You will need a hair lightener for both a dramatical look change, and for an easy transition to a lighter shade. In both cases, it’s important to know exactly what you can expect from the product. Especially for those who would like to lighten their curls, for example, by just 1-2 or 5-6 tones, we have prepared this article, keep on reading!
To begin with, it’s important to understand the difference between the two processes - lightening and discoloration. These words sound almost the same, but they have different meanings. Lightening is a process in which the original shade of the hair becomes lighter by 1-4 tones. In the process of lightening, the natural pigment of the hair lightens and is partially destroyed. Discoloration (bleaching) is a process in which a natural or artificial pigment is washed out of the hair structure completely, leaving the hair hollow (empty) inside. It’s commonly believed so, however, part of the pigments remains, creating a lightening background.
Here are the lightening products that we recommend:
1. Lightening oil. That’s an option for those who care about the condition of their curls and choose the most sparing products. The oil is designed to easily lighten one to two tones in just 30 minutes. By the way, stylists often use this oil to create trendy Californian highlights.
2. Alkaline lightened has a more pronounced effect - it lightens your hair by five levels of tone. Thus, a woman with light brown hair can easily get a beautiful blond with exquisite hues.
3. Another option is a lightening cream. It is able to lighten up the tone up to six levels, which makes it an intermediate link between brightening and bleaching products.
