While people get attracted to coloring their hair and making that style statement to keep with the times.
The problem comes in when they want to remove the color or the highlights due to various reasons, which could include :
... More reasons can be added to the list.
Well, importantly, no matter what the reason maybe, one has to first
realize that they have already tormented their hair with highlights and
color in the first place. All kinds of hair color are chemical based,
and some have even more harsh chemical ingredients. And then going in
to remove the highlights implies exposing the hair to further chemical
torture. The result is almost always, damaged hair.
So to speak, the process of removing the color is termed as
stripping the hair. With this process the hair is pre-lightened or
bleached. This means harsh chemical treatment with extra use of
hydrogen peroxide. The problem is that once this is done one cannot
leave their hair as it is, as the hair is devoid of any color and
appears straw-like.
And so one has to deposit another color on the stripped hair. This
maybe their natural shade or any other color they want. However, one
has to note that even if they apply their natural shade the hair will
still appear shaded, as strands that are stripped would look lighter
than the rest of the hair.
