Lightening hair at home

If you want to change your image, then we women usually start with hair cutting and staining. And many of us also crave to become blondes, and for this we need to lighten hair. Such a procedure can easily be done by any hairdresser, but lightening hair at home today somehow enjoys greater popularity. First, it saves time, and secondly, money, because no hairdresser will not want to provide his services for free.

In fact, home hair clarification does not represent some complicated procedure, but it's necessary to do it right after all. There are several reasons why hair lightening is contraindicated. This is a wound on the skin, as well as the presence of any disease of the skin of the head.

So, what you need to prepare in order to conduct hair clarification at home. First you need to buy a special paint, i.e. a clarifier. In most cases, its role is hydrogen peroxide, and it is most often used for clarification. Do not buy the cheapest clarifier: it usually causes severe damage to the hair, and after lightening an ugly yellow shade appears. It is best to seek help from someone who can help make a choice in favor of a quality clarifier.

In addition to the clarifier, you will need an unnecessary towel, a comb with rare teeth, gloves, instructions, watches. Be sure to read the instruction before painting and perform everything that is written in it. First of all it concerns the test for an allergic reaction. To do this, 48 hours before dyeing, a small amount of clarifier must be applied to the inside of the forearm. If no unwanted reactions are observed, for example, the skin does not turn red and start to itch, it means that the agent can be safely used for clarification.

On his shoulders lies an old towel so as not to get dirty. Most of the clarifier is evenly applied to the hair. This can be done with hands that are already wearing gloves, or use a brush. Then the hair with the mixture must be thoroughly combed, and then put on them the remainder of the clarifier. The composition is left for a certain time. For example, if the hair is thin, then it takes 10 minutes to discolor, but if it is thick and hard, then it will be necessary to extend the time to 30-40 minutes. The time of aging of the clarifier still depends on what tone of clarification one wants to get. After that, the entire composition should be washed off with shampoo and apply a nourishing balm.

Lightening hair at home will have to be repeated about a month later. True, it is necessary to do the same thing with overgrown roots: the clarifying mixture must be applied only along their length. Repeat the lightening of the hair at home and in the event that it does not satisfy the hair color. But to do this is undesirable immediately after the first clarification: you need to wait at least two weeks, until the hair will gain strength and will be ready for new changes.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that lightening hair at home (like any other) is a great stress for the hair. The biggest disadvantage of discoloration, especially with the help of hydrogen peroxide, is a violation of the structure of the hair. They lose their shine, they start to break down, they get a painful look and in general they can start falling out. To help the hair to cope with the changes, you need to provide them with proper care. There is already no use of one shampoo. If the hair is discolored, then when washing your head, you should use a nourishing balm. Also every week it is necessary to make nutritious masks that will help strengthen the hair, they will also give them extra shine.
