- Discoloration refines the hair
True
The fading technique involves removing the pigments from the hair. If these pigments are natural (your hair has never been colored), we speak of "discoloration", if these pigments are from a color, we will talk about " removing makeup " or "stripping". The discoloration opens the scales of the hair, removes the pigments. Then the scales close again. This necessarily refines the hair, which is very thin and translucent.
- Better to go from a clear base to go to the white or platinum blonde
True
It is recommended to lighten the hair of only two tones, ideally, so as not to distort their original color. But if you want to brighten more, it is possible to go up to five shades below. Nevertheless, to get a very light blonde or a white, the optimal starting color is at worst a dark blonde, if we want to limit the damage. If you have black raven hair, go your way.
- I can do my discoloration at home?
Yes, but...
The best thing to do is to call in a color specialist, who will tell you what your hair needs are. It will determine if your hair is already colored and the technique to focus on. If you absolutely want to make your fading at home, pay attention to the products you choose. Avoid oxidants in too large volume, avoid the frost or cream products and always begin to discolor the tips before going back up. If you miss your first attempt, you can always shorten your lengths.
- After fading, the hair is irreparable
False
They are not irreparable because the products used by professionals to discolor are less aggressive than in the days of Marilyn Monroe but this process is still the most aggressive that exists for the hair. If you do discoloration, be sure to pamper your hair after: hydrate with strengthening masks or hair oils to strengthen and close the scales.
- Pregnant, I can not fade
True
Just like coloring your hair, it is strongly discouraged to discolour hair during pregnancy.
- The fading, it does not go away
True
Once the hair is discolored, they have lost their pigments for good. They do not naturally return to their original color. To get rid of a discoloration, you have to take the trouble and cut the tips little by little, until you can find its original color.
