Let's explore: Bring back your hair to life after bleach!

Colouring your hair after heavily bleaching is no joke. It becomes a lengthy process involving tons of chemical reactions that may or may not suit you.

This is why good salons make the effort of conducting a patch test to see how well your hair and scalp reacts to the strong chemical.

 

However, the payoffs are oh-so-good. You get to wake up with a head of hair, completely customized to your needs and likes. 

I recently sat in the haircut chair for 8 hours to get a glossy pink with streaks of blue done. And goodness, how much did I like it.

 

Having done this before, I was preparing myself to face the wrath of my angry hair, completely ready to unleash those tangles, hair fall, and an overall extra need for attention for at least a year.

So, you may wonder what actually happens to your hair when you strip its natural color with bleach. All in all, it depends on how thick your hair is.

 

People with thicker hair tend to handle those long hours of bleaching way better than ones with thinner hair. This is because bleach, being an active chemical, uses heat to break down the existing nature of your hair, and essentially ‘strips’ down your natural hair colour by the end of the process.

People usually disregard such a process as it reckons a harsher treatment than what people usually prefer.

 

P.S: only go to those salons who know your hair, make the effort to understand it more, and put your hair health as the first priority.

Vetted tips & tricks

Masks all the way!

Masking your hair at least twice a week restores your hair health by allowing those extra nutrients, moisture, and softness to seep in. Choose one that fits your hair after you bleach it

For example, I got a colour protector & a protein restore mask, so my hair could grow healthier & the colour would stay for as long as possible.

Wet Detangling

Your experience might have shown you that by detangling your hair when it's dry, you lose a lot of hair in the brush. However, once you apply a mask, the hair becomes smoother, allowing you to even detangle it with your fingers! 

The Right Set of Tools

Your hair being vulnerable needs softer, adaptable, and moldable hair tools. For example, using a detangling brush always works like a charm. You can even consider opting for a wide bristle comb that allows you to have more control, and less breakage.

Allowing Your Hair To Breathe

Bombarding your hair with styling products on a daily basis might ruin your colour, and your hair’s performance. You should plan out the days when you style your hair, and make it last as long as possible.

No Heat at All

Heat usually causes your now-thin hair to get more affected by increasing breakage. Not just this, but when your colour gets targeted with heat from the hair dryer or straightener, it changes hues, resulting in a different shade every time you apply heat.

Try using a heat protectant for times you absolutely need to do this!

Phew! Was that a lot?

Well, good things take time, and grander things take some effort out of you. This blog isn’t necessarily written to make many readers panic, but one must analyze what they’re getting into, and not just do it for the trend of it.
