Ultra Platinum Blonde 12.111 Mega Colors
ExploreBlonde hair is one of the main choices of those who decide to change the color of their hair. Whether it's a more radical transformation, like platinum, or a softer one, like honey and gold tones, lightening hair is something that many people prefer to do with the help of a professional. But did you know that you can get a good result at home? With hair in its natural color, it is possible to lighten a few tones with coloring, which gives a preview of the result in the box. To help you achieve a good result, Fica Diva has separated some tips below. Check it out!
It's important to have healthy hair before trying to go blonde at home.
As with other types of chemical processes, color lightening can damage hair that is not strong enough. Therefore, before moving, invest in care such as hydration and hair reconstruction. The processes will return water and proteins to the threads, strengthening and repairing possible damage so that the hair fiber supports the color change. Nutrition is also important at this time, so establish your hair schedule routine for a week or two before coloring your hair.
Diva tip: continue with the care routine after the color change as well to ensure the health of the threads.

Do a strand test before applying the product all over your hair.
Even taking care of the health of your hair before applying the color, it is good to do a strand test to ensure the safety of the process. Apply the product to a small section of hair at the back of the hair, wait 40 minutes, rinse and analyze the state of your hair afterwards. If it becomes elastic or breaks while you handle it, wait a little longer before coloring all of your hair and invest in hair reconstructions to strengthen the hair fiber.
Pay attention to the instructions on the coloring box
Before dyeing your hair at home, you need to carefully read all the instructions in the insert that comes with the box. This is essential for you to get a good result in the end. One of the main rules that you cannot leave aside is the time of action of the product: do not leave more or less than what is indicated there. The result may be a completely different color than expected if this happens.

Apply the color evenly to all hair
To avoid stains of uneven shades on the strands, when applying, pay attention and ensure that all your hair has been colored. In cases of very long or bulky strands, it may be necessary to use more than one box to guarantee the result. So it's worth preparing and having a spare kit even if you're not sure you'll need it, okay?
Bonus: If you want to try bleaching your hair, talk to a professional first.
Anyone who wants to bet on a radical change and go from dark hair to a lighter shade of blonde will need to bleach the hair before applying the color. Even though the process is simple (you only need to mix the bleaching powder with hydrogen peroxide before applying it to the strands), it can go wrong without specific instructions for your hair. Therefore, our advice is that, even if you do it yourself, you at least talk to a professional who will tell you how long the bleach takes to work, how to tint and apply the color afterwards to get the desired tone, ok?
