“Behold: the secret to painless hair bleaching, coconut oil. My scalp used to burn every time I bleached out my roots, and this has saved me. Ideally, you melt a few tablespoons and slather on your scalp the night before, but I usually wait till last minute and leave it on for an hour the day of. Then bleach like normal, without rinsing out the coconut oil. Magic.”
