Natural hair colour and the hairdresser color wheel

If you are planning to lighten your hair colour at home, first you must neutralize the natural pigments in your hair with the help of the opposite colour on the hair spectrum.

Natural hair colour depth:       Colours of pigments:       Lighten your natural colour with the following                                                                                                             

                                                                                                               shade of hair dye.

3-medium brown         -            red                                                        / natur + green mix
4-light brown              -             red-orange                                            /natur-ash

5-lightest brown         -             orange                                                  /ash

6-dark blonde              -            orange-gold                                          / ash-violet
7-medium blonde        -             gold                                                     / violet
 8-light blonde             -            yellow-gold                                         / pearl-violet

 9-very light blond      -            yellow                                                 / pearl

10-the lightest blonde  -            pale  yellow                                       / pearl

The picture also shows you how you can bleach your hair at home and to what extent you can
lighten your hair. If it is orange-gold colour than it is colour no. 6 dark blonde, if you dyed
it to 6 / ash violet shade, you would have no. 6 natural dark blonde. If you dyed your hair to 6/ ash
shade colour, the result would be natural blonde hair with golden undertones.

Remember, that in hot weather bleaching is more effective so leave it in for a shorter period of time.

Always use bleaching cream if you have damaged hair or your skin is irritated or sensitive!

You will definitely find high quality, ammonia-free bleaching powders and creams containing argan oil in the hairdresser industry.

Mixing ratio: 1:2

Amount of substance necessary in line with the thickness of hair:

Normal:  15g +30g Vol

Thick:    20g + 40g Vol

Thin:     10g +20g Vol

I have already shared in my blog that bleached hair sucks up more liquid therefore it may change colour and get silverish, this is why the mixing ratio of colouring is: 1:3.

Amount of substance necessary in line with the length of hair:

Short:      10 g  + 30 g 10 Vol

 Medium: 15 g + 45 g 10 Vol  

  

 Long:      20 g+ 60 g  10 Vol

Time: 10-15 minutes

After-bleaching treatment:

End-of-dye shampoo, PH restoring conditioner, argan oil, heat protector, finish products.
