side with printing on it is NOT against your head, or you will wind up with the color of the print processed into your hair a bit.\\n3-2. Leave it like this for 40 minutes.\\nStart timing from when you first started applying the bleach. Check your timer. If you leave it on for longer, it won't get any lighter, it will only damage your hair more.\\nCheck the color all the time. Once at a pale yellow, you must wash off the bleach. Don't leave bleach on for over an hour. Don't bleach any more once at pale yellow or your hair will break.\\nIf you’ve gone as long as you safely can and your hair is still not pale yellow, then rinse it out, tone your hair, and wait a month to re-bleach your hair.\\n3-3. Rinse out the bleach when your hair is light enough.\\nWash out with a PH neutralizing shampoo. This will stop any further acidic or basic chemical reactions from occurring on your head. This will formally end the bleaching process.\\nYou ‘’must’’ wash out the bleach mixture completely, or else you will damage your hair. After a while, the developer and powder stop reacting and your hair won't bleach anymore, only become more damaged. If you over-bleach, your hair might end up feeling a little bit straw-like and brittle. If you're in doubt, rinse it out.\\nMake sure to use a shampoo and conditioner designed for bleached blonde hair to eliminate any yellow and make your hair bright platinum and white. Any purple shampoo is fine. Remember purple counteracts yellow, makes it white, and eliminates brassiness.\\n4. Finishing the Process\\n4-1. Add toner/dye if desired.\\nOnce hair is pale yellow, it is time to tone or color, if desired. Toner is semi-permanent hair dye that can counteract some of the unwanted hues from bleaching.\\nFor a natural platinum look, dye it with a natural blonde mixture with 20 developer, since the hair is already bleached. Leave it on for 25 minutes.\\nFor pale silver platinum, use a platinum dye with 20 developer, and leave on for 25 minutes.\\nFor yellowish-white, leave it the way it is after completely stripping all the color with the bleach. Use a lot of purple shampoo to eliminate and dull yellow or dye it a level 12 color. Leave on for 25 minutes.\\nFor white blonde or white use a white blonde toner, and leave on 25 minutes. Many of these toners are semi-permanent, so the color will fade and you can redo the toner the following week.\\n4-2. Condition, condition, condition.\\nMake sure your hair gets repair treatment and keratin protein and softening treatments. User a deep conditioning at least once a week.\\n4-3. Use a protein treatment to strengthen your hair.\\nBleaching weakens your hair a lot, so adding protein will make it stronger and less susceptible to breakage. This takes a few hours to harden and about half an hour to wash out, so you must allow time to do it properly if you choose it.\\n5. Following up with More Bleaching\\n5-1.

How to Bleach Your Hair With Hydrogen Peroxide
|
1. Getting Ready to Bleach Your Hair
1-1. Start with healthy hair.
Even old hair dye can affect the results. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair in the weeks leading up to the bleaching. Bleaching your hair will work better and cause less damage if your hair is strong and unprocessed. If your hair is damaged or processed, then you are better off going to a salon. Strengthen your hair in the following ways:
Use a natural shampoo and conditioner. Avoid products containing sulfates, which dry out your hair.
Avoid chemical-laden hair sprays, gels, straightening products, and other hair products.
Don't apply heat to your hair with a straight iron, blow dryer, or other heating appliance.
1-2. Gather your supplies.
To bleach your hair with peroxide, you'll need the following materials. Gather them together and set them up on a table in your kitchen or bathroom:
A 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Any higher than 3% and you risk hair loss when applying. Not fun!
A clean, empty spray bottle. You can buy a new one at the drugstore, or use an old one. If you use an old one, wash it out thoroughly. If you're going to store the peroxide, keep it in a dark bottle and away from light.
Hair clips.
Cotton balls.
A towel.
Gloves.
Aluminum foil, if you plan to do highlights.
Shower cap, if you plan to bleach your whole head of hair.
1-3. Wash and condition your hair.
On the day you plan to bleach your hair, wash and condition it as normal to make sure the oils and grime caused by natural wear and styling products don't interfere with the peroxide.
Condition well with a good natural conditioner. Bleaching your hair with peroxide can dry it out, and conditioner will protect it during the process.
Let your hair air-dry instead of blow drying it. Pat it dry with a towel to keep it from dripping, comb it out gently, and let it dry for about thirty minutes. Hair that is a little wet will take the hydrogen peroxide better.
2. Applying the Hydrogen Peroxide
2-1. Do a strand test.
Take a small section from the underside of your hair and use a cotton ball to apply peroxide. Let it sit for a few minutes, then check it. You can leave it in for up to 30 minutes if desired, but rinse it out with cold water when it reaches your desired color. Make sure to pay attention to how much time it takes to reach the desired color and use this time to help you determine how long to leave the peroxide on the rest of your hair.
It is important to do a strand test because hydrogen peroxide may result in damage to your hair.
2-2. Section your hair with clips.
Once your hair is reasonably dry, section off parts of hair you want bleached with claw clips. Sectioning your hair will help you make sure you treat every last lock with peroxide.
If you want a very even bleach, the claw clip method is highly recommended. It takes more time, but it looks more professional and it offers more even highlights.
Leave the first section of hair that you want to treat down. You'll unclip further sections as you go.
2-3. Apply the peroxide to sections for highlights.
For bringing out natural highlights, apply peroxide with a cotton ball. Pour some peroxide on a cotton ball. Smooth it over vertical sections of hair that are about ⁄4 inch (6.4 mm) thick. Start at the roots and stroke down to the tips with the cotton ball.
Wrap each hair section in a piece of tin foil to keep the peroxide from getting onto the rest of your hair.
Repeat this process with multiple sections of your hair for all over highlights, or just do a few sections towards the front of your face for face framing highlights.
2-4. Apply peroxide to the bottom half of your hair for an ombre effect.
If you want an ombre look, start applying the peroxide near the ends of your hair. Use a cotton ball to apply peroxide to the bottom half of your hair all around your head.
To avoid a blunt, horizontal line through your hair, apply the peroxide to a different spot on each strand of hair. You should still aim to apply it somewhere near the middle of the strand.
You can go as far up the strands of hair as you want, but make sure to begin the application at your ends. This way the tips will be a brighter blonde and the color will fade to a darker shade as you move up towards your roots.
2-5. Use a spray bottle to apply peroxide to your whole head.
To bleach all of your hair, use a spray bottle to spray the entire section of hair you left down. Spray it thoroughly and run a comb through your hair multiple times. Repeat with the remaining clipped sections of your hair.
After you have finished applying the peroxide, put on a shower cap to keep the peroxide from dripping or touching your clothes.
2-6. Leave the hydrogen peroxide in your hair for about 30 minutes.
Depending on how dark your hair is, how light you want it, and how much irritation the chemical may cause, you'll want to experiment and play around with it.
Use your strand test to help you determine how long to leave the peroxide in your hair. You may only need a few minutes, or you may need the full 30 minutes.
When you are ready to rinse, remove the tin foil or shower cap if you used them.
2-7. Wash your hair thoroughly with cold water and apply conditioner.
Shampoo your hair to remove the peroxide, and rinse with cool water to add shine. The conditioner will help to restore some of the lost moisture.
Add another coat of deep conditioner to your hair. Massage it into your scalp to ease any dryness or irritation the peroxide might have caused. Rinse it out with cool water.
Allow your hair to air dry, then style as desired.
3. Perfecting Your Bleached Look
3-1. Repeat the process to lighten your hair further.
The first time you use the peroxide treatment, your hair may get just a little lighter. If you want to lighten your hair more, then you'll have to repeat the treatment one or more times.
Your hair will become much lighter if you repeat this process in smaller doses every day for a week than if you use a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on your hair one night.
The final color also depends on what color your hair was to start out with.
If your hair is very dark, your peroxide-saturated hair might seem a bit more orange at first. Keep continuing the treatment and your hair should seem blonder.
3-2. Apply gentle heat to speed up the process.
Using a hair dryer on a low setting to gently heat your hair can help to speed up the lightening process. Turn on your hair dryer to a low heat setting and move it from root to strand all over your head. Do this until your hair reaches the desired lightness.
It is best to use heat if you have bleached your hair with peroxide before and have a good idea of how it will turn out. If you are not sure, then avoid using a hair dryer. Go slow instead and see how the peroxide affects your hair as it air dries.
3-3. Wash your hair less often.
Don't wash your hair every day. Washing your hair daily strips out natural oils that protect your hair from breaking. Try shampooing your hair only once or twice per week and use a dry shampoo (a powder you comb into your hair) to keep it looking fresh between washes.
3-4. Use a violet-tinted conditioner once or twice a week.
This will control any yellow tones in your hair. You can buy a violet conditioner at a grocery store or beauty store.
3-5. Cut back on heat treatments.
Don't blow dry or straighten your hair too much. These heating tools can exacerbate the damage caused by the peroxide, so only use them once a week or less. Try using heat free styling methods, or use a hair dryer on a lower setting.
3-6. Handle your hair gently.
Let your hair air dry as often as possible, and don't wring it out or rub it with a towel after showering. Just give your hair a gentle squeeze with the towel, and then leave it be for a while. Also, make sure that when you brush your hair, you start from the ends and go slow to avoid breaking your strands.
Tips
Since hydrogen peroxide can leave your hair with an orange or brassy tone, try washing your hair with a violet shampoo that is made for this purpose.
A quality deep conditioner is a must whether you are bleaching your hair at home or professionally. Make sure you massage your conditioner into your scalp (it won't make your hair greasy if you rinse well).
If you get any on your skin, wash it as soon as possible.
Warnings
Hydrogen Peroxide isn't safe to use around children as it will burn and be very painful if it gets in your eyes or if you swallow it. Be careful and use common sense.
Don't just pour the bottle of peroxide over your head. Use a medium, like a cotton swab or spray bottle.
Don't rub your scalp too hard when washing it.
Don't wash it out quicker than the instructions say or you won't get a good result.
