Fashionable shades for dyeing blonde hair. How to dye your hair blonde without yellowness

No matter what they say, being a blonde is a pleasure! Yes, it requires a special, more careful attitude to the hair and requires more time for care, but the result is worth it!

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 takes place.

So, you have decided to become a blonde.

First step:

Determine your original hair color (from which you will turn into a blonde). This is very important in order to choose the right intensity of the clarifier and know what metamorphoses will happen to your hair before it becomes snow-white curls.

Experts identify 10 levels of hair lightness:

	1 level	Black
	2 level	Very dark brown (dark brown)
	3 level	Dark brown (dark blond)
	4th level	Medium brown (medium blond)
	5th level	Light brown (blond)
	6th level	Dark blonde (light brown)
	7th level	Medium blond (light blond)
	8 level	Light blond (blonde)
	9th level	Ultra light blonde
	level 10	Platinum blonde (lightness, gray hair)

Clue:
In order to determine at what level of lightness your hair is, just look at any shade map (farb-map), of which there are a great many on the counter of a perfumery and cosmetics store.
Please note that there are shade numbers on the boxes of hair dyes. Dye number 6.0 is lightness level 6. Simply place a strand of hair against a strand of hair on the card and you'll 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). Their mixing forms a diverse range of natural shades. If you want our hair to become lighter than natural color, you must get rid of your dark pigments (lighten or bleach your hair).

Rule?1 Choose a bleach for your hair type.

Third step

The hair is damaged. (Dry, porous hair lightens too quickly, resulting in blotchy lightening). Repair your hair with conditioner, medicated shampoos, hair masks

On the scalp, wounds, inflammation

Pregnancy

Menstruation

Poor health (high temperature speeds up the process and distorts the result of clarification)

Bad mood (through the nerve fibers, your condition will be transmitted to the hair)

On an empty stomach (the circulatory system will inform the hair that, first of all, the body needs nutrition, and not magical transformations at all)

After a perm (at least two weeks must elapse between perm and lightening)

The hair is already dyed with another dye (if it is vegetable dyes, such as henna and basma, you risk becoming red like an orange).

At home, the transformation into a blonde should occur gradually. When choosing a dye, you need to make a diagnosis of your hair, determining the percentage of gray hair, and remembering how long ago the dye was applied to the hair. Any dye, tint foam or henna, remains in the hair structure. When lightening, this can play a fatal role. For the complete disappearance of the pigment, about one and a half months or even more should pass. After this period, you can become a blonde.

Fourth step

The procedure for applying a brightening composition:

If you have dry hair, do not wash it for 1-2 days before the procedure - the fat that is applied to the hair will prevent it from drying out.

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

The clarifying composition must be prepared just before use, since the oxidation process begins immediately upon mixing, and after a while the intensity of the effect of the clarifier weakens.

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

Tools and accessories should not have metal parts, since when the brightening composition interacts with metal, undesirable compounds appear that adversely affect the hair and the quality of the lightening. It is desirable to use only plastic or ceramic bowls.

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

It is necessary to apply the brightening composition quickly and accurately so that the lightening is uniform. The thicker and thicker the hair, the thinner should be the strands on which the brightening composition is applied 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, kept 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, the composition is first applied to the root zone, and then distributed along the entire length of the hair, but try not to apply the composition to the ends of the hair to keep them alive. Normal is the frequency of clarification once a month.

When the desired degree of clarification is reached, emulsification is performed. 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 marginal hairline. Emulsification is needed in order to easily remove the clarifying composition from the hair and give it shine. After that, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed with warm water.

Be sure to use a balm conditioner, which will provide comprehensive care for bleached hair.

Fifth step

WHY YELLOW APPEARS WHEN LIGHTENING AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT

Highlighters are just one of the tools needed to transform into an elegant blonde with luxurious snow-white curls that are smooth and shiny like Hollywood beauties.

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

So the manufacturers of brighteners and hair dyes are innocent of this.

By the way, light shades of persistent hair dyes (III level of 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 into a blonde?

With desire and skill - everything 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-buff color, 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 on the first application, lighten one strand first. 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 take place in the hair and the brightening emulsion during bleaching. And since everyone's hair differs both in structure and in the quality of care for them, the process of lightening for each person occurs individually.

