Processing Time: Now, cover the lace with aluminum foil. This will speed up the bleaching process. Keep checking the knots after intervals of 10 minutes. The processing time varies for different lace frontals, but the average is 15 to 30 minutes. Ensure that the final color of the knots is honey blonde.

Rinsing: Once the knots have turned to the desired color, rinse the lace thoroughly to remove all the bleach mixture. Use lukewarm water for the process. While rinsing, hold the front lace upward to avoid bleach from getting on other hair.

Neutralizing: Wash the lace frontal with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the bleaching process. Purple shampoo is optional. It is used only if brassiness is noticed.

Drying: First, gently pat dry the frontal lace with a soft towel and then let it air dry.  Then, you can proceed to the next step.
