From household black to blond in one day and without consequences. Myth or reality?

Going from black to blond in your hair is considered a daring change. Many people ponder whether it’s feasible to transition from dark to light hair in a single day without endangering it.

Though it’s often discussed, the procedure entails more than just a straightforward dye job. Bleach is typically needed to go blonde, and if done incorrectly, it can cause dry, brittle hair or even breakage.

But can you really make this kind of drastic change without damaging your hair? Now that we have the facts, let’s investigate whether this is a myth or something you can try safely.

Myth	Reality
Quick transformations from black to blond in one day often lead to damaged hair, split ends, and dryness.	It is possible to go from black to blond in one day, but it requires professional techniques, high-quality products, and a careful process to minimize damage.
Over-the-counter bleach or dye kits can"t give salon-quality results and might severely damage your hair.	A skilled colorist can use a combination of treatments, toners, and conditioning products to achieve the desired look while protecting hair health.
Hair can become weak and break if bleached too quickly.	Some salons offer gradual lightening treatments that balance speed and hair safety, but it"s always a challenge.

Background

I started receiving staining appeals as soon as I was a master, most of which were motivated by a desire to avoid working with black. These were usually girls who had been painted in black for a very long time. They typically desired cold blond hair, either in its entirety or in its length—that is, on the area where this particular shade of blond hair is most unlikely to occur.

There were also those who asked for dark gray or blue tips, naively believing that since blue or gray is slightly lighter than black, it means it is easy to get. People were very surprised that it is almost impossible. People were unhappy that it takes a long time, about 8 hours and more, and she also talked about the mandatory execution of some kind of test strand. We want here and now. People were stunned and went into the sunset when I named the price. In the post I will try to clearly show what happens to hair when leaving black, I will tell you why it takes so long and why it is expensive.

Since leaving the black is a commercial secret, I won’t go into great detail about the steps involved, but there are plenty of lists on the Internet that outline how to do so. However, without an extra pair of hands with specific knowledge and abilities, you won’t typically be able to complete the task as intended. It’s important to remember that, aside from leaving the black in place, you also want to preserve the quality of your hair, so although it might work for some, pouring out a bucket of powder mixed with 6-9% oxide is not an option.

Come on, Krch!

Where does black hair come from

After hearing the cost of my services, 99.99% of people who get in touch with me send me on a sensual stroll; in place of a real girl, I’ll demonstrate the procedure on test strands. They’ll number three. The fourth is occasionally visible in the picture, but she is merely for companionship. Three natural hair test strands, 6-7 inches long. In order to make you happy, I purposefully made the strands thicker and longer.

• I will simply bleach the first strand and show a visual result of bleaching virgin-clean hair.
• I will dye the second strand with black paint once. This is an option from the category of "well, it happens to everyone: everyone makes mistakes", t.e for cases when a girl with natural hair paints in black and immediately understands what stupidity she made. Why is it stupid? Because she didn"t like the result, and the road back is very difficult.
• I will dye the third and fourth strands many times until my dye reserves run out. And then on the third strand I will do a full exit from black with all the dances with a tambourine, trying to squeeze out the maximum result while maintaining the quality of the hair we understand, yes, that people want to exit black and keep the length . At first I wanted to bleach the fourth strand with a household bleach, but I remembered that requests for "get black without powder, I"m afraid of powder, get this nasty stuff away from me. 11" are no less frequent, so I will try my best to clean this strand without powder.

It is clear that all these manipulations will only show a spherical situation in a vacuum, but at least you will know what to be prepared for.

Okay. Two stunning black dyes from the closest Magnit are available for us. One is 135 rubles, the other 89.

These boxes contain gloves, a paint tube, an activator cream bottle, and a bag of balm. Because the paint is intended for a broad consumer base that wants it less expensive, doesn’t want to bother, can paint over gray hair, and doesn’t want gray hair to stand out for too long, a high activator—6%, 9%, or 12%—is added; the exact percentage isn’t always stated. When I used household dyes for personal purposes, I was not concerned with such little things in life.

Our people are also frugal; they like to paint the entire length and preserve it for a longer period of time. In actuality, the pigment becomes permanently embedded in the hair as a result of the continuous exposure to high oxides. This process also helps to cause future thinning and gradual deterioration of the hair. Slapping 6% on the same spot each month isn’t the same as using a lanza to wash your face.

And I was one of them in the distant past

It’s more of a myth than a reality to go from black to blonde in a single day without breaking your hair. Although some products claim to work quickly, lightening dark hair to blonde is a difficult process that can seriously harm hair. Expert stylists typically advise taking a stepwise approach and scheduling several appointments in order to preserve the health of the hair. It is advisable to exercise patience and give hair care priority over quick results when trying to go blonde, as doing so too soon can cause breakage, dryness, and even hair loss.

Wash and bleach.

