Hair bleaching at home is a painstaking and difficult procedure. But if you strictly adhere to its rules and subtleties, your strands will acquire the desired shade and quickly restore a healthy appearance.

Bleaching can injure the hair, especially if done without special knowledge at home. In place of the washed out pigment, voids remain, due to which the strands become porous. They thin, break, lose moisture and shine.

It is possible to discolor the hair and not get unwanted “bonuses” if you understand the technology of the procedure, carry it out correctly and provide the strands with proper follow-up care.

How to bleach hair effectively at home

Discoloration, in contrast to lightening, destroys the natural pigment and does not give a new shade. Therefore, it is additionally recommended to use a tint balm.

Generally, the result of discoloration depends on many factors... These are the condition and structure of your hair, the quality and intensity of the preparation, its exposure time and the ambient temperature.

So, when performing the procedure, you need to take into account the nuances:

• Natural pigment dissolves when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. If the strands are very thin or porous, the level of peroxide in the brightening composition should be minimal, if dense and tough - it can be up to 12%.
• The more intense the drug (from 3% to 12%) and the longer time its impact (from 30 to 50 minutes), the more pronounced the effect of discoloration, but the more the keratin bonds are destroyed.
  It is strongly discouraged to rely only on the percentage of oxidizer. Without considering other factors, you can just burn the strands.
• The bleaching process occurs sequentially, so you can trace at what stage it is in this moment... The color gradually changes from red to light yellow.
• The hair is exposed to the oxidizing agent until the moment the neutralizing composition is applied. And with deep discoloration - and for several days after the procedure (the composition continues its effect at deeper levels).
• After a perm, curls fade no sooner than a week later, since they may not withstand intense stress.
• Do not wash your hair for 2-3 days before bleaching. So the aggressiveness of the drug is reduced. Do not use styling products at this time either.

Technique for performing the procedure

Skin and clothing protection

Before starting work, lubricate the skin on the border with the hair with a Vaseline-based cream. Protect hands with gloves. Throw a towel over your shoulders that you do not mind.

Allocation of work areas

Divide the hair into four parts with two perpendicular partings.

Application of the composition

Standing 1–2 cm away from the roots, apply two-thirds of the blonde mixture, starting from the parietal zone. When the desired degree of lightening is almost achieved, paint over the roots, apply the composition along the hairline and loosen the hair with your hands.

This is necessary so that the heat is evenly distributed and, accordingly, the discoloration is also uniform. Work carefully, but quickly, so as not to miscalculate the time limit.

Color control

After a 20-30 minute reaction at short intervals, monitor the result. If it suits you, wash off the mixture.

Washing off the dye

Use a little warm water to massage your hair into a lather. To remove the composition from the skin, pay special attention to the roots. Now rinse the strands well with shampoo and use a neutralizing balm.

Mask application

The mask after discoloration can be purchased or homemade. The simplest and most effective is kefir: slightly heat the kefir, apply it to the strands and soak the mask under a warming cap for 15 minutes.

Purchased bleach products

Among professional products for bleaching hair, dye (only for natural strands) and powder (affects both natural pigment and already dyed strands) are widely used.

Dye

Lightens by 2-3 tones, but only the natural color. On natural strands, it performs two functions at once - bleaching and toning.

It is also convenient because the package contains everything you need for the procedure: a developer, a brightening cream, gloves, a caring balm and detailed instructions to use. You don't need to measure and calculate anything.

The disadvantage of dye for bleaching hair is that it cannot cope with artificial pigment (special blocking preparations are used for previously dyed strands).

In addition, the percentage of the oxidizing agent is rarely indicated on the package, and often it is the maximum 12%. Therefore, you can often hear that the paint burns through the strands.

Powder

Allows you to lighten 4 tones or more. This is a purple or blue powder that must be diluted with an oxidizing agent.

The oxidant is bought separately and its amount must be calculated very accurately. Usually, the instructions indicate the proportions. If not, combine the powder with oxygen in a 1: 2 ratio.

The mixture is applied immediately after stirring. The exposure time is up to 45 minutes. Wash it off as soon as the desired result is achieved. After that, use a special balm, preferably the same line as the powder. Tint your hair.

Discoloration with powder powder at home can be carried out no more than once a month.

Folk remedies recipes

Popular home remedies for bleaching strands include hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and hydroperite.

