How to become a blonde at home?
Primary clarification.
To do this, it is best to use professional tools. Do not use dyes for home use. When dyeing hair in lighter colors than natural, oxigens 6, 9, 12% are used (transparent liquid, bottled 1, 5-2 liters, sold for bottling in specialized stores). For the sake of economy, you can buy one bottle of the correct percentage of clarifier and one can of clarifying powder, as it is called, supers.
When choosing the percentage of oxygen, you need to be careful - the higher the percentage, the more aggressive it is. 12% activators were removed from production by many manufacturers. When using 9%, you need to clearly control the duration of the action, and then you will not have anything to paint, you will not have hair. Although 6% -oxygen is the softest, but still it is better not to over-exert it.
To prepare a mixture of blond, you need to take one measuring spoon of blue powder, two tablespoons of oxygen, that is, in a ratio of 1: 2. It is necessary to stir in a plastic container immediately before applying to the hair. Work with the dye is necessary in gloves and with a special brush. Do not forget about the protective dressing gown for yourself and about the apron for the helper.
Hair needs to be divided by horizontal and vertical parting, locks fasten with clasps. Begin lightening from below the occipital or parietal part - as you prefer. The main rule at the first clarification is to retreat 2 cm from the roots. The agent should be applied very quickly and abundantly, so that the hair "bathed" in the paint. This will ensure maximum staining, without dark spots.
Take a strand width of 2 cm, blondator is applied over the entire length and combed plastic comb. After processing one part, quickly move to the next. The time of exposure starts from the moment when the product is applied to the last strand and all the hair is already smeared, so you need to have a skill in this matter. If half an hour has passed already, and not much is processed, then you need to worry about the part of the head with which the painting began. In this case, you must try to quickly dye all the hair, and the first part in 15-20 minutes to wash off, which is very inconvenient. Better, of course, to apply faster and faster combing. Do not overexpose, and if necessary, do a second lightening after 3 days.
The product should be rinsed after 30 minutes. Then you wash your hair with shampoo, and you can do it twice. Apply balm, rinse hair and gently wipe with a towel.
Now evaluate the degree of hair loss. If the hair falls out decent shreds, then the next clarification is carried out after 1-2 weeks. In general, natural brunettes have healthy and thick hair. If after the first lightening your hair falls within normal limits, then dry them with cold air of a hair dryer. Do not be afraid of the resulting copper-yellow hair, because this is not the end result.
Re-brightening.
At repeated clarification the agent from powder and an oxygen should be put already and on roots. Repeat the same steps as in the initial clarification - quickly applied, stand for 30 minutes, washed off and dried with cold air. Determine the degree of preparedness of the hair to apply a tone. If the hair is not brightened enough, then the procedure should be repeated after 3-4 days, possibly 2 more times. Healthy dark hair needs to withstand the enhanced pigment etch.
Choice of cream paint.
Finally, you have prepared hair for coloring. Paint the desired shade can choose professional or household ("Garnier", "Palette", etc.). It is best to buy professional paint and to it 3% or 1, 5% oxygen for coloring the tone in tone, you can one tone higher.
In dyes for home use, oxygenates are 6% and 9%, and your hair has already experienced a strong chemical effect. But if you are ready to make sacrifices, you can use oxygens for blonding when staining. Professional cream paint is sold in tubes, with designated dimensional limiters, which is very convenient and helps to repaint correctly. The paint with oxygen is mixed in a 1: 1 ratio. Everything is as usual: mixed, applied, withstood, washed off. In the salons, the paint is applied from the roots throughout the head, then returns and continues to be applied over the entire length, combed. Withstands 35-40 minutes, it is not terrible to overexpose a little.
We remove yellowness.
If you want to repaint yourself in a blonde of cold colors, then the remaining yellowness will be clearly frustrating and annoying. It is known that the violet color extinguishes the yellow tint. And to not endlessly not buy a professional cream paint, you can use a toner. It acts on the hair superficially, quickly washed off and does no harm. Toning paint should be diluted with water and every time after washing rinse the hair in it.
We can conclude: to repaint from a brunette to a blinding blonde is a huge work that takes a lot of time and money.
