Why do they blow dry your hair when you are getting it colored?

Question

does it help lighten it? i'm trying to get the lightest blonde i possible can... how can i do this?

Answer 1

It speeds up the bleaching process. If you are trying to go very light blonde make sure you go to a salon and not do it yourself because you can really screw your hair up with bleach on your own. Just let them know what you want and if they are good they will tell you the healthiest way to do it- it may take a few times before its as blond as you want it. Also don't let them pull the color through all your ends or it will fry them.

Answer 2

If you mean before the coloring - dry hair will absorb the color, while the damp won't. If you mean they put you under a dryer when you have this stuff on your hair - heat speeds up the bleaching. But no, it doesn't make it lighter.

It is best if you do it in a hair salone, especially if you've never had it done before.
