Värvitõstjad

Värvitõstjad, also known as color lifters or bleach washes, are a type of hair product designed to remove or lighten existing hair dye. They work by breaking down the artificial color molecules within the hair shaft, allowing them to be rinsed out. This process is often used by individuals who wish to change their hair color, remove a previously applied dye, or prepare their hair for a lighter shade.

The effectiveness of a värvitõstja depends on several factors, including the type of dye being removed (permanent vs. semi-permanent), the porosity of the hair, and the strength of the product. These products typically contain alkaline agents that open the hair cuticle, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate and lift the color. Some formulations may also contain oxidizing agents.

It is important to note that värvitõstjad can be harsh on the hair and may cause dryness, breakage, or increased porosity if not used correctly. Professional application is often recommended, especially for extensive color removal or when dealing with very damaged hair. After using a värvitõstja, it is crucial to follow up with deep conditioning treatments to restore moisture and strength to the hair. They are not intended for lightening natural, undyed hair.
