How to dye your hair cool blonde at home. “The Snow Queen”: how to achieve the perfect cool blonde shade? Professional and semi-professional paints

As you know, gentlemen prefer blondes. That is why millions of women around the world strive for the coveted blond curls, performing bleaching, highlighting and toning, even if it significantly harms the hair structure. Cold blonde has long been a stable trend among fair-haired ladies.

From time to time, wheat, honey and golden shades were introduced into fashion, but pearl and ash tones did not give up their primacy. How can you get a cool blonde that is so relevant at all times?

First of all, you should decide whether it is suitable for you personally. Cool shades suit those with fair skin with a slight natural blush. They also highlight blue, gray and emerald eyes.

If your eye color is brown, honey, tea, coffee or marsh, warm shades of blonde will be much more suitable for you. And if you are unable to decide on your own color type, ask the artist to mix warm and cold undertones. The resulting universal shade will definitely suit every beautiful lady.

“I want to be cooler,” or how to get rid of yellow hair

A cool shade is desired by almost every blonde who tries to keep up with fashion trends. However, cold blonde cannot be considered a fleeting trend - it has long become a canon and a stereotype of the ideal blonde lady.

Most often, women have no idea what beautiful shades abound in modern professional lines of toning products. Among them there are neutral champagne, warm vanilla, cold ice and natural iridescent beige.

Experts advise not to limit yourself to one tone in an effort to achieve a standard ashen hair tone. After all, by mixing different versions of pigments, you can achieve truly stunning and unique shades that cannot be repeated without knowing the proportions and paint numbers.

Palettes of cool blonde shades are also found in series offered by household paint manufacturers. However, very often such means distort the result, providing a completely different final tone that a woman wants to see on her head.

In addition, industrial paints are extremely difficult to remove, wash off, or cover with other means. Therefore, even those who still prefer to dye their hair in cool colors at home have long ago begun to resort to the use of professional cosmetic products.

You can achieve the desired hair color with an existing “blonde” using tinted shampoos and conditioners. However, even here no one can guarantee you the desired result. After tonic, professional dye may not work on your hair, and it will be almost impossible to correct the difficult situation.

If you overdo it with keeping the tonic on your hair, you can get the most unexpected shades - from bright “indigo” to dirty lilac. The safest in this regard is the ashen tint balm. But it can also give an unnecessary side effect in the form of greenery, especially if your original undertone is beige or light brown.

Professional dye is also notable for the fact that it is washed off extremely smoothly from the hair, leaving no traces or regrown roots. This is especially important for those who do not have the opportunity to constantly visit hairdressers and beauty salons to refresh and maintain the resulting color.

How to get the perfect blonde without yellow tint?

• The easiest way is to contact a competent and experienced colorist. In the salon you will be offered a palette of shades, and you can choose the optimal tone for yourself. Some masters manage to get sophisticated and add color correctors with black currant or red saffron flowers to give the resulting cold blonde unique grandeur and nobility;
• If your hair is dark, you will have to lighten it several shades first, depending on the depth and intensity of the original shade. This stage, alas, is impossible without the use of aggressive powder based on alkaline or ammonia - examples of effective “natural” lightening are still unknown in practice. However, in modern salons there are gentle techniques for coloring itself - 3D highlighting, shatush, bronding and others. They will help you become blonde without significant damage to the health and structure of your hair;
• Cool blonde dye may not be enough. The best neutralizer of unnecessary yellowness is a violet-colored corrector (mixton). He can also cope with the “quenching” of orange and copper tones when lightening brunettes;
• Some hairdressers strongly recommend that their blonde clients constantly use shampoos for cool shades of blonde. They are designed for regular care of bleached hair and delicately washing out yellowness from a noble light color. The Wella brand has such a shampoo. Due to its affordable cost and high quality, it is the most popular among consumers. You can also turn to the elite segment by purchasing products from “Sebastian Professional”, “Tony & Guy”, “Kerastase” and other selective brands;
• Adequate cleansing and care of hair is a must in maintaining a cool, ashy tone. Even if you had your makeup done by the most eminent stylist, used premium paint, or went to the most reputable beauty salon in your city - all this does not guarantee a fixed result. In simple terms, bleached hair is “empty”, i.e. have no pigment. But its absence is “compensated” by grease, dirt, dust and other “components”. This is what causes hair to turn yellow over time. Therefore, adequate care for blond hair must be carried out by you on an ongoing basis.

The conclusion is simple: in order to maintain an attractive shade of hair, it is important to properly care for it. And, since you have decided to have professional coloring, you should not use the so-called “ folk remedies"in hair treatment.

