Lightening and stripping
A client comes to you asking to lighten their hair color? Or to have a highlighted effect? All hairdressing professionals must know the fundamental difference between hair lightening and color stripping in hairdressing. Discover all the useful information to know as well as our selection of products here!
What is hair lightening?
There are two ways to lighten hair:
- artificially, using a chemical process and various hairdressing techniques
- naturally, thanks to natural factors (sun, sea, etc.)
Lightening is therefore ideal for people who want a lighter color than their natural hair. To achieve this, you have various lightening shampoos up to 1 tone.
What is hair color stripping?
Color stripping is also called "color removal" or "cleansing" in hair jargon. It consists of removing artificial pigments from oxidation colorations, erasing a reflection, or removing excess color. The goal? To lighten hair or its color by a few tones.
Color stripping is therefore a method of lightening artificial dyes.
