A new beauty trend that’s catching attention — laser hair lightening! But is it worth the risk for the sake of a trendy experiment?

Laser lightening is being promoted as a gentler alternative to chemical treatments, akin to natural sun-bleached hair. Tempting, right? But before booking that appointment, let’s break down the details!

How does it work?

The same laser used for hair removal is now targeting hair length instead of roots.

But it’s not all sunshine:

1. Surprise effect — you can’t fully control how light your hair will get or what the outcome will look like.

2. Unevenness — achieving an even lightening across your entire head might be nearly impossible.

3. Safety concerns — no serious studies have yet been conducted to prove the safety of this procedure.

And let’s not forget, in the hands of an unskilled technician, the laser could be far more aggressive than traditional lightening products used by a seasoned colorist.

So, is it worth trying? That depends on your willingness to experiment and your desire for something new!