Keep an eye on the bleach, as it can affect one person's hair quicker than others.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Getting Ready to Bleach Your Hair\\n1-1. Start with healthy hair.\\nEven old hair dye can affect the results. Don't dye or otherwise process your hair in the weeks leading up to the bleaching. Bleaching your hair will work better and cause less damage if your hair is strong and unprocessed. If your hair is damaged or processed, then you are better off going to a salon. Strengthen your hair in the following ways:\\nUse a natural shampoo and conditioner. Avoid products containing sulfates, which dry out your hair.\\nAvoid chemical-laden hair sprays, gels, straightening products, and other hair products.\\nDon't apply heat to your hair with a straight iron, blow dryer, or other heating appliance.\\n1-2. Gather your supplies.\\nTo bleach your hair with peroxide, you'll need the following materials. Gather them together and set them up on a table in your kitchen or bathroom:\\nA 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Any higher than 3% and you risk hair loss when applying. Not fun!\\nA clean, empty spray bottle. You can buy a new one at the drugstore, or use an old one. If you use an old one, wash it out thoroughly. If you're going to store the peroxide, keep it in a dark bottle and away from light.\\nHair clips.\\nCotton balls.\\nA towel.\\nGloves.\\nAluminum foil, if you plan to do highlights.\\nShower cap, if you plan to bleach your whole head of hair.\\n1-3. Wash and condition your hair.\\nOn the day you plan to bleach your hair, wash and condition it as normal to make sure the oils and grime caused by natural wear and styling products don't interfere with the peroxide.\\nCondition well with a good natural conditioner. Bleaching your hair with peroxide can dry it out, and conditioner will protect it during the process.\\nLet your hair air-dry instead of blow drying it. Pat it dry with a towel to keep it from dripping, comb it out gently, and let it dry for about thirty minutes. Hair that is a little wet will take the hydrogen peroxide better.\\n2. Applying the Hydrogen Peroxide\\n2-1. Do a strand test.\\nTake a small section from the underside of your hair and use a cotton ball to apply peroxide. Let it sit for a few minutes, then check it. You can leave it in for up to 30 minutes if desired, but rinse it out with cold water when it reaches your desired color. Make sure to pay attention to how much time it takes to reach the desired color and use this time to help you determine how long to leave the peroxide on the rest of your hair.\\nIt is important to do a strand test because hydrogen peroxide may result in damage to your hair.\\n2-2. Section your hair with clips.\\nOnce your hair is reasonably dry, section off parts of hair you want bleached with claw clips. Sectioning your hair will help you make sure you treat every last lock with peroxide.\\nIf you want a very even bleach, the claw clip method is highly recommended. It takes more time, but it looks more professional and it offers more even highlights.\\nLeave the first section of hair that you want to treat down. You'll unclip further sections as you go.\\n2-3. Apply the peroxide to sections for highlights.\\nFor bringing out natural highlights, apply peroxide with a cotton ball. Pour some peroxide on a cotton ball. Smooth it over vertical sections of hair that are about ⁄4 inch (6.4 mm) thick. Start at the roots and stroke down to the tips with the cotton ball.\\nWrap each hair section in a piece of tin foil to keep the peroxide from getting onto the rest of your hair.\\nRepeat this process with multiple sections of your hair for all over highlights, or just do a few sections towards the front of your face for face framing highlights.\\n2-4. Apply peroxide to the bottom half of your hair for an ombre effect.\\nIf you want an ombre look, start applying the peroxide near the ends of your hair. Use a cotton ball to apply peroxide to the bottom half of your hair all around your head.\\nTo avoid a blunt, horizontal line through your hair, apply the peroxide to a different spot on each strand of hair. You should still aim to apply it somewhere near the middle of the strand.\\nYou can go as far up the strands of hair as you want, but make sure to begin the application at your ends. This way the tips will be a brighter blonde and the color will fade to a darker shade as you move up towards your roots.\\n2-5. Use a spray bottle to apply peroxide to your whole head.\\nTo bleach all of your hair, use a spray bottle to spray the entire section of hair you left down. Spray it thoroughly and run a comb through your hair multiple times. Repeat with the remaining clipped sections of your hair.\\nAfter you have finished applying the peroxide, put on a shower cap to keep the peroxide from dripping or touching your clothes.\\n2-6. Leave the hydrogen peroxide in your hair for about 30 minutes.\\nDepending on how dark your hair is, how light you want it, and how much irritation the chemical may cause, you'll want to experiment and play around with it.\\nUse your strand test to help you determine how long to leave the peroxide in your hair. You may only need a few minutes, or you may need the full 30 minutes.\\nWhen you are ready to rinse, remove the tin foil or shower cap if you used them.\\n2-7. Wash your hair thoroughly with cold water and apply conditioner.\\nShampoo your hair to remove the peroxide, and rinse with cool water to add shine. The conditioner will help to restore some of the lost moisture.\\nAdd another coat of deep conditioner to your hair. Massage it into your scalp to ease any dryness or irritation the peroxide might have caused. Rinse it out with cool water.\\nAllow your hair to air dry, then style as desired.\\n3. Perfecting Your Bleached Look\\n3-1. Repeat the process to lighten your hair further.\\nThe first time you use the peroxide treatment, your hair may get just a little lighter.

How to Bleach Your Hair at Home
|
1. Getting Prepared
1-1. Assess the risk.
The best results happen on hair that has not been colored before and hair that is light brown or lighter. You can bleach darker hair, but it will require some patience, and the damage will inevitably be greater. You will also need go through the bleaching process several times in order to see the results you want.
Professional colorists recommend spacing out bleachings by a few weeks. If you bleach too frequently, you could damage your hair to the extent that it will begin to fall out. If you can't wait, visit a salon.
1-2. Prep your hair.
Bleach can really strip your hair of its body and texture, so take a few proactive steps to keep your hair from turning dry and frizzy.
Use lots of conditioning masks for two weeks before you bleach. This will build up your hair's strength.
Skip a couple of hair washes a few days before the treatment. Freshly washed hair can cause the bleach to irritate the scalp.
1-3. Gather all the supplies you will need.
There's quite a list so you'll want to make sure you have everything before you start the bleaching process.
Most importantly, you'll need to purchase a powder bleach and a developer, preferably of the same brand as the bleach. L’Oréal Quick Blue is the cheapest and most trusted option. The developer is the liquid that reacts with the powder bleach to strip the color out of your hair. Developer comes in different volumes, such as 20, 30, 40, etc. The higher the volume, the greater the strength of the bleach. For example, you'd have to leave a developer of 20 on your hair for quite a while to cause significant damage, whereas a 40 will burn your hair pretty fast. On the other hand, a 40-strength developer will also lift the color without turning your hair bright orange or needing to repeat the process multiple times. If you’re nervous, use a 30-volume developer; it’s better to not have the exact color you want than to fry your hair. off.
You'll also need to get a toner and deep conditioner, as well as instruments, including a plastic mixing bowl (don't use metal!), a plastic spatula, a plastic rat-tail end brush, and gloves.
All of these items are readily available at beauty supply stores like Sally or Ricky's. It should cost you anywhere between $40-$50 and you should be able to get a few bleaching jobs out of it.
Be sure to also grab some old towels and old clothes that you don't mind getting ruined with bleach.
1-4. Ask a friend to help you out.
You'll need assistance getting those hard-to-reach areas, unless you are insanely flexible. Very few people can bleach all of their own hair themselves.
Don't take any chances doing it on your own until you've done it several times and feel confident in your ability.
1-5. Get yourself and your assistant ready.
Put on the old clothes you've located. Put a towel around your neck. Put gloves on.
1-6. Clear off a space on a table.
You might want to lay a tablecloth or rag down on the table. Lay out all of your materials so that you have everything you need when you begin to mix the solutions.
1-7. Combine the bleach and the developer.
Follow the instructions on whatever brand of both items you have purchased. Quick Blue, for example, calls for 1 scoop of bleach powder to 1.5-2oz developer.
If you want to make sure you have enough for all of your hair, double the mixing amounts.
Pour the developer in the mixing bowl first since you’ll need to measure it using the graduated lines on the bowl, which can be challenging if there’s already powder in there. Instead, add the powder to the developer.
1-8. Stir up the mixture with the plastic spatula.
It should reach a mousse-like texture.
1-9. Get ready to bleach!
If you have a friend with you, get them to follow the next few steps. If you feel confident that you can apply the bleach yourself, then go for it.
2. Applying the Bleach to Your Hair
2-1. Use the pointy-end of the brush to section off hair.
Then, use the brush end to apply the mixture. Sections should be very thin to ensure even application – think of how this looks at the salon when they do this with aluminum foil.
Make a small part in the hair, spread the bleach on it in both directions, and then create another part directly behind the one you just made. You'll probably need to lift the hair up to do this.
Think of it like the pages of a book. You are turning the page and the two already bleached 'pages' will touch and you will move on to the next fresh "untouched" section.
If you are doing more than an inch of roots, the hair closest to your scalp will bleach quicker and become a few shades lighter than the rest because bleach is activated by heat. So, if you're bleaching more than just your roots, apply the bleach everywhere the roots for the first 20 minutes and then go back.
2-2. Start at the crown of the head.
Work down through the sides, front, and back. Do the same thing on each section, bleach both sides.
2-3. Go back over and apply bleach to any missed spots as the hair begins to lighten.
"Lift" is the hair professional word for "lighten." This is when you should be adding bleach to the roots if you haven't touched them yet. Blend into where you already applied. This also lets you see parts that aren't lifting as quickly or spots that you missed. You can thus fix any mistakes as you go.
2-4. Wait.
Once the bleach has been sufficiently applied, you will need to wait around 30-45 minutes while it does its magic. Your head will be very itchy and should feel hot because the chemical reaction produces heat.
However, if you are in pain or feel too much of a burning sensation, move to the next step. It's better that you get it done professionally or fixed up in a salon than burn your scalp.
You could also use a foil-lined cap or heat to speed things up, but this isn't recommended until you've become more experienced at bleaching and know how your head and hair react to the process.
2-5. Check hair periodically.
You can see as it lightens and gets to the level you want.
The hair will remain yellow. Focus instead on the lightness, not on the color, since you'll be toning it shortly. That said, yellow is what you're looking for, not orange.
If your natural colour doesn’t lift enough after 45 minutes or so and is still an orange color, wash it out, deep condition, and either go to a salon and get it fixed OR deep condition for a few days and then try again. Do not try to leave the bleach on for longer and do not try to repeat the process immediately after a failed attempt; this will seriously damage your hair.
2-6. Rinse your hair in a cool shower.
Rinse the bleach out and wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Then condition, rinse, and towel-dry your hair.
2-7. Treat with toner.
Your hair will probably be quite light now, but very yellow-y. Use the toner to get the color you want. This is the most important step.
Put on another pair of gloves, and slather the toner solution over your hair, but not on the roots quite yet.
Once applied, comb the toner through to the roots and ends with a wide-tooth comb. This too should turn into a mousse-like texture.
Follow any instructions that may be on your toner.
2-8. Wait for 20-30 minutes.
Keep checking the color. Rinse again and then deep condition again.
2-9. Enjoy your new hair color!
Be sure to do some upkeep and maintenance.
Use a mask or deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep hair healthy.
Use a shampoo specifically for blondes and condition frequently.
Re-tone (without bleaching) if you find the color is going yellowy after a week or two,
If you missed any spots, wait a couple of days and make up a little batch of bleach to touch up the problem spots, You should only leave the bleach on for 15 minutes or so. Then, rinse, condition, and tone all over again.
Tips
To dye hair is to cover the existing color with a darker shade, but to bleach hair is to literally strip away all of the pigmentation.[14]

How to Bleach Your Teeth
|
1. Exploring Whitening Options
1-1. Bleach your teeth with baking soda.
