It's all about dosage! And harmony! Blonde locks sometimes get a bad press:too visible, unnatural, even vulgar. So to avoid the hair faux pas, you have to be careful not to have too big a difference between the color of your hair and that of the locks. Avoid:platinum blond on a chestnut base! To have pretty reflections and give the impression that you have just returned from the beach, choose a shade close to your natural color. A strawberry blond for light brown hair, a honey blond for light hair and a platinum blond for very light hair. Depending on the season, you can also adapt your scan. It may be stronger in summer because the sun will continue to lighten it naturally. In winter, the shades can be warmer, with ash blondes, for example, to capture the light.
At the hairdresser or at home, the technique for doing a blonde sweep is much the same. On the other hand, the break will be longer in a living room. Count about 2 to 3 hours with a cut. The longer your hair, the more patience it will take! Most of the time, the hairdresser makes a parting and begins to color the hair, starting from the root. The movement should go up and down, not the other way around. Then, on a second series of locks, the operation is repeated, and so on, with a third series. It must be left on for 10 to 45 minutes, depending on the texture and the ambient temperature. If it is very hot for example, the color will take much faster. Then, rinse off the color with clear water. The shampoo is always done after the blonde locks. Applying a mask afterwards is a good idea to deeply hydrate.
Blonde balayage does not require regular maintenance. When the hair grows back, the roots blend easily into the whole hair. You can wait two months or more before re-coloring. Fashion is also "tie and dye", which highlights the roots! To make your pretty blonde locks last, you have to take care of the hair. Do not hesitate to make suitable masks and conditioners. The color can dull over time, so it is important to use good hair products. If your balayage is very light, opt for shampoos that will prevent the hair from yellowing. Some pigments will be more or less suitable depending on your color. And for a 100% natural recipe, honey is perfect! It moisturizes and brightens, while providing shine. Add a few drops of cider vinegar, and your blonde will be sparkling!
