Discoloration of hair roots. How to lighten hair roots at home

A strange pattern - every blonde wants to become a brunette at least once in her life, and vice versa, girls with dark locks certainly want to lighten them. How to dye the dark roots of a blonde if they are already long enough and visually look completely sloppy? This can only be done if you know a number of nuances.

Choosing the right dye

To avoid having to wear makeup every couple of weeks for the rest of your life, or to avoid getting pink or green in your hair instead of the desired shade, you need to listen to the advice of professionals. First of all, a blonde with dark roots must decide what is a higher priority for her. The choice of dye directly depends on this. If the roots do not differ radically from the rest of the hair color, you can try dyeing them using a gentle method. Today, the manufacturer offers a lot of them and in completely different versions - these are tint gels, balms, foams and shampoos. The main advantage of such products is that they do not harm the hair at all; rather, on the contrary, they make it more vibrant and shiny due to the caring substances in their composition. They are washed off after the 6-8th wash, paint over lightly, no more than one or two tones, and require frequent use.

If a blonde with dark roots sets a goal to grow her hair to a natural shade, she should choose a second or third level dye. The difference here is that soft ammonia-free dyes of the second level will have to be used a little more often; they are washed off from the hair faster. Coloring agents with the third level of durability certainly work better and last on the hair for at least a month, but they have a detrimental effect on their structure.

Deciding on the right shade

Dyeing the roots dark for blondes is not an easy process and requires careful selection of the desired color. Ideally, it will coincide with its native one, and for this it is best to visit the nearest professional store and use a farb card. Working with her is not at all difficult; the main thing here is to understand the numbers and clearly define your wishes. The first number in each of the natural colors represented in it determines the level of lightness. We also take into account here that each company has its own numbering system; on this matter, it is better to consult with a seller knowledgeable in these matters. The second number is the paint color itself, and the third is its shade. So, for example, color 7.35 is a golden nut.

Professionals point out an important point here: if paint from a different company or with a darker shade was previously used to darken the roots, the result may be unexpected, even green or red. Therefore, if there are radical changes in color or lightening it by more than one or two tones, it is better to go to a good specialist for advice.

Tips for successful coloring

A blonde with dark roots, that is, having grown out her natural color, as well as girls who decided to do the coloring procedure on their own for the first time, should take into account a number of tricks that stylists always use:

When dyeing tone on tone, if you want to achieve a smooth transition from dyed hair to the root, it is better not to use the 6% oxidizing agent completely, but to use only one third of its bottle - this way the effect of the dye on the hair will be more gentle.
Dyeing the roots should be done in stages: first we apply the composition to this part of the hair, wait the allotted time, usually 15-20 minutes, and then use a comb with even teeth to distribute the dye over all curls.
One of the important secrets of specialists is that radical play with color can bring out a different shade on the hair. Here you need to be very careful, for example, if the roots were previously painted in a golden hue, and now you want to turn them light brown, the result will be emerald green.

Natural dyes

If a girl decides to return to her native color and doesn’t want to spoil her hair anymore, how can she dye her roots dark for a blonde in this case? This is where vegetable dyes come to the rescue. They have long been used by Eastern women, whose beauty and thickness of hair the whole world has heard about. Such natural dyes not only do not spoil the hair, but, on the contrary, improve its appearance. Henna is used to dye weakened hair to strengthen and heal it. But there are some nuances here too. It is perfect for hair prone to oiliness; frequent use of henna will dry out weak curls even more. Also, such a natural dye has one biggest drawback: it is not washed out of the hair over time, and if you decide to dye your strands with henna, think well, they will be healthy, but you won’t be able to change the color.

Preparatory stage

It is better to consider how to dye your roots dark blonde, step by step, especially if this procedure is performed independently for the first time:

It is better to choose a high-quality product for coloring; its cost, of course, is noticeably higher, but the composition will contain many useful and hair-care substances.
When dyeing yourself, you should not choose a shade that is radically different from your own hair color. Limit yourself to a difference of 2-3 tones.
Prepare the required amount of coloring composition in advance so that it is enough to cover the entire surface of the head, and the result is uniform.
Shades for dark roots and light ends must be in harmony.

Do-It-Yourself Coloring Tools

They also need to be prepared in advance so as not to be distracted during the process and end up with an uneven tone on the roots. You will need:

selected hair dye;
any oily skin cream;
non-metallic container;
brush for applying coloring composition;
old unnecessary towel;
hair clips;
a special comb with a thin handle for convenient separation of strands.

Staining procedure

Before using paint, be sure to read the instructions for it. To get the result - blonde with dark roots - it is better to start dyeing by first washing and drying your hair. To prevent the skin from staining, apply a rich cream to it and dilute the required amount of coloring composition.

The sequence of actions when painting the roots dark or lightening them is almost the same. The only difference is that the dark pigment eats into the skin, so a rich cream is needed; when lightening, more attention must be paid to the high-quality coloring of each hair, since the light gaps will be clearly visible.
A blonde with dark roots will look most harmonious when dyed using the balayage technique. Here it is important to color the roots first, and then pay attention to the ends. By the way, you can lighten only the ends and middle of your hair, then the roots will remain healthy, it all depends on the original color of the curls.

