Stopper after bleaching: when and how to apply it

A blonde service can go perfectly until the rinse, when the hair suddenly feels different. Recognizing that moment and being clear on how to use Stopper makes a real difference in the result.

01

Why does it matter in bleaching services?

The Stopper manual presents it as an emergency treatment, essential in bleaching protocols. It works to stop excessive elasticity and reduce the risk of breakage during chemical processes.

02

How do you know the hair needs it?

If damp hair stretches too far, is slow to return to shape, or feels gummy, those are signs the fiber has lost strength. Check the mid-lengths and ends in particular, and compare several strands before deciding.

03

How is it applied?

After washing, apply Stopper to damp hair, evenly over the mid-lengths and ends. Massage gently and leave on for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the level of damage or elasticity. Rinse thoroughly and finish as desired.

04

Which actives work on the fiber?

The formula combines hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed collagen, creatine, and an intensive reconstructive complex. According to the manual, it also forms a protective barrier that helps prevent further damage.

05

What can support it at home?

Stopper also has a Home Care line, so the client can continue the care after the service. For tone, another salon tool is the Comodín Ampoule, which mixes with masks or leave-ins.

In summary

After bleaching, check the hair's elasticity. If there is a gummy effect, apply Stopper to damp mid-lengths and ends for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the damage.