Hydrogen peroxide

Use a 3% solution. Especially if you are performing the procedure for the first time and do not know how your head of hair might react.

How to carry out the procedure:

• Wash your hair and let it dry naturally (it should remain slightly damp).
• Protect your hands, scalp, and clothing.
• Highlight the strand you plan to desaturate.
• Soak a cotton swab (paint brush, toothbrush) in the solution and go over the strand.
• Wrap the strand in foil and pin with a clip.
• Repeat for the rest of the hair.
• Cover your hair with a towel.
• Check the result after 30-40 minutes.
• Rinse your strands with warm water and apply conditioner or mask.

Lemon juice

Another method for bleaching hair folk remedies- using natural lemon juice. Lemon acid brightens the pigment and adds extra shine. And exposure to UV rays accelerates the lightening process.

How to discolor hair with lemon juice:

• Prepare a solution or mixture (for normal hair, 1 cup of juice to 0.25 cups of warm water, for dry hair, use the same amount of conditioner instead of water). Let the clarifier brew for a quarter of an hour. You can also add 1-2 tbsp. olive oil.
• Apply the solution to the strands with a sprayer, and a thicker mixture with conditioner with a coloring brush.
• Go sunbathing for an hour and a half.
• After this time, re-process the hair and keep it for another 30 minutes under the sun.
• Wash your hair as usual. Be sure to use conditioner this and all subsequent washings.
• The strands will continue to lighten for 2-4 weeks.
• Do not go to the bathhouse or swimming pool immediately after clarification (chlorinated water can give unforeseen results).

Hydroperite

With its help, not only the hair is discolored, but also unwanted hair on the body. Hydroperite acts very aggressively on the hair structure and can completely destroy it.

You need to be very careful with him so as not to get burned. Hydroperite is not recommended for use on the face. The product is sold in pill form in pharmacies. The constituent substances are urea and hydrogen peroxide.

To bleach hair with hydroperite:

• comb them;
• protect the skin around with fat cream, put on gloves;
• mash 2 tablets of 15% hydroperite, pour in 2 ml of ammonia and 1 tsp. your shampoo;
• mix thoroughly and apply the composition;
• wait for it to dry (usually 5 minutes is enough) and rinse;
• treat the skin around with a nourishing cream.

If the strands are tough and dense, the procedure can be repeated several times, but be careful not to spoil the hair.

The disadvantage of the remedy is that sometimes it gives yellowness. You can remove it by toning it in ash color. In order not to harm the hair, using hydroperit at home, it is recommended to lighten only some strands or ends.

Partial discoloration

If you need to bleach regrown hair roots:

• Apply the brightening compound only to this part, starting from the parietal zone.
• Keep it until the desired level of lightening is obtained (keep in mind that if the strands are porous, the bleaching process will continue even at the moment the composition is washed off).
• Wash your hair with warm water and shampoo.
• If the color difference persists, reapply the brightening paint on dark areas.

Eliminate the unwanted effect after bleaching

Unwanted yellowness occurs for a number of reasons.: cheap lightening agent, improper procedure or use of tap water containing heavy impurities to wash away.

If the yellowness on the hair does appear, there are several ways to overcome it:

• Tinted shampoos
  They temporarily muffle the cheap, unnatural color. Some shampoos can be used every day, some can be used once a week. But they do not cover the reddishness.
• Ammonia-free paints
  The shade number must be chosen one tone lighter than your color and always with the presence of a neutralizing ash mixton.

Bleached hair care

Even if the bleaching is done in a gentle way, it presupposes a subsequent nourishing treatment.

To restore hair at home, use special professional tools that, unlike mass-market cosmetics, are aimed at treatment, and not temporary elimination of symptoms:

• Choose a mild shampoo that gently cleanses hair and scalp and preserves color.
• Twice a week, apply a commercially available regenerating mask containing almond oil, silk proteins, liquid keratins or homemade masks containing natural honey, kefir or cinnamon.
• Do not use pure oils for maintenance, as they will wash out the color.
• Protect your hair from ultraviolet radiation.
• Comb the strands gently, if possible, refrain from using a hair dryer, at least at the level of the hot air supply.

Hair discolored at home suffer minimally, and quickly recover from those girls who approach the procedure with all responsibility, and after that they provide the necessary restorative care to the hair.

