Lightening hair dyes: rating of manufacturers and subtleties of choice

In the middle of the XX century, after the release of the musical film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" with the blond beast Marilyn Monroe, the fashion for hair lightening came. Currently, a huge number of different formulations are presented in stores in order to make the curls lighter. And which one to choose, read our material.

It is not difficult to become a blonde in the 21st century with a large selection of clarifiers. The main thing is to choose the right one, to discolor the natural color, to give the desired shade to the hair.

Under the influence of aggressive chemical components, the hair shaft scales rise. The dyes enter the center of the hairs. An oxidative reaction takes place and the melanin that gives them their color is broken down. The intensity of the color depends on the time of exposure to the strands and the product used. With a prolonged process, the hair breaks off and falls out, and the scalp gets burned.

Yellowness when lightening is a common problem. Compositions containing caring components: vegetable oils, protein and keratin will help to avoid such an effect when coloring with blondes. Choose platinum, cool shades and paints marked "no yellow", and carefully study the instructions that came with them.

Hair lightening at home is a rather simple procedure.

Before staining, you must read the recommendations that are included in the paint package, prepare a container for diluting the dye with an oxidizing agent. If it is not included in the kit, purchase it, preferably from the same manufacturer. A special paint brush is available from cosmetic stores.

• Dilute the required amount of paint with an oxidizing agent of the desired percentage strictly according to the instructions. Mix right before staining - you cannot store the mixture in a diluted form. Please note that the composition must be free of lumps, otherwise the clarification will be uneven.
• Apply a greasy cream along the hairline. Protect the ear area.
• Apply the bleach evenly to unwashed, dry hair.
• Leave for the time specified in the instructions. It is forbidden to withstand the clarifier for more than 50 minutes, otherwise straw will turn out from the hair.
• Wash off with water, apply shampoo and rinse thoroughly.

So that over time, yellowness does not appear on the hair, wash curls with filtered water only. Lemon juice diluted in liquid will also help maintain the resulting color.

Black hair cannot be discolored in one application. Coloring is carried out in stages, alternating with leaving. In this case, the next staining should be carried out at least a week later. This technique helps to get a good result without harming the hair.

High-quality clarifiers always contain useful substances and oils, vegetable proteins and wax, extracts from plants.
