Hello! I'm going to be bleaching my hair soon to go to bright blue and green, but I want to lessen the damage as much as possible. I've heard lathering your hair in coconut oil, the applying the bleach over that helps quite a lot, the thing is; I can't find, nor afford coconut oil whilst still being able to afford my dye. So I was wondering, are there any substitutes to coconut oil? I've heard good things about doing a similar procedure with argon oil (applying it, leaving it on for a few hours or overnight, then applying the bleach other the oil) Thanks for any help given!

I agree with Jacqlyn check walmart and look for coupons on retailmenot.com if you need them. Remember vaseline is a sealant! You wouldn't put glue on your hair hahaha :p.

As the Jacqlyn and Bekah said, don't use Vaseline. Bleaching won't do anything to your hair if you have vaseline blocking it. Coconut oil isn't very expensive, but I guess it varies. You can find it basically in any grocery store and yes, walmart!

You can find coconut oil at trader joes, or in the bakery isle at Wally World!
