Hair lightening Supra at home

Becoming a blonde 👩‍🦳 thanks to the supra as easy as shelling pears. ✅ The powder is also used to mask 🗻 gray hair and correct the results 👩‍🦰 of unsuccessful staining.

What is Hair Supra?

Supra is one of the types of dyes that come in the form of a powder. The name "Supra" appeared and stuck among the people back in the days of the USSR, when the first imported dyes began to reach the population, at first the only powder called "Supra" from the Londa brand was available from bleaching powders for hair.

Thus, the word "Supra" stuck to all powders for bleaching hair, although that old drug with this name has long been gone ... But in the wake of the popularity of this name, some little-known manufacturers continue to use it.

The drug consists of a mixture of natural and synthetic components. The first group of substances consists of colorless henna, the second - ammonium carbonate (classical ammonia). To activate the hair lightening reaction, special persulfates are used.

Particular attention should be paid to the concept supra. The cosmetic product contains substances that soften the destructive effect of reagents on the hair. The substance includes silicon salts, polysaccharides, amino acids and active agents of a biological type, which are generated from the seed of Indian acacia.

In professional beauty salons, specialists always warn their clients about possible deterioration in the condition of the curls. The thing is that Supra and hydrogen peroxide simply wash out the coloring pigment from the hair.

Thus, the absence of melanin makes the curls drier and more brittle. To minimize damage to the strands, you must strictly adhere to the instructions.

In most cases, cosmetic powder is used to transform the color of the hairstyle into a lighter shade from 3 to 7 tones. It all depends on the amount of time for which the composition will be applied to the hair. The functional substance helps to hide gray hair and to wash off the paint qualitatively after an unsuccessful experiment.

How to lighten Supra hair?

Before using any cosmetic substance, you must carefully study its instructions for use. Compliance with the basic rules will allow you to avoid additional complications and carry out all the procedures for lightening Supra hair at home. It is also helpful to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of lightening different hair types.

So what is the main algorithm for lightening curls? Consider lightening or bleaching hair supra in stages:

1. The clarifying powder is mixed with an oxidizing agent in a non-metallic container. Blondes should use 3% substance, and brunettes should use 6-12%;
2. Put on tight gloves and use a brush;
3. Gently apply the coloring agent to dry hair (preferably unwashed);
4. Supra bleach is applied to the hair from the tips to the roots;
5. Strictly adhere to the indicated time interval for the procedure;
6. To accelerate the effect, the bouclie is placed under a hood and heated with a hairdryer;
7. Supra is washed off with a stream of warm water and a mild shampoo;
8. Apply a nourishing mask evenly (no more than 15 minutes);
9. Rinse off the mixture and let your head dry naturally.

Compound

Due to its powdery consistency, supra is often called white henna, but this "natural" name should not mislead you - the drug effectively lightens the hair, but does not spare it at all.

The clarifier consists of two components: ammonium carbonate and herbal supplements.

Alkaline components etch the coloring pigment from the strands, and plant components make this process softer. Such a tool is quite cheap, it works effectively, but the resulting color is rather technical - it contains unwanted yellowness and needs additional toning.

Depending on the composition of the supra and the original hair color, the resulting shade can be reddish (especially when the hair, naturally dark, is dyed black), as well as yellow or ash-white.

Kinds

There are two types of white henna:

1. handicraft - has a fairly low cost, about 50 rubles, is sold in the cosmetic departments of supermarkets and hardware stores;
2. professional - it costs much more, from 200 to 2000 rubles, the final cost depends on the concentration of the oxidizing agent, the presence of softening components and the manufacturer's brand.

Let us dwell in more detail on the mechanism of action of the supra. The main synthetic component of the substance is ammonia; to accelerate the reaction with the hair shaft, additives - persulfates can be added to the composition. The reaction is triggered by combining supra with hydrogen peroxide or stronger oxygenates, which are usually offered in a concentration of 6 to 12%.

In professional formulations, these components are included in one set, in handicraft ones - two different, in this case, their preliminary connection is required.

The artisanal preparation does not contain any emollients, but silicon salts, dietary supplements obtained from Indian acacia seeds and some types of saccharides and amino acids that protect hair from chemical damage are introduced into the composition of professional white henna.

Under the influence of supra and peroxide, melanin, the main coloring pigment, is washed out of the hair, which is why, after dyeing, the curls become lighter, but at the same time dry and brittle.

