| Some permanent hair color has chemical agents that will lift your current color and deposit a lighter shade. However, if you want to go more than 3 shades lighter, the hair would have to be lightened with bleach and then the desired color is applied. Hairstylists will now do a single process without bleaching the hair. An experienced stylist can use a higher strength developer with the selected color and then place their clients under the hair dryer to achieve results. I do not recommend using a bleaching cap, it will ruin the hair. It's best to go to the salon if you intend to go lighter. |
