The desire for a tan goes hand in hand with that of slightly lighter hair, for an even more natural “back from the beach” effect. However, when nature is not at hand and we cannot show off a hair that has actually been bleached by the sun, the hairdresser comes to our aid. Indeed, let’s say that there is no sun that holds: as you leave the salon of our trusted hair stylist we will never be after a day at the beach. There is no rain on this. To choose the best treatment that lightens your hair, it is good to opt for expert hands that you trust blindly, especially if you intend to totally change your height of tone.
“If you want to go from a medium brown base (which in the color chart is equivalent to No. 4) and arrive at a height of light blond tone (which is equivalent to No. 8), one or more pickling using a bleach of excellent quality », he explains Stefano Buscicchio, hair stylist of Etienne Milano (in via Sant’Eufemia, in Milan). The important thing first of all is that the hair is basically healthy and natural, after which the products used will do the rest.
«In my recipes I never miss the Olaplex which I need in various doses to recreate the sulfur bridges giving more resistance to the structure during the lightening phase», continues the hair stylist.
As soon as the desired height of tone has been reached, proceed by rinsing the hair well with plenty of water to free it from all the product applied. We then go to restore the hair with a product that can restore its porosity. «Only in this phase can it be toned with an acid pH product. In the salon we use a product with state-of-the-art technology, which uses physics and not chemistry, which I especially recommend before prolonged exposure under the sun. Because, by not making a chemical reaction, it does not cause the hair to lighten quickly ».
We then move on to the second phase of the Olapex treatment which serves to weld the sulfur bridges that were created with the first step. “Always use at the end of each coloring treatment products with an acid pH. Then we proceed with the fold ».
PARTIAL LIGHTENING TECHNIQUES
There are also methods to lighten in a lighter way, using partial lightening techniques. Give it shatush al scanning, the ways to lighten the hair only partially are very popular but it is good to always make sure that the conditions of the hair are suitable.
As for natural substances, the results may not live up to expectations. «I see it very hard. There are products, for example with chamomile, which react with the sun’s rays and therefore lighten but I would not use them on dark hair because you may notice that the hair becomes reddish, especially on the top of the head », Stefano Buscicchio advises against.
A separate discourse, on the other hand, is that on a clear basis, one on which the most attractive results could be noted. In case of natural color already tending to blond, then go ahead for products based on chamomile, lemon and honey.
SUN PROTECTION OF THE HAIR
With prolonged exposure to the sun in summer, protect hair with an SPF factor not only is it advisable but it becomes essential. A sun shield is essential for the health of the hair as well as for the preservation of color.
“We use a product that has a natural, non-chemical solar filter inside, our partner used micronized malachite powder as a filter,” explains Etienne Milano’s hair stylist.
The quality of the products plays a very important role but also a little wisdom is not bad, like the one the expert offers us a taste of. «Hair in the sun is always subject to lightening. A good tip is to rinse your hair with drinking water and dry it with a clean towel, keeping your head as cool as possible. The reason? Hot water has higher oxygenation than cold water ».
As for the treatment to rely on after prolonged exposure to the sun, the professional recommends use a shampoo and mask with an acidic pH of 3 or 4. “In this way the scales of the hair will be kept close enough to the stem and thus reduce the loss of color as much as possible”, concludes Stefano Buscicchio.
THE STARS WHO DON’T LIKE TO LIGHTEN THE HAIR
On the red carpet, the “goes blonde” trend is always the main protagonist: divas literally lose their heads when they see themselves with lighter hair. The latest striking example is that of Billie Eilish, which from a raven hair has passed to a platinum blonde unpublished for her.
Among the most faithful for years of lightening techniques such as balayage, the names of Jennifer Aniston, Ariana Grande, Ashley Tisdale e Gisele Bundchen, by far the most passionate about the illuminating effect that a slightly lightened hair can give to the face. Then there are Olivia Wilde, Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Sarah Jessica Parker e Jennifer Lopez who have repeatedly succumbed to the indiscreet charm of balayage. Sarah Jessica Parker she is also a breeder of shatush, which shows off often and willingly. And he is in good company, including Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore and Alexa Chung, just to name a few.
