Colorists call it lightening. It’s less aggressive than bleaching and simpler to use.

Although it’s less aggressive to your hair than bleaching, it’s just as damaging. .Therefore, you should only use it every three weeks. In this way, you’ll achieve an even, gradual lightening without excessive damage.
What do you need?
- 20-volume developer.
- Moisturizing shampoo with coconut, argan, rose, or jojoba oil. Also, keratin, shea butter, or hydrolyzed proteins. If your shampoo includes one or more of these ingredients, it can be a part of the mixture.
