Review on πŸ”† Jolen Regular Lightening Creme Bleach 4oz/118ml for Excess Dark Hair by Heidi Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It stings a little but the beauty hurts my dears

So I bleached my hands with Sally Hansen when I was a teenager because they have very long black hair on light medium skin and it really stands out. I even caught a friend staring at my hands. Bleaching was always so awful and back then I had a lower pain threshold so I quit my job and lived with just my hands. Fast forward to now and I have to look good at a wedding and my arm hair is way too thick. I tried this brand to see if it wouldn't burn as hot and it looks like it would be the same, it just doesn't have preconditioner in it. My patch test turned out to be quite odd as there was a ring where the edges of the bleach spot circle had actually bleached the skin a bit. This went away after 24 hours so I considered the patch test a success. The itching/pain wasn't that bad and I watched a few videos online on how to do it. One of them said to dab the cream with your finger if it starts to form a crust after 5 minutes, so I did something. The areas I did seemed to discolor more, but I also applied a thicker coat for longer hair, so I'm not sure what helped. One of the videos was about facial hair and sideburns, so I went ahead and applied the same 3:1 ratio, but took it off in 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes. You look so good! I wish I had done that sooner. I don't have a "before" sideburn photo, so I used a photo I took a few years ago for a very different product review (a product that had nothing to do with hair, just skin).

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Working speed