CHEAP YELLOW AND NOBLE BLONDE

Rules for toning yellowness.
It must be understood that the clarifier is one of the tools for turning a dark-haired beauty into a blonde. The second necessary tool is tinting agents.

In order to remove unwanted yellowness in the hair, let's look at the Oswald color wheel and the rules for neutralizing pigments. Three primary colors - red, blue, yellow. Complementary colors are formed by mixing primary colors - purple, orange, green.

Opposite colors cancel each other out. So, in our case, purple is opposite the yellow color. So, it is he who we need to eliminate the yellowness of bleached hair.

Mix tones are able to drown out any unwanted shade. Blue is used to reduce reds, oranges and yellows, yellow is used to intensify color from light chestnut to light blond, red is used to intensify color from brown to dark blond, etc.

Recommendations for the use of tinted shampoo "IRIDA-M Classic" to eliminate yellowness:
1. Unmistakable tones that give a good result: platinum, silver, pearl. We recommend using an ashy tone only on well-lightened hair (and if it is gray hair, then from 50% gray hair), since the remnants of the yellow pigment on the hair, when mixed with the pigment of the ashen tint 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. With gloved hands, apply the resulting mixture as quickly as possible to moistened and towel-dried hair.
4. With a comb with rare teeth, separating strand by strand, evenly distribute the product through the hair (combing).
5. Hold 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. Tinting products do not penetrate deep 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 perceives the pigments contained in the tint more intensively. The resulting shade remains on the hair for 6-8 washes, after which the procedure can be repeated.

A new hairstyle can not only refresh the face, but also create a radically different image. And what is better for such purposes than a change in hair color? This article will focus on dark-haired young ladies who have decided to acquire white curls. Unlike other types of staining, clarification requires a particularly competent approach. In order for the transformation from a brunette to a blonde to be successful, a lot of important nuances must be observed.

Features of lightening dark strands

The first thing that all future blondies should know is that natural dark pigment is very difficult to remove, so it is unlikely to achieve the desired result in one procedure. The richer the color of the curls, the worse it will lend itself 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 repaint from brunette to blonde, you should be aware of the fact that regrown roots will have to be lightened regularly. As a rule, the hairstyle needs to be adjusted already 3 weeks after visiting the hairdresser.

Blonding can be performed both at home and in a beauty salon, with the help of a master. However, in this case this is a double-edged sword: the independent implementation of the procedure 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 going 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 we 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 parts of the curls. For example, at the roots, the hair will become light, and at the ends - fiery red. Young ladies fall into a special risk group, very often experimenting with a shade of their hairstyle. With regular dyeing, several layers of artificial pigment remain in the hair at once. Each of them can react differently to the effect of a brightening 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 the owners of a natural shade of hair be afraid? In fact, they may also have problems. The fact is that due to the heat that the scalp emits, the process of lightening at the roots of the hair occurs faster than at the tips. Therefore, if you neglect this nuance, you can get an uneven color. To avoid this, the root zone is treated with a blonding agent at the very end. Wearing a plastic cap is not recommended - this can ruin your hair.

A little about the cons of lighting

The bitter fate of dyed blond beauties is that they get an attractive appearance in exchange for the health of their hair. Having turned from a brunette to a blonde, you can forget about obedient hair. Lightened curls begin to succumb to styling much worse. 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 undergone lightening is less combable, especially at the ends.

But the main disadvantage of blonding 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, as well as become brittle and dry.

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

Preparation for staining

Before transforming from a brunette to a blonde, you should definitely do an allergy test. The chemicals in bleach can sting your scalp, leading to inflammation. In addition, with severe allergies, you risk simply losing your hair. The test is done 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 during the day the skin does not turn red, and there are no signs of burning or itching, then you can safely proceed to the staining procedure. Otherwise, blonding is strictly contraindicated for you.

