Things To Know Before Bleaching Your Hair

Before bleaching your hair, it's crucial to have a basic understanding of the process. Bleaching involves using chemicals to lighten the natural pigments in your hair.

Check the condition of your hair before bleaching. If your hair is damaged, dry, or has undergone chemical treatments recently, it may not be suitable for bleaching.

Selecting the right bleaching product is vv important to get the desired results and minimise hair damage. There are various options available, such as powder bleach and cream bleach etc. Consider factors like your hair type, and desired level of lightness to use the product.

Before applying bleach to your entire head, perform a strand test. Apply a small amount of bleach to a small section of your hair and check how it reacts. This would help you understand the time needed, possible allergies etc.

Preparing your hair properly prior to bleaching is another important step. Avoid washing your hair for a day or two before bleaching, as the natural oils act as a protective barrier. Detangle your hair to ensure even application and use a barrier cream or petroleum jelly to protect your scalp.

Take the time to read and understand the instructions thoroughly to avoid any mishaps or undesirable outcomes, if you are getting your hair bleached at home.

Timing is crucial when bleaching your hair - you can set a timer and keep a close eye on the progress to achieve the desired level of lightness.

After bleaching, make sure to take extra care of your hair to minimise damage and maintain its health.

• Use colour-safe and sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for bleached hair.
• Deep conditioning treatments, hair masks, and regular trims can help restore moisture and prevent split ends.

Remember, when it comes to hair bleaching, proper preparation and after-care are key!
