Hair bleaching tips

For a safe and correct application, dermatologist Angélica Seidel clarified the main doubts on the subject. Consider the information when carrying out the procedure:

Women’s Tips – Are there any risks or contraindications for discoloring hair?

Angelica Seidel – Yes. The main one is allergy to the product or procedure, with the appearance of itching and redness. There may also be dryness of the skin and hair at the site of application and spots, if care is not taken with exposure to the sun. In addition, atopic patients with asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis may be more susceptible to irritation from the product. As for contraindications, it is important to avoid using the product in children and pregnant women.

How to bleach body hair and not burn?

The ideal is to hydrate the skin with creams or oils before application. Do this a few days before the procedure. Also, test the product before applying, noting possible itching or redness. It is also important to avoid application in more sensitive areas of the skin, such as the face, intimate area and places with bruises. Opt for lighter products, such as chamomile base and with lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

Do you have to stay in the sun to bleach your hair?

No, it is not necessary to stay in the sun. It is even important to avoid solar radiation during application, because the sun increases the risk of allergy to the product and can cause blemishes on the skin.

What happens to hair after discoloration?

The process is similar to hair bleaching. The product acts by removing the pigment from the hair shaft. As a result, there may be dryness and loss of hair shine, especially if the skin and the area are not prepared for the procedure, such as hydration.

What care should I take with the skin after hair discoloration?

From the days before the application, keep the skin well hydrated, with creams and oils. In addition to this care, it is important to avoid exposure to solar radiation on the day of application and on subsequent days. Use sunscreen with SPF 30 and UVA protection if you need to expose yourself. In the bath, use liquid soap and avoid hot baths and sponges. If you develop an allergy or spots on your skin with these precautions, consult your dermatologist.

Does whitening interfere with the amount of hair?

Does not interfere. Due to the fact that the fur becomes lighter, there is an impression of lesser density of the threads.

When is the best time to bleach hair?

There is no better time, but the main point is not to expose yourself to the sun. It can be done in the summer, as long as you are careful with solar radiation.

So, did you already know how to discolor hair? In addition to these tips, always remember to moisturize your skin after the procedure and be sure to read the text on homemade waxing .
