THE HAIR LIGHTENING JOURNEY
FROM BROWN TO BLONDE

It’s not uncommon to see quintessential brunette’s of Hollywood flirt with blonde tones or pull off a whole new head of hair! Khloe Kardashian being a prime example. However, while it’s always exciting to try a new look, acheiving that ideal crisp blonde isn't quite as quick and easy as the celebs make it look. As a result, we’ve outlined what it really takes to best prepare you for the lightening journey and help keep your hair strong and healthy along the way!

IF YOU HAVE VIRGIN HAIR- If you’ve never coloured your hair before, that means it’s what we call virgin hair. When going from brown to blonde, having virgin hair is a big advantage. If you’ve had your hair dyed before, lifting and correcting the previous dye can lead to unpredictable and uneven tones and generally adds to the process.

IF YOU HAVE LIGHT BROWN HAIR- When refering to hair shades your stylist may use the term 'level'. Level simply refers to how light or dark a hair colour is, the lower the number, the darker the hair. The number ranges from 1-12, with 1 being the darkest black, and 12 the lightest blonde. If your hair is lighter, somewhere between a 6-12, you are in luck. Becoming a blonde will require lifting your colour a level or two. This needs to happen so that your stylist has a blank canvas to start creating the colour you want with blonde dye. As your hair is lighter, lifting your hair to the desired level will require less salon visits to make hair magic happen!

IF YOU HAVE DARK BROWN HAIR- If your hair is in the 1-6 range you're hair will need to be lifted to a much higher level. Making a drastic change like this means a higher risk of your hair's much needed moisture being stripped and causing damage to the hair follicle. This may lead to to fall out, breakage and thinning. In order to maintain the integrity of you hair you will need to lift gradually and give your hair plenty of rest in between dye jobs. You’re looking at a pretty extended process but trust us, it's worth it in the end!

OUR TOP TIPS:
PATIENCE - One of the biggest risks of changing your hair colour drastically is causing irreversible damage. To avoid this scenario, it’s important to be patient with each step of the process. Transitioning from brunette to blonde is a process as it often requires multiple salon visits over a long period of time and plenty of treatments to get the right colour WITHOUT damaging the hair. Which also means being PATIENT through the various tones of warmth your hair may encounter along the way!

TREAT + CONDITION – Lightening can cause a lot of your hair's natural moisture to be stripped wich can lead to many damaging hair issues, ESPECIALLY if it’s only recently been lightened! Therefore, salon quality treatments are KEY to repairing your coloured hair and giving it the moisture it needs to remain soft and silky. At stefan we offer many treatments that your stylist can specifically tailor for your individual hair needs. Learn more about our in-salon treatments here.

TONE – Brighten up your blonde hair with a toning shampoo. The purple pigment counteracts the brassy yellow tones, making it a cooler and more balanced colour. Learn more about toning here.

In addition to these key points, on your journey to achieving a lighter look it’s also important to schedule regular trims and give your hair some downtime from heat-styling if you can. You can also use a number of at home products to keep your blonde beautiful in between salon visits! Shop our must have blonde products here.
