Tragically Blonde HairstylesBlonde Hairstyles

What would you do to go blonde? Female Fatale, Rebel without a Cause is one determined blonde-haired woman.
You see them everywhere and against all natural odds - they are blonde. Sort of. They sit in the stylist's chair with frizzy blonde, black-roots begging for more bleach. Their hair is screaming for moisture. See picture on the left...
For under $20 dollars you could help fix that problem with some products that could actually make your hair blonde, healthy and shinny. Maybe even natural? Blondes do have more fun - see Jessica Simpson hairstyles, but if you are not in the Salon cutting your hair every 3 months, and have dry, damaged hair, don't despair.
Should I blow Dry?
Even if you do not blow dry 100% pure natural hair, it becomes damaged creating split ends, by ingredients like climate, dryness, over highlighting and mostly by avoiding your stylist. If you are using a moistening condition for dry hair, or a re-constructer for damaged hair, should able you to blow-dry just fine.
Adding heat from a blow dryer weakens the strands and sometimes it breaks off in extreme cases. So put the proper conditioning treatment in your hair and ask a Salon that has a good reputation to help you find that product that you need.
Conditioner or Re-constructer?
If you have just a few blonde highlights, mixed in with a few other colors, you probably just need a moisturizing conditioner. Try Joico's Moisturizer or K-Pac Daily Conditioner, Redkin's Extreme Shampoo, or Sebastian's Potion 9.
If you are heavily blonde, and haven't been dark since you can't remember when, then try bc bonacure's Repair Treatment, one of the best quick fixes out there. It's a honey/wheat protein base to help strengthen the hair. For longer term results try Joico's K-Pack Re-constructer. Both products do a great job.
Lowlights?
Lowlights might be the way to go and can add a lot more moisture to your hair. Lowlights are usually sliced through the other lightening foils to add depth and darken some of your over stressed blonde hair. Giving it a chance to recover and absorb its lacking pigment. The good thing is that you could go more a natural blonde or golden, if you're brave go for a caramel or a darker color. Pick your blonde back up in the summer, after it 's healthy and rejuvenated. You'll look good and feel better.
If you can't live with the idea of adding some lowlights (and they can be dark blonde lowlights) to your platinum do, then let's fix it the easy way.
After Blow-drying and assuming you are using your conditioner apply a small amount of Farouk's Bio Silk Therapy. It's silk in a bottle. It will also protect your hair from the damage it sustains without bleaching or blow-drying. The amount of no more then a dime rubs into your hands before you apply the clear less lotion to dry hair. Instantly all your fly away ends and dryness is gone. Until you wash it, of course.
For an extreme shine finish use Joico's Spray Glaze, Shine-Enhancer. It smells nice and really gives a nice shine. Keeping shine, keeps moisture and helps make you condition process that much easier. There's a reason why blondes have more fun! You go girls!
Black Hair Dye Removal
Removing Black Hair Dye
Black hair dye is one of the most difficult colors to remove from your hair. The black pigment is so saturated that it sticks hard to your hair strands and it penetrates deep into the hair shaft. To remove black hair dye will not be as easy as simply applying a new hair color.
Removing black hair dye will usually start by bleaching out the black hair pigments. This will be a long process that carries the risk of severely weakening your hair.
As each layer of coloring is bleached away you will notice that your hair changes to various shades of red, orange and eventually white.
To minimize this discoloration, make sure that the black color is removed evenly. Use a toner after bleaching. This will reduce the orange discoloration of the hair.
Once you reach a light shade you can then add hair coloring that is closer to your natural color.
Note:
Bleaching damages your hair, it makes your hair stretchy and thin, as bleaching peels away the the outer layer of your hair making it fragile. If it's done in a non-professional matter, your hair may come loose on your comb!
You may want to go to a salon to remove the black dye from your hair. They will not only be able to use professional strength bleaches and color removers, but they also will be able to treat and condition your hair after the harsh process of bleaching.
There are also products that are designed to remove hair color. Some of these products include Color Fix and Color Zap. Make sure that you read the instructions on these products carefully before you use them.
Color Fix is designed to remove unwanted permanent hair color. Controlled usage allows color correction to specific areas - either full or slight color corrections.
Loreal Color Zap gently washes away all permanent hair color. It is ideal for color correction, removal of dark shades, muddy, uneven results or color build up. Color Zap leaves hair ready for immediate re-coloring.
