So its been almost 2 weeks since my last colorfix. The only store we have here remotely to what you guys would is Sally's. What brand, that I can buy there obviously would you suggest for both bleach and peroxide, as well as volume? I'm going to do a bleach bath.
US or UK Sally's? They carry different products.

Also, how do you do a bleach bath without getting the bleach on your scalp if you don't have help?
For US Sally's Wella Colorcharm and Blond Brilliance are good. I like and use Ion's own brand. Peroxides are pretty much all the same. I use Ion's sensitive scalp peroxide. What volume to get depends on your hair's color and condition, I use 30 as I have very dark hair. Typically I dilute it to around 15/20 in the warmer months and use it full strength in the dead of winter.
I don't think it's possible to not get bleach on your scalp doing it yourself, and unless your helper is a pro at application they're probably going to do it too. That's why you start with a dirty scalp and coat it and your hair with coconut oil 1+ hrs in advance of bleach application. I can do a pretty good job with the front of my head but in the back I just wind up mushing it on. I haven't had any issues with scalp irritation but everyone is different.
