Caring for bleached hair requires extra care.
Keep reading to discover the products you need to carry out the bleaching process successfully and for your hair to come out looking great.
What is bleaching and why can it harm your hair if you don't treat it properly?
It is a risky process that modifies the hair cuticle and sometimes weakens and dries it, causing it to lose its protein and natural shine if measures are not taken.
What care after discoloration is recommended ? If you are thinking about lightening your hair or have already done so, it is important that you take note of the following tips to take care of your hair after the process . This way you will be able to keep it healthy like the first day and have beautiful, well-kept hair.
Avoid exposing your hair to heat . To do this, try to use dryers and straighteners as little as possible, otherwise you will make your hair look yellowish as if it were straw. You should also avoid direct sunlight, as this exposure can make your hair more dry. If you can't avoid it, your allies will be hats, caps and HAIR SUNSCREENS.
After bleaching, the strands are weaker, so it is advisable to detangle the hair carefully , avoiding pulling the strands too much to prevent the hair from breaking.
Do not go to bed with wet hair (this is the moment when the hair is weakest) or dry it with a towel, as this can cause hair loss and breakage.
Bleached hair is more prone to split ends , so ideally you should clean them every two months to make sure the damage doesn't extend to the top.

These are my initial recommendations to restore and maintain essential nutrients for your hair. Just like skin, hair needs a balanced intake of vitamins and minerals. Using nutrient-rich products and maintaining a healthy diet are key to revitalizing your hair.
A proper home care regimen with high-quality shampoos, conditioners, and treatments tailored to your hair type will enhance shine, softness, and health. Consistency is crucial: use weekly deep conditioning masks, limit heat styling, and protect against environmental damage. Consider supplements like biotin or omega-3 for added benefits. These steps improve hair appearance and strength.
