Bleaching your hair can be a dramatic and exciting change, especially if you're going from dark or black hair to blonde. At Greet, we specialize in transforming even the darkest hair into a bright and beautiful blonde. In this article, we'll explore the process of bleaching dark and black hair to blonde, and how to maintain your new color.
Step 1: Consult with a Professional
Before you begin the bleaching process, it's important to consult with a professional stylist. Bleaching can be a tricky process, and it's important to understand the risks involved, such as damage and breakage. Your stylist will assess the health and condition of your hair, and create a customized plan to achieve your desired shade of blonde. That’s why before any color or bleaching we ask you to send us pictures of your hair and the results you want so we can tell you excalty how we would proceed ! It’s free and it will save lots of concerns !
Step 2: Prepare your Hair
Before bleaching your hair, it's important to prepare it for the process. Your stylist will likely ask you to avoid washing your hair for a few days prior to your appointment, as natural oils in your hair can help protect your scalp from the harsh chemicals in the bleach.
Step 3: Apply the Bleach
Your stylist will apply the bleach to your hair, starting at the ends and working their way up to the roots. Depending on the darkness of your hair, you may need to have multiple bleach applications to achieve your desired shade of blonde. Each application will be followed by a rinse and conditioning treatment to help protect your hair and scalp. At Greet we use Korean and Japanese products as well as L’Oréal lotions to ensure you hair is safe during the process.
Step 4: Tone Your Hair
After the bleaching process, your hair may have a yellow or orange tint. To achieve a true blonde shade, your stylist will need to tone your hair. This involves applying a semi-permanent or permanent hair color to neutralize any unwanted tones and give your hair a more natural-looking blonde shade.
Step 5: Maintain Your New Color
Maintaining your new blonde hair is essential to keep it healthy and vibrant. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for colored hair to prevent your color from fading. Deep conditioning treatments and regular trims can also help keep your hair looking and feeling its best. Use violet shampoo to make sure your hair stays blonde and doesn’t tune yellowish after e couple weeks.
It's also important to protect your hair from heat styling tools, such as flat irons and curling irons, as they can damage your hair and cause it to become dry and brittle. Use a heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools, and avoid using them on a daily basis.
