Things To Remember Prior To Bleaching Or Colouring Your Hair Blonde

It's frightening enough to color your hair. However, bleaching your hair in the salon or on your own is more frightening. DIY it. To make the process easier for you, we provide you some helpful tips and pieces of advice that to consider prior to bleaching your hair or dyeing it blonde.

Before you do, consider whether you actually have to bleach your hair
A variety of dyeing jobs like those that involve browns and richer burgundy hues can be applied to black hair, without bleaching. So, putting yourself through the unnecessary trouble of stripping it of pigment you will put back into the follicles is not worth it. Therefore, bleach your hair only if you are looking for a bright pink, blue, green or other vibrant color that pops.

Beware of the root
To keep your scalp and hair follicles secure, don't let bleach touch your scalp. Bleach the lengths of your hair leaving at the start of each strand near the scalp. This will make sure that your roots are safe and your hair won't fall off the roots. Better yet, dye your ends or tips to ensure that you are able to cut off the damaged portion.

It's best when your hair is oily or dirty.
Did you realize that bleaching freshly washed hair is not a good idea. It's important to make sure that you don't bleach your clean hair. Your hair isn't equipped with protective oils necessary to withstand a harsh treatment like bleaching without being damaged. This is due to the fact that bleach is also soapy in nature itself, so pre-cleansing hair is not a good idea.

Instead of attempting to go platinum in one go make sure you have a break between every bleaching session
The heat produced by bleaching can break and burn hair that is exposed to excessive bleach. And often, that is what happens to hair. This is especially true if you apply a strong bleaching treatment at once changing from black to raven to platinum blonde.

We suggest that you wait at least seven days between each bleaching session in order to allow your hair time to heal.

Conditioner your hair thoroughly between bleach sessions
Do not wash your hair excessively when you're coloring it. This isn't just to preserve the colour, but because washing damaged hair--and the fact that bleached hair is damaged to a large extent--is the cause of further damage and stripping.

You should instead condition your hair as deeply as possible between bleach treatments to keep hair healthy and protected. If you're not able to make time to do this, you should at the very least condition your hair every day and leave it moisturised, even if it appears dirty.

Try soap-capping in lieu to bleaching
Soap capping can be used to lighten hair slowly and is less harsh than bleaching. There are two methods to accomplish this. The first involves bleach, hair colour development shampoo, conditioner, and bleach. The second, though gentler, utilizes baking soda, hair color development shampoo, as well as conditioner. We suggest a few minutes of the latter and we have tried it for us.

Keep an oil or serum handy for post-bleach hair protection
Make sure you have post-bleach products in your bag prior to bleaching your hair. One such item, which virgin hair rarely requires, but bleached hair drinks up is a serum for hair. asking2expert of serum you should be looking at is one that contains oil, that is, a product which has an oil in it. They are lighter and more pliable than oils, but they moisturize your freshly bleached locks more than any other.