If this stuff can be found in toothpaste, it's got to work. Turns out there are free radicals in baking soda that can penetrate through your enamel, turning stains clear. Just dip your toothbrush in the stuff and scrub away for a couple of minutes, just like you're brushing your teeth.
There has been some uproar about just how safe this is, for the record. While it is effective, some say that it damages the enamel of your teeth, weakening it or destroying it entirely, especially if you use the back and forth brushing method using a toothbrush with hard bristles. To be safe, you may not want to rely on this option in the long-term. Using this option two times a week is more than enough.
1-2. Bleach your teeth with strawberries.
This delicious fruit contains malic acid, an agent that can tear through stains. Crush up a berry in your baking soda paste, spread it on your teeth, and leave for five minutes. Brush it off and you're good to go! You can sometimes see a brighter tooth surface right away.
Citric acid in strawberries can wear away your enamel.
If you're in a hard spot, just rub the fruit on your teeth (cut up to get at the juices, of course) and wash off with a glass of water.
1-3. Experiment with coconut oil or apple cider vinegar.
Though it's up for debate, some swear that these two are natural teeth-whiteners, too. Just use them as a mouthwash or rub them onto your teeth and let sit for 10 minutes or so. Brush your teeth afterward, rinse out, and voila!
Vinegar contains acid which can wear away your enamel.
However, these methods shouldn't solely be relied on. It may take a month or two before you notice any results.
1-4. Buy a teeth-whitening kit.
As if it could get any easier, right? Your local big box store or pharmacy probably carries a few options when it comes to teeth-whitening kits. Some are rather expensive and some aren't -- but all will warrant results (it's just a matter of time). If you can spring for it, do so.
Check for “hydrogen peroxide” in the ingredients. This is helpful for whitening your teeth. A 6% concentration is more than enough.
1-5. Get a kit from your dentist.
He has access to super powerful gels and trays that you won't find at your local pharmacy. And if he doesn't, for some reason, have any available, he probably knows someone who does. It doesn't hurt to ask!
Trays and gels are super powerful, but the main drawback is that it may not fit your mouth. If your jaw is a little, say, unique, you may find these difficult to work with.
Your dentist can provide custom trays for you that will fit snugly over your teeth and provide a better result.
1-6. Get your teeth professionally bleached.
Several excellent technologies have emerged for bleaching and whitening the teeth. Although some of these procedures must be performed in the dentist's office, a few can be done at home. Ask your dentist what he or she recommends. The latest procedure is laser whitening.
This is perhaps the quickest method, and definitely the most expensive.
In case of intrinsic stains, veneers or lumineers can also be used (both of these are cosmetic procedures).
2. Taking Daily Precautions
2-1. Stick to your brushing and flossing regimen.
The best way to prevent dental problems and staining is still brushing and flossing, hands down. Be sure to brush before bed and when you get up, but after meals is essential, too. Food left on your teeth can lead to stains -- when it immediately is brushed off, stains can't form.
Aim for brushing a full 2 minutes each time. And brush your tongue and gums, too!
2-2. Don't forget about whitening gum and mouthwash.
Though brushing and flossing are more imperative than using mouthwash and gum, the more precaution you take against stains, the whiter your teeth will be (and stay). In between hygiene sessions, just pop in a piece of whitening gum or take a quick swish of whitening mouthwash. It's good for your health, too!
Gum and mouthwashes help to keep your teeth white and prevent staining while also fighting against bacteria and cavities.
These won't have a great effect on their own, but can make a bit of difference when combined with a good brushing and flossing regimen. Think of them as the icing on the cake.
2-3. Avoid all forms of tobacco.
That includes cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and snuff. All of them are bad for you and your teeth. It's tempting to think that chewing tobacco is better for you (and your teeth) than smoking, but it's not. Chewing tobacco and snuff have at least 28 chemicals that lead to oral cancer and are much more addictive than nicotine because they are directly absorbed through the oral mucosa. You're only good bet is to stay away from them all.
2-4. Cut down on your intake of coffee and tea.
If you can't start your morning without a cup, try drinking it through a straw, so it doesn't stain your teeth. It's better to cut these out entirely, so if you can muster it, do so.
And no, cream or milk won't make your coffee stain less. The enamel-destroying powers are still there. So unless that cream takes up most of your cup (eliminating room for coffee), that lighter color won't do you much good.
Cut back on soft drinks as well because they can also erode your enamel.
2-5. Disguise your cavities.
Nowadays tooth-colored fillings are all the rage. However, you may have a dark, highly visible amalgam filling if a natural color wasn't available. If you have a little money lying around, consider having it replaced with a tooth-colored plastic composite, which makes the tooth look intact even when you look closely at it.
A rotten tooth can also be covered up by a porcelain crown. Talk to your doctor about your options.
2-6. Go to the dentist more often than you need.
Just going in for a teeth cleaning will be sure to keep your smile white and sparkly. And, what's more, your dentist will catch any problems sooner rather than later, so it's a win-win.
2-7. Wear blue tints.
Turns out blue tints (on your body or on your lips) make ivories look whiter. So opt for that navy turtleneck or that berry lip gloss instead of the bright red sweater and matching lipstick. Sure, the effect goes away when you take it off, but it's a quick fix!
Don't go for matte lipsticks or glosses, though, even if they are blue-tinted. They'll make your teeth look dingy or less pearly. Stick to glosses for sheen and shine.

How to Bleach a Denim Jacket
|
1. Bleaching Your Jacket by Hand
1-1. Fill a container with warm water.
The container should be large enough to fully submerge the jacket you plan to bleach (a standard household bucket should be sufficient).
1-2. Add bleach to the water.
Roughly, for every 4.5 liters (1.2 US gal) of water 1 cup of bleach should be added. If unsure, too little bleach is preferable to too much, as you don't want it eating through the fabric of your jacket. Mix the liquid well, and remember to always wear gloves when handling bleach.
Low-splash bleach is recommended for tidiness.
1-3. Immerse the jacket in the mixture.
Make sure it is completely covered, as this will prevent a patchy, light and dark result. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes before checking the extent of the fade.
If further fading is required, leave for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat the process as necessary.
Be sure to smooth out all folds, such as the collar. If bleach does not reach the entire surface of the jacket the result will be uneven.
If a 'tie dye' look is desired, elastic bands can be used to protect certain areas from bleaching.
If your jacket's thread colour is beginning to bleed into the fabric, this is a sign that it has been soaking for too long.
1-4. Rinse your jacket with warm water.
When satisfied with the new lighter shade, rinse the jacket thoroughly to make sure all bleach residue is removed.
If using the same container to rinse and clean your jacket, make sure to remove all traces of bleach from it beforehand.
1-5. Machine-wash the jacket as usual.
Run a routine wash, washing your jacket alone, and with cold water and detergent. Your fashionably faded jacket is now ready to be worn.
When hanging to dry, note that sunlight will naturally fade denim. If the current shade is to your liking, avoid sun-drying.
2. Bleaching Your Jacket with a Washing Machine
2-1. Fill your washing machine with hot water.
You can do this by beginning a wash cycle, allowing the water level to rise. Pause your machine when it is sufficiently full, or when it enters its 'wash' phase.
2-2. Pour in 1 cup of bleach.
Use the bleaching dispenser on your machine if it has one, otherwise add the bleach as you would in any other container. Mix it with the water by resuming the wash cycle. Let the water churn for 5 minutes before pausing again.
2-3. Add your jacket to the machine.
Place your jacket so that all parts are below the water line and leave it to soak for up to an hour. Finally, let the wash cycle run to completion, and run a second wash to ensure all traces of bleach are gone. Once dry, see if the new tone suits you by trying your jacket on.
You may wish to run an extra "clean-out" cycle after extracting your jacket. While most washing machines drain chemicals well, this will protect your next laundry load from any lurking bleach.
Use a machine dryer if happy with the outcome, or hang in the sun to encourage extra fading.
Tips
If you are having trouble producing an even fade by hand, try bleaching with a machine. Machine bleaching is more likely to reach the entire surface of your jacket.
You might be looking to bleach your jacket with a particular pattern. For this, a bleach pen will better suit your needs.
Warnings
Do not use bleach on a denim jacket mixed with elastic. Bleach will likely ruin any elastic, and has even been known to turn spandex yellow.[7]

How to Bleach a Shirt
|
1. Brightening a Shirt
1-1. Gather the laundry that needs to be washed and bleached, including your shirt.
Check the shirt's label for bleaching instructions, looking carefully for “non-chlorine bleach only.”
When an shirt requires non-chlorine bleach, you must use oxygen bleach or hydrogen peroxide to whiten it.
Note if the shirt has a label indicating that it should not be bleached. In this case, you should choose a different shirt that can be bleached.
1-2. Set your washer to the correct wash cycle and temperature and turn it on.
Depending on the clothing you are washing, you want to be sure to choose the correct settings so as not to shrink or otherwise ruin the clothing.
1-3. Add laundry detergent to the water.
As your washer fills with water, add the appropriate amount of detergent for the size of the load. The water will begin to bubble when the detergent is added.
1-4. Measure ½ cup of bleach and either pour it directly into the bubbly water or into the bleach dispenser on your washer.
Be sure to do this before you add the clothes, because pouring it in after you add the clothes could cause bleach spots in clothing that is not white.
It is recommended that the wash cycle run for five minutes before adding bleach for best results.
Use a dedicated measuring cup if your washer does not have a bleach dispenser. Do not use this measuring cup for any other purpose.
1-5. Put your shirt and other laundry in the wash and close the washer lid.
It is now time to let the washer run its cycle with the clothing in it, including your shirt.
1-6. Pull your shirt from the washer at the end of the cycle and examine it.
If the shirt is whitened or brightened to your satisfaction, dry it according to the label (i.e. tumble dry, hang dry, et cetera). If the shirt is not yet as white or bright as you would like it to be, then it is recommended that you put it through another cycle with bleach.
2. Bleaching Out Color
2-1. Collect the materials you need for this process.
Aside from the appropriate clothing, there are only a few other materials that you need.
The shirt you want to bleach
Two buckets
Bleach
Hydrogen peroxide or bleach-neutralizing solution
A long wooden spoon
Rubber gloves
2-2. Dress in old clothes and put on the rubber gloves.
As you are working with bleach, it will ruin the clothing you are wearing if an accident happens. Rubber gloves are also necessary to protect the bleach from directly touching your skin.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, if possible, to take extra steps to prevent the bleach from touching your skin.
2-3. Fill two buckets with solutions.
Set them to the side when you are done, and be sure to leave your sink clear for rinsing the shirt later. Make enough of each solution so that the shirt can be submerged in them.
One bucket needs to be filled with one part bleach to five parts cold water.
The other bucket needs to be filled with one part hydrogen peroxide to one part water. You can also mix a bleach-neutralizing solution according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2-4. Put the shirt into the bucket containing the bleach solution.
Fully submerge the shirt in the solution, and stir it around using a long wooden spoon that is no longer used for cooking.
