Any girl has encountered such a problem as. Of course, on the first try, not everyone can successfully carry out this procedure both at home and with the help of specialists. In order not to encounter the unpleasant consequences of the hair bleaching procedure, you need to know some rules and carry out the process, guided by them.

Hair bleach

In professional activities, and more specifically with hairdressers, products that bleach hair are called dyes of the first group.

The main of them is considered to be a solution of hydrogen peroxide of twenty-five to thirty percent.   But in order to make the process faster, a so-called catalyst is added to the peroxide. Often they become ammonia. The content of three percent alcohol in thirty percent peroxide should be as follows: for each milliliter of hydrogen peroxide, you need to add one drop of alcohol. If you add more ammonia, it will begin to decompose quickly enough. All its properties will disappear instantly.

In some cases, ammonium bicarbonate is used instead of ammonia.   Thanks to him, the shade of hair when bleaching is natural, the red pigment disappears. However, with ammonium, the mixture will change the quantitative composition. For every sixty milliliters of hydrogen peroxide, no more than ten grams of ammonium bicarbonate should be added.

In addition to hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst, water is added to the mixture.   It should be warm - fifty degrees. And also shampoo in the amount of sixty grams.

The above mixtures are possible.   To bleach the hair on the head, it is best to use ready-made powders.

The basic rules for bleaching hair on the head at home

Before you begin the procedure, you must protect yourself from damage that may occur during the procedure.

Be sure to cover your shoulders with a large towel or film. Then you need to grease the scalp with a fat cream. Particular attention should be paid to the forehead, temples and neck.

Also, before the procedure for bleaching the hair, it is necessary to prepare the mixture. This must be done immediately before it is carried out, since many mixtures of this composition quickly lose their chemical properties.

The next rule is to prepare your hair for bleaching. It is necessary to comb and properly divide them into strands. Do not wash your hair for three days before the procedure.

All necessary tools should be prepared in advance: cotton pads, tampons, brush and gloves.

If bleaching of hair on the head is carried out for the first time, then the mixture should be applied at a distance of three centimeters from the hair roots.

When bleaching is used, a four to eight percent solution of peroxide is used, and when bleaching thick and thick, ten to twelve percent is used.

The last thing that happens is the bleaching of the fluffy hair, since it is much finer than the rest and, as a result, it will discolor much faster.

For successful procedures for bleaching the hair on the head, one should be guided by these rules, because it will be necessary to act quickly.

Stages of the procedure for bleaching hair on the head

First stage   - bleaching of hair on the occipital part of the head. You need to start from the neck and gradually move to the top of the head. The mixture should be applied on both sides of the strand. Parting should be vertical. It should leave two to three centimeters from the roots. Since they discolor faster, they are stained last.

Second phase   - applying a bleaching mixture to the hair of the temporal and parietal parts of the head. Here you need to start from the crown and go down to the temples. Coating with the mixture, as in the previous step, is carried out on both sides of the strand, and the parting is kept vertical.

Next stage   - combing hair. When a bleaching mixture is applied to all hair, they must be combed at the top and stabbed. Ten minutes after this, proceed to the fourth stage.

In the fourth stage   it is necessary to apply a bleaching composition to the hair roots. You should also start from the back of the head and gradually move to the top of the head. And then from the parietal part of the head move to the temples.

Fifth stage - washing off the bleaching mixture from the hair. Thirty minutes later, using soap with warm water, thoroughly rinse the composition. Then rinse your hair with a pre-prepared solution of lemon acid and nine percent vinegar. This will help get rid of the rest of the mixture. Then you need to pat your hair with a bath towel and comb it.

If it becomes necessary to give a more natural shade to the hair, then after rinsing with a solution, rinse the hair with a decoction of parsley root. In order to cook it, it is necessary to finely chop two parsley roots and cook them on low heat for twenty minutes.

The composition of mixtures for bleaching dark hair

One of the problems of women is the dark hair on their hands. If you remove them by shaving or hair removal, you can only aggravate the problem. Due to mechanical stress, they will grow faster. By themselves, they will be much tougher and darker. That is why it is not worth removing the hair on the hands, but discoloring.

In order to prepare a bleaching mixture, you must:

1. Mix twenty-five milliliters of hydrogen peroxide with twenty-five milliliters of water;
2. Add ammonia to the solution in two ampoules and one teaspoon of soda. All this mix thoroughly.

Next, you should find out the body's reaction to the resulting mixture. On a fold of a brush it is necessary to drip a small drop of this mixture. If after ten minutes no reactions appear, namely itching or redness, then you can safely apply the mixture to the hair of both hands. Hold her in your arms for about one hour. After that, rinse with warm water.