For example, the oil treatment so beloved by many can quickly “wash away” all the efforts of your master, and lemon masks for lightening are quite capable of providing you with that same yellowness that you so desperately sought the day before.

If your choice falls on an ash, platinum or pearl shade, you must understand that the hardest thing is not to get it, but to maintain it. Alas, soft tinting paints do not contain caustic substances. Of course, this is good for the health of your hair. But along with this bonus there is also a significant drawback - quick rinsing.

How to care for cool beige blonde hair?

• Wash your hair not according to a schedule, but strictly as it gets dirty;
• Avoid using regular shampoos sold in supermarkets and cosmetic stores. Otherwise, if you feel sorry for spending money on decent products, take those products whose packaging is marked “ for colored hair»;
• Before using honey masks, lemon lotions and chamomile rinses, check the advisability of their use with your specialist. They, of course, will not cause any harm, but they can spoil the previously painstakingly created shade;
• Visit your hairdresser regularly for toning;
• Remember or write down the proportions and numbers of colors that your colorist uses (especially if you plan to contact another specialist);
• Do not do it yourself and do not dye your hair at home, with the help of a friend or sister who does not have special skills. Getting the desired result is not always easy, so you shouldn’t take risks: subsequent correction of home experiments can cost you, your appearance and the health of your hair.

Let your blond locks shine with beauty and attract others with their noble icy shade!

MYTH: You can become a real blonde only in an expensive and prestigious beauty salon.


Reality: You can become a blonde at home if you know how the hair lightening process occurs.

So, you decided to become a blonde.
First step:

Determine your initial hair color (from which you will turn into blonde). This is very important in order to correctly select the intensity of the lightener and know what metamorphoses will occur in your hair before it becomes snow-white curls.

Experts distinguish 10 levels of hair lightness:

Level 1
Black

Level 2
Very dark brown (dark brown)

Level 3
Dark brown (dark blond)

Level 4
Medium brown (medium blond)

Level 5
Light brown (light brown)

Level 6
Dark blond (light brown)

Level 7
Medium blond (light blond)

Level 8
Light blond (blonde)

Level 9
Ultra light blond

Level 10
Platinum blonde (light, gray)

Clue:
In order to determine what level of lightness your hair is at, just look at any shade card (farb card), of which there are a great many on the counter of a perfumery and cosmetics store.
Please note that hair dye boxes have shade numbers. A dye numbered 6.0 is a lightness level of 6. Simply place a strand of hair against a strand of hair on the card and you will know what lightness level your shade is at.

Second step.

Two pigments are responsible for the natural color of our hair - eumelanin (brown-black pigment) and pheomelanin (yellow-red pigment). Mixing them creates a varied range of natural shades. If you want our hair to become lighter than its natural color, you must get rid of your dark pigments (lighten or bleach your hair).

Rule #1 Choose a lightener that suits your hair type.
Fourth step

Procedure for applying the brightening composition:

If you have dry hair, do not wash it before the procedure for 1-2 days - the fat with which your hair is lubricated will protect it from drying out.

The thinner the hair, the less bleaching composition is required.

The brightening composition must be prepared just before use, since the oxidation process begins immediately upon mixing, and after some time the intensity of the action of the brightening agent weakens.

To prevent irritation, the skin along the edges of hair growth can be lubricated with any greasy cream, oil or Vaseline.

Tools and accessories should not have metal parts, since when the bleaching composition interacts with metal, unwanted compounds appear that have a negative effect on the hair and the quality of bleaching. It is advisable to use only plastic or ceramic bowls.

When applying the lightening composition, the hair is divided into four parts: one parting is made from ear to ear, the other divides the head from the middle of the forehead to the middle of the neck. Apply the lightening composition from the back of the head, from below. The hair is parted using a comb, and the composition itself is applied with a brush. Hands must be protected with gloves. First, the lightening composition is applied to the occipital area, since it is colder and the lightening process occurs less intensely there, and then along the partings. It is better to apply the lightening composition to the temple part and the hair above the forehead last, since the hair there is the thinnest and it lightens very quickly. If you want to make some part of your hair lighter than the rest, then you need to start applying dye from this side.

The lightening composition must be applied quickly and accurately so that the lightening is uniform. The thicker and denser the hair, the thinner the strands on which the lightening composition is applied should be so that it can saturate each hair.

If the hair is lightened for the first time, the composition is first applied to the hair itself, left for 20-25 minutes, and only then the composition is applied to the root zone (about 3 cm) for another 10-15 minutes.

