I did a DIY bleach job at home and trolls have come for me – I think it looks pretty good though and saved me a fortune
A YOUNG woman who bleached her hair at home to save money has shut down trolls who say it looks “yellow”.
Social media personality Riri-Jacruerde attracted criticism from hairdressers warning not to bleach your own locks.
Some even accused her of going to a salon to get her hair done and then pretending she did it herself.
The content creator shared videos using just a hairbrush and her bare hands to work bleach into her mane.
Posting under @69nattydaddy420, she said: “I no longer want my brown hair but I also don’t want to spend a ton of money.
“So I’m gonna dye my hair blonde at home.
“All I need is a brush and bleach.”
She admitted that she had no technique to perform the treatment and opted to brush her hair as normal, simply with the addition of bleach on the comb.
While using the spoon to spread the bleach, she quipped: “You’ll need to trust the process because I make everything look great – trust me.”
With a hat made of tin foil on her head, the social media personality blew a hairdryer over her scalp to help the bleach develop.
People begged her “to not do it again” but she decided a second and third bleach session were needed.
Recording the second attempt, she said: “Yep, it’s the brush again.
“I won’t use any other method.
“I don’t want to sit there for hours.”
She used her hair hands to scoop up the bleach and run it through her hair.
Riri-Jacruerde later uploaded a string of videos showing off her DIY transformation from dark to blonde.
She dubbed herself a “pretty girl” and encouraged critics to eat their words.
Some viewers were far from impressed, with one hairdressing apprentice chiming in that the bleaching method “pained her” to see.
Another critic penned: “It needs toner.
“That’s way too orange.”
However, fans of the look said she “slayed so hard” with the light bob, with one even comparing the finished result to Khloe Kardashian.
This is not the content creator’s first time attempting hair DIY.
She has previously cut in her own fringe hours before a job interview to look “innocent” and “pure”.
