Would you like to go from brunette to blond? Your hair has grown out during confinement, time passes slowly and you're dreaming of a change to celebrate summer in a new light. Do you want togive it a try? Great, but this radical change can't be decided on a whim.  

Follow Christophe Nicolas Biot's professional advice.

Is going from brown to blond right for me?

That's a good question to ask yourself....

In principle, this radical change from brunette to blond suits everyone. Man or woman, long or short hair. You just have to be ready to take it on.

However, if you have a beautiful brunette head of hair, chances are the change won't be a happy one. Especially if it's your natural color. However, you can always ask your hairdresser-colorist what he or she thinks.

Preparing your hair

It's essential that your hair is in good health before making this radical change from brown to blonde. What's more, it will also depend on your hair color: is it your natural color, or has it already been colored?

To go from brown to blond, you'll need to go through the bleaching stage. Your hair will be enormously weakened, and even if today's professional products all contain -plex or -bond, the repair stage is essential upstream. Especially if your hair is naturally fine or damaged. You'll need to restore vitality and cleanse your hair.

Call in a professional to go from brunette to blond

We strongly advise you to call in a professional and listen to his or her advice. Going from brunette to blond is a radical transformation that you shouldn't do yourself. There's too much risk of seriously damaging your hair and achieving a disastrous result that will be hard to make up for later.

Only a hairdresser-colorist will know which products to use and how to use them, while preserving your hair fiber as much as possible. The changeover process will depend on your base color and the condition of your hair. He or she may have to proceed in stages, and this can take time, especially as he or she will have to proceed gently to avoid damaging your hair too much.

What's more, this change of look inevitably requires personalized advice on how to maintain the color to avoid it turning yellow or green.

So after bleaching, it's not a good idea to go swimming without protecting your hair. Chlorine will turn your beautiful blond hair green... You'll also need to protect your hair from the sun and the aggression of sea salt, or you'll end up with a very rough head of hair.

Maintenance

Whatever shade of blond you choose, you should know that blond hair requires more maintenance than brunette hair. What's more, the choice of products used is important to preserve the hair fiber and repair hair damaged by bleaching.

With blond hair, roots appear quickly, in about 1 month. While some women like to leave roots visible, others prefer to camouflage them.

To keep your color looking its best, you'll need to take care of it regularly. Ideally, you should visit your hairdresser every 6 weeks or so, and buy the right products.

Christophe Nicolas Biot offers a highly effective product for prolonging beautiful blond hair: Wake Up Color, a no-rinse repigmenting water to maintain color and highlights at their best.
