Wella Professionals Blondor Powder Bleaching Powder

Product Information

Darker regrowth is all the more visible against lighter shades, so remind your client how important it is to book in for regular colour touch-ups. While balayage can be low maintenance, maintaining blonde hair from root to tip – especially on brunette hair – means root coverage every 6-8 weeks is a must.

In between your highlights, add accent lights through the warm base tone with a darker shade of blonde. Every fourth weave should be this accent shade, applied under the recession area for a hint of depth. Step 3: Gloss and Glow Sensitive scalps can become irritated during close-to-root bleach application, so if you’re opting for highlights that start near the scalp, ask your colourist to apply a skin protector first. If you visit a Wella salon, they can treat your sensitive scalp to the Marula Oil Blend Scalp Primer; a comforting protector that nourishes delicate skin without altering or diluting your colour formula. 2.

However, he advises against using them at home and instead says to ask your stylist if they can lighten your hair with a particular brand.Choose your Special Blondes shades carefully, opting for 12/03 or 12/07 for a caramel blonde, and 12/11 or 12/89 for ash blonde highlights through brunette hair.

Choosing the best lightener and developer is challenging," says color specialist Jodana Geary, "and you may end up with an unwanted result that compromises the condition of your hair." Additionally, the lighteners used at salons aren't what you'd find on the drugstore shelf.

Start applying hair lightener where your client craves the highest level of lift. For example, if you know they want some brightness through the front, begin sweeping on their half head highlights here. These are the sections that will end up having lightener on them for longer, so they’re likely to lift higher, creating an ultra-radiant effect. Consider also adding one or two ribbons on the bottom layers of hair. If they tend to wear their hair up, just a couple of light, lower streaks will create a more seamless effect. 4. Perfect with Toner The techniques above are designed for lightening hair that has never been colored before. But what do you do if your client’s hair still has remnants of a previous toner or lightener? Using a tint will not be sufficient if your client has previously colored their hair. If you want to reduce oxidative color depth and tone, you can try Color Renew, which is a gentle alternative to persulfate products (pre-lighteners). This will reduce oxidative color while respecting the natural hair melanin. The best way to prepare hair for bleaching is to avoid heat styling or chemical treatments for a week prior, to ensure the hair is in a fairly natural state. You'll also want to moisturize ahead of time, as bleaching is an incredibly drying process. As for whether hair should be clean or dirty prior to bleaching, that is up for debate—though most stylists agree it's best not to wash your hair for a day or two prior, to ensure your natural oils are intact before stripping the hair.Sensitive scalps can become irritated during close-to-root bleach application, so if you’re opting for highlights that start near the scalp, ask your colorist to apply a skin protector first. If you visit a Wella salon, they can treat your sensitive scalp to the Marula Oil Blend Scalp Primer; a comforting protector that nourishes delicate skin without altering or diluting your color formula. 2.
