Blue is extremely difficult to achieve because you have to get rid of most of the underlying yellow color (the natural color of keratin) in your hair before you apply the Special Effects.

Hair needs to be bleached to a very pale yellow, and this might take you several sessions of bleaching, which is extremely damaging to your hair. If your hair is long, you'll probably need to go to a professional to have it done properly; but if your hair is shorter, here is my advice:

(1) Get a strong, on-the-scalp bleach from a beauty supply store that is manufactured by a reputable company.

(2) Use a cream developer to mix with this bleach. 40 volume lightens the best, but many people can use a 30 volume to achieve the same results. Ask the salesperson if this is unclear.

(3) Only leave the bleach on for 30-40 minutes. Do not wash hair BEFORE you do this. This will keep some natural oil on your scalp to protect from irritation. Since my guess is that you'll need about 2-3 bleaching sessions to get to a light yellow, you want to minimize irritation.

(4) Bleach again, preferrably the next day or several days later. If you cannot stand having orange/yellow hair in the mean time, then bleach again the same day, but this will seriously irritate your scalp. In the worst case scenario, you can get blisters (chemical burn). As always, leave the bleach on for only 30-40 minutes. Putting a shower cap on helps too, as the heat from your head will speed up the lightening. Longer hair might require additional bleaching on the ends, but not the roots.

(5) When the hair is finally a light yellow (it's important that you do not give up before this stage), get a blue color that is slightly violet. The regular blue color tends to turn hair a greenish blue instead of a deep, intense blue.

I know this might sound like a lot of work, but if you want an amazing head of blue hair, this is the way to go.