A staining session is not recommended for freshly washed curls. Better 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. Paint is a chemical reagent that adversely affects the condition of hair and skin. And the fat secreted by the epidermis acts as a protective mechanism that reduces this harmful effect. During shampooing, the shampoo removes all remnants of 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 bleach

There are paints for domestic and professional use. The first blonders are widely available in most supermarkets and cosmetics stores. They, as a rule, do not differ in high cost, which attracts potential consumers. It is worth noting that this is not the best option for ladies planning to go from brunette to blonde. Reviews of 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. So, in household products there is an increased content of oxygen (6-9%). This substance practically burns the hair from the inside, so in one application of such a paint you can say goodbye to soft shiny curls. Professional blonding products are usually accompanied separately by a bag of oxygen, the concentration of which does not exceed 3%. In addition, the paint itself is packaged in convenient tubes with labels that make it easier to work with the composition. Focusing on the scale, you can easily dilute the agent with the activator, observing the necessary proportions.

If you still decide to turn from a brunette to a blonde with household paint, then it would be advisable to give preference to a product with a 6% oxygen content. When purchasing goods in a professional store, it is worth choosing the components of the brightening composition separately. For home staining, supra is needed, as well as liquid oxygen. The first tool is a light blue powder. As for liquid oxygen, it is sold in bottles of 1.5 liters or on tap. The amount of the purchased product must be adjusted depending on how long you plan to stay blonde. If lightening is just a temporary experiment, then a whole bottle of oxygen is simply not needed in this case.

Blonde is different

It is equally important to decide on a shade that will help you go from brunette to blonde. Photo catalogs with color palettes are usually present with every hair dye manufacturer. All shades are divided into warm and cold. The first are colors with soft golden tints. Cold shades are represented by ashen and pinkish scales. Depending on the color of the eyes, it is worth choosing the tone of the future blond. However, it must be taken into account that cold scales require the regular use of tinting shampoos that neutralize yellowness.

Becoming a blonde at home: primary lightening

Of course, coloring is not only for professionals. 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 funds are purchased, they must be mixed. The composition is prepared as follows: 1 part supra to 2 parts liquid oxygen. The components must be mixed in a plastic bowl immediately before the start of the procedure. Hands should be protected with polyethylene 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 - from ear to ear through the crown. Hair on each zone is fixed with clips. You can start staining from the occipital or parietal region, depending on how it is more convenient for you. With the help of a plastic or wooden comb, it is necessary to separate a thin strand of hair and generously lubricate it with a clarifying 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 a brunette to a blonde takes place. Before and after applying the composition, the hair should be combed well.

It is important to ensure that the movements are very fast and precise. This is necessary for uniform staining. During the initial clarification, the composition is not applied to the hair roots, since in this zone the chemical reaction occurs faster due to the heat of the scalp. The blonding agent should be kept 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 actions should be repeated with the only difference: after all the strands have been processed, the composition is also applied to the root zone. This time, the hair should already brighten, and if everything is done correctly, then the shade will become uniform. Dark-haired ladies who are interested in how to go from brunette to blonde should take into account that too saturated natural pigment requires a longer exposure to the composition. This means that half an hour may not be enough for tight black curls to lighten. In this case, the blond composition is left on the hair for up to 60 minutes.

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

Complete lightening: white curls in one treatment

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

The best solution for impatient young ladies is going to a professional hairdresser. The specialist uses several compositions that differ in concentration to process the entire length of the curls. As a result, you will get the desired light shade. The only drawback of this option is that the complete lightening of the hair in the salon will cost you a rather large amount.

Gradual clarification: a gentle way

Turning into a blond beauty in a few procedures allows you to minimally injure your hair. For those who are wondering if it is possible to go from brunette to blonde while maintaining a beautiful hair look, 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 staining, the curls will receive a not very pleasant copper tint, perhaps slightly yellowish. Then the master tints the hair to make the color more even. In addition, yellowness is neutralized in this way. The next procedure can be performed no earlier than a week later. In this case, it is worth observing how the hair behaves. If they began to fall out strongly, then it is better to wait a little with re-lightening. Coloring curls in the desired blond will occur approximately in the third or fourth procedure.

Highlighting: a great alternative to conventional lightening

Not all young ladies are going to be platinum blondes. Often this coloring looks unnatural and even slightly vulgar. The ideal way to lighten your hair and keep the look natural is to transform from a brunette to a blonde with highlights. IN Lately This technique is 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.

