Coloring or lights: Which method is least harmful to wires?

Many women, when they want to change their look a little or totally, fall into the following dilemma: make lights or color the wires? Which of the two methods looks better and harms the wires least?

And, as with hair you do not play, it is important that the woman research the two methods well and ask the opinion of a trusted professional in order to define which is the best option for your hair.

Knowing the differences between the methods is certainly the first step to arrive at the best option. Below, hairstylist Luiz Cintra, specialist in visagism, programmed cuts and colorimetry, provides important information on lighting and staining and explains which method is least aggressive to the wires.


Lights X Coloring

Luiz Cintra explains that the big difference between the two methods is that, in the case of coloring, usually the entire hair color. "Especially to cover the whites or to change the natural color of the strands, whether darkening or lightening up to three and a half shades," he says.

• In the case of lights, usually, the hair is lightened in strands of varying styles and quantities (according to the style that the person wants). And you can make reverse strands (dark) or strands to lighten the strands up to 9 tones ?, adds the pro.

So a good way to decide which method to use is to consider your goal: you want to totally change the color of your hair; disguise white threads; or become subtly blonde?


Another important point is to evaluate if the chosen technique will not do much damage to your hair, leaving your hair weak and lifeless.

In the opinion of the hairstylist Luiz Cintra, is the coloration less aggressive than the lights, due to the fact of the power of the coloration? which also has the action of discoloring the thread? be weaker than bleaching powder.

However, on the other hand, the lights have, as a plus, the fact that they do not catch the whole hair, since they are only made in a few strands.


Lights

Luiz Cintra explains that, generally, the lights are made with a mixture of bleaching powder with hydrogen peroxide between 6% and 12%. "The whitening style depends on the taste and style the customer wants and we can do it through different methods," he says.

But can any woman, even if she already has another type of chemistry in her hair, can make lights? This is a very common doubt.

Luiz Cintra explains that today, with the improvement of cosmetic products, it is possible for any woman to make lights. But the intensity of the lights will depend on the type and state of the person's hair. Is not always possible a great lightening of the wires ?, he says. There are only a few cases of products that are not at all compatible with whiteners. In these only cases we can not make the lights ?, he adds.

Special cares

After making lights, the woman should take special care with her hair. ? All hair needs to be well taken care of to stay healthier and more beautiful. But colored or light hair requires slightly more care. In the case of lights, care must be taken that the wire does not break, requiring more strengthening treatments. Another special care is to dry the hair and shine, because the discolored hair dries out and is opaque, requiring this attention ?, says the hairstylist.

Coloring

Luiz Cintra explains that the coloring is almost done, you only need to mix the cream (coloring) with the hydrogen peroxide tube. • For an efficient coloring, the best option is to do it at the hairdresser, as the colors indicated on the boxes still match the hair color to reveal a nuance. That's why it's not that simple, but does a consultation with the hairdresser help?

Does the hairstylist explain that virtually every woman? even if you already have another type of hair chemistry? You can color the threads. There are few products that are not compatible with colorings in the case of older products. Already with the most modern, we can do coloring in all types of hair ?, says.

Special cares

"In the case of coloring, you need to take care of the strands with treatment lines for colored hair, in order to avoid fading and early drying," explains Luiz Cintra.

Why not do it at home?

The hairstylist explains that there is a high risk of coloring or lighting hair at home without guidance from a hairdresser. "Coloring the hair with products sold in pharmacy is less harmful, but usually the hair color is different, because we must consider the color of our hair along with the color we will deposit in the hair," he says. Therefore, the result is not always expected.So, in order not to risk regret later, the best option is to have the help of a trusted professional.

“Already making lights at home, I don't tell anyone, since the bleaching powder has a more powerful action and less accurate than a coloration, can make the hair an unwanted color and even break the hair if it is misused. ?, explains Luiz Cintra.

You now have good information about both techniques and can decide which option is best for you. But remember to consult a hairdresser you trust and always follow the guidelines given by him to avoid future regrets.
