How can I bleach my hair and keep it healthy at the same time?

Vcventures! As "bleaching" hair or "tinting hair blonde" are two different procedures, maybe we can shed some light on how to do it with the least possible damage. Bleaching any hair generally damages the hair structure as it simply takes a part, the color, out of it.

This may leave your hair brittle and dry. There are some hair coloring products on the market that will not damage your hair so much like bleaching, but "to go blonde" with those you need to at least have some light brown hair. If you still want to go ahead with "bleaching" your hair and coloring it blonde afterwards, let the hair dresser do it for the first time.

They have the best products to assure that you will have the nice hair color of your choice, a proper hair cut to suit you and no split ends and much more. Then, later, if you wish to re-color your hair, use only best brand colors and very good shampoos and conditioners. A healthy diet including fruits and vegetable does help too!

Hope, this helps!

A lot depends on how dark your natural hair color is and how light a shade of blonde you wish to achieve. In the extreme, if for instance you have jet black hair and want to go platinum blonde, do not even think about trying to do this yourself. This is a job for a professional, you could end up with a weird color and ruined hair.

If you have mid to light brown hair, it is much easier, but why use bleach? You can choose from a lovely range of blonde shades by using a permanent hair color which will lighten it quite considerably and this is a gentler method than bleach. Choose a good brand, do a test strand, follow the instructions and you will very often find your hair is in better condition than before.

There are rich intensive conditioners in these products. Another way of achieving an attractive blonde look is highlights, you can have as many or as few as you wish and the re-growth is less noticeable. Keep in mind if you choose whole head blonde, you are committed to re-touching the roots every month.

There are few things less appealing than blonde hair with dark roots! Whichever method you decide on, use a good quality conditioner after every shampoo and once every couple of weeks use an intensive conditioning mask, this should keep your hair soft, shiny and in great condition.

In all honesty- bleaching your hair once will not cause that much damage. Neither will bleaching it twice. If you use color treated products, and take care of your hair, you should not have too much to worry about.

Yes, over time it will get damaged, but thats why you trim your hair - cut off the dead and split ends. Another way, is to go to a hair salon so they can do it for you. Just because your hair is bleached, does not mean it cannot be healthy.

Some tips: Don't wash your hair immediately after bleaching. Wait a few days. Comb or brush gently to avoid breaking hairs or splitting the ends.

Give your hair a few days to reset itself and allowing the natural oils to get back onto your head. Before washing, apply olive oil or extra virgin olive oil to the hair - EVOO is lighter in color, and usually less heavy; however both work well and wash out with shampoo. Make sure its distributed evenly through hair before washing out.

Don't forget your tips. Leave on for 15 min. You can wrap a dry or warm/moist towel around your head to enhance the treatment.

Wash your hair last in the shower, bathe and shave first, let the heat warm the treatment. Wash gently with shampoo for color treated hair. Same with conditioner.

When conditioning your bleached blond or dyed hair, rub conditioner from the roots all the way to the ends. Consider applying extra at the root, in the area where you might use a ponytail holder or another hair accessory regularly and also at the ends. Tie up in towel gently after shower.

Or dry by pressing the hair gently between the towel and applying pressure from roots to ends. Apply leave in conditioner to your hair after showers. When styling, consider using a shine product.

Gel, paste and spray all work fine. Many of the sprays contain oils that protect your hair from heat styling products. Repeat the oil treatment at least once a week.

This process saves you from buying expensive treatments, that essentially are the same thing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