Wash

I chose to tackle the wash first. using a routine acid wash. Its job is to assist in removing the cosmetic pigment so that the lightening’s background can be seen. Washing does not make hair lighter.

A bit of boring theory

The reason for the fourth background is that some of the natural pigment in the hair is lost when it is exposed to paint or powder. Every level has a unique background of lights. image sourced from moysalon.ru

Now let’s return to the subject. Washing aids in breaking the bonds holding the cosmetic pigment in place inside the hair, making removal easier later on. Any oxidizing effect, which can result from oxidizing elements that appear out of nowhere in the air or from the abrupt application of any paint on a more or less sane oxide. Yes, and you believed you were in a fairy tale until this happened? makes these shattered connections whole again, and we can see how "the color returns, the hair is black again."

Read the directions for the product you choose to use carefully to avoid this. But that won’t make it work. You can wash up to seven times, but I find that washing no more than twice or three times is ideal. I used one wash approach on the second strand, which was dyed once, and three approaches on the other two, which were repeatedly black. And this is what took place:

• The second strand almost returned to its original shade, but… began to have a reddish tint. Because it is not fully pigmented hair, but hair with washing off. The background of the lightening has been exposed. Sooner or later, such hair will become thinner and extremely fragile. It"s like bleaching natural hair to blond and… not doing anything else with it. You need to tone or move on to lightening if you want it lighter.

• The third and fourth strands after 2-3 approaches to washing acquired such intense copper shades (two strands on the far right). Many who have resorted to washing off hair that has been repeatedly dyed black/chestnut note such a red tint. This is the exposed background of the lightening, which corresponds to 5-6 ugt in the best case. In practice, the wash does not remove the dye so lightly, stopping at 4 ugt, and then further lightening is required.

Bleaching

Someone finds this amusing, gets upset, and starts to suffer with the idea that they should be a Russ instead of red and definitely not dark. This implies that the powder-bleaching stage is the following. Since I’m a timid person and the master is pessimistic, I only work with low oxides in these situations.

• As promised, we bleach three strands: from left to right multiple-black, single-black and natural. The mixture is the same everywhere: powder Ollin mint and 3% oxide. Holding time 1 hour.

A little about the holding time of the powder

Regarding holding time, different powders from various manufacturers have different recommendations. Generally speaking, 1.5% and 3% should be handled between 40 and 60 minutes, but don’t forget to visually and tactilely monitor the process. There is no use in preserving the powder if the hair has bleached to the appropriate level of lightening or brightness. Similarly, if the hair has started to tear or stretch, holding the powder becomes risky.

• Already at the 20th minute, it is visible difference in bleaching strands:

over time, not right away

Results of bleaching

When it dries, we obtain the following:

The outcome is more than poetic. The natural strand has generally lightened to 9 ugt, so why not continue coloring it to a slightly warmer or not so light shade if the owner of such hair is content with that?

Unfortunately, in the photo the strand turned out darker and with copper, but this is enough to compare with the next strand.

Indeed! Most likely, you noticed the black stripe where two strands of bleaching met. This is a perfect illustration of how adjacent oxidative processes can restore the desired color. Three washes might not have been sufficient, and it’s also possible that I forgot to mention neutralizing and halting the processes the composition of the wash caused. In real life, I strive to completely bleach the hair, rather than just a portion of it like I did here, to prevent this kind of issue.

unforeseen circumstances

A fourth strand was also present. However, it was misplaced during coloring and transit. However, I will state in absentia that the result of leaving black without using paste or powder for bleaching will be noticeably darker than the result of leaving black through powder, so… draw conclusions.

Do you believe that to be it? If only, if only… Reapplying the powder is frequently necessary, and should the condition of the hair permit it, do so. Depending on the dynamics of the color and the quality of the hair, we hold it for a specific period of time. I applied pressure for half an hour and then removed it using the same method, which halted the alkaline processes. And this is the image that follows:

Three strands were lightened: one to 10 ugt, one to 9 ugt, and one to 7 ugt. Indeed, the copper has not disappeared.

Such hair cannot be dyed with a lighter color, at least not in part because the cosmetic and neutralizing pigment concentration in the "lighter dye" is insufficient to fully cover and neutralize the copper.

You can bleach until you succeed, of course, but using my material in the absence of plexes, bonds, boosters, and other additives that quickly repair the recently damaged structure will just cause the hair to start falling out. The great majority of black fugitives will not, and will not want to, pay more than the specified amount because dumps, bonds, and other similar items are relatively large sums of money. Even so, there’s no assurance that the stylist will pull your red hair into a winning blonde cut.

1. Washing. from 1 to 4 hours
2. Bleaching. Initial and repeated. from 2 to 9 hours depending on the thickness of the hair, the thickness of the strands and the number of approaches. subject to constant visual and tactile control, pulling each strand and re-applying the powder. you want to leave the hairdresser with the length you came with?
3. Tinting. 1-2 hours including drying/styling.