If a slight burning sensation appears during the procedure, then do not panic, this is normal. However, it is worth noting that if such sensations gradually begin to intensify, then you should immediately wash the mixture off your hands and no longer use this method of bleaching hair. Sometimes white pigment spots may appear at the site of hair bleaching. This is also not scary, after a while the skin will take on the usual look.

A mixture for bleaching dark hair on the head

As already mentioned, before this procedure, you can not wash your hair for three days. During this time, a protective layer of fat will form on the surface of the head, which will soften the effect of chemicals on the hair.

If you don’t want to spend big money on expensive modern drugs, you can prepare a special mixture for bleaching on the head from hydrogen peroxide.

Directly preparing the solution:

1. Sixty milliliters of hydrogen peroxide of the desired concentration (depending on the structure of the hair) must be mixed with forty grams;
2. To the resulting mixture add fifty milliliters of water and mix again;
3. Lastly, dilute the solution with three teaspoons of ammonia. Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a convenient bowl.

Then be sure to check if there are any reactions of the skin. If they did not appear, then you should generously smear the skin of the forehead, temples and neck with a fat cream and begin the procedure.

The bleaching mixture should be distributed throughout the hair following the steps described above. But for darker hair, the procedure should be repeated after three weeks.

Restoring hair structure after failed bleaching

Often, after the bleaching procedure, the hair loses its original appearance. They become fluffy and faded. However, do not despair. You can recover them after such a procedure quite quickly using available means. At home, you can create a variety of nourishing masks that will help revitalize the hair.

Such masks are classified by hair type:

1. Suitable for normal hair type with honey.   It has already become clear what basic ingredients will be included. In order to prepare such a mask, it is necessary to separate the egg yolk from the protein. Then mix the first with one tablespoon of honey. Distribute this mixture evenly across all hair, starting from the roots and ending with the tips. After the mask is applied to the hair, you need to put a bag or hat on your head. Keep the mask on your hair for twenty minutes. This procedure must be repeated three times a week. A mask of eggs and honey restores the outer layer of the hair (cuticle) and nourishes the roots with natural substances and vitamins.
2. Essential oils are suitable for restoring dry hair.   Burdock oil will help to cope with the problem of dry hair. It can be used as part of a nourishing mask, or separately. Before washing the hair, a small amount of oil should be applied to the hair and left for twenty minutes, and then washed off during hair care. The mask is applied for the same period of time. The composition to ten drops of burdock oil is added one tablespoon of honey. Essential oils nourish the hair with special fats and vitamins, helping to prevent dryness.
3. For brittle hair damaged by bleaching, burdock oil is also suitable, only as part of a more complex mask.   Coconut and castor oil must be added to burdock. They should be moved in equal proportions and heated in the bath. The resulting mixture should be rubbed lightly into the scalp for five minutes. Then cover the hair with a plastic bag, and wrap them in a towel on top for warmth. This mixture can be done at night or for two hours. Wash it off with warm water and shampoo.

Lightening hair is one of the fastest ways to change your hairstyle. At home, you need to be extremely careful not to get a burnt tow instead of blond curls. Incorrectly selected paint for lightening or the wrong exposure time can lead to very sad consequences.

If you decide to change the color of your hair and lighten it, then be prepared for the hair to deteriorate. Yes, no matter how I would like to believe the paint manufacturers, but this is inevitable. Lightened hair will always lose in its state even just dyed hair, not to mention the natural color. But this does not mean that the hair will inevitably become stiff and will look like it is not known what, this effect can only be obtained if you burn the hair. Proper lightening will not do much harm, but the hair will still become drier. When bleaching, we “kill” the native pigment of the hair and make it porous, hence all the possible problems.

As already written above, there is not a single paint that can lighten hair without spoiling it. But we can save the structure as much as possible and choose the most gentle option for clarification. It should be understood that gentle methods of bleaching can not always give the result that you expect (meaning color). Yes, the brighter you want your hair, the more aggressive the dye should be.

Lightening hair is something you should not save on. It’s better to pay a little more once, but to get a good even shade of the blonde, than to run to the hairdresser with burnt hair in order to somehow rectify the situation and paint over the incomprehensible color that turned out.

First of all, you need to determine the source base - the level of your natural hair color. This can be done using a special table. Next, you need to assess the condition of the hair.

To do this, we will conduct a small analysis:

1. Is your hair dyed?
     A very important part, because to give a natural color a light even shade will be easier.
2. Hair condition at the roots, in length and at the ends.
     Here you need to evaluate the quality of the hair: how dry, porous, brittle. Determine their thickness and elasticity.

Suppose you have dark colored hair. Plus, they are thin and brittle, the ends are split. It is best to lighten such hair in the salon; at home, it is likely that you will not be able to choose the right brightener. But consider an example of such a clarification.