Gently swirl the shirt around in the solution to assist it in becoming fully saturated.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Bleach-a-Shirt-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Bleach-a-Shirt-Step-10Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Bleach-a-Shirt-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\/aid793689-v4-728px-Bleach-a-Shirt-Step-10Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":485,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
Take care not to splash the bleach solution while you do this.
2-5. Allow the shirt to soak for anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour.
The soak time will vary depending on how much color you want to bleach out of the shirt and how strong the solution is.
Bleaching the shirt all the way to white will take close to an hour or longer, especially if the shirt is originally a dark color.
You can pull the shirt from the bleach solution before it reaches white if you find that you like a lighter shade that it has become in the bleaching process.
2-6. Remove the shirt from the bleach solution and squeeze excess solution out of it over the bucket.
Save this step until you are pleased with the color of the shirt. If it is not yet completely white or not to a color that you like, then keep it in the bleach solution until it is satisfactory.
2-7. Rinse the shirt under cold water in the sink.
Thoroughly rinse all areas of the shirt, being sure to lift any folds or creases and running cold water over those areas.
2-8. Submerge the shirt in the bucket of hydrogen peroxide or bleach-neutralizing solution.
Ensure that the entire shirt has been submerged into the solution so that it is saturated.
2-9. Leave the shirt to soak for 15 minutes.
This is an important step because this neutralizes the bleach, meaning that it makes it so that the bleach can no longer damage the fibers of the fabric.
2-10. Rinse the shirt again under cold water in the sink.
Lift all folds and creases again to make sure you rinse out all of the bleach-neutralizing solution.
2-11. Launder the shirt as usual, either by hand or in the washing machine.
After laundering the shirt, dry it according to the instructions on the label. It should be ready to wear after this last step.
3. Making a Bleach Spray Shirt
3-1. Gather the materials you need for the project.
This is a quick and easy DIY project that only requires a few materials.
A shirt
Bleach
A stencil (pre-made or homemade)
Spray adhesive
Spray bottle
A paper towel
3-2. Lay your shirt flat on a table or the floor.
Make sure that it is clean and without wrinkles so that the bleach spraying comes out correctly.
It is recommended to lay down a tarp, an old bed sheet, or some other protector if you are working on carpet.
3-3. Slide a piece of cardboard inside the shirt to protect the back from being bleached.
Make sure that the piece of cardboard that you choose is large enough to cover the width and height of the shirt.
The cardboard should be visible in the neck of the shirt and should extend all the way to the bottom hem of the shirt. It should also cover as much of the width of the shirt as possible.
Again flatten the shirt to remove wrinkles once you have slid the cardboard inside.
3-4. Attach your stencil to the shirt.
There are a couple of different ways to do this, depending on the type of stencil you are using.
If it is a pre-made stencil, you can attach it by lightly spraying spray adhesive onto the back of it. Then, set it on the shirt and firmly press down around all of the edges.
If you make your own stencil, you want to be sure to cut it out of adhesive vinyl. Then, again, you can set it on the shirt and press down firmly.
Transfer your stencil to transfer paper if it has loose pieces (such as eyes, dots, et cetera) by pressing the transfer paper on top of your stencil. Then, carefully remove the stencil from the paper backing. After that, press the stencil on your shirt, firmly press down around the edges, and gently peel up the transfer paper.
3-5. Pour ¼ cup of bleach into a spray bottle.
Then, set the spray bottle to a super fine mist. You do not want it on a larger mist or spray because it will make a mess and reach areas of the shirt that you do not want bleached.
Diluting the bleach is not necessary.
Examine how big your mist is by testing the spray on a spare piece of cardboard. Spray the cardboard, with the spray bottle held about 6-8 inches away, and determine if the mist is appropriate.
3-6. Spray a light coat of bleach onto your shirt all around the stencil.
Remember you are only trying to mist the shirt and not soak it, so just a few sprays all around the area of the stencil will suffice.
Hold the spray bottle about 6-8 inches away from the shirt.
3-7. Blot the area with a paper towel.
If you do have any large drops of bleach, quickly blot the whole sprayed area with a paper towel to clean them up to avoid large bleach spots.
3-8. Give the bleach up to two minutes to pull out the color.
During this time, the sprayed areas may change to another color before lightening to a lighter shade of the shirt's color. This is just the bleach working through pulling out the color.
Do not spray more bleach until you are sure that the color is done changing.
3-9. Repeat lightly spraying the shirt, blotting up excess bleach, and waiting if the sprayed areas do not lighten enough for your liking.
Be sure to give the two minutes of wait time before doing this.
Generally speaking, you do not want to completely bleach the area to white. You are just aiming for a lighter shade of the shirt's color (e.g. for a red shirt, the spots will fade to pink).
3-10. Peel up the stencil once the shirt is exactly how you want it to be.
Make sure to pick up any loose pieces of your stencil, as well.
3-11. Hang the shirt to dry and check for crystallized bleach.
The bleach will crystallize on the shirt if you were a little too heavy with the bleach spray. You will notice it as a fine powder on the shirt.
Put the shirt through a cycle in the dryer for about 30 minutes if you notice crystallized bleach. Do not wash it, as the water will cause the bleach to reactivate and further bleach your shirt.
3-12. Rinse the shirt in cold water once it is completely dry and free of crystallized bleach.
Then, you can hang it to dry. Finally, you will be able launder the shirt as usual without fear of ruining your design.
4. Bleaching a Design Into a Shirt
4-1. Bring all necessary materials to your work area.
A few items are required for safely bleaching designs into cotton t-shirts.
A shirt in a dark or bright color
Bleach
Rags or cardboard
An object to block the bleach, such as duct tape or adhesive vinyl
Rubber gloves
4-2. Lay the shirt flat on the floor or another surface.
Protect the surface with a tarp, old bed sheet, or other protector, if necessary.
4-3. Slide the rags or cardboard into the shirt to protect the back from being bleached.
Again smooth wrinkles out of the shirt to make it flat again after doing this.
Make sure that the rags or cardboard cover the inside of the shirt all the way up to the neck and all the way down to the bottom hem of the shirt. They should also cover the shirt's width.
4-4. Choose the design that you want to bleach into the shirt.
You can create a design by cutting shapes or a stencil out of the adhesive vinyl, or you can create a pattern with duct tape. Here are some ideas:
A name or title
A geometric shape
A piece of fruit, vegetable, or other food item
A criss-cross pattern
A zig-zag pattern
4-5. Apply the design to the shirt.
Locate where on the shirt you want the design to sit (i.e. the middle, the top left, et cetera).
Gently lay the design on the shirt where you want it. Press firmly down on all of the edges to secure the duct tape or adhesive vinyl.
Consider transferring your stencil, if that is what you used, to transfer paper if it has loose pieces (such as eyes, dots, et cetera) by pressing the transfer paper on top of your stencil. Then, carefully remove the stencil from the paper backing. After that, press the stencil on your shirt, firmly press down around the edges, and gently peel up the transfer paper.
4-6. Pour bleach into a glass container or measuring cup.
Pour as much as you think you will need. You can add more later, if you find that you need to do so.
4-7. Dip a folded-up rag or sponge into the bleach.
Each will create a slightly different look, depending on what you want the design to look like.
The rag will make clean edges around the design, while the sponge will make fuzzy edges.
Be sure to put on your rubber gloves before starting to handle the bleach for this step.
4-8. Blot the shirt all around the design.
Use the rag or sponge to gently blot the bleach all around the design, so that the areas behind the design stay colored and everything else becomes bleached.
If bleach bleeds into the area behind the design, you can touch it up later with a fabric-marker in the correct color.
4-9. Wait for the bleach to take effect.
It may take up to a few minutes for the bleach to pull out all of the color.
If the fading is not to your liking, you can blot around the design with bleach again to make it even lighter. Keep in mind that it will take longer to bleach the shirt lighter, so be sure you are prepared with enough time.
4-10. Peel the stencil or design off of the shirt.
When the design has been bleached to your satisfaction, gently peel up the design from the shirt.
Drying your rubber gloves on old clothing or fabric before touching the shirt again will be helpful to avoid accidental bleach spots from any bleach that got on your gloves.
4-11. Remove the rags or cardboard and rinse the shirt in cold water.
Carefully pull out the rags or cardboard from in between the layers of the shirt. Immediately move the shirt to a sink to rinse it under cold water.
Rinsing the shirt stops the bleaching process.
4-12. Dry the shirt accordingly.
You can either put it in the dryer or hang it to dry, depending your preferences or the shirt's instructions.
You can launder it as usual after this, if you would like.
The shirt will now be ready to wear.
Tips
Have patience while bleaching, because it might take some time to bleach to all white or to a lighter shade of the original color that you like.
Sometimes threading on cotton shirts is done with polyester thread, which will not bleach as cotton does. You can pick out the threading and sew the hems again with white thread (or another color) to match the shirt.
Warnings
Always ventilate your home when doing bleach projects, like in Methods 2-4 above. Open windows and turn on a fan to air out the fumes.
Handle bleach carefully by protective gear and taking care not to splash or spill it.
