How To Pull Off Going Brunette To Blonde

Colure® Blog Post

Brunettes, listen up. If you’ve been thinking of switching up your dark tresses for something a bit lighter this summer, then these tips are for you! Begin by researching what shade of blonde you would like. Ultimately you’re looking for a shade that will complement your eye color and skin tone. With so many shades to choose from, chances are there will be a blonde tone to best suit you. These days, going blonde doesn’t have to be an all-over blonde. A balayage ombré technique (darker roots fading down to lighter ends) is an excellent introduction to making the transition to blonde to see if you like it. Then you can always go lighter from there.

Ensure your hair is in the best condition possible before coloring.
Although there are ways of ensuring your hair sustains the least amount of damage as possible from bleaching which will always cause some damage. So before you head to the hair salon with blonde photos on your iPhone, make sure your hair is in the healthiest condition possible.

We recommend doing regular deep conditioning treatments and getting regular trims. We recommend using COLURE’s Regenerative Hair Masque treatment at home: This treatment strengthens, restores and hydrates the hair while protecting the hair against chemical processing in the salon. Keep in mind damaged, and dry hair is not only going to look less vibrant and youthful, but the damage also affects the way the color is absorbed. In short, the better condition your hair is in, the better hair color will look and more importantly will last.

Be patient – the final results won’t happen overnight.
Do not expect a dramatic change in one visit, and it can take several appointments to achieve the result you want. We recommend adding COLURE’s Reparative Spray Plus to the lightener, which protects the hair while keeping it healthy and vibrant looking. It’s a process going from brunette to blonde and patience is the key.

Here is a great example, Khloé​ Kardashian’s hair transformation – she had been lightening her hair for years, starting with an ombré, moving into baby lights and now, undergoes a full head of highlights. Each salon visit will get you closer to your end goal, doing it this way will maintain the health of your hair to be it’s best. You will need to take care of your hair at home with COLURE Treatments in-between each service to help maintain healthy hair.
