Stan,
Yes, believe it or not! I know that we were always instructed not to us anything metallic with peroxide, but, yes you used an egg beater in a glass or plastic bowl, not metal. I guess the brief contact with the metal beaters while beating the mixture had no ill effects. By the time I started in the business this was not used very often, though it was still available. Also, since both /whipped creme and Instant Whip were neutral they could be mixed with Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath for extra lift.
Also, before there were many commercial bleaches available they used to mix peroxide,ammonia and Lux Soap or Ivory Soap Flakes and whip it with an egg beater. And in cases were major lightening was required the peroxide and ammonia was mixed with White Henna, which was Magnesium Carbonate. This was the very earliest form of powder bleach. The White Henna mixture made a paste that held in the body heat on the scalp better than the soap flake foam did, thereby accelerating the bleaching process.
