Make your own keratin bonds using natural bulk hair at home



Hi there, I am going to show you now how you can separate and put a keratin bond on your
natural bulk hair.

You will need scissors, a hair comb, keratin and bonding heat tool.

This method of bonding your bulk hair reduces the hair loss to minimal. It is a little bit time-
consuming to make 100—150 hair bonds but it is worth it, because a natural hair is dye-free,
silicone-free, you can make it lighter, darker or you can dye it.
You will never know how dyed pre-bonded hair has been treated before or with what material
it has been dyed.

8-light blonde:                                           5  Vol                5  Vol                               10 Vol



30 Vol - 9 %

20 Vol - 6 %

10 Vol – 3 %

 5 Vol  1,5 %


Time: 20-40 minutes


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.

How to take care of your hair after bleaching and colouring

bleaching

While bleaching your hair, its structure goes through a significant change so you must use products that restore its PH.

Why?

Bleaching powder is alkaline. Due to this chemical property the cuticle (outermost layer of hair) of hair expands and the bleaching powder penetrates.

After having used alkaline products you must stop the expanding effect by applying acid products (neutralizing) otherwise you hair will get damaged.

There should be more acid bits remaining in your hair which contract hairs and restore hair structure to the original condition.


These kind of end-of-dye products have to be applied only after chemical treatments, but never mistake them for hair colour conditioning products.

Every producer has a different end-of-dye PH restoring product that should be used only after chemical treatments.

Water intake is very importantwhen it comes to taking care of your hair, you can achieve this by taking mineral substances.

If the cuticle is damaged a great amount of protein vanishes. In this case you need to take amino acid to replace them but it would never happensince I have worked out a diagnosis sheet for you where you can read about your own tailor made bleaching plan relevant to your natural hair colour and hair structure.

Between hair dyes I do recommend to use shampoo and conditioner containing keratin which moisturizes your hair’s internal structure and makes fibres soft.

I recommend to use argan oil on your hair ends. It builds in immediately. Argan oil should also be used before tanning. Both skin and hair should be protected against dryness.

Keep in mind protecting your hair before blow drying or flat ironing!

Hair color


As I have promised you, our first video is about how to bleach and achieve pastel hair, but before you bleach your hair at home (lightening up, neutralizing) you need to be able to recognize:

1, your natural hair color (roots)
2, the quality of your hair
3, your hair condition

Without this information you may cause a lot of damage to your hair.

I will try to explain it in the simplest and most understandable way so you can grab the essence.

How to determine your natural hair color (roots)

Your hair color depth can be best described by the lightness of hair, which depends on the number of pigments in your hair. Black has the most and the darkest pigments but very rare. There are hair colors from dark brown to the lightest blonde. The lighter the hair is the less pigments it contains.

Hair color depths chart:

1 or      2 – black
            3-dark brown
            4-medium brown
            5-light brown
            6-dark blonde
            7-medium blonde
            8-light blonde
            9-very light blond
          10-the lightest blonde

According to how much you want to bleach your hair, black and brown pigments will gradually disappear and different shades of orange and yellow will appear.

Many people cannot determine their natural hair color correctly for example many of you would think that you have light brown hair instead of medium blonde.

This can be a problem because it is crucial what percentage of developer you use, 3 % (10 vol) or 6 % (20 vol) for bleaching. You can achieve the desirable color using both but if a 3 % (10 vol) developer is enough why would you damage your hair and skin with a 6 % (20 vol) developer.

If you use a 3 % (10 vol) developer, the process will last longer but it penetrates yellowish, reddish pigments better.

I have worked out a diagnosis sheet for you to help.

I will share this with you later on.

My next topic is about recognizing the quality of your hair.
