Lightening up hair is a labour-intensive process. It involves a lot of work and will probably take a long time to do, if you want to keep the condition of your hair. If you are determined to be blonde or want to ditch those dark roots, here are some tips for going lighter:
- Do it slowly. If your hair is very dark, you probably won’t achieve your dream colour in the first sitting. Be patient with the process and take your time.
- Follow you stylist’s recommendations. They will be able to tell you whether a colour is realistic for you and whether it is something you are going to achieve.
- Be prepared for the condition to worsen. Lightening hair involves the use of a bleach. Even if it is a gentle bleach, it could well cause some damage to your hair. Use lots of good conditioners and nourishing treatments to help minimise this.