Lightening dark dyed hair

• Since the hair is thin, you can use more or less gentle dye, but in our case you need to get out of the dark color, which worsens the situation. Therefore, for clarification, we use clarifying powder and an oxidizing agent of 6%.
• Mix these two components strictly according to the manufacturer's instructions! First you need to do an elbow test to avoid a possible allergic reaction on the scalp.
• Next, it is best to try to lighten one strand to know for sure that we were not mistaken and chose the right composition for lightening (after all, hair is dyed). Lightening powder should be applied liberally to a strand from the root and along the entire length, and leave the tips without paint.
• After 30 minutes, apply the solution to the tips, wait another 20 minutes and rinse. White should not turn out, at best there will be a blonde with strong yellowness, but when leaving dark colored hair this can not be avoided and you will have to tolerate.

To lighten your hair, you do not have to go to the salon. This can be done at home with the help of cosmetics or folk remedies. Hair preparation and proper procedure will please your results, and tips and cautions will help not to spoil the hair.

And if you are going to lighten your hair, but have not yet decided to do this procedure in the salon or at home, then our useful tips, folk recipes and warnings will help not only minimize the harmfulness of the procedure and achieve the desired results.

Lightening options

Lightening dark hair

In order to lighten dark hair, it is necessary to use cream dye or bleaching powder.

The main task here is to neutralize the red-orange pigment, which, due to its tiny size, settles very deep in curls, and the concentration of pigments is higher, the strands are darker.

Cream paint brightens and tones immediately, but is more suitable for use by dark blond girls.

Decolorize black strands will be obtained using powder, which can lighten by 7-8 tones. But after bleaching powder, tinting is also required, so this procedure will take longer.

Before lightening black hair, think about whether it is worth doing, because nature has already foreseen everything and the color of the eyes and eyebrows should harmoniously combine with the color of the hair.

Light brown hair

The most gentle way to lighten light brown strands is considered to be milling, which, in addition to animating the color, gives the hairstyle a greater volume.

Gently and without harm, refresh the color with clarifying shampoos - tonics.

If you want to give a lighter shade without injuring the structure, turn to folk remedies, since it is not difficult to lighten brown curls with products such as honey, rhubarb, chamomile or lemon.

How to lighten hair at home for 1-2 tones

To lighten hair at home for 1-2 tones, use a lemon, which will make the pigment lighter. To do this, add fresh squeezed juice of 1 lemon to 0.5 l of water and rinse the strands clean after washing. To enhance the effect, go out in the sun for 10 minutes.

But it is better for owners of brittle and dry curls not to use this method. Citric acid overdries them, but this has a good effect on fat-prone strands.

Brighten without harm

In order to lighten your hair and not harm yourself, in addition to choosing a high-quality production tool or making a home one, following the recipe exactly, you need to take this procedure seriously.

Cautions:

• Be very careful with chemicals, their curls can dry out or fall out even worse.
• Using them, take care of your face and hands.
• Protect the already clarified curls from chlorinated water (in addition to the negative effect, a green tint may appear).
• With damaged, too dry, brittle, split ends or after perming, set aside lightening or discard it altogether. Because it’s only healthy to lighten hair properly. And the weaker they are, the more they can be destroyed during the procedure.

What determines the degree of clarification

The degree of clarification depends on:

• the original color of the strands, since it is more difficult to lighten the black pigment;
• the duration of the exposure procedure;
• the amount of home mask or paint applied;
• temperature of the procedure.

Do not forget that any level of lightening does not leave the structure the same.. Therefore, before conducting the clarification procedure, analyze their condition, thickness, fat content, porosity, in order to choose the most suitable product and determine the conditions for its use.

How to lighten dyed hair

To lighten colored curls, you need to oxidize the coloring pigment, thus washing off the paint, but this method is the most aggressive. But since it is very difficult to lighten black dyed hair, this method is most often used.

Before lightening colored curls with aggressive agents, consult a specialist to avoid unpleasant consequences.

A less harmful method is etching. For its use, more gentle preparations are used and the procedure takes less time. During the session, the surface of the strands is degreased and the metabolic processes are accelerated.

The use of peroxide is quite popular in brightening a colored head. This liquid simply washes paint, destroying the coloring pigment, but also causes noticeable harm.

The next application of the brightening composition is possible no earlier than 2 weeks later.

The final stage of home brightening

When the bleach expires, wash your hair with natural shampoo and rinse with water and vinegar or lemon juice. This will complete the clarification process.

So, mix one part of vodka and two parts of mineral water (Eve uses the so-called seltzer mineral water), pour into a bottle with a spray and spray on clean, dry hair several times a day. If you want a quick effect, double the proportions in the recipe. Pure pigeon tones of vodka will bring out the bronze pigment present in your curls, and alcohol + the sun will lighten and make the tone natural.
