Many people find blonde hair extremely attractive, for some it is even an ideal of beauty. That's why many women and men strive for blonde hair. However, only two percent of the entire world population is naturally blonde. Everyone else has to help if they want to fulfill their dream of having light hair. As early as 1867, the English pharmacist EH Thiellay and the Parisian hairdresser Léon Hugo invented the method of chemical hair lightening, i.e. bleaching, and presented it at the World Exhibition in Paris. There is now an alternative to bleaching that is much gentler on your hair, namely the bleaching wash. We'll explain to you what it's all about, what you need to know about it, what you need and of course how to use it.
WHAT IS A BLONDERING WASH?
With a bleaching wash you can lighten your hair in a gentle and gentle way using a paste made from various ingredients, which we will discuss in more detail later . Of course, the bleaching wash cannot turn black hair into blonde, but a lightening result of two to a maximum of three color levels is possible and realistic. You can have the method carried out by your trusted hairdresser or use it yourself at home with the right ingredients and our instructions.
WHEN IS A BLONDERING WASH USED?
If you want to gently lighten your hair by two to a maximum of three shades, the bleaching wash is perfect for you. This way you can approach your new, lighter hair color in small, controllable steps. By the way, the bleaching wash can also do a good job and be very helpful in removing remnants of previous hair coloring.
WHAT EXACTLY IS NEEDED FOR A BLONDERING WASH?
You will need a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients, a container to mix the paste, a small whisk to mix it, a sponge to apply it, as well as disposable gloves and a hair cape or towel to protect your hands and clothing. For the paste you need exactly the same chemicals that are used for bleaching, i.e. bleaching powder and hydrogen peroxide. Measure 30 g of both using the kitchen scale. Add 5 ml of shampoo, e.g. B. Balance Eco, and 60 ml water. You have to mix all the ingredients well. You should no longer use the container or whisk for food afterwards.
HOW IS A BLONDERING WASH PERFORMED?
Lightening your hair with a bleaching wash works almost like normal hair washing, but you don't have to wet your hair beforehand. Once you have put on the disposable gloves, spread the mixed paste onto your dry hair with the sponge and then massage it in with circular movements, causing the paste to foam up. You have to work quickly because the effect is immediate and the result can be uneven if you are too slow. When applying, start in the lengths and work your way up to the roots. The paste must be distributed evenly throughout the hair. Remember to wear a dressing cape or drape a large enough towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing.
HOW LONG DOES THE BLENDING CASH HAVE TO LEAVE?
The exposure time depends on how light you want your hair to be and whether it has already been colored before or not. It is better to check too often than too little. For uncolored hair, five to ten minutes are often enough to achieve the desired result. For hair that has already been colored, the exposure time can be up to 20 minutes. Once you have achieved the desired level of whitening, you need to rinse the paste thoroughly. You should then pamper your hair with a moisturizing treatment, such as the Harmony Mask.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLENDING AND A BLENDING WASH?
When bleaching, the chemicals used act in high concentrations on the hair structure and put a lot of strain on it. The hair can dry out and become brittle. A bleaching wash is much gentler on your hair. Although the degree of lightening that can be achieved is not as high as with bleaching, your hair will thank you for the gentler treatment.
IS BLONDERING HARMFUL FOR HAIR?
The bleaching powder and hydrogen peroxide are weakened and no longer as concentrated when diluted and mixed with shampoo and water. The application is therefore gentle on the hair structure. The hair dries out less and does not become strawy.
