Tired of gray and looking for a change? Bleaching gray hair can brighten your look, but it requires special consideration due to its unique characteristics.
Gray hair is different: it has a thicker cuticle, is coarser, and less oily. These traits make it more resistant to dye and bleach, necessitating a tailored approach.
Before bleaching, assess hair health and use a clarifying shampoo. A strand test, deep conditioning, and avoiding heat styling are crucial steps to minimize damage.
Choose the right bleach: a 20 or 30 volume developer often works best. Apply evenly, avoiding the scalp, and monitor closely. Aftercare with deep conditioning is key to maintaining hair health.
Post-bleaching, prioritize hydration with suitable shampoos and conditioners. Protect your newly lightened locks from heat, UV rays, and harsh chemicals to keep them looking fabulous.