When re-lightening, first apply the composition to the root zone and then distribute it along the entire length of the hair, but try not to apply the composition to the ends of the hair to keep it alive. The normal frequency of lightening is once a month.

When the desired degree of lightening is achieved, emulsification occurs. To do this, a small amount of warm water is applied to the hair, slightly foamed and distributed over the entire surface of the head, while massaging movements are made along the edge of the hair growth line.
Emulsification is needed in order to easily remove the bleaching composition from the hair and give it shine. After this, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed with warm water.

Be sure to use a conditioner that will provide comprehensive care for bleached hair.

During the lightening procedure, treat yourself to a cup of coffee - this will speed up the process

Lighteners are just one of the tools needed to turn into an elegant blonde with luxurious snow-white curls, smooth and shiny like those of Hollywood beauties.

When we lighten our hair, we remove our natural pigments and the yellowness in the hair is the remnants of unbleached pigments. The darker the hair color, the more intense the yellowness will be.

So manufacturers of lighteners and hair dyes are not to blame for this.

By the way, light shades of permanent hair dyes (level III durability) lighten hair by 2 tones, but this is clearly not enough for dark hair.

Does this mean that it is generally impossible for dark-haired women to turn blonde?

With desire and skill, anything is possible, but you must be patient. Repeated lightening and an intermediate period, during which your hair will become lighter and lighter, but in an orange-ocher tones, as well as enhanced hair care (masks, nourishing compresses, conditioners) will be the tasks that you need to solve to turn into a blonde.

Strand test
We recommend that you, especially when using for the first time, first lighten one strand. You will see how your hair reacts, how quickly it lightens, what stages of color it goes through. In this way, you can avoid unpleasant surprises, since complex processes occur in the hair and the lightening emulsion during bleaching. And since everyone’s hair differs in both structure and quality of care, the lightening process occurs individually for each person.
Recommendations for using tinted shampoo to eliminate yellowness: 1. Unmistakable tones that give good results: platinum, silver, pearl. We recommend using the ash tone only on well-bleached hair (and if it is gray, then 50% gray), since the remaining yellow pigment on the hair, when mixed with the pigment of the ash-tinted shampoo, can give a green color.
2. Pour a little tint into the bath and mix with any shampoo for washing hair in a ratio of 1:3 (1 part - tint, 3 parts of any shampoo for washing hair).
3. Using gloved hands, apply the resulting mixture as quickly as possible to moistened and towel-dried hair.
4. Using a wide-tooth comb, separating strand by strand, distribute the product evenly throughout the hair (combing).
5. Leave for 1-3 minutes and rinse with plenty of running water.
Tint products do not contain ammonia or hydrogen peroxide, therefore they are absolutely harmless to hair. Tint products do not penetrate deeply into the hair, but only envelop it, so the color is not so durable, allowing you to experiment with different shades. On bleached hair, the color lasts longer, and immediately after bleaching, the hair absorbs the pigments contained in the tint product more intensely. The resulting shade remains on the hair for 6-8 washes, after which the procedure can be repeated.
hair lightening. My personal experience: Apply a cosmetic mixture of oils to your hair (grape seed, jojoba, natural essential oils: cedar, eucalyptus, orange, clary sage, thyme) buy ready-made at the pharmacy, then rinse (the hair remains a little greasy) and after that you can carry out the dyeing procedure without loss. I didn’t know how, so I found it, used it and am happy. Toned with Estel Solo 1.5 Silver-ash tonic.

If the hair is not damaged, the initial lightening with a tint tonic was carried out in advance and at least two weeks have passed since the first dyeing, you can begin to choose the main dye that will help you transform into a blonde. Many representatives of the fair sex ask their friends who have already used various formulations and strive to buy the highest quality and most effective substance. Of course, it is very good to have additional information, but you should understand that each person has an individual hair structure, so not all types of coloring products that suit one category of women may be ideal for another.

In order to dye your hair blonde yourself, it is recommended to purchase professional lightening products, which can be purchased in specialized stores that sell products for hairdressers. The most popular and high-quality products are the following brands:

• "Londa";
• "Estelle";
• "Vella."

Using the products of these companies and knowing that there is no need to rush at home, every girl can become an attractive blonde, without yellowness.

How to keep the desired shade for a long time

After the curls have acquired the desired color, you need to try to maintain it. To do this, you should apply the following procedures for colored hair:

• The water used for washing your hair must be boiled. It is not recommended to use running tap water for this procedure, as it may contain rust particles;
• You should not use a base of medicinal herbs for nourishing masks, namely chamomile and dandelion, as they can change the shade of light colors;
• In order to maintain a rich shade for a long time and not notice yellowness on your curls, you should use professional shampoos for blondes to wash your hair. They remove the yellow tint, making it platinum.

