Changing hair color to a shade of blonde, from arctic silver to golden sunny, and from reddish amber to very light blond is the dream of many women.
And sometimes I really do not want to touch the hair with the chemical means of salons and store paints. Then you can choose among folk remedies that, by the way, allow you to not only lighten your hair, but also perfectly care for them.
First of all, it is worth noting that a radical change of style will not work - home remedies lighten only 1-2 tones and rarely when more (but with a degree of risk).
And the desired result, you may have to wait more than one week - until you can repeat the clarification of the hair over and over again.
Two tests should precede the improvement of hair with a new, not previously tested means:
For allergies - for which a drop of it is applied to the inner bend of the elbow and wait 30 minutes - there should be no rash, redness, itching.
The result is why clarification is first carried out on just 1 strand.
For a uniform result, all products consisting of several ingredients should, firstly, be thoroughly mixed into a homogeneous mass, and secondly, applied to the hair with an even layer.
The greater efficiency of clarification with home remedies is observed during the procedure, not just washed with shampoo, but simply well-moistened hair.
It is also recommended to insulate the head with a plastic wrap and / or towel while holding funds on the hair.
These compounds do not need to be rubbed into the roots of the hair and if they are at least a little “aggressive”, then it is even better to step back a little from them to avoid damage to the hair follicles.
And after everything is washed away, it is better to refuse the hair dryer in favor of natural drying.
If the hair is hard and naughty, then within 10-14 days before lightening, it is recommended to use special softening masks 4-6 times, including chicken eggs (yolk) and / or vegetable oils. The fact is that the structure of hard hair “protects” them from pigment changes (by the way, not only lightening, but also dyeing as well).
Chamomile
Clarification of curls by this plant was practiced in the Renaissance, but it is worth noting that it brings a noticeable effect only to owners of initially fairly fair hair. In addition to lightening, chamomile also gives the hair a golden glow.
To prepare a classic infusion, pour a dry plant in a container that holds heat well (a thermos bottle wrapped in a saucepan with a scarf) and pour 2: 3 in boiling water. Count 4 hours, filter the liquid. After moisturizing your hair well, wait 1 hour.
Spices
Precious saffron or the cost-effective turmeric replacing it brightens the hair well and protects its structure from damage by hot temperatures or chemical compounds during styling. To get this unique tool, mix 3 tbsp. l dry chamomile, 1 tsp. turmeric and 2 tbsp. l chopped peel of a lemon. Pour all 200 ml of boiling water, let it brew for 30 minutes, strain. Add 5 drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Soak hair for 40 minutes.
Fresh lemon
Lemon juice began to be used for clarification in medieval Italy, and in many ways the method gained popularity due to the sunshine of the local weather. So the best time for the remedy is summer, when the required time can be spent in the sun, turning his head, sorting out strands wet from juice for better penetration of rays into them.
To obtain the composition, mix the juice and warm water in a 4: 1 ratio. Leave for 2 hours. The same recipe can be used with lime instead of lemon.
Honey and Cinnamon
As a result of applying this excellent mixture, the hair becomes much more pleasant to the touch - literally, like silk and does not get tangled for a long time. The minus of the option is that in natural blondes, the remedy can complement the hair with a reddish tint.
For this option, mix ground cinnamon and liquid honey - 3 tbsp each. l each product. Dilute a little with water, apply on strands, count 2 hours.
Ginger
The choice of this tool will allow you to admire not only the lighter shade of the hair, but their silky-mirror shine, extraordinary obedience when styling. And the recipe is simple.
Grind 100 g of fresh ginger root in a puree, pour 200 ml of boiling water over it. After 1 hour of insisting, gruel over dry hair and leave for 60-120 minutes.
Kefir
Despite the fact that kefir lightens hair weaker than most other products, like nothing else, it is able to restore vitality to weakened, dull hair. Moreover, it moisturizes the scalp, treats dandruff and protects hair from loss.
There are no subtleties here - just wet your hair with a sour-milk drink for 1 hour.
For a more noticeable result, add a few drops of lemon essential oil and a couple of beaten egg yolks to yogurt.
Hydrogen peroxide
The most effective in terms of the amount of lightening per tone (up to 3-5) is used gently, evenly distributing it to clean, well-combed hair, avoiding their basal area. And do not keep peroxide on your hair for more than 30 minutes. Also, during the application process, grab small strands for processing (you can collect hair for convenience with hair clips-crab).
Vitamin C
In addition to lightening strands, this tool supplies hair with vitamin C, whose role in their existence is great - for softness, thickness of rods, flexibility (prevention of brittleness). For the use of tablets, crush them to a crumb volume of 3 tbsp. l and dissolve in 250 ml of water. Wet the hair with liquid, not forgetting to apply a little on their basal area. Count 15 minutes.