Staining does not need frequent adjustments, since the regrown roots are almost invisible. In addition, professional stylists even recommend not to touch the roots when 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 the owners of cold shades have to regularly fight to maintain the desired result. From time to time, yellowness that appears is just a disaster for white curls with an ashy tint. Therefore, it is worth getting a tinting agent immediately after the transition from a brunette to a blonde. Photos in various magazines are filled with divas with beautiful platinum curls, but is it possible to maintain this shade forever? This is quite realistic if you use tinting paint several times a month. It is necessary to purchase a tool of a purple hue - this color perfectly covers the yellowness. In order not to get dark spots on the hair, the tinting paint must be diluted with water, and after the procedure, the curls should be rinsed thoroughly.

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

For lovers of the mass market, shampoos designed specifically for blondes have long been actively advertised. In no case should such funds be used to remove yellowness. And in general, they can only be used by "warm" blondes. Shampoos from these series give the hair a slightly golden hue.

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

As they say, beauty requires sacrifice. And the newly-made blondes in this case are no exception - 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 dyed curls. To maintain an attractive and healthy look of bleached hair, hairdressers recommend taking note of a few rules:

Use hair care products designed specifically for colored curls.

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

Blow-dry and flat-iron only with heat protectants.

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

Use a decoction of chamomile to rinse curls.

These tips are simply indispensable 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 a pleasure, but also a lot of work on your hair. Otherwise, you can burn your healthy and shiny hair, violating their 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 take your time, 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 craving a change in your image, then you can safely think about how to dye your hair from a brunette to a blonde. Photos of many famous women prove that even the darkest-haired young ladies have blond curls to face. The right shade and skillfully executed blond can give you the hairstyle you may have always dreamed of.

Every woman feels much more confident if her hair is well-groomed and attractive. For a modern woman, the issue of changing hair color is not a problem; ladies skillfully cope with dyeing even at home. However, sometimes it happens that the result obtained does not meet expectations, and the hair does not acquire the shade that was planned. Trying to lighten their hair, women often get a straw yellow effect instead of a beautiful blonde.

In order to eliminate such troubles, we recommend that you carefully study all types of hair dyes offered by modern manufacturers. You should also take into account reviews from the fair sex, who managed to change their hair color without the appearance of yellowness. We offer you a complete review of colors for blondes without yellowness.

Why does yellowness appear when stained?

Hair coloring can drastically change your appearance. In order for the color "blond" to emphasize all the advantages of a woman's face, you need to know all the nuances of this procedure.

The main causes of yellowness after lightening hair:

The color of the dye that was previously on the hair.
General condition of the hairline.
A large amount of natural dark pigment in the hair.

The main reason for the appearance of yellowness during staining is the presence of a dark pigment that has not completely discolored when lightened. Sometimes, as a result of exposure to dyes, the hair loses its brightness, but does not completely discolor.

Coloring agents

Any cosmetics has its advantages and disadvantages, this rule also applies to hair coloring products. Dye your hair with the help of such means:

tinting foam;
gel for coloring;
special tinting shampoos;
cream paints.

The most suitable cosmetics for blondes are tinted shampoos that perfectly cope with yellowness after dyeing. Special gels update the shade of the hair, changing it to two tones. However, gels do not change the main color, they only update it a little. The main advantage of coloring gels is the long-term effect after applying the product.

To obtain a lasting bright color, special cream paints are used. In order to exclude the appearance of yellowness on the hair, it is recommended to give preference to colder ashy tones. As for the tinting foam, it is used after clarification to slightly change the resulting shade.

Recommendations from experts on how to keep a clean tone when staining

Use only clean (preferably boiled) water for washing, as rusty water can change the color of the hair.
Buy only high-quality paint from reputable manufacturers.
Avoid using cosmetics containing herbal decoctions - shampoos, masks and conditioners with dandelion or chamomile extract can cause a yellowish tint.
To preserve the color, use only professional shampoos, which should be used once a week - in this case, the shade will remain attractive for a long period of time.
Use hair dryers, curlers, and curlers only as a last resort, as frequent use of these devices can damage your hair. Also, do not forget to take care of your hair with the help of special thermal protective cosmetics, which are available on the market in the form of gels, balms or sprays.
Protect your hair from aggressive influences environment- wind, ultraviolet rays, temperature changes.
When buying coloring agents, pay attention to their color - paints with a colorless consistency do not cause yellowness.