By following the rules of coloring and adhering to the recommendations - both for coloring and hair care - you can achieve a spectacular shade of blond in ordinary home conditions, which will be without yellowness.

Many men are simply crazy about blondes. Women with beautiful blond hair always attract attention, since their hair has a rare and bright color. It is absolutely not worth being surprised that a woman who wants change wants to become a blonde. A beautiful blonde hair color will help reveal your femininity and demonstrate your attractiveness to others. The main thing is to choose the right shade from the presented palette of coloring pigments.

Color Features

Blonde color is loved by many beauties. It allows the curls to open up during the sun's play, making the owner's image bright and stylish.

Advantages of dyeing in light colors:

• you become 5–10 years younger, since the blonde attracts attention, distracting from wrinkles and sagging facial skin;
• you can vary your image using different shades: “cold” blonde will make you confident, “warm” undertones will reveal your femininity, and peach, lilac or caramel notes will emphasize the extravagance of your image;
• each manufacturer offers a wide palette of blonde shades, so you can easily find your option;
• Bronding perfectly masks gray hair that is just beginning to emerge;
• Thanks to the stretching of the color, an increase in volume is created, and your hairstyle looks much fuller.

Among the disadvantages of dyeing blonde, one can highlight the aggressive effect of oxidizing agents on the structure of curls. Oxides remove their own pigment, making hair lifeless and devoid of moisture. If you do not carry out rehabilitation, then soon the curls will become lifeless and split like straw.

Who is it suitable for?

Each shade of blonde is advisable to use for girls of different color types. For example, for Summer and Autumn women who have peach, olive or tanned skin and bright, expressive blue, brown or green eyes, the following options are suitable:

• mocha;

Blonde beauties with green or blue eyes and porcelain skin Hairdressing experts recommend giving preference to the following tones:

• creamy;
• cold beige;
• pastel strawberry.

Be careful when choosing a shade, as a poorly chosen option can make your look faded, unattractive, or create an imbalance in your everyday look.

There are also universal colors that suit all color types. For example, golden blonde in the world of beauty is recognized as an expensive and luxurious shade that can decorate the face of any beauty.

Important point! If you dye your curls in cool shades of blonde yourself, then be sure to use a purple toner, the purpose of which is to remove yellowness. A 30-40 level toner is suitable for you. The product is washed off with plain water acidified with vinegar.

Women who prefer cool beige colors (ash, pearl) note that it is not possible to predict how the pigment will fall on their curls. In this matter, everything depends on the chosen dye, the original hair color, hormonal levels and the general health of the hair. That's why It is recommended to dye one strand to test the selected dye.

Popular shades

There are different variations of blonde color. Some shades, reminiscent of Barbie doll curls, are outdated. Others, on the contrary, are welcome in the modern world of beauty. It is important to choose a tone that is in maximum harmony with the color of your skin and eyes.

Cold blonde

Nordic blonde is the trend of this season. Famous models and celebrities dye their hair this color. But it is not suitable for everyone. For example, if a woman has dark skin, freckles, dark eye color and decides to dye her hair ash or pearl color, she risks losing her attractiveness.

Cool blonde is suitable for girls with light eyes and pale porcelain or pinkish skin. But brown-eyed beauties do not need to immediately discard this painting option. If they have a muted dark brown iris without golden splashes, then you can completely experiment.

A prominent representative of the “warm” blonde is the popular Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston. Her emerald eyes and tanned skin harmonize perfectly with her golden blonde. The actress hasn’t changed her hair color like this for ten years. This is not surprising, because the coloring creates the impression that a sunbeam has penetrated her curls, illuminating her hair with a beautiful warm color.

Caramel

We would recommend this color option to girls who plan to gradually transition from a darker color to blonde. He Suitable for those with dark skin, green, brown or gray eyes. Who knows, maybe after dyeing you will absolutely not want to become a blondie, giving preference to “sweet caramel” for your next dyeing.

Wheat

The color harmonizes well with fair skin and bright eyes of any color. It is desirable that the eyebrows of girls who want to wear this particular tone be wide and with a clear line. Women of the Winter and Summer color types are not recommended to use wheat color, because they risk looking faded and unattractive.

Sandy blonde is formed on the basis of two shades: cold and golden. Stylists advise painting in warm undertones in the winter, and creating “cold” looks in the summer, attracting the attention of others to your appearance in the hot season.

