How to return natural color after blonding

Blond hair is a popular color to experiment with, but eventually you may find yourself missing your original color. Returning to your natural shade can seem difficult, whether it’s for maintenance, hair health, or just a change of pace.

It’s not necessary to go overboard when restoring your natural hair color after blonding. You can maintain the health of your hair throughout the transition with the appropriate techniques and maintenance.

This article looks at practical ways to get your natural color back. Learn how to love your natural appearance again with these tips, from nourishing treatments to gradual coloring techniques.

Step Description
1. Stop bleaching Give your hair time to grow out and stop using bleach or other lightening products.
2. Trim regularly Cut your hair every few months to gradually remove the bleached ends.
3. Use color blending techniques Consider using lowlights or balayage to blend the natural color with the bleached hair for a smoother transition.
4. Apply a color toner Use a toner to reduce brassiness and help your hair color look more natural as it grows.
5. Deep condition Keep your hair moisturized and healthy with regular deep conditioning treatments to support regrowth.
6. Be patient Returning to your natural color takes time, so allow your hair to grow without rushing the process.

What did not happen to my hair

Literally nothing bad happened to my hair because of the strong, consistent, and frequent care.

  1. The length calmly increased (since I took care of the ends and the scalp)
  2. My hair was not burned (because of a good master and a good salon)
  3. My hair did not become incredibly thin, did not break off (since I regularly did masks and other care)
  4. There was no mismatch between hair color and appearance (because I am not too lazy to change my style to match a new hair color, like many others).

As you can see, I was able to fight off major issues in general and only minor ones, like a little fluffiness and thinness (my natural hair is quite thick), remained.

Curtain bangs

I was one of the many girls who was completely unjustly afraid of bangs.

I’m not sure why people have such strong opinions about them, but cutting my slightly damaged front hair into a gorgeous bang was one of the best hairstyle choices I ever made.

All blondes should really do this, and the sooner the better. Front strands are incredibly erratic. They can damage any image with their run-down appearance.

I went to my hairdresser and he created this beauty for me because I didn’t try to be my own director.

In addition, I had not had a haircut since April; prior to that, I had not had one for four months.

My bangs are neatly pulled back into a ponytail; they don’t protrude or fall out.

By the way, I only ever styled it once before quitting this business. I then followed its natural drying process (I dry naturally because I’m lazy).

Bangs in all homes, generally speaking!

The decision to return your color

Now that the background has been discussed, let’s return to the main topic: what should you do to return to your natural shade?

I didn’t think about the "cut off" option or the simpler "cut a little bit."

I don’t want drastic measures—I want gorgeous long hair!

I wanted to wear the light color for as long as possible, and I wasn’t ready to "dive" in the dark just yet (I have natural – 5 UGT), so the "paint over" option wasn’t for me.

The stylist also mentioned that it probably wouldn’t look good without bleaching.

The last choice is to "grow as is."

This is probably the most beneficial for hair and the most painful in terms of appearance: growing the roots while keeping the length toned. However, I decided on it now.

Not only can a solution like this preserve the length, color, and quality of your hair, but it can also give you a significant time window between saying "yes, no, I’ll go back to light" and saying "I’m definitely ready for dark" for an extended period of time.

Moreover, updos, which I can never seem to pull off, not only cover up the particular hair color, but they also, in my opinion, add some flair.

It’s not so scary to grow roots! All of the ideas that your hair looks bad and that you should quickly darken it or cut its length are simply reflections of the opinions of people who concluded that going blonde meant giving up on their hair.

Updos can highlight uneven hair growth by casting a lovely "shadow," and a well-groomed main hair length can satisfy you for a lot longer than you may have imagined. Keep in mind that going blonde is not the same as losing your hair!

After blonding, going back to your original hair color can be a rewarding process, but it calls for perseverance and careful maintenance. Throughout the process, it’s critical to keep your hair health in mind. To keep your hair strong and avoid damage, use nourishing products and give it regular treatments.

If you can’t wait for the color to develop naturally, you can make the transition easier with methods like dyeing or lowlighting. By blending your roots with the blonde using these techniques, you can progressively reveal more of your natural color and create a softer, more organic look.

Whichever route you decide on, it’s important to maintain consistency in your hair care regimen. You can enjoy a smoother transition back to your natural color and maintain the healthiest possible appearance for your locks by taking the time to restore the health of your hair and seeking professional assistance if needed.

After going blonde, you may want to go back to your original hair color, but doing so will take time and careful preparation. Whether you decide to get professional assistance, use color-correcting techniques, or grow it out, it’s critical to select a technique that minimizes damage and preserves the health of your hair. You can keep your hair vibrant and strong while gradually going back to your natural shade if you take the proper approach.
