Does lightening damage hair? Can it be saved?
When lightening, in addition to the color pigment, some of the proteins are also removed from the hair, which are the basic building blocks that make up the hair structure. These proteins ensure the elasticity, strength and healthy appearance of the hair. Without sufficient protein, hair can lose its strength, become brittle and prone to breakage.
The hair structure also contains important chemical bonds, including disulfide bonds. These bonds, formed between sulfur atoms, connect individual keratin chains and provide strength and stability to the hair. During lightening, these bonds are partially disrupted, which can lead to a weakening of the overall hair structure.
Fortunately, there are modern technologies that help minimize damage during the lightening process. One of the newest and most effective methods is the **M-plex** technology from the manufacturer LABEL.M. This innovative system was developed to protect disulfide bonds while restoring the hair structure during the application of the lightener. M-plex ensures that the hair remains strong, healthy and protected even during intensive lightening.
In our hairdressing studio, we use M-plex technology in every lightening technique. This method allows us to achieve the desired light shade without exposing the hair to excessive damage. M-plex is therefore the key to safe and effective lightening, while protecting the health of your hair.
The importance of home care
Thanks to M-plex technology, your hair will be soft, shiny and flexible after lightening. This system ensures that the hair structure is preserved even during lightening, which is reflected in the health and appearance of the hair. However, despite the advanced protection during lightening, aftercare is important. Lightened hair, especially in very light to platinum shades, is still susceptible to damage.
Regular home care is key to achieving long-term health and beauty of bleached hair. We recommend using nourishing masks and hair products that provide deep hydration and restore lost proteins. It is also essential to protect your hair from the harmful effects of heat, both with thermal protection and UV protection. This way, you will prevent further weakening of your hair and keep it in optimal condition.
Investing in quality home care is essential to maintaining the health of your bleached hair, even though M-plex technology protects your hair during the bleaching process. With proper care, your hair will remain soft, shiny and full of life.