How to bleach your hair the right way

Women with naturally blond hair can start coloring their hair without prior bleaching. Owners of red, dark blond, brown and black hair will have to bleach their hair beforehand in order to avoid the appearance of unwanted yellowness in the future.

Bleaching is the lightening of the natural pigment in the hair. After such a procedure, you can proceed to the main hair coloring, a shade of yellowness will not appear on bleached hair. It is best to lighten your hair in a beauty salon, with the help of an experienced hairdresser - this will help you save your hair. As for staining, this procedure can be carried out independently, at home.

Modern cosmetics manufacturers offer various types of paints suitable for both professional and home use. Before purchasing any hair dye, you should carefully study the manufacturer's instructions in order to get a guaranteed high-quality result. The package must be marked "no yellowness". Such marking is most often found on cold platinum and ashy shades, and warm colors (honey, wheat) can give a slight yellowness. This does not mean at all that you should not dye your hair in such colors, just to get the desired tone, it is recommended to contact an experienced master in a beauty salon.

Every woman sooner or later thinks about changing her image. At a minimum, with such motives, the hairstyle or hair color is affected. But in some cases, achieving the desired result is quite difficult. This is especially common when turning into a blonde.

The natural color of the curls is provided by the production of two enzymes: eumelanin (adds brown-black color) and pheomelanin (adds yellow-red colors). It is the mixing of these two components that forms a huge palette of colors. Thus, if you want to become a blonde, you need to get rid of these pigments in your hair. This is usually achieved by lightening or bleaching.

Yellowness is only part of the pigments that did not come out during clarification. And the darker the natural color of your strands, the harder it is to get rid of it.

Coloring in light colors without yellowness is a rather problematic procedure. Especially when paints bought in stores do not always give the effect that flaunts in the picture.

There are three main factors that affect the final result:

the amount of natural enzymes responsible for natural hair color
past staining (if any)
compliance with dyeing technologies
general condition of the hair

If attention is still paid to the first two factors, then the latter rarely pops up in the thoughts of the fair sex. On overdried damaged strands, it is almost impossible to achieve an even shade even in professional beauty salons.

What tools can be used

The market for cosmetic products is constantly pleased with the emergence of new products that will help with coloring at home without visiting beauty salons. The most popular means are:

permanent paints and cream paints
shampoos that, when washed, give the strands the selected shade
tinting foams
brightening gels

But before you stop on the choice of one or another means, in order not to get an unexpected result, you should carefully study the features of its application.

Persistent paints and cream paints are able to give the hair the desired color for a long time. Thanks to them, you can get a rich color and no signs of yellowness. To give the strands a beautiful light shade, it is recommended to pay attention to the palette of ashy and cold shades. Usually they are marked "without yellowness". It is they who are able not only to lighten the hair by several tones, but also prevent the appearance of yellowness.

For those who have natural blond hair, tint shampoos are suitable. They will help to lighten a little and remove signs of a "straw" color. It is also recommended to use them for dyed blondes who are faced with the same problem. In addition, tinted shampoos do not contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, so they do not harm the hair. Their impact does not penetrate deep into the hair, but only envelops it. The result is usually completely washed off after 5-7 shampoos.

A special place among coloring agents is occupied by foams with a lightening effect. Their main function is to give the hair a shade one tone lighter. The advantage of its use is that the foam does not have a harmful effect on the hair structure at all. On the contrary, after using it, the strands become smoother and more obedient.

Coloring gels are slightly more effective than foams: they can lighten up to two tones. They are actively used on separate strands to give the effect of sun-bleached hair. Another difference from foams is a longer effect.

We select the tone of paint depending on the color of the hair

Hair color depends on the amount of eumelanin and pheomelanin contained in them. Depending on what color the pigment prevails, the level of tone depth is determined:

ur. tone 1 - black - black pigment
ur. tone 2 - brown - brown pigment
ur. tone 3 - dark chestnut - brown-red pigment
ur. tone 4 - medium chestnut - red-brown pigment
ur. tone 5 - light chestnut - red pigment
ur. tone 6 - dark blond - red-orange pigment
ur. tone 7 - intense blond - orange pigment
ur. tone 8 - light blond - yellow pigment
ur. tone 9 - very light blond - light yellow pigment
ur. tone 10 - platinum blond - pale yellow and lemon pigment

Depending on the tone to be painted, the paint number is selected.

