Many dream to radically change their image. For the brunette, the most courageous step is repainting the blonde. However, what does this mean and what are the consequences?
What you need to know when repainting?
First of all, of course, you need to decide whether you will do it in the salon or at home. If you didn’t have any home dyeing experience, and you don’t have friends who already did it, it’s better to find a good master who can change your image, minimizing damage. Also, a specialist can help with the choice of blond shade that suits you according to the type.
However, there is nothing difficult in painting if you have already dealt with home painting. In this case, you only need to buy whitening and coloring tools that suit you, and follow the instructions exactly. In this way, you can repaint your hair as economically as possible without leaving your home.
Negative sides of clarification
Of course, the most negative will be the first process of clarification. Hair, under the influence of chemicals in clarifiers, become dry. This leads to their excessive lightness, porosity. Dry hair gets dirty quickly and, without proper styling and care, will look like straw.
Dryness leads to breakage. Of course, broken ends on blond hair are less noticeable (because they have a characteristic white tint), however, the process of caring for them becomes more difficult.
For example, wet hair can begin to break right in your hands, you just have to gently pull your fingers over the end of the strand. Dried and laid hair, of course, break less, but, because of their internal dryness, they will require constant washing, which will bring a lot of tears and pain to its owner.
Coloring brings with it temporary discomfort in the form of damaged scalp. This can cause a separation of particles, which will remain on the hair and clothing with white flakes or redness and swelling.
This is a normal reaction of the skin to chemical irritation, and over time it goes away. However, at first, such consequences bring severe discomfort, the feeling of having a “helmet” under the hair and excessive dryness of the scalp.
Choosing a shade and coloring tools for dyeing
If you choose to paint in the cabin, then you have nothing to worry about. The stylist himself will select the funds of sufficient power, which will wash the dark and red pigments from the structure. But, if the choice fell on home coloring, then you will have to choose your own brightening and coloring material.
For clarification there are several types of substances that can help the brunette:
- Brighteners mass production. These are the most famous brands that you can see in any cosmetic store on a shelf with paints. The darker your color, the higher the level of the clarifier should be taken. Be sure to look at the proposed lightening illustrations and make corrections to the red pigment.
- Discoloration powder. This item is sold in professional makeup stores. It can be purchased in the exact dosage at the required number of times, and in large packages. An oxigent is purchased for powder, which is a provocateur of the bleaching reaction. Oxigents come in different concentrations: 3, 6, 9 and 12 percent. The concentration of oxygenants depends on the type of work you are going to do. Of course, the higher the concentration, the more damage it causes to the hair.
After choosing a tool that will save you from the dark color, be sure to pick up the paint of the desired shade. Blond paint will help to achieve a single shade, plus, modern dyes help restore hair shine, because after bleaching, they are deprived of it.
Also now paints are used that create multicolorization. Due to this effect, the hair is saturated with various shades of blond, which creates a beautiful visual game, making the color more saturated and attractive.
To choose a color for coloring, go to the mirror and look at yourself. Stop your eyes on the color of your eyelashes and eyebrows, eyes and skin. These components will help you choose the color of the blond.
The darker the color of your skin (tanned or saturated color itself), the closer to the golden shade is to choose the color of the blond. In this case, you will create a warm image. And the lighter the eyebrows, eyes and skin, the paler the shade you can afford.
Technology lightening natural hair color
How to repaint from a natural brunette to a blonde? Natural hair to lighten is not so difficult.
For this, it suffices, acting according to the instructions, to apply the lightening mass that you have chosen on the hair, starting from the roots, and gradually moving to the ends. Try to apply the mass as quickly and evenly as possible to get even clarification.
After the bleaching time has elapsed, wash off the brightening mass with gloves. Rinse your hair, do not use hot water (it is better to even take water cooler than you usually use, because when brightened, your scalp will be irritated, which will create discomfort from contact with hot water).
After you have washed the brightener, let the main water drain, then gently blot your hair with a soft towel. Do not squeeze them out! After blonding, hair became brittle and fragile.
With sudden movements, they can simply break in your hands. For fifteen minutes, wrap them in a towel, then let them dry and comb them using oil for weak hair.
Experts strongly recommend not doing the lightening and toning in one day. However, if you are not ready to wait another week and want to do it all in one day, just follow the instructions and follow the condition of your hair twice as carefully.
After using the dyeing paint, be sure to apply a balm for dyed hair (it often comes with dye, so just use it) and repeat the drying procedure.
Technology of bleaching colored hair
To lighten colored hair, you have to try hard. If earlier you used unstable paint or tinting shampoo (as well as non-traditional dyeing methods, such as brilliant green and fukortsin or onion peel), and the colors were light and dull, then there is a chance that you’ll have enough of one color to wash the previous one color, making room for a new one.
Situations with lightening dyed hair can be only two. It is when:
- previous staining was done on bleached hair;
- previous dyeing was done on non-bleached hair.
In any case, you have to do an extra wash. For this there are special tools that are called Color Off. They aim to wash the artificial pigment without affecting the natural pigment.
If the painting was carried out on non-bleached hair, the number of washes will be minimal. However, if the hair was lightened, of course, you will have to make quite a lot of it.
Fortunately, this procedure does not harm so much, because up to five washes can be done at a time. After which the procedure repeats the process of lightening unpainted hair. However, it is better to dye from the roots to the ends, with a short break between them.
