Top 10 brightening paints

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Women have experimented with their appearance at all times, especially their hair. They made fashionable haircuts and constantly repainted curls, choosing, in their opinion, the perfect color. Blond has always been considered the most popular shade, therefore, brunettes, redheads and fair-haired ones strove to get the lightest and brightest tone possible without overflowing yellowness and copper. And, naturally, everyone got completely different colors in the end result. The lightening dye penetrated the hair structure, affected it and neutralized the natural pigment, which is different for all types.

In the past, very aggressive chemicals were used to become blonde. As a result, it was possible to get brittle, dull hair and not achieve the desired color. Today, too, there is a risk of damaging them if you choose the paint incorrectly, prepare it incorrectly or increase the exposure time. But this can be avoided if you turn to a stylist and trust a professional in such a delicate matter.

If you are used to dyeing your hair yourself, then with the correct procedure, you can save money and get a really amazing result. But it is worth remembering that professional paints are not ready for use, as is the case with store products that are adapted to the average customer, and their use will not cause difficulties even for beginners.

Clarifiers are of two types: ammonia and ammonia-free. The first ones are most effective when moving from a brunette to a blonde, while the second ones will not be able to give the desired shade the first time, but they will also harm the strands less. Many hair lightening dyes contain special caring formulas in their formulations that help protect hair and restore it after the procedure. These include beeswax, plant extracts, keratin and proteins.

In our rating, experts have selected the best brightening paints for obtaining cold or warm shades after the first application.

Expert advice before coloring

Before you buy a clarifier and start coloring at home, read the advice of professionals to avoid the depressing consequences after the procedure.

1. For dark, coarse and thick hair, choose a long lasting dye with a strong effect. Light curls can get a beautiful blonde shade with more gentle means.
2. For home use, it is better to buy ready-made paint with a creamy consistency, which does not require additional preparation for the procedure, is well distributed and does not flow.
3. It is worth postponing coloring if you have very thin and damaged hair or have recently undergone chemical treatments. Use revitalizing masks and firming shampoos, and after fixing problems, feel free to start lightening.
4. Strictly adhering to the rules of the procedure prescribed in the instructions, you are guaranteed a quality result. With an increase in the exposure time, it is possible to disrupt the hair structure or achieve more dire consequences.
5. Protection of curls and sensitive scalp will protect from cutting, brittleness, irritation. Various caring ingredients will restore their healthy appearance and give a shine to light shades.
6. It is worth remembering that blondes require more frequent staining and careful care. Therefore, before lightening your hair, think about whether a light shade will suit you, and whether you are ready to care for it.
7. The well-known brands have already proven the effectiveness and safety of their products. Even with the release of new lightening paints, the harmlessness of their compositions is guaranteed, as they undergo rigorous laboratory testing.
8. The main criterion for maintaining the original color and health of the curls is proper care after dyeing. Applying special masks, shampoos, conditioners for blondes, cold tones will be able to delight for a longer time, and nourishing and moisturizing formulas will protect against further damage.
9. And the most important advice: if you are just planning to change your hair color towards blond shades, then it is better not to risk it, but to contact the salon, where, depending on your preferences, they will select the tone that is ideal for you. Dosing and mixing ingredients at home can be difficult and undesirable, after which you still have to go and fix the situation with the professionals.
