Blonding hair - a perfect lightening session
Every woman at least once in her life, but wanted to see herself with blond hair. It is impossible to completely repaint the dark hair at home, as it is not possible to completely eradicate the pigment even in the cabin. The fair-haired women are much more fortunate: if they want to change the shade of the curls, they just have to resort to the procedure of blonding hair. It can be carried out independently, observing all the rules, or consult a specialist. The latter option will allow you to get excellent results and avoid annoying mistakes. In addition, the master can not just lighten the hair, but if you want to achieve an interesting and unusual effect.
What is hair blonding ?!
Blondirovanie hair is a procedure for dyeing the hair, giving it a light color. However, this is not a very precise definition. Painting does not just lighten strands: thanks to a special technology of coloring in several shades, the most natural effect is achieved. Curls look more natural than with ordinary staining.
There are several different blinking techniques:
- Scandinavian point: two-tone painting takes place; on the top of the head the color is colder, on the tips it is dark.
- Platyphis: dye is used to blond the hair of a silvery shade.
- Zigzag, drawstring, strainer methods: these are more creative methods in which some areas become brighter to form a pattern. Coloring the "strainer" allows you to get the effect of individual strands faded in the sun, which makes it quite popular. In addition, to obtain the effect of using weak tools that do not harm the curls. To obtain a "zig-zag" strands are wound on different-sized curlers and painted in different shades of paint.
It’s almost impossible to create beautiful and clear lines to yourself, so it’s better to pre-book a salon
How does blonding happen ?!
Coloring involves the use of brighteners that wash out the natural color of your hair. These include blonddoran and peroxide. The latter is in several versions, differing in the percentage composition: from 1.5% to 12%. The stronger should be the paint for blonding, the greater the percentage you need to choose. For example, it is necessary to apply 12% peroxide on black hair, but even in this case, it is necessary to repeat the procedure several times, acting in stages.
Unlike blond hair, the blonding of dark hair does not give a good result from the very first time. At first, the curls acquire an ugly yellowish or grayish shade, which is washed out only after several procedures. The desired color is obtained after lightening, when the strands are fully prepared.
Warning for brunettes
Looking at the photo before and after, you might think that blasting on dark hair does not bear any harm, but this is absolutely not the case. The composition penetrates under the upper scales, each time deepening more and more. This greatly harms the curls: they become dry, brittle, lose their strength and luster, begin to split.
Not less difficulties arise due to regrown roots: it is necessary to regularly blonder dark hair to get rid of this problem. Otherwise the hairstyle will look messy and untidy.
Choosing the right color of hair
Before deciding on this procedure, you must clearly understand what color of hair you want to get.
- If you have dark hair, choose natural colors: honey, caramel, light brown, nutty. They will be perfectly combined with skin and eyes, in addition, they look better with dark eyebrows.
- If you decide to completely change the color of the hair to silver or pure white, be prepared for the fact that the strands can not move the procedure and begin to break and fall out. The darker the original color, the worse the complete bleaching will take place.
- If you want to carry on blond hair, you can choose more extravagant colors.
In other words, it is necessary to try not to lighten the hair more than 3-4 tones: this will preserve their health and strength.
