4 Things Every Potential Blonde Should Know
by Admin April 15 2022
Spring is finally here, and that means brighter wardrobes and lighter hair colors. With blonde being among the top trending colors of the season you may be considering going blonde yourself. If so, there are a few important things you should know before taking the plunge. Today we’ll discuss the four most important things to consider before going blonde for the first time.
A Consultation Is Needed
When considering going blonde it really is necessary to schedule a consultation with your colorist, especially if you have dark hair. The process of going blonde will look different for everyone. If your hair is damaged or heavily processed you may need pretreatment to strengthen and repair your strands. If your hair is very dark you may need to transition to blonde slowly over a few visits to avoid damage. Your colorist will be able to assess the condition of your hair and develop a plan to get you the color you want while maintaining the health of your hair.
You May Need Patience
If you’re only lightening your hair a couple of shades you might walk out of the salon with your new color in a single visit. But brunettes going blonde may need to have some patience with the process. Even with the gentler hair color formulas, we have today, bleaching your hair will always come with some level of damage. To minimize this you may need a few transition colors to allow your strand some recovery time between sessions.
Prepare for the Cost
Because of the potential need for pretreatments and multiple appointments, going blonde may cost more to achieve than other colors. If you’re lightening dark hair you’ll also need regular touch-ups to deal with new growth and keep your color looking beautiful and natural. If your hair is already light the cost will be much lower.
Blonde Is Not Low Maintenance
As we mentioned before, keeping your color looking great may require frequent root touch-ups. In addition to this, you will need products formulated for blonde color-treated hair to keep it bright and avoid brassiness. You’ll also need to nourish your hair with weekly deep conditioning treatments to strengthen your hair and repair any damage from the bleaching process.
Now that you’re aware of the darker side of going blonde, it’s time to experience the brighter side with your beautiful new color. The expert colorist at Avanté Salon & Spa will work with you to create a personalized plan to give you the beautiful blonde you want while making sure your hair stays healthy and strong.