If you are not afraid of difficulties and painstaking work, find a suitable bleaching method and experiment.

And to save yourself from possible troubles, just start these experiments with a small strand, which is easy to hide under the bulk of the hair.

Ascorbic acid, which is contained in this citrus fruit, brightens even dark strands very well.

But in its pure form, lemon juice cannot be used, concentrated acid can harm the hair structure, therefore, using a product with the addition of yellow citrus fresh juice, it must be diluted (for 1 liter of water, ½ lemon juice is enough). It is worth remembering that the fruit has properties to dry, therefore it is better to add 1 tbsp of oil to the clarifier. (burdock, olive, etc.).

It should be borne in mind that it will be possible to achieve lightening by 2-3 tones only after 10-12 procedures. In addition to improving the tone of the hair, the components of the "sweet" mask help the curls to improve their health, find a natural gloss and strengthen the root system.

Clarification with onions

An onion mask will help you not only lighten, but also strengthen your hair. Onion has long established itself as good remedy against hair loss. The main disadvantage of using this method is an unpleasant specific odor that persists for a long time.

You can prepare the composition in this way: squeeze the juice from two onions. Dilute with the same amount of water as you get juice. Add here: 1 tsp each. apple cider vinegar, honey and lemon juice. Mix with 4 drops of rosewood essential oil to muffle onion scent. Apply the onion mixture to the strands and wait 1 hour. Wash hair with sulfate-free shampoo. This method can be used every other day or before each head wash.

It is worth remembering that you should not add grated onions to the mask. It will be quite difficult to wash it out of the curls, and the result will be the same as from the juice.

Clarification with kefir

A fermented milk product like kefir is safe remedy for discoloration of curls. It affects the growth rate. Helps to restore the structure of the hair follicle, and also makes the hair silky and soft. Kefir can be used as a stand-alone clarifier or in combination with other ingredients.

Warm your head and go to bed. The duration of the mask should be 7-8 hours. In the morning, rinse off only with warm water, without using any hair care products. To see the result, one application is enough - the curls become lighter by 1-2 tones, and also more obedient.

Factors to consider when lightening hair

Whichever method of lightening is chosen, it is worth knowing some rules:

• dark hair is difficult to lighten at home;
• the rigid structure of the hair requires a longer exposure to the lightening mixture;
• frequent lightening leads to overdrying of the curls.

Whichever method of hair lightening is chosen, it is necessary to take into account the structure and type of the hair shaft. Damaged hair needs additional care and restoration, so you should not choose products aimed only at toning. It is better to opt for complex formulations that help to strengthen the curls and lighten them.

The beautiful half of humanity is very fond of experimenting - and refreshing the image is a nice thing. But most often, hair suffers from dyeing and lightening, so we will discuss safe lightening of hair at home, so that there is as little harm as possible, and so that the result is not shocking. 🙂

So it is morally and financially worth preparing in advance. 🙂 With a brief preliminary preparation finished, let's move on to preparing the hair for dyeing. There are a few things to understand. important rules before staining. Firstly, you cannot wash your hair at least three days before the procedure, so that the hair has time to be covered with a thin fatty film that protects the hair from global damage.

Human hair is covered with scales of the stratum corneum - cuticles... This layer maintains its density thanks to special substances, lipids, and thus retains the melanin pigment inside the structure, which determines the color of the hair.

The essence of hair bleaching is to blur this pigment, but this cannot be done without breaking the integrity of the top layer.

Any clarification assumes destruction of lipids and damage to the hair structure, and the more significant the color change, the more careful the subsequent care should be.

If you nevertheless decided on an independent experiment, be sure to consider several important nuances:

• lighten dark and coarse hair without the use of aggressive agents practically impossible;
• red hair hardly loses pigment and, when lightened, acquire unexpected shades up to greenish;
• there is no pigment in gray hair, so you can only change their color artificial filler;
• do not lighten hair immediately after a perm or other aggressive action;
• be careful if the hair is initially damaged, splits, too dry and brittle;
• don't forget about toning after staining to get rid of lifeless color and yellowness; also remember that bleached hair can be dyed without your desire, for example, when exposed to reagents in the pool or as a result of using herbal masks;
• select the most minimum dosage of drugs: it is better to repeat the procedure after a while than to treat the consequences of an unsuccessful session.
