Knot Bleaching, Why Not Just Dye Them Blond?

[Yagami]

Hi,

I was wondering why not just use a color remover, dye the knots in blond and apply a knot sealer? Instead of using a product that will destroy the system if misused!

I might be missing some information but for the moment this seems like a viable solution. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

In order to "dye" blond, you need to STRIP the hair. Most hair that is coming from India is black, or dark brown, anyway. So all you are doing is adding more process on top of more process. You will destroy the hair. When you dye darker, depending on the dye, if there is no ammonia, it can actually thicken and coat the hair, but the results don't always last long.

Thank you. What do you mean by strip the hear?

Hair stripping is to chemicals remove color from hair, leaving it ready for color. When you see dark-complected women (and men) with fried looking bleach blonde hair... it was stripped, and not well. Then died blonde, after.

Ok, understand. Wouldn't that be less harsh than the chemicals in bleach anyway?

Hmm, I don't believe so.

Has anyone had experience with this? I recently purchased a hair system with knots that cannot be bleached. It’s made from real hair, but it has been chemically dyed at the factory, making bleaching impossible.

I was wondering if dyeing the knots with blonde or platinum cream could be an option to better match my skin tone. Has anyone tried this? I know it's a temporary fix, but would it work?

I saw an African woman on youtube with a blonde lace wig who dyed her blonde knots to brown to match her skin tone.
