We know that curly locks require exclusive washing, treatment, and finishing rituals. The good news is that, just like straight hair, curly hair can turn into light blonde in a healthy way.

Information is never too much when it comes to self-care. To help you achieve the look you want, we have put this post together with best practices. Enjoy the reading!

There are many options to dying the locks. Some like to perform the so-called global discoloration, which removes pigments from all hair. To get to the color that goes towards a gray or a white shade, you need to bleach some strands.

Regardless of the option chosen, it is essential to do it with the help of a professional. In addition to melanin loss, the mixture applied also takes away part of the lipids from the hair fiber. The bleaching agent opens the cuticles, making the strands more sensitive.

As a result, new platinum blondes tend to experience dryness. Considering that curly locks already tend to suffer from the same problem, it is important to pay attention to all phases of the capillary schedule. This hair care routine includes hydration, nutrition, and reconstruction.

Incorrect bleaching can result in breakage, hair loss and split ends. So, if you want curly bleached hair, you need to invest in high-quality products and procedures to keep your locks in good shape.

Silver curly hair needs formulas that restore water and nutrients lost during bleaching. This replacement must be frequent and can be done with different products. It is also necessary to think of ways to preserve the platinum tone. Check out examples of shampoos and other products.

The beautiful white or gray tone can fade over time and turn yellow or orange. Exposure to the sun and heat-based styling tools, such as dryers and flat irons, promote oxidation on the strands. It is this chemical reaction that leaves the locks with brassiness.

You should try shampoos and conditioners with antioxidant properties and blue or purple pigmentation to avoid losing the desired tone and neutralize unwanted brassiness. Also, those products help seal the hair cuticles, reducing the impacts of radiation and pollutants.

MOISTURIZERS THAT REGULATE PH

Nourishing, reconstructing, and deep conditioning can be easily accomplished in the shower. Ideally, these masks should have a pH between three and four to seal the cuticles opened during the bleaching process. 

Another step that closes hair cuticles is showering with cold water. So, whenever you rinse the locks, reduce the shower temperature to promote the reconstruction of the strands. You will gradually notice the recovery of shine and softness that gives movement to curly silver hair.

STYLING AND PROTECTION OF HAIR PRODUCTS

Silver curly products complement hygiene and make the locks easier to handle. The goal is to protect them while blow-drying, combing, or trying different hairstyles.

Silver curly hair also requires constant attention after washing. Extra attention to hair ends is needed to prevent breakage and dryness. If you want to use a heat-based styling tool, use a thermal protector beforehand. It is also recommended to apply oils and leave-in products that promote better sliding and division of the locks.

We have already made it clear that the capillary schedule is your hair's main ally. With a wide variety of products, it has become increasingly easier to carry out this routine at home. In addition to looking for formulas suitable for your hair type, try to take the following precautions.

AVOID WASHING YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY.

Wavy and curly hair tends to get drier, so they do not react well to excessive cleaning—alternate washing your hair with dry shampoo to avoid the frequent removal of nutrients. If you need to wash it every day, prefer lighter products that do not have such a high residue removal — in general, they are known for transparent formulas.

STAY AWAY FROM SALT AND CHLORINE.

It is hard to decline an invitation to a swimming pool or the beach, especially on the hottest days. The problem is that the salt or chlorine in the water can accelerate oxidation and drying. Prolonged contact with humidity and heat decreases shine. If you have just colored the strands white or gray, stay out of the water. Another option is to apply protective fluids that form a layer and reduce adverse effects.

BE PATIENT

Those who dream of silver curly hair should not hurry to achieve the desired color. Depending on the natural tone and thickness of the strands, two or more bleaching sessions may be necessary. The pause between one application and another is crucial to avoid chemical cuts.

While waiting for the time between bleaches, nourish, hydrate, and reconstruct the locks — and learn about the importance of keratin. It contains amino acids that protect the hair against chemicals, increasing resistance and preventing damage.

Are you ready to renew your look without worries? Our final tip is to research professionals specializing in silver curly hair. This way, it will be much easier to conduct the color maintenance procedures.
