Bleaching hair without damage - this is how you get healthy blonde hair!
When winter says goodbye and it gets warmer, many women long for a blond mane. Lightened hair shimmers seductively in the sun. It also creates a vacation mood because it looks like it's been bleached by the sea and the sun. You also want a lightening, but do not feel like damage? Then we have tips for you on how to lighten your hair naturally or with chemicals without it suffering. These home remedies are not only suitable for blondes, but also red-haired and brunette women can bleach their hair this way and be gentle at the same time. But we'll also tell you when it's best to visit your hairdresser.
Home remedies for lightening without damage
You don't necessarily have to (have) your hair treated with hydrogen peroxide to make it lighter. There are also completely natural methods! These remedies you probably already have at home in your kitchen and they are just waiting to be used by you. We'll show you what they are and what you need to keep in mind.
You have the following options:
- Lightening with honey
- Lightening with chamomile
- Lightening with salt
- Lightening with lemon
Boost natural blonde with honey and salt.
Honey has a brightening and conditioning effect at the same time. Heat two tablespoons of honey - but only to a maximum of 40°C to maintain the effect - and mix it with your favorite conditioner. If you like it natural, we recommend Wella's Elements range: the organic Elements Gentle Strengthening Conditioner contains neither silicones nor parabens, making it perfect for gentle care. For the maximum lightening effect by a whole shade, you can wrap your hair with foil and a towel. If you leave the honey mask on overnight, you'll have gorgeous hair in the morning.
If you are already blonde, you can easily conjure up the summer feeling in your hair with salt. You may know it: after a beach vacation with lots of swimming in the sea, your hair is always a little lighter. This happens not only due to the sun, but also due to the bleaching effect of the salt. But you can also achieve this effect at home! Simply mix coarse sea salt with water and let the mix dry in the sun. This way you can easily dye your hair for the beach look, which is a trend that comes back every summer. However, you should not do this too often, so that your hair does not dry out. Afterwards, treat your hair to a rich treatment or mask from our store, such as the Brazilnut Oil Pulp Treatment hair mask from Schwarzkopf: It provides your mane with rich oils and fills in brittle areas.
Lightening for all hair colors: chamomile and lemon.
Chamomile is not just for blondes: If you have reddish or brown hair, you can also achieve a lightening effect with this popular medicinal plant. To do this, boil seven sachets of chamomile tea in a liter of water and rinse your hair with the mixture after washing. Attention: Please do not rinse! Afterwards you can sit in the sun and let your hair dry. This is the best way to lighten your hair, and without any damage!
A real all-rounder is citric acid. With it you can always bleach your hair - whether blond, dyed, dark-haired or tinted! Your mane will become lighter in any case. First, squeeze a few lemons - three or up to ten, depending on the length of your hair. Then distribute the juice in your hair with a spray bottle and massage it in. Then wrap your hair with foil or a towel for 20 minutes or let it dry in the sun. By the way, be careful with already damaged hair or split ends: In this case, you should stretch the lemon juice with water to avoid further damage.
When it is worth visiting the hairdresser
The above methods are mostly suitable for you if you want to lighten your hair gently and only by a few shades. If you want a more blatant change, a visit to the hairdresser is still best. A hair professional knows how to treat your hair to dye or bleach it according to the current trend. Thanks to Olaplex and similar products, it is now also possible to bleach hair chemically without much damage. But whether you lighten your hair at home with home remedies or have it done by a hair professional: Think about the care! Lightened hair is always happy to receive an extra dose of moisture. Oil-based products such as leave-in treatments also add a beautiful shine to your mane.
Natural or with chemicals - how will you bleach your hair and what care should you use afterwards? In any case, we wish you lots of fun with your summer mane!
