Any higher than 3% and you risk hair loss when applying. Not fun! A clean, empty spray bottle. You can buy a new one at the drugstore, or use an old one. If you use an old one, wash it out thoroughly. If you're going to store the peroxide, keep it in a dark bottle and away from light. Hair clips. Cotton balls. A towel. Gloves. Aluminum foil, if you plan to do highlights. Shower cap, if you plan to bleach your whole head of hair.
