You can lighten your hair at home. It is easy, inexpensive and safe for the hair. No special knowledge and effort is required to make your color lighter.

First let's figure out the question "how to lighten hair at home." The most common means is a solution of hydrogen peroxide with a different percentage content. For example, for fine hair, 3-6% will suit, and for thick and thick in structure it is better to take 8-12% hydrogen peroxide solution.

The solution for clarification should be prepared immediately before the procedure itself. Hair of different length will require a different amount of clarifier. For an average length of hair 50-60g is enough. But it is better to do more so that you do not have to stop during the painting. To increase the effect, you can add ammonia alcohol. This should be done at the rate of 1 drop per 10 g peroxide solution. If you overdo it, you get a rusty hue.

Some features that you need to know in order to properly clarify hair at home:

Do not make the solution in a metal container to avoid a chemical reaction.

Hair before lightening it is desirable not to wash a couple of days to form its own protective layer and the procedure did not cause harm.

Lubricate the forehead near the hair roots with a cream: this will protect the skin from a burn. Do not apply the solution with brushes with natural fibers: the bristles quickly break down under the influence of chemistry. It is best to do this with a wooden stick with cotton wool wrapped around it. Or, as a last resort, use a brush with artificial bristles.

It is recommended to add a little liquid soap to the solution so that it does not spread. Shampoo can contain substances that can slow down or change the clarification process, so it's best not to use it.

Note that the hair roots are always stained better, because they are affected by the heat of the head. Therefore, apply the solution first to the main part of the hair to the very tips, allow to soak for a couple of minutes, repeat again and now you can paint the roots.

Do not wrap your hair after using a solution of hydrogen peroxide to avoid chemical burns to the scalp and damage to the hair.

After clarification, you need to wash your hair with water, you can use non-alkaline soap. Do not use shampoo to avoid damaging the color. It will be nice to rinse with water with a few drops of vinegar or lemon to neutralize hydrogen peroxide.
