How to lighten the tips of the hair at home

Brightening the tips is a great solution for those who do not want to completely change their hair color. This coloring is called ombra, it allows you to cut off the ends if necessary. To achieve a good result, you need to clearly follow the instructions.

Stage number 1. Training

1. Start cooking hair for 10 days. Make nourishing masks, rinse with a decoction of medicinal herbs.
2. If you use purchased cosmetics, give preference to the natural composition without the content of impurities and sulfates.
3. A few weeks before the procedure, refuse shampoos and balms for colored hair, otherwise the result of lightening will surprise you greatly.
4. Ombre will look natural if the difference between the tips and the main hair color is insignificant. Choose soft dyes or tonics.
5. Determine the place from which the ombre will begin.Do not make staining close to the root zone, even if you have short hair, otherwise you will get the effect of regrown roots. An ideal variant of transition from natural head of hair to the clarified tips is the middle of the neck.
6. Even though Ombre is made using light pigments, wear old clothes or a hairdressing apron.
7. Always use plastic, rubber or silicone gloves. Usually they are in a pack of paint. Otherwise, the skin of the hands will suffer greatly from the whitening ingredients. Prepare a brush or sponge for application in advance.
8. Comb your hair thoroughly with a wide-toothed comb or natural bristle brush. Start with the tips, gradually moving up.

Stage number 2. Clarification process

1. Prepare a brightener or hair dye, which will be used for the procedure. Keep in mind that bleach is very hard, but it gives a much better result. Dye differs in the careful relation to hair and head skin. As a brightening component, use 20% hydrogen peroxide solution,mixed with purchased hair whitening powder in equal proportions. Combine components in a homogeneous composition. Be sure to perform the procedure with the windows open.
2. Spend a comb over the head, making a parting. Tie your hair in two tails. First dissolve one and divide it into 7 strands, then do the same with the second. Use small rubber bands to separate the strands between themselves. Owners of thick hair are recommended to increase the number of sections to 10. Now you need to take a flat comb with a large number of teeth and comb each strand in the place where the ombre will begin. This method will help make the transition smooth, due to which the clarification will look harmonious.
3. Proceed to the direct application of bleach. Take a little makeup with a brush or sponge and walk along the strands, starting with the tips. Your movements should be smooth, barely noticeable. Do not take a large amount of the drug, otherwise the clarification will turn out to be uneven and ugly. After the first stroke, make a second, but more thorough. Spread the ends well so that there are no unstained areas.Rise above, carefully apply the clarifier to the transition point. Go to the following strands, covering them also in 2 touches. Use a mirror if the hair is short and you are working on the back of the head. Before completing the application, make sure that the transition line is blurred; it should not be clearly visible. Cut the foil into rectangular pieces and wrap all the straightened strands with them. Capture a slice of the base color.
4. Now it is necessary to withstand the clarifier for a certain amount of time. If you want to greatly brighten the ends, leave the bleach for 30 minutes. In cases where you need to make hair 1 tone lighter, hold for 20 minutes. Periodically check the result by removing the drug from a small section of the curl. When you get the desired shade, immediately proceed to the wash. Thoroughly rinse each strand, otherwise the bleach will remain on the hair, as a result of which lightening will continue. Do not remove the gloves until the end of the procedure. After rinsing with running water, use a shampoo. Do not use masks and balms for 6 hours.