For those with dark eyes, it is advisable to choose darker shades, for example, wet sand, but for blue-eyed and green-eyed beauties, we would recommend experimenting with golden notes.

Beige

A pure beige tone in the palette of coloring pigment manufacturers is very rare, because even in nature it is difficult to meet a girl with natural beige curls. As a rule, this tone is complemented by sandy notes.

This option fits perfectly on dark brown and reddish hair. Women who choose light beige often face the problem of a yellow tint. The way out of the situation is to use a toner or add a little pearlescent color corrector during coloring.

Filthy

It is a symbiosis of light with gray, brown or other dark shades. Suitable for bright women whose skin will emit a slight shimmer when exposed to the sun. Do not use this option under any circumstances if you belong to the Winter or Spring color type.

Suitable for both fair-haired and dark-haired beauties. You can choose between dark or light mocha. Various color variations suit everyone, whether you have delicate porcelain or dark tanned skin.

Peach

Gold

A luxurious tone that suits many. Even true blondes can experiment a little with their usual color, creating a hairstyle using the technique of balayage, majimesh, Californian or Venetian highlights with golden notes. Dynamism and volume due to such painting are ensured.

Silver

It is a shade of cool color. The hair acquires a light pearlescent tint with blue, somewhat reminiscent of luxurious gray hair. Today, the color is at the peak of popularity.

Vanilla

One of the most popular shades of the outgoing season. Muted vanilla requires regular touch-ups, so if you choose this color, you will have to visit the hairdresser almost every month.

If you don't know whether to choose a warm or cool shade, do a quick test. Stand near a mirror in a lighted room and highlight a section of hair. If it reflects gold, red, red or brown undertones, warm colors will suit you. And, conversely, silver, ash, gray and other notes indicate that it is more advisable to color your curls in a cold range.

Coloring at home

Recently, coloring has become popular when the hair roots are several shades darker than the base color distributed along the length of the curls. This coloring option will make your bow more natural and slightly careless. It will suit both feminine ladies and girls who profess kitsch style.

Besides, The best option during dyeing is considered to be color stretching, when each curl smoothly flows from a darker tone to a lighter one. It can be performed using various patented techniques, which are known to us under various names: balayage, ombre, shatush, Venetian highlighting. But this does not change the essence.

Technique for dyeing blonde “color stretching”:

1. Choose several paint options. In this case, the tones should not move away from each other by 2 positions. It is best to purchase a lightener and color corrector.
2. Prepare the dye according to the instructions.
3. Comb your hair thoroughly and divide your hair into zones. You should always start from the back of the head, since this is where the pigment on the curls takes the longest to activate.
4. It is advisable to comb each selected strand. The lightest color is applied to the bottom, starting approximately from the line of the shoulders or ears, depending on the length of the hair. If desired, you can wrap this area in foil, which will allow the color to appear more vibrantly.
5. A darker tone is applied just above the painted area, shading it from top to bottom (from the roots to the other colored area). If your natural color is quite light, do not come close to the scalp, but rather step back a few centimeters.
6. In a similar way, I comb and dye the rest of my hair, completing the procedure at the temples.
7. Wait for the time specified by the manufacturer.
8. The dye is washed off and restorative therapy occurs - conditioner, hair mask, vitamin cocktails.
9. If necessary, to get rid of yellowness, use a tinting agent with anti-yellow pigment. It is advisable for them to wash their hair the next day after dyeing.

Expert advice. If you want to do a complete coloring from roots to ends, simply apply most of the prepared dye to the roots, and then comb the curls to distribute the pigment along the entire length. They always start from the back of the head, moving towards the temples.

Coloring in the salon

Bronding is a very popular service, because many women want to look stylish, feminine and charming. The cost of regular blonde dyeing costs about 2–2.5 thousand rubles. If you want to resort to modern coloring techniques (shatush, ombre, balayage, mazhimesh, majicontrast, etc.), you will have to shell out about 4-5 thousand rubles, because creating a stylish hairstyle is quite painstaking work that takes the master several hours .

The cost of the service is affected by:

• prestige of the salon;
• the length of your curls;
• the need for restorative therapy;
• chosen dyeing technique;
• used correctors and oxidizers;
• the need to wash off the previous color.

When dyeing blonde in some colors, for example, strawberry, peach, caramel and others, over time the main color is washed out, and an unpleasant yellowness remains on the curls. Salons offer a tinting procedure once a month to maintain the beauty of the color. Express toning involves applying special products with the desired shade to the curls for only 5–7 minutes. Such rehabilitation, unlike the bronding itself, is practically harmless.

