In an ideal world, it would be a lot easier to change your hair color with just a tin of hair dye. But in real life, that's not always how it works. For women who want to go blonde, discoloration ends up being a necessary step, but it is possible to reach a light tone without having to go through this process. Want to know how? Check out!

Everything will depend on your hair tone and the blonde you choose.

The blonde has several nuances, from the darkest to the lightest platinum. Remembering that, according to the rules of colorimetry, you can only lighten up to three tones, so the transformation will depend on your choice and your original tone.

If you have very dark locks and want to go platinum, you will have to face discoloration, since it is impossible to lighten it with just one box. If you have dark strands, but want a more closed blonde, maybe the transformation will be more relaxed, but that doesn't mean you don't need to discolor. The best tip, in this case, is to lighten the hair little by little, so as not to damage the strands and achieve a better result.

Virgin hair lightens more easily

Another point worth highlighting is that coloring does not lighten color. So, if you dyed your hair in a darker tone and now want to go super blonde, discoloration is not necessary, but pickling is.

This process is very similar to discoloration, but it removes artificial pigments, cleaning the wires and allowing the color to penetrate more easily. Therefore, virgin hair, which has not undergone any chemical procedure, is usually easier to lighten.

Did you need to bleach? Hair care after the process

If you needed to bleach your locks to go blonde, you don't have to worry. In addition to being a very common and somewhat aggressive process, it is possible to keep the locks stronger and healthier after discoloration with the right care.

The first measure is to do a strand test before going out, applying the bleaching powder to the hair. If you didn't have any reactions, you can move on. After that, don't forget to do a good reconstruction with liquid keratin to replace the capillary mass and proteins lost in this step. And take care of hydration to make your blonde powerful and with a lot of shine!