Do not combine bleach with vinegar, ammonia, or other household chemicals, as it will produce harmful fumes.[17]

Allow the shirt to soak for anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour.\\nThe soak time will vary depending on how much color you want to bleach out of the shirt and how strong the solution is. \\nBleaching the shirt all the way to white will take close to an hour or longer, especially if the shirt is originally a dark color.\\nYou can pull the shirt from the bleach solution before it reaches white if you find that you like a lighter shade that it has become in the bleaching process.\\n2-6. Remove the shirt from the bleach solution and squeeze excess solution out of it over the bucket.\\nSave this step until you are pleased with the color of the shirt. If it is not yet completely white or not to a color that you like, then keep it in the bleach solution until it is satisfactory.\\n2-7. Rinse the shirt under cold water in the sink.\\nThoroughly rinse all areas of the shirt, being sure to lift any folds or creases and running cold water over those areas.\\n2-8. Submerge the shirt in the bucket of hydrogen peroxide or bleach-neutralizing solution.\\nEnsure that the entire shirt has been submerged into the solution so that it is saturated.\\n2-9. Leave the shirt to soak for 15 minutes.\\nThis is an important step because this neutralizes the bleach, meaning that it makes it so that the bleach can no longer damage the fibers of the fabric.\\n2-10. Rinse the shirt again under cold water in the sink.\\nLift all folds and creases again to make sure you rinse out all of the bleach-neutralizing solution.\\n2-11. Launder the shirt as usual, either by hand or in the washing machine.\\nAfter laundering the shirt, dry it according to the instructions on the label. It should be ready to wear after this last step.\\n3. Making a Bleach Spray Shirt\\n3-1. Gather the materials you need for the project.\\nThis is a quick and easy DIY project that only requires a few materials.\\nA shirt\\nBleach\\nA stencil (pre-made or homemade)\\nSpray adhesive\\nSpray bottle\\nA paper towel\\n3-2. Lay your shirt flat on a table or the floor.\\nMake sure that it is clean and without wrinkles so that the bleach spraying comes out correctly.\\nIt is recommended to lay down a tarp, an old bed sheet, or some other protector if you are working on carpet.\\n3-3. Slide a piece of cardboard inside the shirt to protect the back from being bleached.\\nMake sure that the piece of cardboard that you choose is large enough to cover the width and height of the shirt.\\nThe cardboard should be visible in the neck of the shirt and should extend all the way to the bottom hem of the shirt. It should also cover as much of the width of the shirt as possible.\\nAgain flatten the shirt to remove wrinkles once you have slid the cardboard inside.\\n3-4. Attach your stencil to the shirt.\\nThere are a couple of different ways to do this, depending on the type of stencil you are using.\\nIf it is a pre-made stencil, you can attach it by lightly spraying spray adhesive onto the back of it. Then, set it on the shirt and firmly press down around all of the edges.\\nIf you make your own stencil, you want to be sure to cut it out of adhesive vinyl. Then, again, you can set it on the shirt and press down firmly.\\nTransfer your stencil to transfer paper if it has loose pieces (such as eyes, dots, et cetera) by pressing the transfer paper on top of your stencil. Then, carefully remove the stencil from the paper backing. After that, press the stencil on your shirt, firmly press down around the edges, and gently peel up the transfer paper.\\n3-5. Pour ¼ cup of bleach into a spray bottle.\\nThen, set the spray bottle to a super fine mist. You do not want it on a larger mist or spray because it will make a mess and reach areas of the shirt that you do not want bleached.\\nDiluting the bleach is not necessary.\\nExamine how big your mist is by testing the spray on a spare piece of cardboard. Spray the cardboard, with the spray bottle held about 6-8 inches away, and determine if the mist is appropriate.\\n3-6. Spray a light coat of bleach onto your shirt all around the stencil.\\nRemember you are only trying to mist the shirt and not soak it, so just a few sprays all around the area of the stencil will suffice.\\nHold the spray bottle about 6-8 inches away from the shirt.\\n3-7. Blot the area with a paper towel.\\nIf you do have any large drops of bleach, quickly blot the whole sprayed area with a paper towel to clean them up to avoid large bleach spots.\\n3-8. Give the bleach up to two minutes to pull out the color.\\nDuring this time, the sprayed areas may change to another color before lightening to a lighter shade of the shirt's color. This is just the bleach working through pulling out the color.\\nDo not spray more bleach until you are sure that the color is done changing.\\n3-9. Repeat lightly spraying the shirt, blotting up excess bleach, and waiting if the sprayed areas do not lighten enough for your liking.\\nBe sure to give the two minutes of wait time before doing this.\\nGenerally speaking, you do not want to completely bleach the area to white. You are just aiming for a lighter shade of the shirt's color (e.g. for a red shirt, the spots will fade to pink).\\n3-10. Peel up the stencil once the shirt is exactly how you want it to be.\\nMake sure to pick up any loose pieces of your stencil, as well.\\n3-11. Hang the shirt to dry and check for crystallized bleach.\\nThe bleach will crystallize on the shirt if you were a little too heavy with the bleach spray. You will notice it as a fine powder on the shirt.\\nPut the shirt through a cycle in the dryer for about 30 minutes if you notice crystallized bleach. Do not wash it, as the water will cause the bleach to reactivate and further bleach your shirt.\\n3-12. Rinse the shirt in cold water once it is completely dry and free of crystallized bleach.\\nThen, you can hang it to dry. Finally, you will be able launder the shirt as usual without fear of ruining your design.\\n4. Bleaching a Design Into a Shirt\\n4-1. Bring all necessary materials to your work area.\\nA few items are required for safely bleaching designs into cotton t-shirts.\\nA shirt in a dark or bright color\\nBleach\\nRags or cardboard\\nAn object to block the bleach, such as duct tape or adhesive vinyl\\nRubber gloves\\n4-2. Lay the shirt flat on the floor or another surface.\\nProtect the surface with a tarp, old bed sheet, or other protector, if necessary.\\n4-3. Slide the rags or cardboard into the shirt to protect the back from being bleached.\\nAgain smooth wrinkles out of the shirt to make it flat again after doing this.\\nMake sure that the rags or cardboard cover the inside of the shirt all the way up to the neck and all the way down to the bottom hem of the shirt. They should also cover the shirt's width.\\n4-4. Choose the design that you want to bleach into the shirt.\\nYou can create a design by cutting shapes or a stencil out of the adhesive vinyl, or you can create a pattern with duct tape. Here are some ideas:\\nA name or title\\nA geometric shape\\nA piece of fruit, vegetable, or other food item\\nA criss-cross pattern\\nA zig-zag pattern\\n4-5. Apply the design to the shirt.\\nLocate where on the shirt you want the design to sit (i.e. the middle, the top left, et cetera).\\nGently lay the design on the shirt where you want it. Press firmly down on all of the edges to secure the duct tape or adhesive vinyl.\\nConsider transferring your stencil, if that is what you used, to transfer paper if it has loose pieces (such as eyes, dots, et cetera) by pressing the transfer paper on top of your stencil. Then, carefully remove the stencil from the paper backing. After that, press the stencil on your shirt, firmly press down around the edges, and gently peel up the transfer paper.\\n4-6. Pour bleach into a glass container or measuring cup.\\nPour as much as you think you will need. You can add more later, if you find that you need to do so.\\n4-7. Dip a folded-up rag or sponge into the bleach.\\nEach will create a slightly different look, depending on what you want the design to look like.\\nThe rag will make clean edges around the design, while the sponge will make fuzzy edges.\\nBe sure to put on your rubber gloves before starting to handle the bleach for this step.\\n4-8. Blot the shirt all around the design.\\nUse the rag or sponge to gently blot the bleach all around the design, so that the areas behind the design stay colored and everything else becomes bleached.\\nIf bleach bleeds into the area behind the design, you can touch it up later with a fabric-marker in the correct color.\\n4-9. Wait for the bleach to take effect.\\nIt may take up to a few minutes for the bleach to pull out all of the color.\\nIf the fading is not to your liking, you can blot around the design with bleach again to make it even lighter. Keep in mind that it will take longer to bleach the shirt lighter, so be sure you are prepared with enough time.\\n4-10. Peel the stencil or design off of the shirt.\\nWhen the design has been bleached to your satisfaction, gently peel up the design from the shirt.\\nDrying your rubber gloves on old clothing or fabric before touching the shirt again will be helpful to avoid accidental bleach spots from any bleach that got on your gloves.\\n4-11. Remove the rags or cardboard and rinse the shirt in cold water.\\nCarefully pull out the rags or cardboard from in between the layers of the shirt. Immediately move the shirt to a sink to rinse it under cold water.\\nRinsing the shirt stops the bleaching process.\\n4-12. Dry the shirt accordingly.\\nYou can either put it in the dryer or hang it to dry, depending your preferences or the shirt's instructions.\\nYou can launder it as usual after this, if you would like.\\nThe shirt will now be ready to wear.\\nTips\\nHave patience while bleaching, because it might take some time to bleach to all white or to a lighter shade of the original color that you like.\\nSometimes threading on cotton shirts is done with polyester thread, which will not bleach as cotton does. You can pick out the threading and sew the hems again with white thread (or another color) to match the shirt.\\nWarnings\\nAlways ventilate your home when doing bleach projects, like in Methods 2-4 above. Open windows and turn on a fan to air out the fumes.\\nHandle bleach carefully by protective gear and taking care not to splash or spill it.\\nDo not combine bleach with vinegar, ammonia, or other household chemicals, as it will produce harmful fumes.[17]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Bleach is common household cleaning agent that can be used in a variety of different ways.

How to Bleach a Weave
|
1. Mixing the Bleach
1-1. Purchase a bleach powder packet and developer from the store.
For the best results, visit a salon or beauty store to get high quality bleaching products. Choose a 30- to 40-volume developer, which is what you will mix in with the bleach powder. The higher the volume of the developer, the higher its lifting power.
If you are looking to just lightly bleach your hair, you could use a 20-volume developer.
You can also purchase a bleach kit which comes with all the materials you will need: bleach powder, developer, applicator brush, bowl, and gloves.
1-2. Put on gloves and an old T-shirt before mixing the bleach.
Always wear latex or rubber gloves when you work with bleach. Take a few minutes to change into an old shirt and pants that you won’t mind getting bleach on in case you spill or splatter any of the bleaching liquid as you work.
If you have long hair, you may want to tie it back, too, so it doesn’t accidentally fall into the bleach or onto your weave as your working with it.
1-3. Cover your workstation in foil before laying out your weave.
Make sure the piece of foil is large enough to contain the entire weave when it’s at its full length. Set up your workstation on a large countertop, a table, or even on the ground if you don’t have a large enough surface at home.
If you are bleaching multiple hair bundles, use a separate piece of foil per bundle.
1-4. Mix the powder bleach with the liquid developer.
Carefully open the powder packet and pour the contents into a plastic bowl. Then, pour in your developer. The rule for how much developer to use is a ratio of 1:2–1 part bleach powder to 2 parts developer. So if your bleach powder packet is 1 ounce (28 g), then add in 2 ounces (57 g) of developer.
If your powder comes with a scoop, simply use the scoop to measure out twice the amount of developer. If your powder doesn’t have a scoop, pour it into a measuring cup before putting it into the bowl so you know how much developer to add. Or, if you have a small scale, then you can use that to measure out the amount you need.
1-5. Add more powder or developer until you have the right consistency.
The bleaching liquid shouldn’t be too runny. When you dip the applicator brush into it, it should coat the brush and have the consistency of yogurt. If the bleaching liquid is too runny, add a little more powder. If it’s too clumpy, add more developer.
Make sure to thoroughly mix your bleaching liquid so there are no clumps of powder left in it.
2. Applying the Bleach
2-1. Brush the bleach onto your weave from the top to the bottom.
Dip your applicator brush in the bleach so it has a thick coat on it. Start at the top of the weave and brush on the bleach solution in long, even strokes. Continue applying the bleach until it appears that all the hair has been covered from top to bottom.
For an ombre look, only apply the bleach to the bottom half or quarter of the weave.
2-2. Flip the weave over and coat the other side with bleach.
Be careful when you flip your weave to not let the bleached hair touch your skin. Because the bleaching liquid makes the hair clump together, just do you best to flip it over and spread it back out with your fingers as you apply more bleach to thoroughly coat the weave.
If you need to, mix together more bleach and developer to ensure you can completely cover the weave.
2-3. Fold the foil over the weave and leave it alone for 20 minutes.
Still wearing your gloves, simply fold the piece of foil in half so that the weave is completely contained inside of it. This will help speed up the bleaching process.
If you want to speed up the bleaching process even more, take a hot flat iron and run it over the foil 2-3 times. Peel back a corner of the foil to check the color and stop once it’s where you want it to be.
2-4. Check the color of your weave after 20 minutes.
