In recent years, modern and safe techniques for dyeing hair in a light, but at the same time as natural as possible shade are considered to be especially in demand. One of them is blonding, with which you can radically change your image. Next, we will tell you what this technique is, who is it suitable for and what its features are, and we will also get acquainted with useful recommendations from specialists in the care of bleached curls in the future.

What it is?

Today, every salon offers the service of blonding hair. This is a special technique for dyeing hair with the most gentle means that allow you to get the purest light shade of blond.

Previously, the word "blonding" was not used, as a rule, this technique was called simply brightening, and therefore it is on everyone's lips. But what then, what now, lightening means removing hair from a darker shade to a light one. With all this, there is a complete discoloration of its own pigment.

Often, ladies carry out such a staining procedure on their own at home, using ordinary store paints.

To do this, of course, is highly undesirable, since such dye formulations have a very negative effect on hair health... And getting the desired shade with home staining is almost impossible. Usually, after such "procedures" girls have to overpay in order to correct the result.

Peculiarities

Many stylists and hairdressers are sure that at least once in her life every woman dreamed of becoming a passionate blonde. Everybody knows that white hair color makes ladies more feminine, delicate, cute and gracefulbut at what cost does it cost those who were not born blonde?

Blondes who regularly dye dark hair have to take care of them a lot, because such bleached curls are very thin, they are prone to loss, dullness, brittleness, this list of "troubles" can be continued indefinitely. In addition to expensive salon blonding, ladies also have to purchase expensive care. Therefore, before dyeing a noble blond color, it is recommended for a dark-haired girl to weigh the pros and cons.

It is best to carry out the blonding procedure on light brown and light brown hair. On such curls, it is easiest to get the desired shade of blond, be it from a warm or cold color scheme.

But for ladies with dark hair, including brown-haired women and brunettes, it is almost unrealistic to get the necessary tone from the first time dyeing. In some cases, it may take up to 3 visits to a specialist to obtain the desired shade.

It should be noted that blonding on dark hair is always a difficult, long-term and expensive procedure, which requires great professionalism of the master. Usually, at the first stage, the natural pigment is not completely washed out and the hair color turns out to be "dirty", but this picture is eliminated at subsequent stages and dyeing sessions.

Blonding red-haired ladies is even more difficult than brunettes, even despite modern technology.

Usually, to maintain the color, you have to use additional means, otherwise the color turns out to be light red or giving off yellowness.

Despite a lot of features, blonding is not contraindicated for dark hair. The main thing is to remember that in the future, they need exclusively professional care, which should be carried out regularly, not only at home, but also in salons... Here it should be understood that you will have to use not only professional shampoos and conditioners, but also additional toning agents to maintain a beautiful and radiant shade, as well as in order to avoid the appearance of yellowness.

Varieties

Today, experts share several basic types of blonding.

Classic blonding can be found in the "menu" of any fashionable salon. It involves lightening the hair by just a few tones, without causing much damage to the hair. Discoloration in this case can be done in several ways.

  • With the help of a special dye powder and hydrogen peroxide in the right concentration based on the type of hair and their condition (not the most gentle way, but very effective and always relevant);
  • Using the finished paint. Safe enough dyeing, after which the hair will probably not turn into a loofah. However, this coloring is suitable only for fair-haired girls and brown-haired women. For very dark hair, as well as red hair, this method is not used.

There is also radical blonding. As the name implies, it involves completely bleaching the hair pigment to obtain the purest light shade.

Radical blonding is indeed a very difficult and not the most useful dyeing procedure, especially when it comes to dark hair, since after it it is necessary to restore curls for a very long time.

Next, we will consider other types of blonding.

Scandinavian

With this dyeing technique, the crown of the hair is dyed in a cold shade, and the ends of the hair in a dark shade. This creates a smooth transition between the two shades. As a rule, this effect is created exclusively by high-quality toning agents.

Zigzag

The "ziz-zag" technique allows you to get original play of blond shades on your hair. Very similar to shatush and ombre.

Platifiz

This variety with the original name involves dyeing curls in a pure and shiny platinum shade.

"Shnurochek"

Usually, this technique is used by masters when they need to dye individual strands of hair.

This technique is considered quite safe, moreover, with its help you can get delicate color borders with overflows.

To achieve the result, the master carefully winds the so-called laces, applying a dye composition to them.

"Strainer"

Most often used to create a playful shimmer in the hair. It usually uses several paints or oxidants at the same time. A stronger pigment is applied to the roots, and the most gentle on the ends.

Dyeing process

The dyeing process and the necessary technique are usually selected by the master based on the condition of the hair, their needs and the desired result. The process of dyeing dark hair can take from 1 to 5-6 hours in the salon (depending on the length), and if we talk about several sessions to get out of a dark color, then most likely you will have to come to the master more than once.

Hair is often discolored at home, which is undesirable for a number of reasons that have already been mentioned.

However, if you have skills in hair coloring and want to experiment at home, we recommend that you take into account the following points.

  • It is best to choose a coloring agent (coloring composition, oxidizer and other components) in a salon or in a professional hairdressing store. Immediately you should take and care for the hair after dyeing.
  • When buying a ready-made coloring composition, it is very important to read the instructions in detail before using it, and also be sure to conduct a test in advance for the occurrence of an allergic reaction.
  • Depending on the original shade of the hair, you need to correctly calculate the lightening time. If you buy ordinary paint, then the time is always indicated in the instructions.
  • Before the dyeing process, it is very important to prepare everything you need: protective gloves and an unnecessary shoulder towel. Coloring formulations can cause skin burns and are very difficult to wash off. That is why it is highly undesirable to neglect personal safety.

    A not very dark shade of hair can be easily lightened at home the first time, but dark-haired ladies are still recommended to consult a specialist, at least in order to choose the right dye composition and oxidizer for home dyeing.

    Care Tips

    Blonding is not just dyeing hair in a new shade, it is their complete lightening, and therefore such curls after the procedure require very serious care.

    After dyeing, the pigment will not wash out, as is the case with dark colors, since it will be lightened, but this does not at all exclude the appearance of yellowness on light hair.

    The following is recommended after the procedure.

    • Trim the tips regularly and paint overgrown roots.
    • To restore curls, use a special shampoo for colored hair, a balm (or conditioner), and a mask for damaged and colored hair. The use of special oils that restore damaged hair structure is not excluded. Shampoos are recommended sulfate-free and with keratin.
    • Shows the use of toning shampoos in agreement with the master.
    • Hair dryers, curling irons and irons should be used as little as possible. And if there is a constant need for them, then it is very important to pre-use thermal protection.
    • According to the recommendations of experts, you can drink vitamins and other bioactive food supplements. It is not worth prescribing them on your own, because they do not always restore curls and accelerate their growth.
    • All kinds of wraps and nourishing masks from professional lines are perfect for care. It is also recommended to do some other care programs that allow you to restore the beauty of even bleached hair as soon as possible.

      Blonding today is a completely affordable method of dyeing hair, but you should not chase low prices in salons. If you value your hair, it is best to entrust it to a professional.
