Depending on your hair color, you might need to wait around 30 minutes for your hair to lighten to the desired shade.  Don’t keep the bleach on for longer than the specified time.

Set the faucet to a warm temperature and wash out the bleach beneath the running water. Keep your gloves on as you rinse your locks, using your fingers to get rid of any extra bleach clumps. Continue rinsing until your hair is completely bleach-free. When wet, your bleached hair will look significantly darker than its true shade. Pour a small amount of conditioner for bleached hair onto your hands and knead it into your scalp. Focus on the lower sections of hair, which were just exposed to bleach.
