This can cause the highlight to fade faster. Washing highlights the day after only strips the hair, meaning all the beautiful colours will go down the drain literally. By waiting for up to 72 hours before washing, you will give the hair cuticles time to close.
The overlap could cause a funky color spot, or potential breakage. The potential of leaving the bleach on too long could also create a problem for your toning approach. The color you want to see before you remove the foils to rinse is yellow. After the bleach has been thoroughly rinsed out, you'll apply your toner. After any color treatment or chemical treatment that heightens the hair's porosity levels, you want to be sure you're upping the conditioner and getting extra moisture back into the hair.
You'll notice, especially after using bleach, that your hair feels straw-like, brittle, and extremely dried out, so a good conditioning treatment is crucial. Turn to your conditioner after your toner is completely rinsed out and you've shampooed your hair.
That way, you don't have to put yourself at risk of pulling the foils off too late. Blue conditioners will help neutralize the warmth if your hair pulls more orange or yellow. Otherwise, any deep conditioning treatment will work. You don't want to skip this step!
It'll add a boost of shine and softness to your strands that will help you feel like you just left the salon. Keep up this treatment until you lose that straw-like feeling when shampooing. Now it's time to see your best efforts in action. Blow dry around the hairline and parting first, even if you didn't do a bleach-and-tone. Once you're percent dry, grab a round brush or flat brush to help you smooth out the hair. Using a smoothing nozzle or concentrator will also help you get the hair to a place where you can see things clearly.
If you notice any trouble areas, get your hair fully dried and smoothed out before contacting your colorist in a panic. You'll want to provide another photo in good natural lighting and the blow dry will help display things clearly. Worst case scenario, you'll be back to square one, waiting for a pro, only this time it will be for a color correction. But if you're extremely cautious and vigilant in following the steps above, you might just pass with flying color. Thank you [email] for signing up.

Make sure you use a shampoo specifically for color-treated hair to protect your highlights, and try to use a purple shampoo once a month to neutralize brassiness. Hot water can turn your highlights yellow or orange, so wash with cold water to protect your color. Highlighting, and therefore lifting pigment from your hair, will dry it out. To prevent breakage, use a deep conditioner once a week, and don't over do it on the hot appliances. Some people rush to the salon every six weeks like clockwork, or every time a root peeps its dark head out, but going too often can result in your color looking too over-processed — not to mention it's damaging to your hair and expensive!
Try waiting a little longer between salon visits, maybe eight weeks, twelve, or longer if you can. If you can embrace a little natural grow out, it'll save money, time, and keep your hair looking more natural. By Sienna Fantozzi. Here are the 9 most common mistakes people make when highlighting their hair. Going bleach blonde, right away.