Master Class

Do not forget to test for an allergic reaction, after which you can proceed with the procedure:

we divide the hair into four approximately equal zones, or, more simply, with a cross - one parting in the middle, the other strictly perpendicular to it;
don’t forget about gloves: using a brush, apply the color mixture first to the middle parting, then use a long comb to separate a small strip of hair from one of the four strands and so, step by step, paint the entire head;
Having worked through everything, gather the curls back into buns and pay attention to the temporal and parietal areas;
the head can be wrapped in cellophane and left for the required time;
if you only need to get dark roots, it is not recommended to comb and move the dyed hair, so that the coloring pigment is not distributed over areas we don’t need;
rinse the mixture off your head with warm water, be sure to apply a special care product.

Nowadays blondes with dark roots are at the peak of fashion, the photo proves the beauty of this coloring. A dark, correctly colored root zone gives fair-haired girls a natural look and beautifully shades the face, making its features more expressive.

Such is a girl’s nature - to constantly search for herself, experiment with her appearance, change what is given by nature. Changes also affect our hair: a brunette wants to have snow-white hair, a blonde tries to become red or black, a brown-haired woman tries to dye her hair wine color, and so on ad infinitum. But many women dream of blond hair, looking at photos of blondes, and wonder how to bleach their hair at home?

How to lighten hair effectively and quickly - instructions

The most effective method for obtaining a light head of hair is to use peroxide or a special lightening paint. Whatever remedy you choose, you need clear, practical instructions for action. After all, it is important not only to get what you want, but also to protect your hair as much as possible from the negative effects of the product.

Before bleaching, you should not wash your hair for about two or three days - this is an important condition. What is it for? During this period, a natural layer of fat is formed, protecting each hair. The selected bleaching agent is applied with a synthetic bristle brush or a wooden stick with a cotton layer wrapped around it. You should start from the back of the head, moving forward strand by strand. Another condition is to lubricate the forehead at the roots of the hair with greasy cream or Vaseline. This will protect the skin from chemical burns.

To prevent the lightening composition from splashing or dripping from your hair, add a little liquid soap to it, but not shampoo, otherwise the lightening process will slow down. The hair roots will lighten the fastest due to the heat released from the scalp. Therefore, take this into account when applying and start from the ends, distributing the product along the length. Then wait until you get the desired color, moisten the strands again and apply a lightening composition to the roots. This way you can achieve an even color.

When the strands have reached the desired color, gently rinse them with water at a comfortable temperature for your head. While washing, lightly massage your head with your fingertips. It is better not to use shampoo, replacing it with soap without alkali. When your hair is washed, make a rinse from water with lemon juice or vinegar and apply to your hair. This will slightly restore the curls and also neutralize the hydrogen peroxide.

How to lighten dark, light brown and highlighted hair

How to bleach hair at home, what to use for this? The following means are traditionally used:

White henna or supra;
Folk remedies;
Store-bought paint;
Hydroperite;
Hydrogen peroxide.

Hydroperite

An elementary method of bleaching hair by several tones, which does not require special expenses.

Method of preparation: you need to crush two tablets of hydroperite with a teaspoon. Dilute the resulting powder in a ceramic or glass container with two ampoules of ammonia and a tablespoon of shampoo.
Application: Apply the resulting product to your hair and leave for five minutes. After the specified time, thoroughly rinse your hair with warm water. Remember that you won’t be able to achieve snow-white strands right away. At first, the hair will look yellow, so you need to do the procedure again.

Peroxide

Using peroxide is an effective bleaching method. It is important to follow some rules here:

For hard and thick strands, 8-12% peroxide is used, for thin strands - 5%, and for curls of medium thickness - 6% composition;

To enhance the reaction, if the concentration is low, ammonia or ammonium bicarbonate is added. This opens the hair scales and activates the release of hydrogen peroxide.

The composition itself must be diluted in an enamel, porcelain or plastic bowl, and applied with a synthetic brush or plastic comb. Before the procedure itself, it is advisable not to wash your hair so that natural oils protect the hair from burns. The solution is prepared from 60 g of peroxide, 50 g of water, 40 g of shampoo, three teaspoons of ammonia or ammonium bicarbonate.

Before you start, lubricate your forehead with a rich cream, protect your hands with gloves and do a test on the skin behind your ear to make sure there is no allergic reaction. Apply the composition to the entire length of the hair: for those with fair hair, once is enough, but for brown-haired women, the procedure must be repeated after some time (2-3 weeks). Afterwards, the head is washed with a care product and rinsed with acidified water to stop the lightening and smooth out the scales.

Supra

Supra or white henna is a chemical hair bleaching agent. It contains magnesium peroxide, ammonium salt, and magnesium oxide.

Method of preparation: to carry out the procedure, supra is poured into a container not made of metal and filled with an activator, which is usually sold as a kit. The result should be a composition with the consistency of sour cream. If there is no activator, then use 3% or 6% peroxide for dilution. The container should be heated over a candle.

