If you have decided to Colour/bleach your Curls… Take heed:
Coloured Curls on natural heads are trending right now with the hues ranging from Golden Blondes to Rich Cherry Reds. But what about hair damage and caring for your hair whilst you Rock your coloured curls this year!
Going from Black to Blonde Coloured Curls:
Dipping into the Bleach:
When you choose to bleach your curls and you have dark hair already, your hair will be subject to some hair damage. Bleaching the hair involves lifting the melanin from the strands and essentially destroying it. Although there are conditioning ingredients that are mixed with peroxide (the bleaching active ingredient) to lessen the effects of damage, albeit damage will still occur.
Sal Says: Any chemical change you do to your hair will damage it to some degree.
When Colouring Natural Curls:
- Decide whether you will be ready to manage the changes in your hair, namely extra dryness!
- Choose a hairdresser who is experienced in colouring hair, especially if you are going lighter!
- Select natural hair products that deliver hydration, moisture and keep your hair healthy.