What pitfalls can you encounter?

Various colored spots and stripes that could result from haphazard dyeing using just your hands and a mirror. Yes, you could not just dye certain parts of the hair. Alternately, attempt at-home hidden coloring and only dye certain sections of your hair.

What about natural colors?

It’s possible that you were unaware of the dye’s characteristics, such as its extreme bleaching effect, which makes it impossible to cover when someone says, "I want a cold light brown." Furthermore, you run the risk of turning into an evil Pinocchio that can only be saved by scissors if you experimented with tint products but concealed them from the hairdresser, saying things like "no, so what, it washed off, you can’t see it!" Really? It’s preferable not to torture the hairdresser and yourself by cutting it off. Yes, progressively and painfully. felt as though you were in a storybook? – 2 or assume a non-light, consistent outcome.

An instance of a failed project in which the requested color was not dark blond and the base turned out to be complex (bright colors that emerged from black and initially damaged hair). I should not have taken on this project and should have given it a darker hue.

1. What they carried with them 2. following baths, 3. Following bleaching, 4. following toning

An instance of effective work where the request was to simply bring out black, and the base was not as wild as in the first case

But who am I to say I’m being dishonest?) Initially, both requests were made with the phrase "I want an Instagram color stretch," but I had to talk the girls down during the diagnostics. Does it hurt? Naturally.

Additionally, the color will fade from such hair more quickly, revealing the lighter background. For this reason, extra care must be given to such hair, and the color should be adjusted as much as possible. By God, it would be better to do it in color; it would be more useful and beautiful. The girl in the first example has green and reddish tones, while the girl in the second example has yellow and reddish tones.

What about color dyeing?

Not everything about bright dyeing is easy to work with, either. Your hair can be easily bleached to a light 9 or 10 ugt, at which point the doors to the colored universe are wide open. Pastel or saturated, chilly or warm. gray-lilac-blue even. Everything is conceivable!

The possibilities of bright dyeing are drastically diminished when hair from a black�chestnut\violet-cherry household is bleached into yellow-red-brown. *I will omit my black humor*.

You won’t be able to get all the light/pastel shades, even after the unwanted background lightening on your hair has been neutralized. Instead, you will only be able to achieve all the saturated cold shades, which include purple, blue, light blue, green, and turquoise/sea green, with extreme difficulty and possibly dirt.

In other words, you can use warm, saturated hues from the opposite row, such as burgundy, orange, red, and fuchsia pink, which will result in the least amount of dirt. However, these are typically the least requested colors.

In conclusion, perfect base or uncolored hair is necessary for trendy colors.

For examples, you don’t have to look far. For a long time, girls have dyed their hair black or chestnut shades (with the exception of the last girl, who had a one-time dyeing), but they were hoping for a secret blue or pink or hidden pink. That is precisely what took place.

A few thoughts

Some of you might object, saying things like, "The author is a noob and has embarrassed himself. I dyed my hair black for 150 years, and in six months I was brought to a gorgeous blonde, hair in place, etc.d. etc.p." Which I can respond to as follows: Individuals differ in their initial hair type; some are more resilient to chemical treatments, while others are extremely sensitive. distinct genetics.

Distinct original natural color. The outcome will be lighter the lighter the natural color. Again, though, not always. distinct dye and maintenance quality. I’ve sent away clients whose test results were insufficient to support their transition from black to blonde, and I could have brought some of those clients to blonde, but I chose not to.

Individuals take different care of their hair. Individuals request different lengths of hair. It is evident that a girl with a short haircut can be brought from a dark to a lighter shade more easily than a mermaid with long hair. What tools the master uses and how much time and opportunity he has are crucial details.

There are premium materials, which include a bunch of components to support the hair structure before, during and after coloring, and they cost such the products, as well as the additives in the mixture, are expensive. There is a medium segment, which is a little simpler, but the hair also feels relatively good at the end. And there are budget cosmetics, which often do not have all the restorative components for hair, and we are not talking about all sorts of hydrolyzed keratins, proteins, oils, extracts, leave this company for a homemade mask in a jar., and if such cosmetics can be used with natural hair without noticeable harm, then I cannot imagine it possible to achieve a grand exit from black with the subsequent maximum light result.

Although I personally cannot currently afford to work with high-end materials, this does not preclude me from using the same products to take care of my own hair.

Most people are not able to safely go from black to blonde in one day without damaging their hair. While some say it’s possible, in practice, serious damage is usually avoided by taking multiple steps and handling the material carefully by a professional.

If you’re serious about making this drastic change, speak with a colorist who can evaluate the state of your hair and walk you through a protective treatment. Hurrying the transition can result in irreversible damage, dryness, and breakage.

The secret is to be patient. It’s preferable to gradually attain the look you want rather than jeopardizing the health of your hair. Making the right hair care decisions along the way will guarantee a seamless and fulfilling transition from black to blonde.
