Shampoozada
Those who dye their hair regularly know that excessive pigmentation at times can damage the hair and even interfere with the final coloring result.
This is because the hair dye opens up the hair fibers in order to promote the change in color.
But all this chemical process, besides altering the color, in some situations can also expose the threads, resulting in serious damage, such as stains in tone, weakening, falling and double ends.
And those who have dyed their hair for a long time know that sometimes changing the color or just correcting it can be a hard process, which involves patience and a lot of care, avoiding further damage to the already weakened hair.
Thus, the shampoozada method can be a great option.
After all, it performs a gentle discoloration, which helps to uniform the hair tone, from a gradual whitening that can reach up to 2 tones.
When is the shampoozada indicated?
The shampoozada is highly suitable for light or platinum hair that has turned green in contact with chlorine or also for those who look for more illuminated or uniform tones and have difficulty to achieve the result due to the pigmentation already existing in the threads.
The application made on red hair also works well and can open the tone a lot, facilitating the transition to other colors.
However, it is important to remember that the threads will not be extremely light, usually the result is between dark blonde or orange and copper tones.
In black and natural hair, the procedure may lighten, but not to the same intensity as other dyes.
In dark hairs, after the method it is common for the hair to get the shade pulled to red or a little more coppery.
And in the dark brown strands you can notice a light whitening, but also without great modifications, so if you really want to light up to blonde tones, look for other alternatives, such as lights or wicks.
However, it is important to stress that shampoozada is a safe and ideal method for color uniformity.
But for the expected effects to occur, it is worth the recommendation to pay attention, following the process and stages of whitening, respecting the stipulated quantities and also the recommended methods.

Shampoozada: How to do it?
Making the shampoozada is very simple, just separate the following ingredients and materials:
- Bleaching powder;
- Oxygenated water (10 volumes for platinum or fragile hair and 20 volumes for the others);
- Common or neutral shampoo;
- Liquid Bepantol (solution);
- 1 container to make the mixture; and
- meter that marks about 1 tablespoon.
To make the recipe, follow the procedure below:
- Use the meter to start the recipe and add the ingredients to the container;
- In the container, place 1 measure of discoloring powder;
- Then add two measures of hydrogen peroxide, with the volume following the need of your threads and mix well, causing all powder to dissolve;
- Then add two more measures of traditional or neutral shampoo;
- And also put a measure of liquid Benpantol; and
- Finally, mix well until the bleaching powder is fully absorbed into the mixture.
To apply it is important that the wires are previously cleaned and still wet.
Apply the mixture to the threads, massage with circular movements and let it act for 15 to 40 minutes.
At this stage of the application and period of action it is very important to pay attention and check how much the shade is opening, making you get the desired color and also, avoid damage during the process.

Attention to the measures and action time of the products
An important reminder is that using more bleaching powder or letting the mixture act on the strands above the specified time will not cause your hair to lighten more or less.
Using the amount of bleach above recommended or leaving for more than 40 minutes may result in weakening and breakage as these are corrosive products that will also act on the inner layers of the hair.
Therefore, avoid wrong amounts or periods.
After all, the main difference of this method to the usual whitening is the use of the shampoo, which with its moisturizing and softening ingredients, tends to delay corrosion, creating an extra protection in the threads.
But, this does not exempt the hair from possible damage in case of a wrong procedure, so watch out!
What’s the interval between one shampoozada and another?
Shampoozada is a process of discoloration that is less harmful to the hairs, but as already mentioned, this does not mean that it has no effect on hair fibers.
Therefore, in order to keep your hair healthy, avoid repeating the procedure at intervals of less than 15 days.
If your wires have not whitened sufficiently or as you wish, it is possible to repeat the process, but as long as it occurs at least every 2 weeks.
Doing the procedure in less time can lead to severe and even irreversible damage with the need for cuts. So, beware in applications!
