There are a thousand ways to say blonde and there are also a thousand ways to bleach hair. Our advice is to always ask a professional, in short, no home kits, just to avoid seeing your hair turning towards strange orange, as it happened in the nineties. But what are the easiest hair to treat? “The thin ones are easier to lighten than the more robust ones – continues Gori – We must keep in mind that when they are very dark, natural or” treated “, they tend to expel a warm, almost reddish reflection, therefore the discoloration it needs to spend more time posing or, even, a second application step will be necessary ».

Let’s continue talking about new technologies. Many women often forgo some lightening out of fear that the bleaching will literally “burn” their natural hair. A myth, today, to dispel, if you are in the right hands. “The bleaching that I recommend at the moment is Blondorplex by Wella – continues Gori – it already contains the bond builder (among the best known are Olaprex or Wellaplex) which contains malic acid, helping to regenerate the internal bonds of the hair during the discoloration “. And then there is the great work to be done at home, which is maintenance. “You mustn’t compromise the volume. I recommend Sebastian’s “no breaker” leave-in lotion, formulated with malic acid and styling polymers, because it penetrates deeply into the hair cuticles, repairing even the most severe damage caused by discoloration. In short, it creates a sort of new bridges within the hair fibers, guaranteeing up to 99% less hair breakage. It should be combined with specific shampoo, conditioner and mask for bleached hair, such as the Davines “Heart of Glass” line ».
