In our time, any representative of the fair sex can acquire a light hair color. If you take the means for coloring at home, then lightening can be quite budgetary. There are an incredible variety of paint brands, each brand has even more lines with its own characteristics, and each has brightening options.

How was it before?
Ladies wanted to become blondes since ancient times. The Germans used the most effective way. They put on hats without a bottom, and putting their hair on the brim of the hat, they covered them with a mixture of beech ash, talcum powder, lime and cinnabar. Then they were under the scorching sun. Direct sunlight could lighten dark hair to a light reddish hue.
And only in the 60s of the XIX century in France invented peroxidehydrogen. This lightening method was first used by the court hairdresser Hugo at the court of Empress Eugenia.
Lightening Options
If a girl decides to lighten her hair, then there are two ways to help her: in the salon and at home. It all depends on the initial conditions, namely, the original hair color and their condition. It should be understood that it is better to dye black or dark chestnut hair in a salon where there are professional tools for faster and maximum destruction of dark pigment inside the hair. If the hair color varies from light blond to chestnut, you can lighten it at home. In addition, it is also many times more profitable than salon coloring.
The only downside of lightening at home can be more than one procedure, but several. In this case, a gap of a certain number of days or weeks is maintained, because it is difficult to get a platinum blond the first time. Most often, after the first use of a lightening dye, the hair may give off a red tint.
