How to lighten hair and get rid of yellowness

The best remedy for depression for a woman is a change of image, namely a dramatic change in color. Namely, we'll talk about hair lightening, turning from a brunette into a blonde!

The ideal option with such a radical change of image is to dye in the salon, but for some it is too expensive, others prefer to trust themselves and dye their hair at home. And in this article I will tell you how to lighten hair and remove yellowness at home.

Preparing hair for coloring

If your hair has already been dyed before lightening your hair, you need to get rid of the coloring pigment that is in your hair. To do this, it is better to use a special decanter. It does not lighten the hair, but removes the pigment that is in the structure of the hair. This pigment can greatly affect the shade when lightening the hair.

Dye selection

When choosing a paint, give preference to professional means of clarification from specialized stores. The composition of such paint includes a clarifier, it is 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%. The more brightener, the brighter your hair will become. The seller of the consultant will help you to choose the percentage of the clarifier, depending on your hair color and their structure. You must also choose a resistant dye of the desired shade: caramel, honey, platinum, ashy or golden.

Yellowness Prevention

To prevent the appearance of yellow shades need to choose the right tone of paint. If your hair is a warm shade, then the tone of paint should be ashy or platinum. If you dye your hair at home, then over time yellowness will appear on the hair. Therefore, I recommend using a special shampoo for blondes against yellowness.

Preparing for staining

Before applying the paint, make sure that the hair does not have any styling materials (mousse, styling, foam, hairspray, etc.). It is advisable not to wash your hair for 2-3 days before dyeing (this will protect them from damage during lightening). Now cook the paint. To do this, mix the coloring cream and oxidant according to the instructions. Do not use metal containers.

Hair coloring

Comb your hair thoroughly and start dyeing from the back of the head. If you want to lighten a little hair, then the composition hold 20 minutes. For more intensive clarification will take 30-40 minutes. Then wash off the paint with warm water (without shampoo). Then apply a balm on the hair (usually it is attached to the paint).

Aftercare

When bleaching hair injured, weakened and become drier, so it is important to properly care for them. Try to make different hair masks, do not straighten hair with an iron, do not abuse the hair dryer.

As I have already said, over time, yellowness will begin to appear on the hair, so that this does not happen, use a special shampoo for blondes once a week. This shampoo can also be mixed with your regular 1: 1 shampoo and wash your hair regularly with this mixture. And get ready for the fact that now you have to tint regrown roots every 3-4 weeks.
