Hair bleaching at home is the goal of many women, but not every representative of the beautiful half of all mankind knows exactly how to do this correctly and safely. First of all, you should think about the fact that the clarifying agent should not harm - neither the skin nor the hair itself. There are several tools that will help to make the desired effect - one of the easiest to use and at the same time popular is hydrogen peroxide, with which hair bleaching will pass quickly, although not without certain damage. For safer lightening, it is best to choose an oil-based product, usually in the form of a cream or powder, which, in combination with hydrogen peroxide (softening it), will have the necessary effect on the hair.
When planning to bleach hair at home, it is worth remembering that all chemical cosmetic preparations intended for this include hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, that is, products that are among all the colors the most powerful, affecting natural hair pigments and neutralizing them. That is why many women believe that it is much safer to use not factory paints, but ordinary peroxide - in the form of tablets, solutions or powders. In order not to harm its natural decoration, this product should be diluted with ammonia (6-7 drops), a small amount of shampoo and glycerin (5-6 drops). Before dyeing, the hair should not be moistened, since the preserved fatty grease can to some extent protect the structure and hair follicles.
If you want to lighten the hair on the body, then remember: the duration of the procedure should not exceed several minutes, otherwise, instead of discoloration, you can get an ugly yellowish or reddish tint. If the procedure affects only the hair on the head, then hydrogen peroxide can be maintained for up to 15-30 minutes, depending on which shade is planned to be obtained. Another important point - after clarification, the hair must be washed with an alkaline (in the worst case, slightly alkaline) product and neutralized with slightly acidified water. Re-bleaching hair at home can be carried out no earlier than 3-4 weeks after the strands grow from the roots, and a solution of hydrogen peroxide can only be applied to these areas.
Sometimes it is necessary not to change the color of the hair radically, but only to slightly lighten them, giving the natural color a different shade. Some natural remedies can help in this case, for example, a clarifying mask with honey. Before using it, the hair should be prepared - rinse with shampoo and a small amount of soda, make a light massage without washing off the resulting foam, then rinse the shampoo and dry the curls with a towel. Further, you can apply honey of any kind on the head, wrap the hair with a film and a towel, but not too tightly, since in this case the brightening properties of honey will not be very active. After 8-10 hours (the procedure is best performed at night), the curls will acquire an even golden hue, shine and a feeling of silkiness. It is believed that such a bleaching of hair at home is similar to bleaching with hydrogen peroxide, but it is much safer, since honey also produces useful substances that strengthen the structure of curls, hair follicles, healing and removing inflammation from the scalp.
The option with honey can be considered optimal, as it allows you to achieve the desired result without harm. A mask with honey can also be used if bleaching of facial hair is required - this method cannot be called quick, but it allows you to achieve the maximum possible effect.