If the color isn’t as light as you want it to be, apply more bleach and let it sit for another 10 minutes. As a rule, you don’t want to let your weave sit in bleach for longer than 50-60 minutes. Bleach can damage a weave the same as natural hair.
Similarly, if you’re looking to just slightly lighten your weave, try leaving the bleach on for just 10 minutes at a time.
3. Rinsing and Toning
3-1. Rinse the bleach product out of your weave.
While wearing your gloves, take your bleached weave to the sink and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Keep rinsing it until all the visible bleaching liquid is gone.
Make sure your sink is clean before you rinse your weave out. Have an old towel nearby in case you need to set your weave down at any point.
3-2. Wash your bleached weave with a neutralizing shampoo.
Using warm water, apply a neutralizing shampoo to your weave and lather it up. Rinse and repeat as many times as you need to to completely remove all the bleach residue from your weave.
Neutralizing shampoo stops the chemical reaction of the bleach from continuing.
Read the instructions on the shampoo carefully—a lot of them change color when there is bleach present so you know you can stop washing once the color is gone.
3-3. Apply a toner to eliminate brassy shades and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Liberally apply toner to your damp weave and let it sit either in the sink or on an old towel on the counter before rinsing it out with warm water. The toner helps the bleach stay white, rather than turning into a yellow or brassy tone.
You can buy toner or toner kits from the salon or from a drugstore for as little as $10.
4. Conditioning and Maintaining Your Weave
4-1. Use a leave-in conditioner to help heal the damage done by bleaching.
After rinsing out the toner, apply a dollop of leave-in conditioner over the entire weave. This will help it absorb the moisture from the conditioner and will repair some of the damage done by the harsh bleach.
You can also use the leave-in conditioner as part of your regular hair-washing routine to help promote a healthier looking weave.
4-2. Let the weave air dry thoroughly.
Rather than using heating products on it right away, let it air dry to reduce the damage than can be done by applying additional heat to it right after bleaching.
You can leave your weave on an old towel or sheet, or you could even use a pants hanger to clip the weave and hang it up until it dries. This will take about 1 day.
4-3. Use a special shampoo and conditioner to maintain the color.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that don’t have any ammonia in them and that are specifically for blonde or bleached hair. Purple shampoos can also help make your bleached weave look more vibrant.
After your weave has been sewn in, avoid taking hot showers and instead opt for warm or cool showers to help keep the color in your weave more even.
Another option is to wear a shower cap and skip getting your hair wet altogether. This is a good option if you don’t use many hair products because you will not have as much buildup in your weave.
Tips
Always wear gloves when applying bleach to your weave.
You can only bleach natural hair, so avoid purchasing a synthetic weave.

Choose a 30- to 40-volume developer, which is what you will mix in with the bleach powder. The higher the volume of the developer, the higher its lifting power.\\nIf you are looking to just lightly bleach your hair, you could use a 20-volume developer.\\nYou can also purchase a bleach kit which comes with all the materials you will need: bleach powder, developer, applicator brush, bowl, and gloves.\\n1-2. Put on gloves and an old T-shirt before mixing the bleach.\\nAlways wear latex or rubber gloves when you work with bleach. Take a few minutes to change into an old shirt and pants that you won’t mind getting bleach on in case you spill or splatter any of the bleaching liquid as you work.\\nIf you have long hair, you may want to tie it back, too, so it doesn’t accidentally fall into the bleach or onto your weave as your working with it.\\n1-3. Cover your workstation in foil before laying out your weave.\\nMake sure the piece of foil is large enough to contain the entire weave when it’s at its full length. Set up your workstation on a large countertop, a table, or even on the ground if you don’t have a large enough surface at home.\\nIf you are bleaching multiple hair bundles, use a separate piece of foil per bundle.\\n1-4. Mix the powder bleach with the liquid developer.\\nCarefully open the powder packet and pour the contents into a plastic bowl. Then, pour in your developer. The rule for how much developer to use is a ratio of 1:2–1 part bleach powder to 2 parts developer. So if your bleach powder packet is 1 ounce (28 g), then add in 2 ounces (57 g) of developer.\\nIf your powder comes with a scoop, simply use the scoop to measure out twice the amount of developer. If your powder doesn’t have a scoop, pour it into a measuring cup before putting it into the bowl so you know how much developer to add. Or, if you have a small scale, then you can use that to measure out the amount you need.\\n1-5. Add more powder or developer until you have the right consistency.\\nThe bleaching liquid shouldn’t be too runny. When you dip the applicator brush into it, it should coat the brush and have the consistency of yogurt. If the bleaching liquid is too runny, add a little more powder.

Flip the weave over and coat the other side with bleach.\\nBe careful when you flip your weave to not let the bleached hair touch your skin. Because the bleaching liquid makes the hair clump together, just do you best to flip it over and spread it back out with your fingers as you apply more bleach to thoroughly coat the weave.\\nIf you need to, mix together more bleach and developer to ensure you can completely cover the weave.\\n2-3. Fold the foil over the weave and leave it alone for 20 minutes.\\nStill wearing your gloves, simply fold the piece of foil in half so that the weave is completely contained inside of it.

How to Bleach the Back of Your Hair
|
1. Sectioning Your Hair
1-1. Brush your hair so it’s free of any knots or tangles.
Make sure your hair is fully dry before you start. Brush your hair with a hairbrush from the ends up to the roots until your hair is smooth.
If there are any knots or tangles in your hair, the bleach won’t cover it evenly.
1-2. Part your hair with a comb in vertical sections above your ears.
Part your hair from the top of your ear upwards on both sides so your hair is split into 3 large sections. You can use a small comb or the pointy end of a hair dye brush to be more precise.
1-3. Clip the front sections of your hair up to keep them out of the way.
Use large hair clips or a few hair ties to pin the front sections of your hair up and away from your face. This will keep you from mixing up your sections of hair as you work on them.
1-4. Pull a 0.5 in (1.3 cm) horizontal section out from the back of your hair.
Take this section from the very bottom of the back clump of your hair. Use a small comb or the pointed end of your hair dye brush to make this section more precise. Make sure it lays smooth and flat down your neck.
Smaller sections will make your bleach application more precise so you don’t miss any spots.
1-5. Pin up the rest of your hair with a clip.
To leave both of your hands free, use a large clip to put the rest of your hair up on top of your head. If you can work with one hand to apply your bleach, you can also just hold the hair on top of your head.
2. Applying the Bleach
2-1. Mix your bleach and developer together in a plastic bowl.
Read the instructions on the bleach powder and developer that you have and mix them together in the correct ratio. Make sure they form a creamy paste that doesn’t have any lumps.
Most bleach recipes call for a 1:1 ratio of developer and bleach powder, but you should double check just in case.
The level of developer you use depends on how dark your hair is and how light you want to go. 10 volume developer is the least harsh, 40 volume developer is the most harsh, and 20 and 30 volume developers are in between.
2-2. Set up 1 mirror in front of you and 1 mirror behind you.
Situate yourself in an area where you can place a standing or wall-mounted mirror behind you and one in front of you. Make sure you can see the back of your head in the mirror behind you.
Try positioning a standing mirror behind you and using your bathroom mirror as the one in front.
2-3. Put on gloves and protect your work surface.
Bleach is very strong and can irritate or dry out your skin. Protect your hands with rubber, latex, or nitrile gloves the entire time that you are dealing with bleach. Cover the area with an old towel or table cloth in case you drip any bleach, and put on an old shirt that you don’t mind getting bleach on.
You can find gloves at most home goods or beauty supply stores.
2-4. Wipe the bleach onto the first section of hair with a dye brush.
If you are bleaching the entire length of your hair, start at the ends and move up to the roots. If you are just touching up your roots, focus on that area and try not to get bleach on any already-dyed hair. Use a hair dye applicator brush for the most precision.
Your roots process faster than your ends do, so you should always save them until last.
The back of your hair is usually darker than the front because it doesn’t get as much sun. It’s important to bleach the back of your head first because it will most likely take longer to lighten.
Avoiding your already-dyed hair will damage your hair less since you won’t be bleaching it multiple times.
2-5. Swipe the bleach onto the roots of the next section.
Once the entire first section is done, take your dye brush and swipe some bleach onto the roots that you can see in the part of your hair that is clipped up, or the roots on top of the section that you just bleached. Make sure these roots get fully covered with bleach.
Doing this now will ensure that your roots get an even coverage so they won’t be splotchy.
2-6. Pull out another 0.5 in (1.3 cm) horizontal section from your hair.
Unclip the back of your hair and use the tip of your hair dye brush to pull out another section about as thick as the first one. Then, clip your remaining hair back up.
Keeping your hair clipped up may seem like a pain, but it leaves each section free and clear so you don’t have to worry about stray strands of hair.
2-7. Brush the bleach onto the new section.
Use the same technique of either saving the roots for last or avoiding your already-dyed hair with your hair dye applicator brush. Then, brush some bleach onto the roots of your clipped up hair.
2-8. Keep pulling out new sections until the back of your head is done.
Depending on how thick your hair is, this could take between 15 and 30 minutes. Work slowly to make sure you really saturate every piece of your hair with bleach.
If you go too quickly, you could end up with patches of hair that you missed, which are hard to correct.
3. Finishing the Bleach Application
3-1. Bleach the rest of your hair
Let down the front sections of your hair and work on those piece by piece until your entire head is done. Take a final look all over your head to make sure there aren’t any spots that you missed.
3-2. Rinse off the bleach with cold water after about 20 minutes.
Read the instructions on your bottle of bleach to see how long it should sit. Once the bleach has finished processing, rinse out your hair with cold water to remove all of the bleach.
If your hair is super dark or thick, you may need to leave the bleach on longer.
Make sure you rinse out all of the bleach so your hair stops lightening.
3-3. Let your hair air dry.
Since you just dried out your hair with bleach, you should avoid using heat tools, like a hair dryer, on it right away. Allow your hair to air dry until it’s fully dry all the way through so you can see what color your bleached hair is.
Avoid using other heat styling tools, like a straightener or curling iron, for about 1 week after you bleach your hair.
3-4. Add toner
Mix together a toner and some 10 volume developer in a plastic bowl. Paint the toner onto your bleached hair to counteract any brassy or yellow colors. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water.
You can find toners at most beauty supply stores.
3-5. Use conditioner to add moisture back into your hair.
Apply a quarter-sized glob of conditioner to the ends and roots of your hair and let it sit. Rinse it out with cool water after about 5 to 10 minutes to give your hair some moisture and shine.
Tips
The back of your hair is usually darker than the front, which is why you should bleach the back part first.

How to Bleed Brake Lines
|
1. Safety Information
1-1. Get your car inspected if the pedal is spongy.
A spongy brake pedal could mean that your brake pad has worn thin, leading to a low level of brake fluid. When the brake fluid gets low, it introduces air into the line that can make your brake pedal feel springy. If you’re not a car expert, take your car to a mechanic to get inspected before you attempt to bleed the brake lines.
