Maybe you’re contemplating changing your hairstyle to wear for the season ahead and the captivating “blonde shine” on the social media pages of your favorite celeb or influencer is appealing to you? If you’re a natural blonde hair, want to go between brunettes and blonde or just want some motivation Here are a few useful tips from a professional who has over 10 years experience in the industry of beauty you might want to think about before you make the big step of dyeing your hair blonde.
#1: Should You Go Blonde at All?
Look to your own hair. It’s not always a matter of how the hair you have is thick or thin or what the natural color is, or what color your skin. The year is 2021 and if wanting to have an exotic appearance is what you’re looking for and you want to go all out, then do it! The shades available are greater blonde that than fifty shades gray and if you have you the correct hair coloring expert you’ll only have to decide on which kind of blonde best suits the tone of your face (be it warm, cool or neutral). However with so many other aspects to think about your primary concern is the porosity of your hair. It’s about the health, or condition of your hair. This is it is the entirety of your research. Hair color that is lifted can be damaging therefore you must begin with healthy hair and the ability to nourish them even more.
#2: You Need to Prep for Blonde Hair
Let’s say that you haven’t been to the salon but. You’re still trying to find the right stylist by way of recommendations, Instagram, etc. As you research, the main objective is to keep your hair to be as healthful as it can be This is how to do it! Begin by applying 20 minutes of hair masks each week, either once or twice. Allow your hair to absorb the nutrients it needs to sustain and support bleaching. The final thing you’d like to do is to arrive at your appointment only to find that your hair isn’t at the right level to get lightened. What you want is to get the most effective outcomes from your appointment, and leaving having exactly the look you planned in mind, if not more and with the assurance that comes from the IG “Baddie”.
#3: Different Styles and Maintenance
Nowadays, there are numerous methods of coloring, including classic highlights, traditional balayage bleaching, foilayage and so on. Based on your color base, blonde hair goal, and the amount of maintenance you are able to take on, you could select one of these methods to dye your hair blonde Traditional and Babylight Highlighting (2-3 months upkeep) They are typically performed using foils and are suitable on all types of hair and tones. Balayage (3-6 months of upkeep) The Balayage technique is a method of hand-painting that gives natural sun-kissed, natural-looking the ends of your hair that are bright and dimensional. It’s best for natural blondes and lighter brown hair. Foilayage (2-4 months of upkeep) Consider this to be as a mix of the balayage method however, it is not using foils. This gives you greater control and more vivid coloring corrections. That’s why it’s ideal for brunettes with dark hair who want to go blonde. Tone and bleach (6-8 weeks of upkeep) This process requires applying bleach and toner from the base of the hair until its ends to achieve an all-over blonde appearance. This is the best option for those who want a platinum appearance.
#4: Find the Right Hairstylist
In today’s New World of social media Finding a stylist via Instagram is now easy – just take photos! Check out the stylist’s work. What is important in their work important for you? Don’t fall for Photoshop and gorgeous faces or the thousands of followers. I’ve encountered excellent stylists who aren’t so up-to-date on social media, but are fantastic and have a lot of years of expertise. This is the reason why referrals are equally beneficial. Everyone appreciates receiving compliments on their hair “great hair” compliment and you should not be afraid to express it (and be sure to ask for the hairdresser’s name) when you come across people whose hair you love. The most important thing is to observe the stylist’s strengths and inquire if they provide free consultations in salon prior to the date of service. Personally, I take the time to have lengthy 20-minute consultations with any new client. This is because I want to be sure my clients get the exact blonde desired or are on the path to get it.
#5: Plan Your Day
An error that is common is thinking that the first time bleaching is going to take two or three hours. However, while this may be the case for women, who have thick and long hair, the coloring process will take much longer. The rule of thumb is to do not make any other major commitments in a 5-hour time period. Be sure to bring everything you require and stay on your own. The last thing your stylist wants to do is distract them from their craft and getting your hair processed in the quickest way possible! Make sure to bring freshly washed hair or be sure to set aside additional time, and a suggestion to wash and dry your hair to get them prepared for your blonde session.
#6: Be Prepared to Meet Your Expectations
Be honest, stylists are only able to work with the information you give them to use. Think about your hair’s type and texture as well as your hair’s manageability. It’s an excellent idea to look for images of inspiration from Instagram or Pinterest which have the same natural hair styles, length and thickness to your own. Be aware that you may need to make multiple appointments. Discuss what your ultimate objective is, but don’t believe that you can accomplish it all in one visit The stylist will assist you in understanding what you can achieve and set the timeframe for your hair’s change.
#7: Mind the Price
Don’t be enticed by the trap of bargaining for a price. If you’re going to be blonde you’re committing. Not just to keep the color, but also to use products that will help aid in the health and appearance of your hair. Remember the saying “you are what you pay”? There are times when you may be at risk of paying for an item that does not give the results you expected or you’ll have to pay twice to fix it. It’s also the case with the quality of the products employed – this is what will determine the condition of the hair. If price is a key factor for you, inquire with your stylist which style will be medium, high, or low maintenance so that you know the best possible outcome of the investment you are making.
#8: Leave It to Professionals
Do you want to make your hair blonde? Please, don’t. Bleach is a toxic chemical which should be used for professionals only. Did you have any dyes from a box in your hair recently? Every hairdresser is scared to ask the question. However it is important to understand what the story behind your hair. Box-dye is a good way to the time lift blotchy hair, or at most likely trigger reactions. When you highlight your hair the aim is to evenly highlight to the blonde you want and a lovely light yellow to get the most effective results. If you have a prior bleaching incident or put the dye on for just 5 minutes and then the possibility of a color correction or chemical reaction might occur. This is a circumstance neither the stylist nor you would want to be in, unplanned thus honesty can aid the stylist in taking the necessary precautions that he must take to be prepared for.
#9: At Home Care
Prepare to give your blonde with plenty of TLC because it will get dry and brittle more quickly and damaged hair is not attractive. Before leaving the salon inquire with your stylist about the products they suggest. Every customer and every hair is unique. What you find on social media might not be appropriate for you. I’m pretty sure that your stylist will not guide you in the wrong direction as you’re their personal billboard, and they want maintain your hair as beautiful and healthy as it can.
