Summer Sun-Bleached Hair Care. Going to be in the sun this Summer?
Sun lightened, high lighted, Colored, and NATURAL HAIR (no hair? Wear sun screen!)
If you are going to be in the sun, and bleaching your hair out, from any color…it can be from a natural dark blond to an already chemically treated or naturally dark hair color… then you will need to go the extra mile in conditioning and looking after your hair! If you are “Super Bleaching your Hair” or even slightly highlighting it, then you know the way it feels.
You know that your hair has a completely different texture to it than it ever did before. (In addition…With every touch up, and re- lightening, or bleaching…)
“Your hair has a completely different texture to it than it ever did before!”
With every 4 to six weeks (or even a few times a year) of bleaching, lightening or highlighting your hair it is becoming harder to manage.á (this could even be naturally sun-bleached hair, or “chlorine bleached hair from swimming”)
Super bleached hair to mildly bleached hair, whether it is done once or repeatedly will absolutely change its texture with every bleach out…bleaching will change the hair’s natural elasticity and it will change in “appearance” I don’t mean just as in appearance by the change of hair color, I mean in appearance condition, shine etc.
Before you can fix or manage a problem…
We need to get to the root of the problem... no pun intended…
Here is what happens when you bleach hair;
You are breaking down the hair structure, and its natural composition…The bleach needs to open the outermost layer of the hair which is called the cuticle and then the bleach needs to work its way into the cortex layer of the hair where your present color is “stored” so to speak…bleach opens up the cuticle layer like a piece of cake!
If the scientific answer to hair chemistry or on how hair, actually does lighten, or change color does not interest you… skip this part… or come back to it lateráá 
Once the bleach is inside the cortex layer of the hair, it needs to break down the hair color molecules...
there are only 3 colors that all of our hair color is made of… and those are; Red, Yellow and Blue…more on another upcoming post…it is cool how this is true for hair colors or colors…period…
An easy way to understand hair color is this;
Natural red hair has majority of red molecules, next a few yellow molecules, and lastly very little… (*like next to no blue (absent of blue) color molecules.)
Regardless of the color of your hair, the colors in your hair are made up of colors, which consist of three primary colors.
Another good example would be black hair. Black Hair Consist of mostly blue, lots of red, and very little, if any yellow. All depends on how black, or dark…I think you get it…
Blond hair consists of a lot of yellow pigment, very little red, and almost no blue…
No matter what color your hair is right now, with the exception of extremely bleached blond hair, or “super bleached hair” …the hair and hair color did have all of these color molecules in them…if your natural color at the “root” is any darker or differentáfrom the bleached area, then the regrowth, consists of the above hair color pigments.
