To discolor your hair, you do not have to go through the barber box. If you feel able, you can do it alone or with the help of a loved one at home. For that, you just need to have a towel that you do not mind to stain and a hairdresser's brush.
Do not fade all at once. The best is to realize it in two stages. Start with the roots first, avoiding too much touching the scalp. When this first part is finished and you have rinsed the solution, attack the tips. Know that they take longer to fade than the roots. Do not exceed more than one hour of installation.
Rinse immediately with a shampoo and use a nourishing mask for the night. Choose formulas based on avocado, honey or shea milk. For very light hair, do not forget the pouch, a blue product that prevents the color from turning yellow or green.
Little trick: some hair is insensitive to fading, especially when the pigments are too dark. To test, put the product on a small wick of your tips. Wait 5 minutes and, if no result is visible by then, it is better to give up the discoloration for the entirety of your hair.
