    Following this, will allow your highlights to immediately start the lightening process. Otherwise the bleach will have to first work through product/mineral buildup and dirt/oils, before it can begin to lighten your hair.

    *For an on scalp bleaching appointment (Platinum Retouch) do not wash your hair the same day of your appointment.

  • For blonde highlights it is important to maintain this result every 3/4 months. Waiting longer than this will result in too much natural dimension, which means that it will take multiple sessions to achieve your ultimate bright blonde goal.

    For bronde highlights it is okay to go longer between sessions since your overall look is still considered brunette, therefore too much dimension is typically not a problem.

  • Most people think oils are the answer. When in fact they are not. Oil and water are not soluble. This means that oil is actually preventing your hair from receiving hydration.

    You should be using a humectant to hydrate your hair. A humectant brings outside moisture to your hair, resulting in healthy hydrated hair. A perfect humectant would be what we call a DAILY MOISTURIZER. This is a cream like product that you would use every day on your mids/ends on dry hair. The key is to use this everyday (it will not make your hair greasy)

  • Bleaching hair breaks down the hydrogen, disulfide and salt bonds of the hair. Over processing the hair too much in one session can remove too many of these bonds which would result in breakage.
