Bleached to #613: Can This Hair Pass The Ultimate Quality Test?

In professional hair markets such as the United States, the ability to lift hair to true American #613 is the clearest indicator of authenticity and quality.

Low-grade hair may reach a “light color,” but it often stops at yellow-blonde, turns brassy, or collapses under bleaching. True #613 (US tone) must be:

Pale platinum blonde
Even from root to tip
Free from orange

Only premium hair fibers can achieve this.

1.1. How to Spot Hair That Fails the Platinum Test

Synthetic fibers or mixed hair rarely survive extreme lightening. When exposed to peroxide, these low-grade strands often melt, become sticky, or break instantly. By contrast, premium hair lifts evenly to a clean blonde and still feels soft—an unmistakable sign of authenticity.

1.2. Cuticle Strength During the Lightening Process

Bleached to American #613 requires intact, aligned cuticles. Strong cuticles slow chemical penetration and protect the cortex, allowing the hair to lift safely to platinum instead of collapsing or becoming mushy.

2. How We Test Hair for Platinum Blonde Performance

At Lexhair, we prove quality through action, not claims. Below is the exact method we use to evaluate whether extensions can safely reach a #613 shade.

2.1. Preparation Before Lightening

We combine professional-grade bleaching powder with a 30–40 volume developer. This balance ensures effective lift without unnecessary stress. The mixture must be smooth and creamy so every strand absorbs evenly.

2.2. Controlled Application for Even Results

We apply the bleach generously from ends to wefts. Because extensions lack scalp heat, we wrap them in foil to maintain warmth. Throughout the process, we monitor elasticity every 10–15 minutes until the desired tone is achieved.

3. Evaluating Hair After Reaching American #613

After rinsing out the bleach and neutralizing the standard US yellow color with purple conditioner, we evaluated the effectiveness based on two main factors.

3.1. Elasticity Check

We gently stretch a wet strand. Healthy hair extends slightly and returns to shape. Weak hair snaps immediately or feels mushy—clear signs of internal damage.

3.2. Texture Retention

After drying, high-quality hair should remain smooth and manageable. Some dryness is expected, but excessive tangling or dullness indicates poor fiber quality. Our test bundles retain natural movement and shine, confirming they are 100% human hair.

4. Common Errors When Lightening Hair Extensions

Even premium hair can be ruined by incorrect technique. Avoid these mistakes if you plan to lighten extensions yourself.

4.1. Over-Processing

Leaving bleach on too long permanently destroys hair bonds. Unlike natural hair, extensions cannot recover once damaged.

4.2. Skipping Post-Treatment Care

After heavy lightening, hair loses moisture rapidly. A protein treatment or deep-conditioning mask is essential to reseal cuticles and restore balance.
