That way, you won\u2019t have to bleach your hair again, but the lightening effect will still be evident.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#800080\"><\/i> If your balayage\u2019s base color is a darker color, like dark brown (3), you can ask your stylist to apply a dye that is brown (5), and you\u2019ll see how it lightens. <\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you know more or less what the theory is, but how do we end up with this in practice?<\/p>\n<p>Remember that we have to work only on the balayage\u2019s base without touching the ends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to mix the peroxide with the dye, which will all come included in the color kit.<\/p>\n<p>And then, you apply it to your roots up to where the balayage begins.<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffb5e8;color:#000000\">&nbsp;The hardest part is that you have to match the irregularity of the top of the balayage in each section and avoid staining your balayage with the dye.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll repeat it \u2013 if you don\u2019t want to ruin your balayage, your only choice is to do it with an experienced stylist.

Sulfate is a detergent that is very effective in eliminating dirt from your hair, but it also takes everything else with it, including color pigments, in the case of dyed hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list milista\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#800080\"><\/i> The second easy way to lighten your balayage is to do<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong> a keratin or botox treatment.

Which means, redo your balayage. <\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because bleaching your hair again is the same thing as getting another balayage.<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffb5e8;color:#000000\">&nbsp;If you decide to go for this option, I\u2019d recommend letting a few months go by between one balayage and the next, especially if your hair was weakened after the first one. The only thing you\u2019ll get out of doing two balayage so close together is severely damaging your hair. &nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d recommend, if possible, that you start with one of the two easy options.

Siempre fui curiosa y cada vez que mi madre y mi abuela iban al sal\u00f3n las acompa\u00f1aba para ver los distintos procesos, preguntaba todo lo que pod\u00eda y cuando ya estaba en mi casa armaba mi propio sal\u00f3n con mis juguetes. As\u00ed fue como m\u00e1s de adolescente me convert\u00ed en la \u201cestilista\\\" de todas mis amigas, realizaba decoloraciones, aplicaba tintes y hacia cambios totales de look. A los 20 a\u00f1os incursione en peinados para eventos y casamientos. Siempre me gust\u00f3 la idea de poder jugar con el cabello la infinidad de posibilidades y los cambios que genera en el autoestima de las mujeres. Siento que el cabello es el marco de la cara, lo que nos da impronta y reafirma nuestra personalidad. Desde tiempos ancestrales el cabello representa la sexualidad femenina. A todas las mujeres nos sucede que cuando estamos alegres festejamos con un cambio de look y cuando estamos en un mal momento renovamos las energ\u00edas en el sal\u00f3n. \u2022 Estudie en IAP (Instituto Argentino de peluquer\u00eda) para recibir mi t\u00edtulo de estilista en el a\u00f1o 2006. \u2022 Luego en el instituto tambi\u00e9n me especialice en colorimetr\u00eda, los colores y tonos del cabello son fundamentales para expresar lo que uno desea. \u2022 En el a\u00f1o 2015 en IAP tom\u00e9 cursos de alisado, b\u00f3tox y cauterizaci\u00f3n capilar. \u2022 Y en el a\u00f1o 2017 t\u00e9cnicas de desgastado (balayage, californianas etc). Mantenerse actualizada en las tendencias es fundamental para cualquier estilista. Cuando veo a mis clientas que ven el cabello exactamente como lo so\u00f1aban para mi es un logro personal. Me dedico especialmente a realizar cambios de look, colores fantas\u00edas, balayage, decoloraciones progresivas etc. Trabaje en varios salones, para adquirir toda la pr\u00e1ctica que necesitaba. La cadena de peluquer\u00edas \u00d3scar Colombo fue mi primer sal\u00f3n donde aprend\u00ed a interpretar a las clientas y a trabajar en equipo. Despu\u00e9s de un tiempo cambie mi enfoque a looks m\u00e1s osados en Monster Style, dedic\u00e1ndome full time a color, este sal\u00f3n en particular se dedicaba a cambios extremos colores fantas\u00edas y no convencionales, me sirvi\u00f3 mucho para aprender a utilizar la gama de tonos. Hasta que finalmente decid\u00ed armar mi sal\u00f3n en la comodidad de mi casa. Mi casa le da a mis clientas la tranquilidad de tener un espacio para ellas \u00fanicamente y totalmente personal, de esta manera cada una de ellas sabe que tienen un d\u00eda para distenderse y tambi\u00e9n, porque no, hablar de sus cosas. Para mi lo m\u00e1s importante es que obtengan el resultado que esperaban, as\u00ed que siempre pido una foto de referencia para saber bien que es lo que buscan y les doy un diagn\u00f3stico realista de cuantas sesiones llevar\u00e1, el da\u00f1o en el cabello, si se puede realizar o no. En resumen, la peluquer\u00eda es mi vocaci\u00f3n y mi arte. No podr\u00eda haber hecho otra cosa en mi vida que ser estilista. Por eso el nombre se mi sal\u00f3n es Ponete Linda, ponete linda para vos siempre.

