Can tints lighten hair? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

If you’re looking to lighten your hair previously coloured hair, there are several options beyond tinting:

• Bleach – Bleach is the obvious and sole choice, however it can be utilised in different ways dependent upon what you seek to achieve, your hairs condition, your budget and anticipated frequency of appointment. For example for an overall softer and more subtle lift, bleach baths are both a gentle and effective solution for removing colour buildup enabling your stylist to revisit with the application of a slightly lighter shade. Bleach in its simplest form removes pigment (colour) and all your Stylist is doing is controlling the strength and level at which the bleach is being utilised.
• High-lift tints – High-lift tints are a stronger version of permanent colour designed to lift natural hair by up to four levels. They are a good option for clients with virgin hair who want a lighter result without full bleaching. However, they are not suitable for previously coloured hair as per any form of tint.
• Balayage or highlights – Whilst neither will lighten every strand of hair, highlights are sometimes used to gradually lighten hair with the expectation of more than one appointment required to achieve more radical results.
