Hair is made up of "layers". These layers contain the underlying pigments in hair. Pale yellow all the way to blue. Depending on how dark the hair is. The lightener (peroxide) eats through the blue, the red, the orange and so on depending on how light you're going. (This is also why some people get 'orange' hair when going lighter.) It weakens/destroys theses layers. Everyone has different hair textures and strengths. The ''levels" are different from person to person. And there are different levels of peroxides used for lightening. If making the choice to go lighter, go to a professional.
you have to light your hair with a lightener which will prob damage it a lot.
If bleach (or lightener) is left on the hair for an extended period of time, severe damage may occur to the hair, or worse, the hair may break off completely.
To apply a lightener retouch, section the hair and mix the lightener according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the lightener to the regrowth area only, avoiding overlapping onto previously lightened hair. Process accordingly and rinse thoroughly once desired lightness is achieved.
Hi-lift hair lightener should only be used by professional hair colorist, but should you choose to experiment you can buy it at any place such as Sally's.
Yes it is okay to add some conditioner to your developer. Everyone knows that lightener/bleach is bad for your hair and dries it out, but there are two kinds of lighteners/bleach, on the scalp and off the scalp. The on the scalp lightener already have some type of conditioning agents in it, not saying that it won't damage your hair but it is better if you use some high quality lightener and developer, as it conditions while it's lifts. You can also add some protein conditioner to your mixture you already have as it will be better for your hair and less damaging.
mousse is perfectly safe for you hair it is just a nautral lightener or somthing to make your hair poof
Hydrogen peroxide acts as an oxidizing agent in lightener formulas, breaking down the natural pigment in hair by releasing oxygen. This process lightens the hair by removing color molecules.
After awile, the Sun in will fade, or it will just grow out of your hair.
Hydrogen peroxide are mixed with dye and or lightener/bleach to make your hair lighter.
Lemon juice is a natural lightener for hair, so absolutely! HOWEVER it strips your hair by negatively affecting the pH, so your hair will have split ends, be unhealthy, and likely fall out. I strongly suggest buying a serious hair dye/lightener. Lemon juice would have the same effect as peroxide on your hair.
I would say bleach so that you can get your old color off first. If you just use the lightener first it will just make your hair a lighter color.
you cant. you have to lift it with lightener.
