PLATINUM LOYAL HAIR: HOW TO REACH AN ALMOST WHITE TONE

It is not today that the famous platinum hairs in almost white blonde tones, like Beyoncé who surprised in the spreading of its new tour, but to be inspired by the look of the celebrities may not be so easy and requires a little patience. For those who are determined to have the look, it is necessary to take some care to reach the desired platinum.

GLOWING COLORING X POWDER DECORATIVE

The most common technique is the decolorizing powder, which although more aggressive, lightens up to eight tones at a time. This method also has versions for smooth or chemical treatments, which can follow the trend if they invest in special products.

The bleaching colors have the role of conquering the platinum effect in a more delicate way, treating the wires at the same time as it colors. The product lightens up to four shades and works great for women who display wires without chemistry. Already those that keep the already colored wires, will need to invest in procedures like pickling to get to the super clear result.

HOW TO CONQUER THE PERFECT PLATINUM

The first thing is to evaluate the state of the wires. Dry and porous hair needs to go through hydrates that rebuild the hair fiber before an aggressive process like discoloration. Those who use staining will need to pickle, a technique that removes the artificial pigments from the yarns more efficiently and less painfully than trying to depigmentate during the process. Ideally, the new coloring should be done after a few days, so that the hair can recover.

It may take several sessions to achieve the desired platinum, because the final result depends on the structure and its natural pigmentation. The thinner threads discolour faster, but need more post-staining treatments than the thicker yarns. Depigmentation tunes the hair, affects the hair mass and weakens the fiber, so it is important for the hairdresser to do a wick test before applying the product to the hair to evaluate the reaction of the wires to the products.

Those who use stronger chemicals, such as those for relaxation products, should be carefully doubled. A break of at least one month between smoothing and discoloration is recommended. In the case of other processes that smooth the wires like the smart brushes, which are less aggressive, discoloration is allowed, but must be done before the hair passes through the brush; since the decolorizing powder can negate the smoothing effect.

KNOW HOW TO TREAT THE POST-PLATINUM

The action of bleaching powder or coloring, even if it helps to treat the threads while it clears, can make the hair more fragile. Therefore, it is important to always intensify the hydration and reconstruction care routine to keep the platinum perfect. To avoid that the new coloration gains more yellowish or orange tones, which are the most common whitening background among Brazilian women, it is worth investing in products with violet reflections that will neutralize the tone of the hair.

Root tweaks need to be done every 20 days or a month, depending on the growth of the wires. It is important to continue moisturizing and treating hair between this time so that the hair fiber is ready for the next depigmentation sessions.
