Lightening the hair is usually a preparatory process for the application of a single-action, penetrating tint or toner.

A lightening product is used to lighten the hair to the desired shade.

Professional hair color lighteners were created with a basic purpose in mind. The actual goal? To lift dark hair to light by diffusing natural melanin present in the hair's cortex.

A good hair color expert will not promise their clients that they can lighten black or dark brown hair to the lightest platinum or white. This is because the underlying pigment may not make it possible.

Some hair color artists may, in some cases be able to take very dark hair to a much lighter color. However, this process may require more than one application of lighteners to achieve appropriate color removal.

When done carefully an expert colorist can minimize hair damage and achieve a superior lightness. The key word is carefully.

My own Dallas hair colorist, Rose Zuniga will not agree to color hair beyond a certain darkness to light blonde because she believe the hair will become extremely damaged in the process due to the level of lightening and chemical required.

If you own professional hair colorist advises you against going too light due to potential damage, appreciate their willingness to look out for the long term health of your hair.

Professional hair colorists use hair lighteners in a variety of forms.

In essence there are different types of hair lighteners designed to achieve certain hair coloring goals. If you're using pre-formulated box colors you will not need to worry about hair lighteners. If you are a professional hair colorist it would be helpful to know the lightening options.