10th number suitable for natural hair, not darker than the color "dark blond".

11th number suitable for natural hair, not darker than "intense blond".

12th number suitable for natural hair, not darker than "light blond".

In other cases, it is better to approach lightening in a complex way, starting with warmer shades or using coloring.

Before you start coloring

If you are the owner of natural fiery or red-dyed hair, before you start lightening, you must undergo a washing or bleaching procedure. It is also recommended for those who used henna and basma to change their color. Otherwise, it will not work to avoid the appearance of yellowness on the hair.
If you have a dark hair color (tone levels 1-6), then it will not work to lighten your hair in one procedure without damaging your hair. The best option in this case would be gradual staining using coloring or highlighting techniques.
Owners of warm light tones are recommended to use paints that have platinum tones.
It is categorically not advised to start lightening if the hair is badly damaged. If you did a perm, straightening, or just arrived from a vacation, after which the strands are clearly overdried, you first need to do hair restoration.
If irritation occurs at the edges of hair growth during painting, they can be slightly lubricated with a nourishing cream.
Do not use tools with metal inserts, because when paint interacts with metal, compounds are formed that negatively affect clarification.

If earlier bleaching was carried out only in salons and hairdressers, now in stores you can buy kits for bleaching at home. Thanks to them, owners of red or dark hair can first bleach the strands, and after a clean result is obtained, they can use a permanent dye or just a tint shampoo or gel.

When choosing ash tones, be careful, because in some cases, if the hair is not lightened enough and there is a lot of pheomelanin pigment in it, the combination of ash and yellow pigment can lead to a green tint on the hair.

Care for dyed hair is no less important than the correct selection of technology, tone and type of hair dye. Proper care will not only preserve the resulting color for a long period of time, but also help the hair adapt after dyeing.

Rusty tap water, unsuitable cosmetics and the daily use of various styling products and devices lead to the fact that the hair not only loses a beautiful light shade, but also problems appear in the form of overdried ends and brittleness.

The best solution would be to resort to the following care tips:

To wash your hair, it is better not to use ordinary tap water. According to experts, boiled water is best for washing, and mineral water for rinsing. However, it is hard to imagine daily shampooing with pre-prepared boiled and mineral water. A compromise in this situation is the installation of a water filter.
It is worth being more vigilant in the choice of shampoos, balms and other care products. Some products contain herbs (for example, dandelion), which negatively affect the white color of the hair.
Whatever long-lasting effect manufacturers of resistant paints promise, only they are not enough. It is recommended to use tinted shampoos at least once a week.

Means to eliminate yellowness

If you have dyed your hair and the same ugly yellow color has turned out, you can try to fix it without additional staining using special masks that are easily prepared at home. Also, these options are suitable for natural blondes who want to make a lighter and colder tone.

Honey mask has the mildest effect of whitening strands. The only ingredient is honey, it should be warmed up a little so that its consistency becomes more liquid. All strands and roots should be thoroughly nourished with honey, and then insulated with polyethylene and a towel. The negative point of this mask is a long procedure - it must be applied for 6-8 hours. But there are enough positive moments: in addition to mild bleaching, the hair is saturated with microelements.

Onion mask also does a good job. However, due to a possible unpleasant odor, not many people agree to it, although judging by the numerous reviews, the mask does not have an onion aroma. For cooking, you need to take a few onions, chop them. The resulting mass is diluted with water, brought to a boil and cooked for another quarter of an hour. The broth is cooled, filtered and generously applied to the hair. Usage time - 1 hour.

Lemon therapy for lightening. In this case, two means are used - a mask and a conditioner. To prepare the mask, you need to take 50 ml of kefir, 10 ml of vodka, 1 tbsp. spoon of shampoo, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of lemon juice and one beaten egg. The ingredients are well mixed and applied to the hair. You need to keep the mask for 1 hour. After that, you need to use a rinse aid. To prepare it, you need to take purified water and lemon juice (1:10).

Tea rinse will give the hair a cool shade. To do this, add a cup of pre-prepared green tea to a liter of water. You can rinse after washing your hair.

If you first thought about turning your hair into a blonde color, we recommend that you consult a specialist, because due to inexperience you may not get the result you expected and, more sadly, ruin your hair.
