Blonde Hair Color Questions

“Is it true blonds can’t color their hair or it will turn green?”

Whether you are a natural blond, have blond foils, or are all over blond, you must seek professional hair coloring care in order to correctly alter a blond to a darker color. If you are only deepening the hair by 1-3 levels, the process is quite simple as a hairstylist will choose a hue that will offset the porosity, warmth/coolness and lightness of the hair. If you are choosing to go significantly darker (permanently) it is called, color correction.

Each salon has its own pricing for color correction and it might seem pricey but if you skip steps you might compromise the integrity of your hair and its color. Trying to correct you hair at home could cause more mistakes in the color and end up being twice as expensive to get fixed. The perfect level of warmth must be chosen first to gradually bring the color down without turning it green. This is called repigmentization. Sometimes this must be done twice if the hair is over processed and porous. Then another final tint is applied and the color is permanent. Your stylist will recommend the proper products for your hair type. If you hair is overly porous the color might fade a level within a month because of the damage on the hair. If this happens, book a demipermanent color to refresh the hue after 6-8weeks.


“Can brown hair go blond without bleach?”

This depends on how dark the natural brown is and the desired hue of blond. If you are a medium brown naturally, yes, it is possible to get to a light to medium blond.

Remember:
Tint does not lift tint. This means if your hair is colored brown it is not possible to go blond without bleach.

A haircare professional will be able to consult with you to determine what process is appropriate and whether the health of you hair can stand it. Each hair case is different and haircoloring can be a complex chemical process, so utilize your stylists knowledge in order to get to your end goal.