Siempre fui curiosa y cada vez que mi madre y mi abuela iban al sal\u00f3n las acompa\u00f1aba para ver los distintos procesos, preguntaba todo lo que pod\u00eda y cuando ya estaba en mi casa armaba mi propio sal\u00f3n con mis juguetes. As\u00ed fue como m\u00e1s de adolescente me convert\u00ed en la \u201cestilista\" de todas mis amigas, realizaba decoloraciones, aplicaba tintes y hacia cambios totales de look. A los 20 a\u00f1os incursione en peinados para eventos y casamientos. Siempre me gust\u00f3 la idea de poder jugar con el cabello la infinidad de posibilidades y los cambios que genera en el autoestima de las mujeres. Siento que el cabello es el marco de la cara, lo que nos da impronta y reafirma nuestra personalidad. Desde tiempos ancestrales el cabello representa la sexualidad femenina. A todas las mujeres nos sucede que cuando estamos alegres festejamos con un cambio de look y cuando estamos en un mal momento renovamos las energ\u00edas en el sal\u00f3n. \u2022 Estudie en IAP (Instituto Argentino de peluquer\u00eda) para recibir mi t\u00edtulo de estilista en el a\u00f1o 2006. \u2022 Luego en el instituto tambi\u00e9n me especialice en colorimetr\u00eda, los colores y tonos del cabello son fundamentales para expresar lo que uno desea. \u2022 En el a\u00f1o 2015 en IAP tom\u00e9 cursos de alisado, b\u00f3tox y cauterizaci\u00f3n capilar. \u2022 Y en el a\u00f1o 2017 t\u00e9cnicas de desgastado (balayage, californianas etc). Mantenerse actualizada en las tendencias es fundamental para cualquier estilista. Cuando veo a mis clientas que ven el cabello exactamente como lo so\u00f1aban para mi es un logro personal. Me dedico especialmente a realizar cambios de look, colores fantas\u00edas, balayage, decoloraciones progresivas etc. Trabaje en varios salones, para adquirir toda la pr\u00e1ctica que necesitaba. La cadena de peluquer\u00edas \u00d3scar Colombo fue mi primer sal\u00f3n donde aprend\u00ed a interpretar a las clientas y a trabajar en equipo. Despu\u00e9s de un tiempo cambie mi enfoque a looks m\u00e1s osados en Monster Style, dedic\u00e1ndome full time a color, este sal\u00f3n en particular se dedicaba a cambios extremos colores fantas\u00edas y no convencionales, me sirvi\u00f3 mucho para aprender a utilizar la gama de tonos. Hasta que finalmente decid\u00ed armar mi sal\u00f3n en la comodidad de mi casa. Mi casa le da a mis clientas la tranquilidad de tener un espacio para ellas \u00fanicamente y totalmente personal, de esta manera cada una de ellas sabe que tienen un d\u00eda para distenderse y tambi\u00e9n, porque no, hablar de sus cosas. Para mi lo m\u00e1s importante es que obtengan el resultado que esperaban, as\u00ed que siempre pido una foto de referencia para saber bien que es lo que buscan y les doy un diagn\u00f3stico realista de cuantas sesiones llevar\u00e1, el da\u00f1o en el cabello, si se puede realizar o no. En resumen, la peluquer\u00eda es mi vocaci\u00f3n y mi arte. No podr\u00eda haber hecho otra cosa en mi vida que ser estilista. Por eso el nombre se mi sal\u00f3n es Ponete Linda, ponete linda para vos siempre.
