Developer comes in 10, 20, 30, and 40 volumes. However, you should not need 30 or 40 volumes to achieve an ombre look.

Mix 2oz each of the 20 volume peroxide and powder until they are completely combined into a creamy mixture. Always mix the bleach in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling too much of the fumes.
Divide your hair into sections. Part your hair down the middle so that it is split half-and-half. Then, divide both halves into as many sections as you want.

To avoid a stark line or line of demarcation, apply the bleach using an applicator brush and take vertical strokes down the hair strand, rather than painting the hair in a horizontal motion.
Let the bleach set. Depending on how light you want your hair to be, you will need to let the bleach set for anywhere from minutes.
To check, remove the bleach from a small strand of your hair after about minutes. If you like the shade, remove the rest of the bleach. If you want to go lighter, leave it in and check again in minutes. For a slight change in color, leave the bleach in for only minutes.
For a more bold change in color, leave the bleach for minutes. Leaving the bleach in for longer will also help prevent orange or brassy tones. Wash out the bleach. Keeping your gloves on, rinse out the bleach with warm water. Then, wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo.
Be sure to get out all the bleach, or your hair will continue to lighten. Part 3. Make sure your hair is dry. Use a towel to dry it off before beginning the coloring process.
