So, the procedure of blonding or, as it is also called, washing is a process in which special chemical preparations destroy the natural pigment of your hair.

Some of the hair is wound on special cords with a blondant, and also cotton wool with preparations is sometimes made between strands. Since the strands are taken in a chaotic order, the result is happy with its naturalness.
