Those who choose to have discolored or platinum hair need to be constantly maintained so that the color is maintained. The good news is that you can do the entire procedure at home on your own and thus save on salon expenses.
But for this it is important to take some care and do the step by step the right way. Otherwise, in addition to the risk of not getting the color you want, the wires may be damaged, weakened and brittle.
An important tip is to apply the products only to the roots or parts that are not yet blond, to avoid chemical overlap in already discolored yarns. It is also worth remembering that the tone tends to become more yellowish on the first day, but over time, it normalizes. Learn a step by step:

2. Do not do a pretreatment: Using reconstructive products for a month before discoloration is important to make your hair stronger before undergoing a chemical procedure.
3. Do the procedure with the dirty wires: It is important to wash your hair before applying the bleach, either on the day or the day before, otherwise stains may appear.
4. Apply bleach on thick locks: The locks need to be thin so that the product can discolour evenly, without weighing and less likely to stain.
5. Take off the bleach ahead of time: In order for the wires to reach the desired tone, it is necessary to let the product act correctly.
By taking these precautions and doing the process the right way, you are unlikely to have any unforeseen issues with your hair color. In addition, it is worth remembering that blonde hair, regardless of tone, requires patience and needs daily care so that they are always beautiful and healthy.