Caring for bleached hair

Of course, in most cases, women have to significantly lighten their curls in order to achieve the long-awaited white color. Of course, when exposed to lighteners, as well as permanent dyes, curls are subject to significant shaking.

Important point! If you do not properly restore them in time, then in a few weeks you can turn from a luxurious blonde into a woman with sticking out, split and burnt hair.

Care Tips:

• buy a special shampoo from the series “For highlighted hair”, “For bleached hair” or “For colored hair”;
• After washing your hair, be sure to moisturize your curls with a rinse balm (apply not to wet, but slightly moistened curls);
• once a week, nourish your scalp and curls with vitamins A, C, E, purchased in ampoules at the pharmacy;
• regularly (1 or 2 times a week) make homemade restorative masks based on honey, olive oil, coconut, egg yolk, herbal decoctions and other healing gifts of nature;
• dry your hair naturally, and if you absolutely cannot do without a hairdryer, use cold air directed from top to bottom;
• do not forget to wear hats when in the sun;
• It is forbidden to wash your curls every day, otherwise you will very quickly wash off the coloring pigment;
• eat right, because hair health comes from within;
• To maintain color and eliminate yellow pigment, use a tinting agent every third wash to eliminate yellow pigment or maintain warm shades - honey, caramel, mocha.

The first thing that all future blondies should know: natural dark pigment is very difficult to remove, so it is unlikely that you can achieve the desired result in one procedure. The more saturated the color of the curls, the less susceptible it will be to lightening. On average, to obtain a golden hue, 3-4 procedures lasting at least half an hour each are required.

Before you decide to dye your hair from brunette to blonde, you should realize the fact that your regrown roots will have to be lightened regularly. As a rule, the hairstyle needs adjustment within 3 weeks after visiting the hairdresser.

Blonding can be done both at home and in a beauty salon, with the help of a specialist. However, in this case, this is a double-edged sword: performing the procedure yourself does not guarantee the quality of the result, although it significantly saves money. In addition, in the absence of professional knowledge and skills, you can simply ruin your hair. But a trip to the salon will allow you to get a wonderful light shade of curls, but it will cost you a pretty penny.

What problems may arise during the procedure?

If your hair has previously been exposed to chemical dyes, then the transition from brunette to blonde may not go as smoothly as you would like. Artificial piment accumulates at the ends of the strands, while it is absent at the roots. This is due to hair growth, which, moreover, is not always uniform. When applying a blonding agent, you can get different results in different areas of your curls. For example, at the roots the hair will become light, and at the ends it will become fiery red. Young ladies who very often experiment with the shade of their hairstyle fall into a special risk group. With regular dyeing, several layers of artificial pigment remain in the hair. Each of them may react differently to the lightening agent, leaving behind a “leopard effect.” Therefore, turning from a dyed brunette to a blonde should be done with extreme caution.

It would seem, then why should owners of natural hair color be afraid? In fact, problems may arise for them too. The fact is that, thanks to the heat generated by the scalp, the lightening process at the roots of the hair occurs faster than at the ends. Therefore, if you neglect this nuance, you can get an uneven color. To avoid this, the root zone is treated with a bleaching agent at the very end. Wearing a plastic cap is not recommended - this can damage your hair.

A little about the disadvantages of lightening

The bitter fate of dyed blond beauties is that they receive an attractive appearance in exchange for the health of their hair. Having turned from a brunette to a blonde, you can forget about manageable hair. Lightened curls begin to be much more difficult to style. In addition, they become more rigid, so there is a need for constant use of various balms and masks. This also leads to tangling of the strands. Hair that has been bleached is less combable, especially at the ends.

But the main drawback of bleaching is that this procedure makes the hair weak. Strong and healthy curls are a thing of the past. Hair may begin to fall out more than usual and may become brittle and dry.

Side effects of lightening dark strands lead to the need for more careful hair care. To keep blonde curls in an attractive condition, you will have to put in a lot of effort by performing a number of daily procedures.

Preparing for coloring

Before transforming from a brunette to a blonde, you should definitely do an allergic reaction test. The chemical components in bleach can cause a burning sensation on the scalp, leading to inflammation. In addition, if you have a severe allergy, you risk simply losing your hair. The test is performed on a small area of ​​skin behind the ear or on the wrist. A small amount of blonding agent is applied to the selected area. After about half an hour, the composition can be washed off. If the skin does not turn red within 24 hours, and no signs of burning or itching appear, then you can safely begin the coloring procedure. Otherwise, bleaching is strictly contraindicated for you.

