The harsh war of blondes and brunettes is unlikely to ever reach the end. The opinion that blondes are dumber and do not understand jokes no longer has the same force as before. Now girls are happy to paint natural dark chestnut in a platinum blond - and it doesn't matter what color their eyes and skin are.

But before you achieve the beautiful desired shade of blond, the master in the salon will have to work hard with your hair. This technique, despite its apparent simplicity, implies a fairly strong effect on the hair, which is achieved by lightening their natural pigment, and therefore does not tolerate an amateur approach. The stylists of the beauty salon "Aesthetics" know, if not everything, then a lot about how to correctly turn you into a gentle and stylish blonde.

Blonding procedure is the process of complete elimination of hair pigment, that is, their discoloration. Blonding hair allows you to quickly and radically change your appearance, change your image or give your look a novelty. In addition, it is blonding that is the initial stage in a radical change in hair color.

Best suited for blonding are those hairs that naturally have little pigment. In other words, getting rid of natural blond pigment is much easier and faster than doing it with natural chestnut color. In general, the color of blon is quite insidious. For example, warm (golden, caramel, honey, etc.) tones look best on dark skin; ashen favorably set off light skin and blue or gray eyes; ultra-white color or complete bleaching of hair is most often chosen by bold and courageous fans of creative coloring, original highlighting and other non-standard solutions made by the method of shatush, balayazh, ombre or other complex techniques.

If we talk about the technology for performing blonding hair, then today beauty salons offer a choice of several ways to eliminate pigment. One of them is the so-called Scandinavian point, in which the hair roots at the crown are colored in a cold light tone, and the ends remain darker.

Another method of blonding is platyphysis, which gives the hair a platinum or silver tint as the main one. There are many other methods of lightening, for example, when the blond strands do not have clear boundaries, but are, as it were, spread throughout the head. This method is achieved by winding special cords on the head, on which strips with a thick brightening agent are applied. The peroxide solution can be applied to the crown of the head, after which it is covered with a powder clarifier, again with peroxide and finally with toner. This blonding results in a very beautiful play of light on the hair.

Blonding is considered one of the most harmful procedures for hair, so you should prepare for further hair care using various masks, balms and serums, shampoos and serums with blue pigments to eliminate unwanted yellowness.

If bleached hair is not carefully cared for, its appearance will leave a lot to be desired.

The blonding procedure has several limitations, which our masters definitely warn about:

• unsatisfactory hair condition, inflamed scalp or its hypersensitivity;
• recently carried out perm; it is better to wait 2-3 weeks or even more before blonding;
• hair coloring, especially henna - otherwise the result is unpredictable;

The guarantee of the expected result can be ensured if the blonding procedure is carried out by an experienced master in a beauty salon.

The technique of blonding is nothing more than lightening the hair with subsequent dyeing. For the procedure, professional lightening powders (blondorans), oxidizers based on hydrogen peroxide and unstable toning paints are used. Blonding is performed on light, red and dark hair. After dyeing, you can get almost any color: from dark to platinum blonde. Naturally, with a few caveats.

The easiest way to blonde is hair that is naturally light or has already been bleached during previous dyeing. You can give them the desired shade in just one procedure. In this case, you do not even have to resort to a strong percentage of the oxidizing agent, which means that the hair itself will practically not suffer.

The hardest part is with hair tinted or with natural red, brown and black shades. At the first clarification, they become reddish, so you have to either repeat the washing procedure, or use a higher concentration of the oxidizing agent.

The darker the original color, the more difficult it is to achieve a pure blonde. Most often, at the first blonding, the masters warn such clients that only warm shades can be achieved at a time: golden, slightly reddish. To go light, ultra light and platinum blonde, you have to wait. This is possible, but only after repeated blonding sessions. If everything is done during one procedure, the hair will turn into burnt tow or even begin to break off along its entire length.

Blonding technique

It is safest to perform blonding with professional cosmetics. It bleaches well, does an excellent job of neutralizing unwanted shades and is gentle on the hair and scalp. Among professional products, the lines ESTEL Professional, Wella Professional and Londa Professional are especially popular.

If you decide to carry out blonding hair at home, then you will need to purchase a powder or cream-clarifier, an oxidizing agent and an unstable tinting paint. When choosing a paint, buy one that is lighter by 2-3 tones of the desired shade.

If we take Wella as an example, then you need to buy Wella BLONDOR brightening cream, Welloxon Perfect Wella 6% oxidizer and Wella KOLESTON Perfect paint.

1. In a non-metallic bowl, dilute the clarifier with an oxidizing agent in a ratio of 1: 1 (for light) or 1: 2 (for dark).
2. Starting from the back of the head and moving away from the roots about 3 cm, apply the mixture over the entire length of the hair. Wait 20 minutes and process the roots. The root zone is processed at the final stage, because the rate of lightening near the scalp is faster due to the heat generated by it. After applying to the roots, the product must be kept for about 10-20 minutes. Over time, you need to decide on your own, focusing on how quickly the hair is lightened. The total holding time of the clarifier should not exceed 50 minutes.
3. Wash off the brightening agent with shampoo.
4. Dilute the paint with an oxidizing agent 1: 1. Apply to hair and soak for the time indicated in the instructions. The toning stage is a must in the blonding process. During bleaching, the pigment is washed out of the hair, their structure is disturbed and becomes porous. To restore them, it is necessary to fill the voids with new pigment, which is contained in the tinting paint.
5. After removing the paint, apply a regenerating mask to the hair.
6. A month later, when the roots grow back, blonding must be repeated, but only in the root zone.

The mixture is applied to the strands, to speed up the process, they are wrapped in foil. Washing can last from 15 minutes to 45, it depends on the color and structure of the hair.

After washing off with a blonde, the head is washed with a special shampoo with a balm - a color stabilizer that removes yellowness. After washing, the curls are tinted with paint with a small content of an oxidant.
