When using only half as much peroxide as described above, you are only using what is needed to allow the color to grab onto the cortex, because the cuticle that was not dissolved by the relaxer is more porous than the peroxide would ever render it, plus about 30 percent or more of the cuticle is gone. Never use any form of bleach on relaxed hair because it will deteriorate already weakened hair from the relaxer.
The same holds true for permanently waved hair. If you want a lighter color on dark hair, try using color that is two or three shades lighter than the shade you want. Note: To color virgin unprocessed hair, the process will take longer because natural Afro hair has twice as many overlapping cuticles in any given area of the hair shaft. It takes longer for color to penetrate those additional cuticle layers. The reason that people believe that perms, relaxers, and hair colors help to grow the hair is because in such services there is a very clear and defined line of demarcation when the new growth appears.
They can now actually see the new natural growth as distinguished from the treated hair. However, if they measure the length of the hair, they will discover that the hair is the same length or shorter than before.
Chemical services such as those mentioned above actually weaken hair, not make it stronger, so hair growth is not one of their advantages.
If they did aid in promoting and stimulating hair growth, then the manufacturers would proudly say so in their advertising. Lloneau attended the institute as both a student and instructor.

Had I been on my own assuming I hadn't passed out from bleach fumes , I have no doubt that I would have taken it too far with the bleach.
After all, my hair wasn't lightening enough and more bleach equals more bright, right? A good colorist will know what percentage peroxide to use and how long to keep it on to ensure your dye adventure doesn't end with tears over your broken hair.
It's worth the money. I'll be honest. When I started, I wanted the ends of my hair to be a perfect fairylike lilac a la Jourdan Dunn in the pic at the top. But Rita helped me realize the importance of baby steps. I prefer taking my time and doing it properly. Maybe it wasn't the hair of my pastel candy-coated dreams, but my hair is healthy and, let's be real, the deeper color is way more me.

Rita stressed the importance of product to me. Though I usually use basically whatever shampoo and conditioner I think I can get away with for my weekly wash, she made it clear that there actually is a cause for all those color-treated hair products you see on drugstore shelves.

If you've previously colored your hair, you'll want to strip that before putting a new one on top to avoid altering the results. If you can, wait a few months to allow new growth to come in, and then use a pre-lightener to remove the color.
This will allow you to re-color the hair off a fresh start. This tip is especially crucial for those looking to go blonde from darker tones; the lighter you go, the more processes and higher developers your colorist will need to use. Many people, but especially women with kinkier hair, have seen the undeniable catastrophe of heat-fried or bleach-gone-bad hair. Whether it's permanently-straightened strands, immediate thinning and shedding, or just the eternal feeling of being dry, brittle strands that have been rushed through the lightening process will show damage, and it can require a lot of work to reverse it.
Rather than attempting to lighten hair dramatically in one fell swoop, Wright suggests starting with a slightly lighter brown shade, and then working up to highlights. Be sure to let the color sit and then graduate up a few levels. When coloring kinkier hair, you need to color it in stages," she advises. Whenever I get my color touched up, I opt for protein treatments and moisturizing masks to restore hydration into my hair.