It is not recommended to perform a coloring session on freshly washed hair. It is better to perform water procedures about 2-3 days before the moment when you plan to transform from a dark-haired beauty into a blond diva, or vice versa, from a blonde to a brunette. Dye is a chemical reagent that negatively affects the condition of hair and skin. And the fat secreted by the epidermis acts as a protective mechanism that reduces this harmful effect. When washing your hair, shampoo removes all remaining sebum, thereby disarming the hair. In this case, you risk burning your hair or even getting a chemical burn. Therefore, it is better to wash your hair after the procedure.

Choosing a blonde product

There are paints for household and professional use. First blonders are widely available in most supermarkets and cosmetics stores. They, as a rule, are not very expensive, which attracts potential consumers. It is worth noting that this is not the best option for ladies planning to transform from brunette to blonde. Reviews from hairdressers in this case are categorical: they strongly recommend purchasing professional products. There are two reasons for this opinion: firstly, household paints do not guarantee the desired shade, as well as its durability. Well, secondly, professional blonders have a less aggressive effect on the hair than mass-market products. Thus, in household products there is an increased oxygen content (6-9%). This substance practically burns your hair from the inside, so with one application of this dye you can say goodbye to soft shiny curls. Professional blonde products usually come with a separate packet of oxygen, the concentration of which does not exceed 3%. In addition, the paint itself is packaged in convenient tubes with marks that make it easier to work with the composition. Based on the scale, you can easily dilute the product with the activator, observing the required proportions.

If you still decide to turn from a brunette to a blonde using household paint, then it would be advisable to give preference to a product with a 6% oxygen content. When purchasing a product in a professional store, you should select the components of the lightening composition separately. For home coloring you need Supra, as well as liquid oxygen. The first product is a blue lightening powder. As for liquid oxygen, it is sold in 1.5 liter bottles or on tap. The amount of product purchased must be adjusted depending on how long you plan to remain blonde. If lightening is only a temporary experiment, then a whole bottle of oxygen is simply not needed in this case.

Blonde can be different

It is equally important to decide on a shade that will help you change your color from brunette to blonde. Photo catalogs with color palettes are usually available from every hair dye manufacturer. All shades are divided into warm and cold. The first include colors with soft golden tints. Cool shades are represented by ashy and pinkish tones. Depending on the color of your eyes, you should choose the tone of your future blonde. However, it is necessary to take into account that cold colors require the regular use of toning shampoos that neutralize yellowness.

Becoming blonde at home: primary lightening

Of course, not only professionals can do coloring. You can lighten your hair at home, however, this requires patience and a certain set of knowledge. To achieve golden curls on your own, you need to have basic information on how to dye your hair from brunette to blonde, and also be prepared for possible mistakes.

So, after all the products have been purchased, they need to be mixed. The composition is prepared as follows: 1 part supra to 2 parts liquid oxygen. The components must be mixed in a plastic container immediately before starting the procedure. Hands should be protected with plastic gloves, and shoulders with a peignoir.

Next, the hair is divided into four zones. To begin with, a central vertical parting is made, and then another one is made from ear to ear through the crown. The hair in each zone is fixed with clips. You can start coloring from the occipital or parietal region, depending on which is more convenient for you. Using a plastic or wooden comb, it is necessary to separate a thin strand of hair and generously lubricate it with a lightening composition, retreating 2-3 cm from the root zone. The rest of the hair is processed in the same way, as a result of which the transformation from brunette to blonde occurs. Before and after applying the composition, hair should be combed well.

It is important to ensure that the movements are very fast and precise. This is necessary for uniform coloring. During primary lightening, the composition is not applied to the hair roots, since in this area the chemical reaction occurs faster due to the heat of the scalp. The blonder should be left on the hair for 30 minutes, after which it can be washed off. The duration of the session should be counted from the moment the composition is applied to all curls.

Re-blonding

1-2 weeks after the first procedure, you can lighten your hair again. The steps must be repeated with the only difference: after all the strands have been processed, the composition is applied to the root zone. This time the hair should already lighten, and if everything is done correctly, the shade will become uniform. Dark-haired ladies interested in how to transition from brunette to blonde should take into account that too rich natural pigment requires longer exposure to the composition. This means that half an hour may not be enough to lighten coarse black locks. In this case, the blonding composition is left on the hair for up to 60 minutes.

After washing off the brightening agent, you can evaluate the result. If the shade turns out to be darker than desired, then after a while a third procedure is carried out. For very dark natural hair, up to 5-6 sessions may be needed.

