Nowadays, a fair hair color can be obtained by any representative of the fair sex. If you take the means for dyeing at home, then lightening can be quite budgetary. There are an incredible number of paint brands, each brand has even more lines with its own characteristics, and each has brightening options. The article discusses the brand Garnier, line Color Sensation, shade "Garnier" 111, reviews of the specified paint.
What about before?
Ladies have wanted to become blondes since ancient times. The Germans used the most effective way. They put on hats without a bottom, and, having laid their hair on the fields of the hat, covered them with a mixture of beech ash, talc, lime and cinnabar. Then they were under the scorching sun. Direct sunlight could lighten dark hair to a light red tint.
And only in the 60s of the XIX century in France, hydrogen peroxide was invented. This lightening method was first used by the court hairdresser Hugo at the court of Empress Eugenia.
Lightening Options
If a girl decides to lighten her hair, then there are two ways to help her: in the salon and at home. It all depends on the initial conditions, namely, the initial color of the hair and their condition. It should be understood that black or dark chestnut hair is best dyed in a salon where there are professional products for faster and maximum destruction of dark pigment inside the hair. If the hair color varies from light blond to chestnut, lightening can be done at home. In addition, it is also many times more profitable than salon staining.
The only disadvantage of lightening at home may be not just one procedure, but several. In this case, an interval of a certain number of days or weeks is maintained, because it is difficult to get a platinum blonde the first time. Most often, after the first use of brightening paint, hair can give a red tint.

If you decide to lighten the strands yourself, then you should carefully study the nuances of the procedure so as not to spoil the hair.
