Black hair attracts attention due to its color and the mirror-like shine that results when the strands are well taken care of. However, you can achieve a brighter effect with the various highlighting techniques, softening the dark tone - if that is your will. Despite being a difficult shade to lighten, it is possible to change the look without changing the color contrast so much and adopting lightened black hair. Do you want to see it? Check it out on Stay Diva!

Bet on the warmest tones for soft lighting

Those who have naturally black hair know that the lightening process is not so simple. It's just that dark pigmentation only lightens up to three tones, so the lighter colors don't catch on black hair at first. For those who color the locks, this process is even slower, since, according to the rules of colorimetry, coloring does not lighten the color.

In this case, the best choice is to leave the very light tones aside and bet on warm colors, such as honey, chocolate, copper and woody tones to conquer your lit black hair. In addition to making the look very sophisticated, these nuances illuminate in a more subtle way. Of course, if you want to bet on blonde locks, there is no problem at all, but be aware that the process takes longer and gives a greater contrast, since the locks are more marked.

Bet on the lightened brunette trend in black hair to lighten the strands with a natural effect

If you are looking for a natural look, the light brunette look on black hair is a great option for you! The idea is to subtly lighten the strands without turning blonde, achieving lightened black hair with a natural effect. For this, you must choose the right tone - lightened honey brunette, golden light brown, caramel blonde and golden blonde, for example - and ensure that your strands are healthy to withstand the damage of the chemical procedure.

Lightened black hair: 4 tips to lighten the strands and achieve the look

There are some things that you, diva, need to know before betting on the lightened black hair look. With that in mind, here are some tips to conquer the look:

1st tip: it's important that your black hair is healthy so that it can withstand the damage of bleaching and coloring. So don't do the procedure before doing treatments that restore the health of the wires, okay?

2st tip: make a hair schedule before coloring your hair to make sure your strands are healthy. This involves capillary hydration, nutrition and reconstruction treatments, which must be done with specific treatment creams for each stage up to one month before the transformation.

3st tip: discoloration is an aggressive procedure for the threads that, if not done with quality dye, can cause breakage, excessive frizz and split ends. Therefore, it is essential that a trusted hairdresser perform the procedure so that you get less damaged lightened black hair.

4st tip: after discoloration, it's time to apply the coloring with the desired nuance. Our suggestion is that you invest in a color that has a moisturizing treatment. Thus, the result is a lit black hair full of shine!

Ombré hair and babylights are some options to lighten black hair

There are several techniques of locks to lighten the wires. However, as we know that lightened black hair takes a little more work, the tip is to invest in methods that are more relaxed and require less touch-ups.

The babylights, for example, are thin strands spread along the entire length, which illuminate with more discretion. Ombré hair, on the other hand, does not touch the roots and makes a gradient of tones, perfect for those who do not like to go to the salon so often to touch up.

Light black hair needs care

It's not because you didn't lighten all your hair that it doesn't need care. As the color tends to lose its shine with the day-to-day routine, the locks can fade and become dry. Therefore, investing in lightened black hair care is fundamental.

Specific products for colored threads help to keep the dark color always vibrant. In addition, finishers with a UV filter protect locks from sunlight and daily aggressions. And don't forget hydration to take care of the wires.
