Are you unsure if you can straighten blonde hair?
Those who want to adopt a new look often choose to have a chemical procedure done on their hair to make this change last longer.
There are many different types of techniques that can be performed, depending on your goal. However, two of the most common are straightening and bleaching the hair.
Many people choose to do both, but this combination requires care to maintain the health and integrity of the strands.
So here are the best tips on how to straighten blonde hair safely.
We hope to help you decide on this choice, without forgetting to consider the pros and cons of this decision. So check this out!
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO FIRST: STRAIGHTEN OR MAKE MY HAIR BLONDE?
It is important to always check the health of the hair before each application. If your hair is healthy, you can dye it right after straightening. In order: straightening >> coloring. If the hair is not healthy, do a reconstruction (or hair chronogram) and after a 15-day break, do the coloring.
In case of discoloration, it is advisable to do it 15 days before straightening. After discoloration it is necessary to do a treatment (hair chronogram) to balance the pH of the hair shaft.
However, it is worth understanding how each of these chemical processes acts on the hair to make a safe decision.
You may be surprised at how brittle the strands are, or how elastic they become due to post-chemical fragility, be it coloring, straightening, or bleaching.
To avoid this reaction or even a chemical cut, it is essential to use products with compatible ingredients that protect the health of the hair fiber as much as possible.

In addition, it is important to always look for a good professional to carry out your transformation safely.
WHAT HAPPENS TO BLOND HAIR AFTER THE CHEMICAL?
Blonde hair tends to be more sensitized after being bleached, and some people straighten it afterwards to try to ensure a silkier look to their strands.
The bleaching powder not only removes the pigments from the hair, but also the proteins, nutrients, vitamins, keratin, everything in the hair. Performing the hair straightening procedure, regardless of color, is not a problem after bleaching, since there are nourishing, reconstructive, and strengthening products for the hair strands that can restore what has been removed. As is the case with theProtein Blond Expert straight ening process, which is an organic straightening process with hue, suitable for blond and discolored hair, because besides straightening it also balances the pH of the hair and neutralizes unwanted yellows.
It is worth remembering that it is essential to perform a treatment in the salon on the same day as the discoloration process to begin the process of recuperating the hair fiber. Since, as the two chemicals are retouched without proper care, the tendency is to sensitize the strand more and more.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMBINE STRAIGHTENING AND PERMING HAIR?
Many professionals do not recommend mixing two types of chemicals in hair because of the limitations this can cause. But by choosing a specific line of products to perform a deep treatment on your brittle hair, such as the one we have in our online store, it is possible to maintain the spectacular salon result at home.
In addition, you can always visit a trusted beauty salon to perform these procedures.
A good professional will work with quality products and perform a strand test to ensure that your hair will withstand the entire process. In addition, he will guide you on the ideal frequency for maintenance and essential care to keep the result beautiful and healthy at home after the change.
To meet the needs of chemically treated hair, it is essential to use a treatment line specifically designed to strengthen and repair the fiber. A good option for daily care are products that contain proteins, lipids, vitamins A, B and E, minerals, ceramides and Intracylane, a substance that fills in the damaged areas of the fiber.
The result is softer, more mirror-like, manageable, stronger, and more resistant hair. Finally, healthy hair on the inside and radiant hair on the outside.
Daily, you can use a good shampoo and a good mask to combine gentle but effective cleansing with the power of intensive hair care. After your shower, finish with a thermal protection cream, which will help you seal nutrients into the fiber to prolong the durability of the results.
In addition, the styling cream offers heat protection for those who want to finish their hair with a blow dryer afterwards, but the ideal is to avoid the use of heat sources as much as possible. Because your hair will be more sensitive due to the chemical, use this equipment only on special occasions.
