View Full Version : Preparing for highlights and or color stripping Blueglass August 9th, 2008, 05:49 PM I need to have a partical color correction, and it will include highlights and or stripping. I plan on getting coconut oil, deep conditioner, white vinger, and maybe a reconstuctor at Sally's. How and when should I use these? I need advise. ktani August 23rd, 2008, 10:12 AM Blueglass In this thread I propose a possible natural way to protect the hair from the damage of conventional peroxide and bleach - with research links provided. http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=10495 Blueglass August 23rd, 2008, 10:26 AM A bit late, but I have made note of it for next time. It turns out I only need a few highlights to fix the gold henna issue, as I still had a very light base. The new siggy is somewhat darken to show my hair better against the light top. I don't want to pretreat with Camomile just because I want my touchups to be as cool toned as possible. Does Cardamon add color? ktani August 23rd, 2008, 10:31 AM A bit late, but I have made note of it for next time.

However, with conventional colour put on top of it, I do not think that the result would be very gold. None of the honey lightening recipe ingredients, including honey and cinnamon has been reported to add colour to the hair. Cardamom can be an irritant, like cinnamon, so please patch test and I suggest using a bit of one of the oils with it. I would add cardamom to distilled water and then add the oil. Cardamom has been reported to easily wash out of hair. You could let the cardamom soak in water in advance - then strain before adding the oil. The colour or bleach goes on top of this - the cardamon solution is not rinsed out first. If you add cardamom to boiled, water you could destroy the natural peroxide it produces, which is not as much as a honey can produce but cardamom has the highest peroxide level of the spices listed here. http://books.google.ca/books?id=KZa8aPxR_-wC&pg=PA322&lpg=PA322&dq=cinnamon+pov&source=web&ots=pjIeAfr5-Z&sig=OMZG-eBpqhAP5xevko2Ot2tkeW4&hl=en#PPA321,M1 |
