But, the color you desire is ultimately your choice. You may want blonde streaks, or pink or purple streaks. If you're unsure what will look good in your hair, start small by streaking one piece of hair with your favorite color. If you love it, you can always add more.  Some people choose to have one pretty pink or purple streak running down the side. This adds a subtle beauty to your style.

You may want a few streaks for a subtle effect, or a head full of streaks to dramatically change your hair color.

You can buy your supplies at a beauty supply shop, like Sally’s Beauty Supply. The supplies you will need are:  Bleach powder, which comes in either packets or tubs. If you're doing just a few streaks, you won't need much. Crème developer, which makes the bleach work. If your hair is already blonde or light brown, use a 20 or 30 volume developer. Never get a volume higher than 40, or you'll damage your hair. Red Gold Corrector is added to the bleach powder to increase its effectiveness, so you don't have to bleach twice. You will need this if your hair is on the darker side. "Purple shampoo," which is a special shampoo designed to reduce yellow tones in bleached or lightened hair. A tint brush, a bowl, rubber gloves, and aluminum foil.

Summary:
Pick out a hair color. Decide how many streaks you’d like. Get bleaching and streaking supplies.
