Coming out of black hair. Before and after photos using highlighting, clarifier, remover, shatush in blond

There are several ways to get out of a dark color with minimal damage to hair while maintaining its length and health. When choosing a method, the health of the hair, its structure, and previously used dyes should be taken into account.

Transition from dark to light can be done with home remedies, professional, or choose salon coloring. It is important to find the most effective way and at the same time keep your hair healthy.

Why is it hard to get out of black hair?

Getting out of black hair is a long, step-by-step process that takes from 1 day to 5-6 months. Black pigment is the most difficult to remove from the entire line of pigments. Penetrating inside, it accumulates in the hair cavity from coloring to coloring. Most of the dye is stuffed into the ends of the hair.

Types of pigments in paints:

• Artificial (cream paints, coloring mousses).
• Natural (henna, basma).

The result of coming out of black color depends on what the hair was previously colored with:

• It is difficult to predict the final color of the strands when removing natural dyes.
• A chemical reaction when mixing natural and artificial pigments on strands often results in a greenish or gray tint to the hair.
• Removing the artificial black pigments results in a red or yellow hair color. Natural brunettes, when lightened, also go red.

It is necessary to take into account what dyes the hair was dyed with, household or professional compositions. Household hair dyes are even designed for gray hair, so they contain a lot of dye. Due to the high concentration of pigment, they are more difficult to wash out of the curls.

Professional paints contain less pigment. They are selected by the master individually, taking into account the color and structure of the client's hair.

To become lighter by 4-6 tones from the original color, the paint burning procedure is repeated 3-4 times. Hair becomes dry, brittle, split ends appear. In order for the hair to be less damaged during repeated lightening, it needs a week break between procedures. During this time, the hair roots have time to grow back, and the hair itself is partially restored.

Lightening methods

You can get out of a dark hair color by becoming 1-4 tones lighter using the following tools:

• Washing off color (pickling) - a procedure that is as gentle as possible for hair. At the same time, it takes a lot of time, laborious, and does not guarantee the desired result.
• Complex staining using a bleaching composition, which is not applied along the entire length of the hair - highlighting, balayage, ombre.
• Hair bleaching with supra or blonde. This is the most aggressive method. The chemical composition applied to the curls lifts the hair scales, the pigment is eaten away in whole or in part. Hair color for 1 procedure can change by 8 shades. The curls become red or yellowish and require additional staining, toning.
• Lightening - less traumatic for hair, in comparison with bleaching, method.Here, lightening paints with a high oxidant content (shade No. 12.) are used. In one procedure, the strands are lightened up to 2 tones. The paint is applied for a maximum of 30 minutes. With a longer exposure time, the hair is burnt, becomes dry and brittle, which leads to hair loss.

Hair dyes are:

• Powder (powders) - have a strong effect and remove even persistent pigments. The harsh oxidizing agent quickly dehydrates the hair.
• Creamy - due to its structure, it is easily and evenly applied to the hair, does not flow. They are of medium intensity.
• Oil - easy to apply, do not contain ammonia, their effect is the mildest.

Any method of lightening is stress for the hair. It cannot be carried out on weakened and sick curls, this will lead to baldness. 1-3 months before lightening, they are healed with nourishing and regenerating masks containing collagen, proteins, keratin. At this time, it is not recommended to use hair care products containing sulfates and alcohol.

6 months before the procedure do not do:

• Lamination.
• Perm.

If they are done less than six months before repainting, there is a risk of hair loss. All brightening compositions include alkali. After any lightening, hair requires additional care.

Washing off black pigment

Getting out of black hair with pickling is the reverse process of dyeing. An acidic composition is applied to the head, which penetrates deep into the hair and draws out the coloring pigment from it. Then it is washed out of the strands with a special alkaline shampoo. This step is required, otherwise the pigment will return to the hair. Decapitation only works with synthetic pigments.

It won't help if the hair:

• have a natural black color;
• painted with basma, henna;

Acid based wash formulations are divided into 3 types:

Pigment flushing is divided according to the effect on hair depth:

• superficial;
• deep;

All cleansers, except for natural ones, are not applied to the scalp. They are used to treat strands without affecting regrown roots. After the required result has been obtained, the active substance is washed off with a neutralizer. This procedure is necessary to stop the process of pigment oxidation and further damage to the hair.

In one pickling procedure, the black pigment is not completely removed from the hair.

The dye has to be washed off up to 4-7 times. When the hair is heavily clogged with pigment, usually at the ends of the hair, there may be no visible result. For the test, a neutralizer is applied to a lock of hair. If the curl darkens, the pickling is repeated.

If the desired color has not been achieved, the paint removal procedure is carried out after 2-4 weeks. At this time, the hair is tinted with neutral shades, and is actively looked after with the help of regenerating and nourishing agents.

To reduce the damage done to the hair and to avoid yellowness, the mixture is diluted with a low percentage of oxidant (1.9%) and left for a longer time. The brightening composition reveals the hair scales, penetrates and burns out the pigment. To enhance the effect of discoloration, curls are laid in foil.
• After washing, the clarifier is reapplied, the percentage of the oxidizing agent is reduced. A low percentage is considered to be an oxidizing agent content from 3% to 1.3%.
• The last stage of staining is the application of a tinting or coloring composition, this is a mandatory procedure after clarification. In order for the hair to become less brittle, the scales opened on them must be filled with dye and closed.
