Choose the perfect shade of blonde for your skin
If you have cool undertones, platinum or baby blonde hair can complement your tone (especially when combined with a shaded hairline, which adds dimension to the overall tone and prevents you from looking washed out). However, you should consult your hairdresser before choosing a light tone. Butter blonde and golden blonde look best on people with warm undertones.
How long does it take?
From black to blonde in one day? Changing from dark to blonde hair color can be a difficult and time-consuming process. There are also many follow-up steps and follow-up appointments that need to be scheduled. And as already mentioned: It's better not to dye your hair yourself at home and book an appointment with your hairdresser.

You should allow at least three hours, preferably more, for the transformation - although the exact amount of time depends on how the hair reacts to the pre-lightener and toner.
In order to get their dream blonde, dark-haired women usually have to make 2 - 3 appointments. If they have very dark brown or black hairswitch to blonde hair, it may take much longer. You should space out the sessions so that you can keep your hair in good condition between bleaching sessions by using lots of masks on your curls.
Pay attention to the condition of the hair

Consider the condition and strength of your hair before coloring it. Your hair must be in good condition to survive the lengthy and damaging coloring process.
Use of heat tools should be kept to a minimum and replace cheap products with salon-quality shampoos and conditioners (without sulfates and parabens). To ensure that your hair can withstand the bleaching process, be sure to trim off any dead ends. You can start coloring when your hair is properly prepared to achieve the healthiest result possible.
Coloring from black to blonde – instructions
1. Find the right shade
Your colorist should get a feel for the area the client wants before lightening the strands. Is balayage desired? Do you want a blonde shade all over your hair? With the ability to adjust the intensity of each method, one can achieve any effect, from delicate and subtle to striking and dramatic.
2. Bleaching
It goes without saying that a quality lightening product is essential before dyeing black hair. Everything on your head is bleached except the top 2 to 3 cm of your hairline. Because the scalp conducts heat, it is best to bleach the hairline last as it will digest the bleach faster than the rest of the hair. After the rest of your hair has been processed, your colorist will proceed to bleaching the hairline.

3. Achieve the ideal color with toner
You can wash the bleach out of your hair once it has raised it to the desired level. It is completely natural and expected for black or extremely dark hair to take on a brassy tone when bleached. You can remove any orange with a toner. While a toner will give you a cooler, more natural shade of blonde, it won't actually lighten the hair.
It is common practice to leave the toner on the hair for 5 - 10 minutes so that it can take effect. The next step is to wash the dye out of your hair.
Wait about six weeks before trying the steps again if you didn't get perfect blonde the first time. Bleaching your hair more than once in a day will only make the damage worse and may even ruin your hair. This is because your hair needs some time off to replenish its natural oils.

To maintain the look of salon-fresh blonde, you should frequently tone it with a purple shampoo. If you want your blonde hair color to last longer and be less brassy, invest in a purple shampoo.
