What is three zero hair color?

Three zero hair color is actually a brightening hair color that prepares the hair to accept the colors that are placed on the hair by making the hair pigments and therefore the hair strands lighter. Three zero hair color can lighten the hair color by 4 to 6 levels depending on the hair type.

It can be said that the three-zero hair color has a function similar to bleaching or hair bleaching, but instead of bleaching, it brightens the hair a few levels and you don’t have to dye your hair again. In fact, the presence of ammonia and more pigments is effective in making hair lighter. Ammonia opens the hair cuticle (the outermost layer of the hair shaft structure) and enters the hair cortex (the main part and the largest volume of hair) and makes your hair color lighter. This hair dyeing method causes less damage to the production of melanin in the hair.

Three Zero hair color is used together with Oxidant 40. Oxidant 40 activates the hair lightening agent and makes your hair brighter. Of course, some hairdressers recommend that if you want your hair color to be brighter and reach the desired lightness, use the three zero hair color twice in a row.

What is the difference between bleaching and lightening hair with three zero hair color?

Before you completely abandon the bleaching and decide to use only three zero hair color, it is better to know the differences between these two hair lighteners:

1. The first and most important difference between these two products is that Declare will lighten your hair color from 3 to 8 degrees, but your hair will lighten up to 5 degrees with the three zero hair color. This means that only people who have dark blonde hair color can change their hair color to light blonde using three zero hair color. If your hair color is dark, for example dark brown, you should use bleach to change it to light blonde.

2. As mentioned, you can use three zero hair dye twice in a row to lighten your hair, but bleaching your hair usually turns your hair orange or red and you have to dye it. In addition, after bleaching, you should dye your hair to achieve the desired color. But after using the three-zero hair color, your hair is not discolored and only becomes a few degrees lighter. So you don’t need to dye your hair.

3. When bleaching your hair, your head will itch and burn most of the time, but three zero hair color does not have this problem.

4. Three zero hair color cannot be used on dyed hair and your hair color must be its natural color. But declaration does not have this limitation.

5. Three-zero hair color is less than bleach, it causes skin sensitivity and damage to your hair. In general, this hair color is better for hair health. Of course, if you do not use this color correctly, your hair will be damaged. Another difference between bleaching and three-zero hair color is that bleaching and then dyeing your hair disrupts the pH and moisture balance of your hair, resulting in dry hair. But the three-zero hair color does less damage to this balance and causes hair dryness less than bleaching.

6. Three zero hair dye has more dechlorine, ammonia and pigment and when using it, twice the volume of hair dye should be used with oxidant 40.

2. Three zero hair color works by lightening one’s hair color, and when your hair is dark, it will lighten your hair by up to a few degrees (up to 5 degrees).

Does three-zero hair color have any side effects?

When it comes to the damage and complications of three-zero hair color, most people think that this type of hair color does not harm the hair in the slightest. But this is a misconception. Because any product that removes hair pigment has actually harmed the hair. It means that you cannot lighten your hair without damaging it. But three zero hair color, as we said before, hurts the hair less than bleach and has fewer side effects such as hair dryness.

How to damage hair

When you bleach or dye your hair, the color comes from a chemical process called oxidation. This reaction negatively affects the melanin pigment, which gives your hair its natural color, and the keratin protein, which makes up the structure of your hair.

The oxidation of melanin causes the hair to lighten and the oxidation of keratin causes the bonds that hold your hair to break down.

Unfortunately, currently no method has been invented that can target only the hair pigment when bleaching or coloring the hair, and for this reason, the hair lightening process itself damages the hair. According to this explanation, we can understand that the damage to the hair is related to the amount of hair lightening, and the lighter you lighten the hair, the more damage you have done to your hair.

So, for example, if you lighten your hair with a three-zero, three-degree color, the amount of damage your hair will see will be almost the same. Because the hair lightening process itself is harmful. Oxidation makes your hair lighter and leaves a side effect.

Hair moisture and pH balance

There is another factor that damages your hair when bleaching and coloring your hair, and that is the disturbance in the pH value and moisture of the hair. When the hair moisture is reduced, your hair becomes dry and the hair structure becomes weak and very fragile. Of course, fortunately, the three-zero hair color is much less damaging to your hair than the bleaching.

On the other hand, when you lighten your hair with three zero hair color, you don’t need to dye it anymore. Your hair will become a few degrees (up to 5 degrees) lighter. But with bleaching, the hair becomes white and ready to be dyed. This step further damages your hair. So if you don’t want your hair to be too light, use three zero hair color instead of bleach.