In general, brake lines need to be bled every 2 to 3 years.
A spongy or sinking brake pedal can also be caused by a hydraulic problem, like a failing master cylinder, a leaking rear wheel cylinder, a bad caliper or bad ABS. It’s important to rule out these dangerous possibilities via professional inspection before proceeding.
1-2. Consult your owner’s manual before starting.
Your specific vehicle may have a different process for bleeding the brake lines. Before you start, always consult your owner’s manual to see if there are any instructions you need to follow.
Always consult the owner’s manual before buying brake fluid, since different vehicles need different types.
You cannot bleed the brakes yourself on newer vehicles that have an anti-lock brake system (ABS). If your vehicle has ABS, you need a scan tool to electronically bleed the brakes, so take your vehicle to a reputable mechanic.
1-3. Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling brake fluid.
Brake fluid is corrosive, and it can cause skin and eye irritation. Since you’ll be handling a lot of brake fluid throughout this process, be sure you wear gloves and safety goggles the entire time.
1-4. Call a friend to help you bleed the brakes.
Bleeding brake lines is typically a 2-person job. Before you start, make sure you have a friend nearby who can help you out. All they’ll need to do is press down on the brake pedal when you tell them to.
2. Preparing Your Vehicle
2-1. Turn the engine off and keep the car off throughout the process.
It’s important to keep yourself safe while bleeding your brake lines. Before you start, turn off your engine and leave your vehicle off.
2-2. Jack up your car
Make sure your car is on solid, flat ground. Use 2 jacks on either side of the car to lift the car up into the air. Once your car is raised, remove the hubcaps and then remove all 4 wheels.
2-3. Release the hood and locate the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir.
It's a fist size (or larger) transparent container that is bolted to the firewall on the driver’s side of the car. You can find it by looking for the threaded cap on the very top.
The master cylinder is usually easy to access—in most vehicles, it’s near the top of the engine.
2-4. Remove most of the fluid from the master cylinder.
Clean the cylinder with a paper towel before uncapping it to remove most of the dirt and grime. Take the cap off the master cylinder and grab a turkey baster. Siphon most of the brake fluid out of the cylinder, leaving only about 1 in (2.5 cm) of fluid to cover the bottom.
Brake fluid is corrosive and can eat through the paint on your car. If any spills, clean it up with a rag right away.
2-5. Fill the master cylinder with new brake fluid.
Check your car’s owner manual to buy the right fluid for your car. Use a funnel to fill the master cylinder up to the fill line. Types of brake fluid include:
DOT 3
DOT 4
DOT 5
DOT 5.1
3. Bleeding the Lines
3-1. Start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder.
Usually, this is the right rear wheel. While it’s not incredibly important which order you go in, starting with the furthest wheel helps you remember which lines you’ve bled and which ones you haven’t yet.
Work your way back toward the driver’s side, going right rear, left rear, right front, left front.
3-2. Loosen the bleeder screw with a wrench.
The bleeder screw is on top of the caliper, or the drum brake wheel cylinder, where your wheel would normally be. You can find it by looking for the small rubber cap on top. Grab a standard wrench and carefully twist the screw a half turn to loosen it, but don’t open it up all the way just yet.
3-3. Slide a bleeder hose onto the bleeder screw.
Remove the rubber cap from the bleeder screw. Grab a bleeder hose, which is a plastic hose, and slide one end onto the bleeder screw. Point the other end into an empty plastic bottle.
Any plastic bottle will do, such as a water or soda bottle. Just make sure you can throw the bottle away when you’re done, since it will be holding your waste brake fluid.
3-4. Turn the wrench to open the valve.
Grab your wrench again and place it on the bleeder screw. Twist it counterclockwise to open the bleeder valve. You’ll notice almost immediately that the hose fills up with fluid and starts pumping into your empty plastic bottle.
Remember, brake fluid is corrosive. If any spills throughout this process, clean it up right away.
3-5. Have a friend press down on the brakes inside the car.
Grab a buddy and have them sit in the car while you work. After you’ve opened the bleeder valve, have them press down on the brake pedal as hard as they can. You’ll notice that more brake fluid gets pushed into the hose as they do this.
3-6. Close the bleeder valve with the wrench.
While your friend has the brake pedal pressed down to the floor, turn the wrench clockwise to close the bleeder valve again. Be sure that your friend keeps the brakes pressed to the floor the entire time.
3-7. Have your friend pump the brakes inside the car.
Pumping the brakes refills the master cylinder with brake fluid. While the bleeder valve is still closed, ask your friend to pump the brake up and down 2 to 3 times.
3-8. Open the valve again.
Tell your friend to stop pumping the brakes, then turn the wrench counterclockwise to open the valve again. This will force more fluid into the hose and the plastic bottle.
3-9. Ask your friend to press down on the brakes again.
Once the valve is opened back up, tell your friend to push the brake pedal all the way down to the floor again. Have them keep steady pressure until you notice the stream of brake fluid slowing down.
3-10. Continue until there is no more air in the bleeder hose.
You may have to do this process (opening the valve, having a friend press the brakes, closing the valve, and pumping the brakes) 4 to 5 more times. Keep an eye on the hose leading into the plastic bottle. Once there are no more air bubbles, this brake line has been fully bled.
You’ll also notice the brake fluid turn from dark to clear. This is a good sign, and it means that new brake fluid is being forced through the system.
3-11. Close the bleeder valve and remove the hose.
Turn the wrench clockwise to close the bleeder valve. Then, pop off the hose and remove it from the bleeder valve.
3-12. Fill the master cylinder with more brake fluid.
Never let the master cylinder get more than halfway empty. Once you’re done with one brake line, check out the master cylinder and top it off to the fill line again.
3-13. Bleed the brakes from all 4 bleeder valves on your car.
Now that you’ve bled the right rear line, head over to the left rear line and repeat the entire process again. Then, bleed both front lines, and don’t forget to refill your master cylinder every time.
3-14. Fill the master cylinder and cap it off.
Once all 4 lines have been bled, head back to the master cylinder and add more brake fluid to fill it up. Put the cap back on and then close your hood, because you’re done bleeding the brakes!
4. Cleaning Up
4-1. Put the wheels back on your car.
While your car is still lifted, slide the wheels back onto the stud bolts of the car. Slide the lug nuts back onto the bolts and tighten them by hand, then use a lug wrench to tighten each nut as much as you can. Once you lower the car back down, use the lug wrench to tighten each nut one more time.
4-2. Lower your car down from the jacks and tighten the lug nuts.
Slowly twist each jack on either side of your car to lower your car to the ground. When your wheels are just barely touching the ground, grab your lug wrench and use it to tighten all of the nuts one more time. Then, lower the jacks all the way and remove them from underneath your car.
Once the jacks are out from underneath the car, you can put your hubcaps back on.
4-3. Dispose of the old brake fluid by pouring it into kitty litter.
Brake fluid is both toxic and flammable, so it can’t go into the regular garbage or be poured down a drain. Instead, fill a paint tray with kitty litter, then pour the old brake fluid into the litter. Leave the kitty litter uncovered for a couple of days to let the litter absorb the brake fluid, then throw the litter into the trash.
Some states and counties may require you to take old brake fluid to a hazardous waste facility, even if you’ve poured it into kitty litter. Check your local laws to make sure.
4-4. Test your brakes to make sure they work.
Bleeding brake lines incorrectly can lead to unresponsive brakes. Before you take your car out again, test your brakes on a flat, level surface to make sure they work. Your brake pedal should feel strong and responsive, not soft and spongy.
If your brakes still feel soft and spongy or if you notice any problems after bleeding them, have your car towed to a mechanic shop. There’s a chance they might need to be bled again, or your vehicle has a different brake problem that needs to be fixed.
Tips
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific instructions on bleeding your brake lines.
Warnings
Bleeding your brakes incorrectly can lead to unresponsive brakes, which is incredibly dangerous. If you are not qualified to bleed your brakes on your own, take your car to a mechanic.

How to Bleed Car Brakes
|
1. Preparing to Bleed the Brakes
1-1. Remove the top of the master cylinder reservoir.
It is usually a light-colored reservoir with a black cap in line with your brake pedal in the engine compartment. Consult your manual or a mechanic if you need additional help finding it.
During a typical oil change, a mechanic will check the other fluids in your car. Simply ask next time you get an oil change done to find out where the reservoir is.
1-2. Draw out the old fluid.
Using a clean turkey baster, suck out as much of the old, inky fluid as you can. Collect the old fluid in a jar or bottle that you can later label as old brake fluid. This will ensure only clean fluid gets pumped into the lines while you work.
Labeling containers is the safest way to ensure it does not accidentally get used again.
Be sure to recycle your old brake fluid. Consult your local government to see where you can drop it off.
1-3. Clean the reservoir.
After you've gotten all the old brake fluid out, clean any sediment out of the reservoir, if accessible, with a clean, lint-free rag. Don’t let the rag fall completely into the reservoir though, as it will be a nuisance to get back out. Clean up any spilled fluid with a brake cleaner fluid or soap and water.
1-4. Fill the master cylinder with clean brake fluid.
You will be able to see the fill line in or on the reservoir as you fill. You will do this periodically to make sure no air is being pulled in from the reservoir side during the bleeding process. If the fluid gets to about half-full, you need to refill it.
1-5. Replace the top of the master cylinder reservoir.
Make sure to put the cap back on the reservoir and tighten to the right after each filling. Negative pressure in the lines during bleeding can cause fluid to shoot out of the reservoir if it is open.
1-6. Pump the brake pedal about 15 times then hold the brakes with pressure.
This is simply going to charge the lines with the new brake fluid. It has not yet removed any air in the lines, but it will make sure the pressure is there for when you begin to bleed the lines.
1-7. Prepare the bleeder valves.
Check your car’s manual to find the exact location of the valves. They are typically behind the brake system of each tire, and you may need to remove the tires to get access.
Bleeder valves look different for different types of brakes, but they are typically a hex bolt shape with a nozzle-type extension off the front. A web search for your car’s model may help you identify them specifically.
Using a box-end wrench (often ⁄16 inch (7.9 mm)) that fits the bleeder bolt, check that you can loosen the bleeder valves. Leave them closed though.
A little oil drizzled or sprayed on the bolts the day before will help to loosen them.
If the oil does not help, seek professional help. Breaking a bleeder valve will cause some costly damage.
Do not use a crescent wrench. You do not want to strip the valve, rounding the edges to loosen and tighten again.
1-8. Consult your manual to determine the order of the wheels to bleed.
If you cannot find the information in the manual or online, do not fear. Work from the furthest tire from the reservoir to the nearest tire. This makes sure that the air is gradually bled from furthest down the line until there is none left.
2. Bleeding Each of the Car Brake Lines
2-1. Jack up
Getting the car off the ground will give you easier access to the bleeder screws. Be especially cautious that the wheels are blocked and on stands before getting underneath the vehicle.
