EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOIN BLONDE
Let's just be honest: There's plenty of reasons why you shouldn't go blonde in one day. Typically clients aren't able to go from black to blonde in the same day but in some rare cases, we can!
Step 1. CONSULTATION:
This is where me and the client get personal and honest about what "we've really done to our hair"
- Have you done any box dyes?
-Do you use professional shampoo at home?
- When was the last time you got your hair colored or lightened?
This is where we decide on whether or not you're a good candidate for lightening or not.
To be blunt, a box dyed client is not a good client for blonding... :/
Step 2. PREPARATION:
Depending on the integrity of your hair, you may need to get a treatment done a few weeks before the initial lightening process.
- At-home treatments and professional in-salon treatments are not created equal.
Step 3. LIGHTENING/TREATMENT:
During the lightening process, using a treatment (preferably olaplex) inside of the lightener is ideal.
Whats olaplex?
It's a system that permanently rebuilds the damaged disulphide bonds in your hair that are broken during the chemical process. If you've over-bleached or had your hair highlighted for years, Olaplex allows you to rebuild the strength, structure and integrity of your hair; a 'reset' for your locks, if you will.
Step 4. Toning:
Let's talk, Toners!
This is what takes a very bright lightened hair color to a calm, not so yellow or brassy blonde.
My favorite is: Redken Shades EQ
Step 5: After-care:
It's important I send my clients home with after-care products so that they're able to treat their hair with care until I see them next!
