I'd honestly and firmly say hold your fire on bleaching your hair yourself at all and visit a qualified hair-dresser or reputable beauty salon. Household bleach is vicious stuff, even diluted strongly. It's alright for bleaching a pair of denims sweetheart, but don't even think about having on your hair or scalp or near your face. Most home hair-treatments can be a bit random in their effects. A beauty technician/hairdresser will have the savvy and experience to have a very good idea of how to get YOU exactly the look you want. Agree with your other replies, there's no doubt websites and video-clips that show one how to service their car brakes as well...but I certainly wouldn't have a go at it myself and hope for the best!!!

If you can access YouTube, you'll find hundreds of videos.

But I'm not going to link you to them, because dying your hair with household bleach is an awful idea. Awful for your hair, Awful for your health.

Household bleach is not safe for use on your hair. It not designed to be safe. It's also not meant to work correctly in that way. Even if you can avoid the medical emergency that is entirely possible from mishandling bleach - everyone's hair is still very different! There is no way to know how much to use, or what colour you'll end up with. It's very easy to kill the hair so utterly that it falls out, or burn chunks of it right off.

So even if you don't end up in the ER, and if you don't destroy your hair and skin (and that you definitely will) you still can't control the colour you'll end up with, you'll still be damaging your hair very badly so that other proper hair dyes wont work on it, and the lightening will look spotty and inconsistent.

Please buy some proper product from a drug store at least. The best way, of course, is to have this done by a professional who understands hair and the chemistry and can mix the chemicals up precisely for your hair and what you want to achieve.

If you wont or can't do that, at least buy a proper hair bleaching kit from a drug store. I promise you, you'll regret using household bleach.

there are video's on you tube already. All you need to do is a search on line how to use bleach or hydrogen peroxide to lighten hair.
I would recommend you do not do it at all. there is a reason why there are hair products sold to bleach hair lighter or products to take out all color.
Household bleach comes with cautions on the label to not breath the vapors or have it come into contact with your skin. I can't say what the problems would be and I saw all sorts of comments from people on line, which I can't verify is true but some said if it gets into your eyes, it could blind you. It could create skin conditions or actually burn your skin. the hair will dry out real badly and it could actually break off in chunks or lose it all. thats the kind of stuff I found.
I checked on hydrogen peroxide and thought some people used it to spray on hair to lighten it, they say its not enough to take out all color like if you want to start with white hair to color it blue or green or something. It'll only lighten hair.
But you dont have to believe me or anyone else. Just call contact numbers on your bottle of bleach and hydrogen peroxide and contact those companies to ask them yourselves if its okay to use on your hair cus what goes on your hair goes on your skin/scalp etc...
Since you are not asking if it might be harmful to use, instead asking only how its done, my guess is that your mind is set. But then sometimes, the way we learn best is from making our own mistakes. If you are a teen, I suggest you ask mom about your idea here and get her feedback, and i'LL bet she says no. If you are going to do this anyways, no matter what, be prepared to pay the price, ending up in emergency in the hospital having burnt your lungs from the fumes, or having breathing problems and stuck on oxygen for a while or forever, damage to your eyes...the fumes are enough to do it. getting into your eyes is likely enough to cause worse damage, scar tissue or yes, maybe blindness. And i can't imagine what else could go wrong. You may not have immediate problems with the skin that you are aware of, just irritation, but what if your skin is burnt and the healing process yields skin with different pigmentation shades for the rest of your life, meaning skin of your scalp, face and maybe neck and shoulders in even splotches of color as it heals, never to look normal again. If I were you, I'd do more research on what side effects there could be. If the worst that happens is that your hair breaks off at the roots from damage and all falls out cus you killed it, you'd have to live with being bald for quite some time.

Stick with the proper products especially formulated for stripping hair color cus they are specially made and come with instructions that must be strictly followed to avoid consequences.
