Hair Bleaching: Your Ultimate How-To Guide
What exactly is hair lightening? To truly grasp the concept of hair bleaching, we'll begin by explaining exactly what hair lightening is and how it works on your strands.
Certain factors influence the natural lightening of hair. Indeed, the sun, sea water, and wind can activate the natural oxidation of your hair. However, today it is possible to achieve artificial lightening, thanks to chemical products, which are called "Bleaching and Color Preparation Products".
When to use hair lightening?
You can use hair lightening when you want to achieve a lighter color than your natural hair color (this is called bleaching), or when you need a lighter shade to serve as a base for a subsequent hair color application (this is called stripping).
What is the purpose of bleaching?
The goal of bleaching is to partially or totally remove the natural color of the hair by acting directly on the melanin pigments that compose it. This results in a lighter shade than the natural base hair color.
What effects and treatments should be adopted after bleaching?
Bleaching generally weakens the hair. This is why bleached hair needs more care; it requires specific hair treatment products for sensitized hair that repair, protect, and nourish it.
So indeed, choose a good hairdresser to perform your bleaching, to ensure you get the desired result with professional dosage.
