Coloring your hair is a fun way of expressing your individuality. Pre-lightening of your hair or bleaching is done to get the desired shade of your favorite hair color. It is a vital step in prepping your hair for semi-permanent hair coloring. Pre-lightening creates an even canvas, ensuring the final shade is exactly what you want. You can skip the pre-lightening process if you have naturally light brown hair color, but brunettes cannot skip it; you have to swim against the tide.! Also, do not forget to include our Color Buddy in the process to handle the damage caused during the bleaching process. The mix can be used with bleach during application for damage reversal, and the fix - leave in serum can be used for smoother, frizz free hair after the process.