Complete lightening: white curls in one procedure

If the desire to achieve golden hair haunts you, and you don’t want to wait a few weeks, you can perform a complete lightening. However, it is worth clarifying that such an experiment at home will not bear good fruit. Yellowish, overdried and completely unnatural curls - this is what such a transformation from brunette to blonde will lead to. Photos with the results of such procedures prove that it is better to wait a little than to lose beautiful hair.

The best solution for impatient young ladies is to go to a professional hairdresser. The specialist uses several formulations that differ in concentration to treat the entire length of the curls. As a result, you will get the desired light shade. The only drawback of this option is that completely lightening your hair in a salon will cost you quite a large sum.

Step-by-step lightening: a gentle method

Transforming into a blond beauty in just a few procedures allows for minimal damage to your hair. For those who are interested in whether it is possible to dye your hair from brunette to blonde while maintaining the beautiful appearance of your hair, this is the best option. A composition of reduced concentration is applied to the strands, as a result of which the pigment is lightened by only a few tones.

After the first dyeing, the curls will receive a not very pleasant copper tint, perhaps slightly yellowish. Then the specialist tints the hair to make the color more even. In addition, yellowness is neutralized in this way. The following procedure can be performed no earlier than a week later. At the same time, it is worth observing how the hair behaves. If they begin to fall out a lot, then it is better to wait a while with repeated lightening. Dyeing the curls to the desired blonde will occur approximately in the third or fourth procedure.

Highlighting: a great alternative to conventional lightening

Not all young ladies are suited to be platinum blondes. Often this coloring looks unnatural and even slightly vulgar. The ideal way to lighten your hair and maintain a natural look is to transform from a brunette to a blonde with highlights. Recently, this technique has become very popular among beauties of all ages. Highlighting has several advantages:

The procedure practically does not damage the hair.

The hairstyle looks natural due to the presence of dark strands.

Coloring does not require frequent adjustments, since the regrown roots are almost invisible. In addition, professional stylists recommend not touching the roots when performing highlighting - this is very modern.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the cost of the procedure. Compared to conventional lightening, highlighting is pleasantly cheap for salon clients.

How to remove yellowness?

If everything is more or less simple with warm blondes, then owners of cool shades have to regularly fight to maintain the desired result. The yellowness that appears from time to time is simply a disaster for white curls with an ashen tint. Therefore, it is worth getting a toning product immediately after switching from brunette to blonde. Photos in various magazines are filled with divas with beautiful platinum locks, but is it possible to maintain this shade forever? This is quite possible if you use tinting paint several times a month. It is necessary to purchase a product of a purple hue - this color perfectly covers the yellowness. To avoid dark spots on your hair, the tinting dye must be diluted with water, and after the procedure, the curls must be rinsed thoroughly.

There are also products that promise to permanently rid hair of unwanted yellowness. However, the effectiveness of such products has not been proven.

Mass market lovers have long been actively advertising shampoos designed specifically for blondes. Under no circumstances should such products be used to remove yellowness. And in general, only “warm” blondes can use them. Shampoos from similar series give the hair a slightly golden tint.

From all of the above, we can conclude that tinting paints are the best way to neutralize yellowness for ladies who have turned from brunette to blonde. Reviews about it are positive, and the effect is obvious.

As they say, beauty requires sacrifice. And new blondes are no exception in this case - they have to pay with the health of their hair for their new image. However, sacrifices in the name of beauty can be minimized if you properly care for colored locks. To maintain an attractive and healthy appearance of bleached hair, hairdressers recommend taking note of several rules:

Use hair care products designed specifically for colored hair.

Regularly nourish and moisturize your hair with masks and natural oils.

Styling with a hairdryer and straightening should only be done using heat protectants.

During the warm season, apply cosmetic products with UV filters to your hair.

Use chamomile decoction to rinse your hair.

These tips are simply irreplaceable for those who want to know how to properly dye their hair from brunette to blonde. After all, being a blond beauty is not just pleasure, but also a lot of work on your hair. Otherwise, you can burn your healthy and shiny hair, damaging its structure, which will then be very difficult to restore.

Conclusion

Blonding is the etching of pigment from the hair with chemicals, so in any case it is a shock to the hair. If you want to achieve a beautiful and uniform shade, then do not rush, approach this issue with patience and prudence. You will have to spend a lot of money and time, but the result will be above all praise.

If you are looking for a change in your appearance, then you can safely consider changing your hair color from brunette to blonde. Photos of many famous women prove that even the darkest-haired young ladies have light curls. The right shade and skillfully done blonde can give you the hairstyle you may have always dreamed of.
