Blonde Ambition

You may be wondering how to achieve the perfect blonde hair color. There are a variety of ways you can get your blonde hair color, including highlights, ombré, balayage and full head dye jobs. These methods all have different benefits and drawbacks depending on your hair type and lifestyle.

If you want to go all out with this bright look but don’t want to commit to it forever (or even for very long), consider highlights or lowlights instead of dyeing your entire head. Highlights will give the same dramatic effect without requiring as much maintenance as full-head bleaching would—so if you’re looking for something that’s less intense but still fun (and maybe even more flattering than going from dark brown to platinum), go ahead and try them out! If all else fails though…

Know Your Types

  • Know your hair type. Before you start coloring or bleaching your hair, it’s important to understand the condition of your strands. The best way to do this is by looking at the color and consistency of your own locks. If you have fine hair that’s colored with golden blonde highlights, then you’re likely an A-type. If on the other hand, your locks are thick and dark but prone to frizziness (and even split ends), then odds are high that B+ is exactly what you need in order for all that volume not only stay put but also look its best.
  • Know how bleach works on different types of strands. On one end of the spectrum lies Type A—this group contains people who want their bleaching/coloring job done quickly without any fussing around; these people prefer quick results and minimal damage as much as possible while still maintaining their desired look. On the other extreme lies Type B+—these folks aren’t afraid of damaging their precious locks so long as they get something substantial out of this whole process in return; they’ll go through hell and back just so long as they can look good doing it!

Thicker is Better

If you have thick hair, you may be a little more at ease when deciding to go through with the bleach. Thick strands are typically made up of thicker layers and therefore have more room to absorb the chemicals of a bleaching process. Additionally, your natural protective layer (the cuticle) will be thicker and able to prevent some damage from occurring as well. This means that even if your hair does get damaged by bleach, it won’t be as fragile or dry after coloring as someone with thinner strands would find themselves after coloring their hair.

The downside is that thicker pieces can also lose moisture more quickly because there’s simply less room for it within each individual strand. This is especially true if you’re using an ammonia-based developer formula rather than one with peroxide only which tends not only to cause greater damage but also requires more frequent use since its effects will wear off quicker before they should!

Choose Your Bleach Brand

You’ve probably heard that using the wrong kind of bleach can damage your hair. But what does this mean?

First off, you should be sure to choose a product that is specially made for bleaching. Most of the time, these products are found in beauty supply stores or salons, but if you don’t have access to one nearby, Amazon carries some great options!

Protect Your ‘Do

It’s important to protect your hair from damage. To do this, you can try some of these simple tips:

  • Use a hair mask or conditioner. This will help moisturize and strengthen your strands while they’re being colored.
  • Use a heat protectant before styling with hot tools like curling irons or blow dryers. This will prevent further damage by protecting the cuticle layer of your hair against excessive heat exposure.
  • Try using leave-in conditioner instead of shampooing every time you wash your locks (or at least every other day). This will add extra moisture and make it easier to comb through tangles without any pulling on the scalp or breakage happening behind the scenes!
  • If all else fails, come back after three months have passed since that last dye job and see if it doesn’t still look just as good as ever before–that’s what happened for me when I tried out my latest shade idea!

You should test your bleach on a strand of hair before using it on your whole head.

You should test your bleach on a strand of hair before using it on your whole head. If you’re still worried about doing this yourself, get a professional to do it for you.

You can also do a home test with a strand of hair: when bleaching, mix the developer and bleach according to instructions (usually 1 part bleach to 3 parts developer) and apply the mixture to half an inch of hair from underneath in an area that won’t be seen (like near the nape). After five minutes, rinse off under warm water until there is no more color running off into the sink or bathtub. If there is any dye left over after rinsing, leave it in until all dye has been removed from your skin or clothing
