How to bleach hair - useful tips

1. When choosing paints during the experiment, we recommend that you first try the reaction of the product on a small strand of hair: cut a small strand, dye it, wash and dry. If you like the result, then dye your hair all over your head. Of course, this can be done ad infinitum, choosing colors, but you can go to a hairdresser for advice from a specialist.
2. If you want to lighten slightly, it is better to use a tinted shampoo for blondes.
3. If you dyed your hair before, rinse off the paint with special products that allow you to remove the pigment from the hair. Otherwise, the result will not be the one you expected.
4. If you are going to radically change the color from brunette to blonde, then home recipes are powerless. Unless to use hydrogen peroxide. The only advantage of this tool is the instant result. To make the clarification process even faster, add ammonia (ammonia) to the peroxide.

Important! Hydrogen peroxide is a very powerful substance. It is the only thing that can cope with black hair, but at the same time the hair will become dry, like straw. We do not recommend this method, but you need to mention it.

Peroxide Whitening

If you still decide to use hydrogen peroxide, then take advantage of small secrets for beginners:

1. Prepare the solution in earthenware, porcelain, glass or plastic dishes. A metal container causes a chemical reaction.
2. To reduce the harm from the procedure, do not wash your hair before lightening a couple of days. This is necessary so that they are covered with their own protective layer.
3. To avoid burns, lubricate the contour of the scalp with a greasy cream.
4. Do not use a brush with natural bristles for applying the product. Better use a wooden stick with a cotton pad wound around it or use a brush with artificial hair.
5. To prevent the solution from spreading, add a little liquid soap to it (shampoo will reduce the effectiveness of the procedure).
6. You can’t wrap your head during this procedure, in order to avoid thermal destruction of the hair.
7. Upon completion of clarification, rinse the curls liberally with water using a non-alkaline soap (do not use shampoo so as not to spoil the resulting color).
8. Water acidified with lemon juice (25 ml of juice per 1 liter of water) will help neutralize hydrogen peroxide. Acidified water will also add a natural shine to the hair.
