Using bleaching agents on the hair is recommended to only be carried out by hairdressing professionals. This is because using bleach can be dangerous and cause damage to the hair and skin. While bleaching your own hair seems like a cheaper option, it can become very costly. You can suffer hair loss, scalp burn or even skin blistering. Blue bleach powder is best used when going blonde. The blue pigment in the formula helps to counteract orange tones.
Blue bleach isn't limited to only those transitioning to blonde. Most hairdressers use this for all hair types when bleaching. It helps to bring up the foils the lightest shade if you're planning to put an additional colour over the top. White and violet bleach powder was also effective at lightening hair but are dependant on the clients colour and what they're trying to achieve.
Keeping Healthy Hair While Using Blue Bleaching Powder
It's no secret that bleaching the hair causes damage. It can lead to the hair becoming dry and brittle, sometimes snapping if not cared for correctly. Care for the hair pre, post and during the service is recommended. Adding bond builders into the bleach will ensure the hair isn't as damaged. It adds conditioning nutrients into the mix to help strengthen the follicles. Prior to the appointment, the client should have been using quality products that encourage hair strengthening and avoiding hot styling tools for optimum results. Post-treatment, encourage clients to use hair masks for dry hair. Adding leave-in moisturising treatments too will help reconstruct the hair promptly too. Regardless if you use blue bleach powder or any other colour bleach, the hair will still need a good regime for repair.