Dye of this type can cause serious damage to hair, so it is very important to follow all instructions exactly, and after completing the manipulations to change the color, start restorative care procedures as soon as possible.

Pros and cons

The main benefits of white henna:

1. the possibility of lightening at home;
2. quick results;
3. the ability to bleach strands up to 7 tones;
4. wide price segment.

Of the shortcomings, only one can be noted - the supra has a traumatic effect on the hair, therefore, it is better for women with thin and naturally brittle curls, as well as owners of weak, depleted strands after frequent dyeing and perm, to give preference to other coloring methods.

However, in fairness, we note that when choosing a quality product, as well as following the instructions for use, it is still safe to lighten up safely even on your own at home.

Methods for using supra

Supra or white henna is a separate type of hair dye. It is in the form of a powder, which includes a set of certain synthetic and natural components. The main active ingredients are colorless henna and ammonium carbon; persulfates are also contained in the powder (they accelerate the reaction between dye and hair). The tool is mainly used to lighten curls.

How safe is white henna for hair? Insofar as, since the composition of the supra includes ammonium carbonate - in other words, ordinary ammonia.

1. Also, supra can be produced in the form of an activator cream. The cream is used in conjunction with other clarifiers - these can be concentrated oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Activator cream is a strong (but rather aggressive) clarifier; it is also suitable for “washing off” paint. That is, with its help, you can eliminate the results of unsuccessful staining.
2. Supra activator cream is used only with other clarifiers. This is a pretty aggressive remedy.
3. The last view is the supra concept. This formula contains special substances that soften the effect of chemicals.

It cannot be said that the concept is completely harmless, but it has a rather gentle effect on the hair.

Supra-Concept is the lightest version of the clarifier. It is not harmless to the hair, but it is relatively mild.

How does hair lightener work? Under the influence of supra and hydrogen peroxide, melanin, the main coloring pigment, is washed out of the hair. That is why, after dyeing, the strands not only acquire the desired shade, but also become thinner, light, dry, brittle. Since the paint will damage the strands, follow the instructions carefully. It is impossible to overexpose the composition - this is fraught with very unpleasant consequences.

How many tones can you lighten the color

1. Supra is used for lightening by 3-7 tones. Depending on the dyeing time, the shade can turn out to be ash-white, yellowish or red (a red tint appears when dark hair is bleached).
2. Supra allows you to lighten curls by 3-7 tones. The dyeing result may vary depending on the original hair tone.

Care after discoloration

Supra is a fairly strong tool that makes hair brittle and weak, strands often begin to fall out, and the ends flake, which generally makes the hair look dull and lifeless. After bleaching, be sure to use a balm and conditioners designed to care for loose strands. For combing, it is best to use a brush or a wide-toothed comb.

Wet strands, in general, do not need to be combed - in a wet state they are very vulnerable and pull out quite easily, so wait until it dries completely.

Completely exclude the use of a hair dryer, as well as irons and hairs - they only worsen the already painful condition of the hair. If there is no alternative, do not forget to use thermal protective drugs. To restore healthy shine and shine to your hair as soon as possible, you should use treatment masks. They can be purchased in specialized stores, or you can use folk remedies.

By the way, it is not at all necessary to make complex mixtures, you can use mono-recipes. Products such as honey, olive or burdock oil, avocado, egg yolk, banana and cream are highly effective.

It's pretty easy to make masks out of them. Let's look at some simple recipes.

1. Melt five tablespoons of honey in a water bath and mix with 20 ml of burdock oil, add 1 egg yolk, mix everything and apply to the hair. For greater efficiency, the hair is additionally wrapped with a warming cap. The mask is left on the hair for 25-30 minutes, after which it is washed off with a detergent and a balm is applied.
2. Mix burdock, castor and olive oils in equal proportions, heat the mixture and spread it warmly on hair from roots to ends. The duration of the action is not limited by anything; if desired, the mask can be left on the head even overnight under a plastic cap.
3. The crushed ripe pulp of one avocado is combined with 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. The fruit should be ripe, it is very easy to check - you just need to press on the peel, and if a dent forms, you can safely use it for cosmetic procedures.

Supra is a very effective remedy, but its use requires special care when applying and caring for curls after bleaching. Try not to overuse white henna.