After parking on a flat surface and chocking the wheels, use the jack at each tire (making sure they jack is on the frame, not the paneling).
Place a jack stand under the frame after lifting each section to keep the car in the air.
Have your assistant get into the car now before you get underneath the car. That way if any rocking occurs, you will both be safe.
2-2. Put a 1 by 4 in (25 by 102 mm) piece of lumber under the brake pedal.
You can use an alternative spacer, if necessary. This will prevent the pedal from traveling too close to the floor as you begin to bleed the brakes. This is needed so you do not bottom out pistons in the master cylinder and cause internal master cylinder leakage.
2-3. Hook a tube to the bleeder bolt of the tire furthest from the reservoir.
Using a piece of clear plastic tubing (aquarium tubing works fine), push one end of the tube over the brake bleeder bolt. It doesn’t have to be a perfect fit, but it will help keep things cleaner if it is.
2-4. Put the other end of the tube into a jar filled with clean brake fluid.
You only need about 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) of brake fluid in the jar. This will keep air from being sucked back into the brake cylinder or lines. You can also see air bubbles as the air is flushed from the lines.
If you do not see air bubbles, don’t worry. They may be dispersing somewhere else. At the very least, you will be clearing the old brake fluid out.
2-5. Have your helper press and hold the brake.
Call “down” to your assistant who then presses the brake pedal, holds it, and call “down” back. The force should be equivalent to coming to a slow stop at a stop sign.
The calling back and forth will ensure you are both certain that the brake is pressed or not when it needs to be.
2-6. Turn the bleeder bolt to the left one quarter-turn.
Old fluid and air will go down the tubing into the bottle. You will be able to see the trickle down the line and into the jar.
: Warn your helper that the brake pedal they are pressing down will sink down as you unlock the bleeder bolt a quarter turn. This is perfectly natural, and your helper needs to keep pressure until it stops and hold it down.
2-7. Close the bleeder valve when the trickling stops.
Just like you opened it, but in reverse, turn the valve a quarter turn to the right. Closing the valve now ensures that while the pressure is pushing outward, nothing is going to be sucked back into the line when the brake is released.
2-8. Ask your helper to release the brake.
Call "up" to your helper, who now will lift off the brake and call “up” back to you. This completes one cycle of bleeding that particular line. Your brakes are a little closer to being cleared and clean.
It can take up to 8 or 10 cycles to fully clear the line, especially for the further away tires.
2-9. Repeat this process until new, clear fluid comes from the bleeder tube.
After every 5 or 6 times through the cycle, top off the master cylinder reservoir with fresh fluid..
2-10. Repeat the process on the other brakes.
Move to the next furthest wheel from the reservoir and repeat the process with your partner. Be sure to bleed the brakes at all 4 tires. If you only do a few, you may only move the air bubbles to a different line or section.
Tips
Some later model vehicles call for a special bleed procedure known as a "Bleeding Sequence" due to the various valves and systems used. Consult a professional first before attempting to bleed as problems and/or damage to your brake system can happen if improperly bled.
Always start from the furthest of the master brake cylinder. Usually, it's back right to back left, then front right to front left.
Bleeder bolts can become difficult to remove. Use a proper-fitting box wrench to keep from rounding them off.
Warnings
Brake fluid will destroy the paint on your car. Take care not to spill it on paint.
Doing this alone is not recommended, air can be sucked in around the threads of the bleeder valve! If a pressure bleeder is used, then bleeding can be done by one person.
Always use the manufacturer's recommended brake fluid for your car. Using the wrong fluid (like engine oil) can result in brake failure and/or expensive repairs.

How to Bleed Power Steering
|
1. Checking and Filling the System
1-1. Locate the power steering reservoir and twist the cap off.
Read your vehicle’s manual to find your power steering reservoir, which is where the power steering fluid is stored. The location of this tank varies from vehicle to vehicle, but it’s usually next to the coolant reservoir on the passenger side of the engine bay. Look for a small, cylindrical compartment that looks roughly half the size of the coolant reservoir and has a removable plastic cap on top. With the vehicle off, twist the cap off of the power steering reservoir by twisting it counterclockwise.
It will usually say “power steering” on top of the plastic cap. It may also list the type of power steering fluid you need on the cap.
This is one of those automotive repairs that basically anyone can do, especially since you don’t need to remove or disassemble anything. This is a great way to save a few dollars by skipping a trip to the mechanic!
1-2. Fill the power steering reservoir to the cold fill line if the fluid is low.
You can determine what type of power steering fluid you need by reading your instruction manual. It is usually printed on the reservoir cap as well. Inspect the dipstick attached to the bottom of the cap. There are two hash marks: cold, and hot. If the liquid is lower than the “cold” hash mark, slide a funnel into the reservoir’s opening and pour in enough power steering fluid to reach the “cold” hash mark on the dipstick.
Most vehicles use Dextron, Pentosin, or synthetic hydraulic fluid. You can purchase power steering fluid at any automotive store.
If your reservoir doesn’t have a dipstick, there’s a fill line on the inside or outside of the reservoir. You may need to use a flashlight to look inside the tank and look for the fill line.
1-3. Close the cap to keep fluid from popping out while you bleed the system.
Bleeding the power steering lines forces air out of the system. This can cause power steering fluid to spill out of the reservoir as the pressure in the power steering lines increases. To avoid making a mess, put the cap back on your power steering reservoir and close it tight.
Once your vehicle is off of the ground, you can slide a drip pan under the reservoir just to be safe. This is probably unnecessary, but it’s a good idea if you want to keep steering fluid off of the ground.
2. Removing the Air
2-1. Bleed the system using a vacuum pump kit if your car has a bleed valve.
Read your vehicle’s manual to see if your power steering has a bleed valve. If it does, purchase a vacuum pump kit for a power steering system and slide the end of the vacuum pump’s hose over the bleed valve. Then, pull the trigger on the vacuum until the gauge on the pump reads 20 Hg (inches of mercury). This will pull any excess air out of the system.
A small percentage of vehicles have bleed valves on the power steering assembly. Most vehicles don’t come with one because it’s fairly easy to bleed the power steering without a vacuum kit.
You can buy a reservoir cap with a bleed valve adaptor on the lid if you want to use a vacuum kit to pump your power steering lines but you don’t have a built-in bleed valve. You can also buy a vacuum kit with an adaptor that slides directly into the opening of the reservoir if you don’t want to buy a new cap.
You can still bleed your power steering using the traditional method if you have a bleed valve. This is just an option you have if your vehicle comes with a bleed valve. It’s easier to do it this way since you don’t need to elevate the vehicle and it takes less than 5 minutes.
You don’t need to open or close anything to insert the hose into the bleed valve. The hose just slides right on.
2-2. Lift your vehicle off of the ground with jack stands.
With your vehicle on a flat surface, slide wedges or chocks behind your back tires to keep the vehicle from sliding back. Slide a hydraulic floor jack under one side of your vehicle. Step repeatedly on the hydraulic jack’s pedal to raise the side of your vehicle up. Then, slide a jack stand under the side of the vehicle so it rests on the frame. Repeat this process on the other side to lift your front wheels entirely off of the ground.
If you can, use the smallest jack stands available to you. You only need the tires to be slightly off the ground, and it’ll be easier and safer to get in and out of the vehicle if you don’t have to climb up to get in the driver’s seat.
You don’t need to raise the back. Bleeding the power steering involves turning the steering wheel back and forth over and over again. You only need the front wheels off of the ground.
If you don’t have jack stands, you can still do this with your vehicle on the ground. You may not completely bleed the power steering lines, but you should still see a noticeable improvement if there is air trapped in the system.
2-3. Put the key in the ignition to unlock the steering wheel.
Carefully get in the vehicle, or open the door and reach over to the ignition. Insert the key in the ignition, but don’t turn the vehicle on. You need to turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is off, but you can’t do this if the key isn’t in the ignition.
On some vehicles, you’ll need to turn the key to the accessory position by turning it halfway or backward to unlock the steering wheel. It all depends on your make and model.
2-4. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock by turning it left and right.
Grab your steering wheel and turn it all the way to the left like you’re making an extreme left turn. Once the wheels rotate as far as they can to the left, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. This is known as turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, and this process forces air out of your power steering pump and lines.
Turning your steering wheel engages the power steering and forces the fluid to cycle through the lines. If there is air trapped in your power steering lines, this pressure forces the air out to the top of the reservoir.
2-5. Keep turning the steering wheel 20 or 35 more times to push the air out.
Continue turning the steering wheel back and forth. Go all the way to the left, then all the way to the right. If you drive a standard car, do this at least 20 times to force all of the air out. Do this 35 times if you drive an SUV, truck, or minivan.
2-6. Check the power steering level after turning the wheel and fill as needed.
Get out of the vehicle carefully and walk back over to the power steering reservoir. Open the cap on your reservoir and check the power steering fluid to see if it is lower than it was when you first checked it. If it is low, fill the power steering reservoir up with more power steering fluid so that the liquid reaches the “cold” fill line on the dipstick.
The power steering fluid levels typically go down when you remove the air. The excess air sits in the power steering lines and pushes the fluid up to make it seem like there is more fluid in the power steering lines than there actually is. Removing this air will cause the fluid levels to drop back down.
You may hear a small popping sound when you open the cap. This is because all of the air was forced to the top of the reservoir when you were turning lock to lock.
2-7. Start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel lock to lock 20 or 35 times.
Close the cap on the power steering reservoir and get back in the vehicle. Start your vehicle. Then, turn the wheel lock to lock again by turning the wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right. If you drive a standard car, do this an additional 20 times to let the power steering fluid cycle through the lines again. If you have an SUV, truck, or minivan, do this 35 times.
If you notice the steering is smoother while you’re doing this, congratulations! You likely removed all of the air and you’re about to be done.
2-8. Inspect the top of the power steering reservoir for bubbles.
Turn the engine off and get out of the vehicle again. Go to your power steering reservoir and open the cap. If you see the fluid at the top of the reservoir bubbling, it means there is still some air in your power steering lines. If there is no bubbling, the air is gone and you’re done!
If all of the air is gone and there is no more bubbling, close the cap on your power steering reservoir and take your jack stands off.
2-9. Continue turning the steering wheel until the fluid is bubble-free.
If you saw bubbling in the power steering reservoir, close the cap and get back in the vehicle. Turn the engine on and turn it lock to lock an additional 20-30 times. Continue repeating this process until you no longer see bubbles appearing at the top of the power steering reservoir.
When you’re done, tighten the cap on the reservoir and take your vehicle off of the jack stands.
Tips
If the growling noise in your engine returns in the next 2-6 months, you probably have a leak in your power steering pump. Take your vehicle to a mechanic and have them take a look at the issue.
If you do see bubbling when you check the reservoir after turning lock to lock, it may look like your power steering fluid has changed colors. Don’t worry about this; It just means that there’s a lot of air left in your lines.
