Pure blonde: how to create it?

All blondes dream of a beautiful hair color, without spots, stripes and color dissonance (when the roots are very warm and the length is very cold). However, achieving pure pastel blondes is not always possible.

When creating blonde hair, you need to take into account a number of nuances: UGT (tone depth level) with which you are working, the condition of the client’s hair, the desired result. It is necessary to diagnose the hair and find out its “history”. Often the lightest, almost transparent shades are achieved by bleaching the hair with powders, powders, creams or pastes.

If there is no need for such a light shade, then you can use a special range of cream paint, which will have a lightening ability of 4-5 tones. The choice of product will depend on the desired end result.

You also need to remember that any hair has a reserve and not everyone can withstand the load in the form of bleaching products. To find out whether it is possible to work with a particular product, you need to make a test strand. Test strands are selected from different parts of the head and dyed with 6% powder for 15-20 minutes. And only then can you determine whether the hair will withstand the next load in the form of bleaching along its entire length.

The shade of blonde can be different, and the very concept of blonde does not mean that hair color should be white, like a sheet of paper.

You also need to take into account that the process of achieving blonde on natural hair and on colored hair will be completely different. It is much easier to work with natural hair and get predictable results. With dyed hair you will have to work hard and, perhaps, do more than one process of lightening or bleaching.

Everything will depend on what and for how long the hair was dyed previously, how even the color is, how dense it is, etc., this is exactly why we need to make test strands. For a beautiful shade, we need to create a clean background against which we can create the client's dream color.

In any case, you should be friends with color, since the process of creating color is a whole science where you need to take into account a lot of factors and nuances to create the right algorithm for work.
