Want to know how to cover white hair with blonde dye? We have some tips to help you achieve a uniform and elegant result. The first step is to choose the dye and the ideal tone to cover whites and then apply the color in the right way - since the technique for painting gray hair is different. See the tips!

The first step to cover white hair with blonde dye is the choice of dye

The choice of dye is a very important step in covering whites, and even more so if you want to bet on blonde. Although many women opt for the toner, the truth is that permanent dye can be a better choice, especially for those who have a large amount of white hair - above 30%.

The benefit of permanent ink, in addition to greater coverage capacity, is that it has greater durability. Therefore, it does not require touch-ups as frequently as the toner, which fades more quickly. In addition, toners do not have the power to lighten the hair, unlike permanent coloring, which lightens natural hair by up to three tones.

So, if you only have white hair at the temples, for example, but the length is still your natural color, permanent dye is the best option to go completely blonde.

The second step to cover white hair with blonde dye is to select the right shade.

Another essential step in covering white hair with blonde dye is choosing the right shade. Those with white hair should avoid colors with reflections and prefer the so-called “base colorations”. But how to differentiate one from the other? It's very simple:

- Basic colorings: are those that end with the number 0. For example, 7.0 and 8.0.

- Coloring with reflections: are the ones with numbers above 0 after the dot. For example, 6.1 and 7.2.

The greater the amount of whites, the better it is to bet on a base color for complete coverage. Light tones are highly recommended because they disguise gray root growth, extending the time between one touch-up and another. We suggest the shades Louro Claro 8.0, Louro Claríssimo 9.0 and Louro Ultra Claro 10.0, from Cor&Ton.

How to cover white hair with blonde dye? Tips for applying hair color

Most hair dyes, including Cor&Ton, contain an explanatory leaflet with a complete step-by-step guide on how to dye your hair at home. However, there are some valuable tips that those who are going to cover their white hair with blonde dye should follow. Write down:

Tip 1: Always start your dye application where you have the most gray hairs.

Tip 2: The application should always start at the root and only then should you spread the color along the length and ends.

Tip 3: Always separate the locks into strands to facilitate application and saturate each lock well with the dye to prevent any areas from being uncovered.

Tip 4: Let the paint act for the time indicated on the package. Never remove before the indicated and also do not exceed the necessary time.

Extra Tip: those with white hair should also do the strand test. It's important to know if the wires are resistant enough to go through the bleaching process with the coloring. If you don't pass the test, invest in treatment with masks to strengthen and hydrate your locks.
