To leave the blonde and bet on the red, you need to take some care not to stain the wires

Redhead is a good option for blondes who are tired of light hair, who don't want to become brunettes or darken their hair once and for all. However, like any change of look, the transformation needs to be done in a planned and careful way. That's because having the strands stained because of the coloring not only gives that scramble in self-esteem but also harms the highlights. Find out how to go from blonde to red without fear!

Is it worth darkening the strands little by little

Even if the chosen red is more coppery and close to your blonde, the red is always darker than the bleached strands, because of the tone height. Therefore, change can have a very big impact, in addition to staining the wires when done in a hurry and without the right information. For this reason, the best option in this case is to darken the strands little by little, especially if you want to go from platinum to a burgundy red, for example, which is more closed, well drawn to wine.

Bet on the toner to go redhead

Another cool tip for blondes who want to invest in shades of red is to bet on the toner. The coloring is ammonia-free and therefore more gentle than permanent dyes. But make no mistake, diva! Even with the toner, you need to take some care before and after the change, following all the instructions in the explanatory leaflet, so that your new color is uniform and radiant.

Hair with highlights requires special care

If you're not completely blonde, but your hair is lightened with a highlighting technique, then the situation is even more cautious. It's just that before putting the red color on the strands, it is necessary to match the tones first and, in some cases, discolor even more. In that case, the best thing is to look for a trusted professional who can standardize the tone for you. Depending on the color of your strands, you need to discolor first and then do a pre-pigmentation, to return the pigments little by little and not to stain.

Beware of thread fading

Red hair is beautiful and striking, but the tone fades very easily. To avoid this fading, the first measure after changing the color is to invest in specific products for colored hair. In addition, the use of finishers with a UV filter guarantees protection from the sun's rays, which interfere with the color of the locks. Before using heat tools, be sure to apply a heat protectant to shield the wires. And hydration needs to be weekly, agreed, diva?
