Dye asian hair blonde

I never thought in a million years that I would ever dye my black asian hair blonde. I always danced around the idea of having lighter brunette hair though because mine was so darn dark and I just wanted some movement and dimension through my locks. The blonde phenomenon was happening and I was so with it, so I just decided to go for it. I knew it was going to take a long time for my dark asian hair to reach platinum blonde, so I went in with the mindset of knowing it would take several sessions with my butt in a chair for at least six hours. The only real drag about the whole process was having to wait several weeks between sessions to give my hair a break; also that asian brass hair moment.

By Madelyn Chung March 11, I knew very well what she was talking about. Despite the warning signs all around me, I did end up highlighting my hair and, like my mom said, it turned orange. I was mortified. Flash-forward more than a decade and I still get paranoid about my hair turning that dreaded orange. All of this got me thinking… what is it that makes Asian hair so susceptible to turning orange?

Bleaching hair has become very popular over the years; more and more people are doing it. Some people bleach their hair just because they want to, and this could go wrong because bleaching the hair too many times can be very damaging for the hair. Many people with very dry and damaged hair should never go for a bleach since that can severely damage the hair. This could eventually lead to breakage and maybe even hair loss. So, how do you know your hair type is suitable for bleaching?

The night before my first appointment at Sally Hershberger Downtown, I examined my dark mane closer than I ever have in all my years as an Asian that's a lot of years. The way the small lamp on my nightstand bounced off my crown, creating a half-circle glow that starkly contrasted with my black hair, like a halo above my visage, almost moved me to tears. Was I getting cold feet? Was I being dramatic?
