Tips
Find a colorist who is a curl specialist with a strong portfolio of healthy blonde results on Type 3/4 hair. Ask for a "blonde afro" and have a deep consultation about health, toner shades (e.g., "honey blonde," not "ash blonde"), and a long-term care plan.

Question & Answer
Will going blonde ruin my 3C curl pattern?
It is a significant risk. Bleach is a powerful chemical that can loosen your curl pattern. A skilled colorist who uses bond-building treatments (like Olaplex) and a gentle lightener can minimize the damage, but some change is possible. Meticulous aftercare is essential.
