The desired effect is that of a sort of horizontal highlight , with several color variations (some have even tried neon blue!). This trend can give a very stylish effect, but it's not without consequences for the quality and health of your hair.

 

Why does it damage hair?

Tie and Dye is intended to brighten part of the scalp, but it actually damages the fiber hair because it necessarily contains chemicals that, in the short or long term, will deteriorate hair quality by opening the scales (a necessary operation for bleaching) and injecting an coloring artificial.

As a result, the products generally used for this type of technique are the most most concentrated in chemical substances and their intensity.Hair becomes dry and brittleespecially if they are then exposed to appliances such as the hair dryer or straighteners, which make the hair even drier tips.

Frequent use of the hair dryer at high temperatures can exacerbate the effects of Tie and Dye. The intense heat eliminates the hair's natural moisture and protective oils, leaving the fiber capillary vulnerable and more prone to breakage and tips split ends. By constantly exposing your hair to high temperatures, you risk making it even more fragile, especially if your hair is already dry or damaged by other chemical treatments.

 

Tie and Dye, worse than a classic coloring ?

One of the major problems with Tie and Dye is that it artificially colors and damages the part of the hair that is most fragile, driest and most in need of nourishment. the most fragile, the driest, and the one most in need of nourishment.

Tie and Dye is applied from mid-length (or longer) to tips, where hair is driest and most damaged.

It is this part of the scalp that is most sensitized by stress, diet and time, and most in need of nourishment (with moisturizers such as balms, conditioners, etc.). conditioners etc.) to preserve the fiber capillary and avoid the effects of dryness.

 

The risk of the failed Tie and Dye
