For natural brunettes who want to radicalize their look and invest in platinum blonde, some news: you will need to bleach your hair. “The darker the hair, the larger the melanin and the harder it will be to lighten. The thickness of the thread and the porosity can also influence a different result in each hair”, guaranteed hairdresser Jacqueline Cláudia.

Permanent coloring only has the ability to lighten up to three tones. If your hair is medium brown (4.0), for example, the most you will be able to lighten it is a light blonde (7.0). "Any result that the consumer wants and that is superior to the lightening of three tones, it will be necessary to discolor the natural pigment of the thread with bleaching powder and hydrogen peroxide", explained the expert. It is worth mentioning that these examples are for virgin locks!

Brunettes with dyed hair will have to undergo pickling

The rule is simple: coloring does not lighten coloring! If you are a brunette and have already dyed your hair, pickling is the solution to a platinum blonde. The technique cleans the color that is on the wires so that a new nuance is applied. “No cosmetic colored hair can be lightened with any other tone, no matter how light it may be”, points out Jacqueline.

The hairdresser also explains that after pickling, your hair needs to reach a very light yellow tone so that the platinum blonde can be applied to the strands. As explained above, depending on how dark your hair is, you may need to go through more than one session of the technique.

Did you platinum your hair? It's time to take care of the new look

Platinum hair needs special care, mainly due to discoloration. After investing in the very light blonde, set up your capillary schedule with hydration, nutrition and capillary cauterization.

Cauterization is done with liquid keratin and will return the capillary mass lost during chemical processes, in addition to repairing damage to the fiber. The treatment should only be done once a week so as not to stiffen the hair.

Hydration can enter twice a week interspersed with nutrition, which restores the necessary nutrients for the wires to be healthy and soft.
