Changing the color of hair and the shape of the hairstyle is the first step to creating a new look. Throughout life, a woman can change the shade of curls several times. These changes depend on her age, mood, chosen style and lifestyle. Natural dye, which has remained in demand for many years, is henna.
A natural preparation not only dyes hair, but also favorably affects its structure.
The disadvantage of this tool is the narrow color scheme.
In order to radically change the tone of curls, it is necessary to use chemicals. Before applying the selected dye to henna-treated hair, the effects of this procedure should be carefully studied.
Thoughtless actions can lead to disastrous results and the appearance of unexpected colors on the hair.
How long can I paint?
Henna is a natural coloring agent that is made from non-barbed Lawsonia. The habitat of this plant is Africa and eastern countries. Vegetable dyes are most popular among oriental women, who use them not only for coloring hair, but also for applying traditional patterns on the skin of hands and feet. The color of the underwear graphics lasts for a month, and the shade of the hair can remain bright and saturated for two months.
Experts recommend periodically using natural preparations from lavsonia, which will help to heal curls, give them shine and improve the structure, as well as color gray hair, activate hair follicles, and cure seborrhea.
After dyeing hair with henna, it is strictly forbidden to change the shade of hair with the help of ammonia preparations.
To improve the color scheme and give the desired shade, hairdressers are allowed to use tinted tonics and balms.
Only 3 months after applying the natural dye, you can dye your hair with dye, after consulting with a specialist and following all the procedures for removing henna. But even carrying out these manipulations in specialized salons by experienced hairdressers cannot guarantee the desired shade.
Experienced professionals recommend a styling haircut that helps to remove dyed hair. and only in the presence of natural strands to conduct a chemical change in color. The best tool for this procedure is ammonia-free paint.
The durability of a natural material depends not only on its quality, but also on the type of hair. The greatest stability of the drug is observed on smooth and thin curls of light brown and light shade.
Fashionistas with red and brown curly strands will have to make a minimal amount of effort to remove the product.
Specialists recommend long-haired blondes to undergo a set of measures to bleach curls, and only then dye the strands with ordinary ammonia-free paint.
Before applying the coloring composition of henna to the hair, you must definitely look at the country of manufacture of the product. This information will make it possible to determine the stability of the composition. In modern stores you can buy two types of henna.
- Iranian - a low quality product that has a low price range and a high level of color stability. Self-removal of this tool will take a long time period.
- Indian - A high quality product that is used to improve hair. Removing this product will not cause difficulties even at home with simple drugs.
Particular attention should be paid to colorless henna, which is used to give shine and volume to the hair, as well as to protect curls from the negative effects of the environment.
The uniqueness of this composition lies in the possibility of applying any coloring agent within 30 days after use.
It is after this period of time that the protective shell breaks down on its own and there is no need to make efforts to force the removal of pigment.
Why can not be painted immediately?
Henna-dyed hair changes not only color but also structure. The surface of the hair acquires a porous texture, and the pigment penetrates deeply into the curl and accumulates in the cuticle. The components of the coloring composition create a protective film on the strands, which increases the resistance of the color shade and makes it resistant to washing off.
Given the peculiarities of henna, experts recommend that women who several times a year radically change the shade of curls refrain from using it.

How to repaint?
Before dyeing curls with chemicals, be sure to remove particles of lavsonia from the hair.
Even after carrying out this complex of measures, experts categorically forbid the use of products with aggressive ammonia, which will necessarily react with the remains of henna and will provoke a distortion of the chosen shade.
The main feature of this film membrane is its resistance to water, chemicals and ultraviolet radiation. The natural component will remain on the strands throughout the entire period of their growth, and the natural shade of hair will appear only on newly regrown hair.
Professional masters recommend visiting a beauty salon before painting and performing the decapitation procedure, the essence of which is to displace natural pigments with special chemical compounds. Workers in beauty salons give a 100% guarantee of the effectiveness of this procedure. If it is not possible to carry out decapitation, experts recommend using alternative methods of removing henna before painting.
