If you are not the lucky possessor of a natural blond hair, but you wish so much that color, think twice before making the big step, mainly if your natural hair color is a dark one. In the case of dark hair or black, a gradual dyeing is advisable. Do not expect to became a blond over the night, the color will be obtained progressively, keeping from henna or bleaching abuse.
Sun light has the role of lightening the natural hair color but is transient.
We do not recommend traditional techniques for hair’s lightening like oxygenation, vinegar or lemon juice. These methods are inefficient and dangerous for the hair, leading to its deterioration and hair loss.
In the case when your hair color is blond, let it be your natural one or by dyeing, you have to take care of it permanently.
It is better to know that blonde shades lose, in time, their intensity, so, do not expect that the brightness will be the one after dyeing.

THE EXPERT ADVICE
To have an uniform color do not let your hair to grow more than a month because the henna and even the bleach work more intense over the centimeter that grew than the entire hair,
beneficiating by the skin’s heat.
In cases when the hair’ s root is bigger than 1 centimeter, after dyeing you will obtain the color you wanted to over the first centimeter and a darker one over the rest of the hair, more orange.
Do not dye it always all your hair but only the root that grew.
But for the color refreshing I recommend you to put some henna over all your hair just in the last 5- 10 minutes.
Concerning the washing ritual, this has to start with a jet of cold water to obtain the necessary thermal amount for hair cuticle closure. Then you may wash with warm water, without rubbing the scalp with your nails, with an adequate shampoo for dyed hair. After tampon your hair with a dry towel and apply a nourishing mask over the length of the hair, softly massaging.
Easily ravel the hair with a comb with rare teeth and put a plastic bath helmet. Let the product to act for 10 minutes. Then rinse the hair with warm water and the last jet of water should be as cold as you bear, this giving a plus of brightness. Cuff it preferably with a brush, a hairdryer or curlers. Avoid the plate!
