Talk to your hairstylist.

You’ll need the help of your hairstylist to choose the right shade of blonde. This professional will be needed to do the procedure and help find the color that best matches your skin and your tastes.

They’ll also be able to apply the correct hair colorimetry technique to reach the shade you want, studying the colors and their fixation on the hair.

That’s why you need to tell them everything about your hair. Tell them how you care for your hair, how often you go to the salon, if you have other chemicals on it, etc. Listen to their professional opinion so you can reach the desired results.

If you have a shade of blonde you want, show pictures to the hair professional. That will help them understand what you’re looking for.

Be responsible for your hair care.

The next step is understanding that lightening your hair means a long-term commitment to it. Your hair will need double the efforts to maintain its color vibrantly, pretty, and to stay healthy.

With any change of color, the lighter it is, the more you’ll have to care for it and the more it’ll alter your routine. That means investing more in new products specifically for chemically treated hair. It also means going to the beauty salon more often.

If you don’t follow a hair schedule closely, you’ll need to include that in your routine. You’ll need more moisturizing, humectants, and frequent reconstructions to maintain your blonde. Are you ready for that? Think it through!

Start with more discreet techniques.

If you’ve never had light hair, you should become blonde slowly. First, try techniques like highlights, balayage, or California style to check if the chosen shade will look good and match your skin tone.

Again, it would be best if you ideally talked to your hairstylist to choose the best way to change your hair. Don’t go radical on your own.
