A rare modern woman will deny myself the pleasure to change the image. Perhaps she will not agree to radical change. Hair coloring is the best way to bring newness to the familiar look. For blonde women there are many options.
Features
A distinctive feature of blond hair is a small amount of pigment in comparison with dark and red curls. As a rule, natural blondes are rarely thick, although their number is greater than that of brunettes. Blond hair is thin, their structure is such that they become greasy faster than others and need to be washed. This is explained by the large number of hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
Despite these nuances, it is blond hair that is better than others to dye. Unlike dark and red, the pigment of any color lays well and evenly on them. In this case, it is not always necessary to resort to the preliminary straightening of the strands.
However, it is worth noting that it is blonde hair that needs increased protection from the negative effects of dyes. Therefore, the periods between staining have to increase.
When dyeing blond hair, it is important to consider the age of the woman. The fact is that the structure of hair of blondes changes with age. Their life cycle is shorter, they become thinner. In order to prolong the beauty and health of the curls, one has to carefully consider the choice of paint, select a comprehensive restorative procedure. Despite the fact that the thinning is not so noticeable on the background of light scalp, not every paint is suitable for use.
Coloring of a fair hair can be carried out on a natural locks or earlier painted. In the second case, before using the dye, it is necessary to perform blonding, washing away the pigment residues from the hair, thereby forcibly opening the hair scales. After that, the hair needs a week break to restore the structure. Then proceed to neutralize the yellowness, and only after that - to the color. With natural curls easier: to work with them is quite enough permanent paint.
When dyeing blond hair, you need to consider a few key rules.
- If possible, it is worth replacing resistant coloring preparations with products without ammonia. It is important to pay attention to their composition indicated on the packaging.
- When buying an oxidizer, it is important to take into account its percentage: in some cases, a 3% solution will be suitable for dyeing light curls.
- To give freshness and saturation to its natural color, it is enough to buy paint a couple of tones darker. She will stay on strands longer.
- Not every natural paint (for example, henna or basma) will give the desired result. Sometimes this color gives a green color.
- Cheap paint often do not give a beautiful shade. You need to buy the drug from a reputable manufacturer with a good reputation.
- Do not overdo the paint, as this may cause hair loss.
- You can not use the drug expired, as the reaction components may adversely affect the structure and condition of the strands.
- Do not wash off dyed hair with too hot water: this leads to drying, brittleness and weakening of hair follicles.
At primary coloring it is more preferable to address to the professional stylist. He will select the best color and type of product.In this case, the master can independently prepare a cocktail of coloring preparations, mixing them together and selecting the correct percentage of oxidizer.
Coloring blond hair is complete and partial. Wherein the choice of one or another option should be deliberate, focused on the color type of the woman, her lifestyle and the structure of the strands. Monochromatic coloring is considered a classic. It is actual out of time and is suitable for blondes of different ages with hair of different lengths.
Partial coloring today is diverse, it creates beautiful effects, including sun glare and giving volume to rare strands. For example, this can be achieved by dyeing individual strands by rubbing them with a dry brush. In addition, partial coloring allows you to create a creative image, which is often so eager for young people. Due to the use of bright pigments, it looks catchy, spectacular and stylish.
Hair coloring can be longitudinal, transverse and zonal (for example, if desired, you can paint only the temporal area or even the bangs). Today, the trend of creative coloring in different tones, which is performed on the curls of the back of the head, is gaining popularity. If you walk with flowing hair, creative coloring will not be visible, when stabbing strands up, it will open. This type of coloring is especially good for bright women of fashion who have to work in the office or study in educational institutions where there is a strict dress code.
By the type of impact on the curls, blond hair dyeing can be permanent and temporary. Dyes of the first type penetrate into the hair, which ensures a longer effect. Pigments of the second drugs envelop the hair outside, thereby creating a protective lamination film. That is why the strands after dyeing seem shiny and healthy.
However, these cosmetics have a significant drawback: they are washed away much faster than permanent paints.

- Each strand is treated with an oxidizing agent, prepared in full compliance with the requirements of the instructions attached to the paint.
- After the allotted time, the oxidizer is washed off from the strands, the washed curls are dried and divided into several sections.
- Next, the toner is applied on the straightened strands, distributing it in a uniform layer. Dye is applied to the tips twice: this is necessary to create a smooth transition.

Any greasy or baby cream can be applied to the skin along the hairline. The paint components are stirred in a special container and used immediately after preparation.