Application: the composition is applied to the hair, left for half an hour and washed off without using shampoo. Next, the hair must be dried and rinsed with acidified water.

Folk remedies for hair bleaching

All chemical bleaching methods injure the hair structure and dry out the curls. The coloring pigment penetrates deeper by washing away natural fats and loosening the cuticle. To minimize the damage, home remedies for discoloration come to the rescue.

Lemon

Lemon juice has a lightening effect due to the incomplete destruction of pigment by the acid that is part of the fruit. Direct sunlight enhances the effect. Pure lemon juice only bleaches individual strands of hair, not all of your hair. Since citric acid has a pronounced keratolytic property, flaking and dandruff may appear after using citrus.

Method of preparation: dilute the juice of half a lemon with water in a ratio of one to three, add chamomile infusion at the rate of half a pack per glass of boiling water and two tablespoons of castor or olive oil. This recipe will help not only lighten your curls, but also soften the effect of the acid and prevent overdrying.

Application: the mask remains on the head for two hours.

Honey

Honey works as a clarifying agent due to the natural hydrogen peroxide found in the sweet nectar. And peroxide, as we already know, can bleach hair. The release of this substance occurs due to the iron in honey. But the final result depends on the porosity of the hair and how well it absorbs honey.

Method of preparation: combine honey and olive or coconut oil in a two to one ratio. Add half a banana to the mixture and mix with a mixer so that there are no lumps.

Application: the mass is infused for fifteen minutes to release natural hydrogen and applied to the hair for forty minutes.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is another natural bleaching agent. To use this spice, make the mixture according to the recipe below.

Method of preparation: combine 3 tablespoons of cinnamon with three tablespoons of honey diluted with distilled water in a ratio of two to one, 100 ml of conditioner, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 100 ml of olive oil. Leave the mixture for an hour.

Application: Comb wet hair and apply mixture generously. Pin up your hair and put on a plastic cap. Leave the mixture on your head for three to eight hours and rinse with shampoo.

Chamomile

Chamomile is a common and simple method for getting light golden hair color.

Method of preparation: to do this, pour two tablespoons of dried flowers with a glass of boiling water. Place the mixture in a steam bath for fifteen minutes.

Application: cool the broth, strain and rinse your hair after washing with shampoo. To improve the effect, add the same amount of fresh or dried nettle to chamomile flowers.

Kefir

You can try to lighten your hair a little with kefir masks. This fermented milk product penetrates the hair scales and washes out the pigment. Thanks to this, the paint is partially washed off, or the natural color changes slightly.

Method of preparation: you need to mix an egg, half a glass of kefir, two tablespoons of vodka or cognac, a little shampoo, the juice of half a lemon.

Application: the resulting mass is applied to the hair, wrapped in polyethylene and a towel and left for two hours or more, up to eight hours. Afterwards, the hair is washed with shampoo and conditioner.

Greetings, my subscribers! Today I want to talk about how to lighten your hair roots at home. This is a relevant question for me, because I have been changing colors for many years. I used to think that dealing with overgrown roots was the job of professionals. Now I know that there are many natural remedies and inexpensive options for getting the perfect tone for your curls.

There are three ways you can change the color of regrown dark roots.

The first is, of course, to contact salon for professional painting. As a rule, this is the safest option with a predictable ending. We get approximately what we need.

But the main disadvantage is the issue of price.

This procedure can cost up to 5000-10000 rubles. Agree, it’s a lot of money. Paying them every month to correct regrown roots is wasteful.

The second way is self-tinting professional and popular paints. You can buy them in the store at a variety of prices. The effect, of course, will also be different (price still affects quality). It's best to choose professional products. They cost more, but in any case, it will be cheaper than visiting the hairdresser.

Do not apply products to clean hair, it is better to leave it on for a couple of days. don't wash your hair to protect your scalp.

One more point - you must always follow the instructions exactly so that the entire procedure takes place without harm to the skin. I advise you to use a tint balm after applying the paint to remove any yellowness and make the color even.

Dyes are not the only option for caring for regrown hair. There are several options. For example, brightening cream or powder. The advantages of these options are their price. They are quite affordable, simple and popular means of changing the tone of the roots. Again they are easy to use at home. But it’s always a matter of measuring what color the end result will be, whether there will be any yellowness, whether the color is chosen correctly.

If you decide to deal with overgrown roots at home, I advise you to first consult with professional colorists who will tell you how to dye your curls without harm and beautifully.

Capous hair bleaching cream, price 360 rubles (now there is also a cream with argan oil on sale, it is 100 rubles more expensive, it has gold packaging, the effect is the same, only the hairstyle is softer due to the additional component);

Procedure

Before staining I don't wash my hair two to three days to protect the scalp. For some, this is another test. As a rescue, you can use dry shampoo.
Mix the ingredients in a plastic or glass bowl.
I take one part cream And two oxidants, so that it turns out without yellowness. I mix it very well.
I apply it with the black brush shown in the photo, strand by strand, holding it 50 minutes, then wash my hair using shampoo and a restorative mask.
