Thread: How do you bleach elk hair?

    I find that the best way, meaning the results are the best, is by using ladies hair bleaching powder with the 30% developer. Make a cream of the 2 ingredients and work into the hair. watch and rinse when it looks slightly darker then you want it.
    This product is less likely to burn the hair.

    fisher999 - yes, regular drug store peroxide will work all by itself. It takes days, even weeks. The upside is, you almost can't overdo it and burn the hair.

    I find it is a lot easier, just to call up the local beauty parlor (Curl Up & Dye), and make an appointment, then just drop off my elk, and let them do their magic.

    Hi all'
    I was wondering if this was ever going to work because i have had it in the proxide for over a week now and have seen no change in color. Is there any ways to speed this up with out adding other ingredents. or with out adding amionia. (that stuf stinks)
    regards,
    fisher

    I would first talk to the elk and get his permission.

    Sorry. Couldn't resist.
