Beauteen Plex Bleach review bc i couldn’t find anyone talking about it before i tried it

Hello! I recently tried Beauteen's plex bleach for the first time, and I scoured the internet looking for people talking about it but couldn't find much in English so I'm contributing my own thoughts.

Some background: I have 2b(??? i think) hair and have never bleached or dyed my hair before, but I have been cutting it for years. Which is a different beast but does mean I'm more accustomed to how my hair behaves and working with the back of it, etc. Part of my concern is that I could only find reviews in Japanese and I was mostly worried about how bleaching would affect my hair texture + wave pattern.

Application: I did a sort of peekaboo style, so I tied the upper part of my hair up and only applied it to the part that was down. I was pretty careful to apply thoroughly–I watched [this video]（https://youtu.be/98dPekpSVGQ?si=zE6VVvWRzeUBC4z4) as research and thought it was quite useful, and one of the takeaways was to not try to apply bleach sparingly out of fear of damaging your hair. So I was pretty liberal with it, and I thought the comb attachment was nice for being thorough about it. I put my hair in a plastic bag to trap moisture and set a timer for 45 minutes (it took maybe 10-15 minutes to apply, so the beach was on for between 45 minutes and an hour). The instructions said to do 15-30 minutes, but I patch tested beforehand and that didn't lighten as much as I wanted, so I went for longer since the internet seemed to mostly say that was fine. It did tingle my scalp a bit, but I assume a normal amount? Idk it wasn't that bad

Aftercare: I cowash normally, so I rinsed the bleach other with my cowash, applied qualucia ash color shampoo for like 10 minutes as a toner sort of(?) (it didn't take the ash color at all), and then put it another round of conditioner to leave in. (Normally I rinse out the conditioning round of cowash or my hair gets greasy, but I've been scrunching out the excess but leaving plenty sitting in my hair for extra moisture). I've been doing the same conditioner routine every day (normally I wash my hair every 2-3 days). I did not use the treatment conditioner that came in the box, so I can't speak to its effectiveness.

Results: Tbh I am very delighted by the results and don't have any real complaints. My curl pattern seemed kind of confused at first, but after a few days it settled back to normal. I also don't feel any notable dryness compared to the unbleached part of my hair. There's a little bit of unevenness in color, which I am attributing to user error, since this is my first time bleaching hair, but it's pretty minor, and I'm not concerned about it bc the style I went with hides it mostly. So, I was pretty nervous, but in the end I have no complaints and would definitely use it again.
