Best for this transformation is suitable professional and many familiar Indola paint from the German company Schwarzkopf.

What are the features and advantages of using this tool? Why exactly this paint can cope with the task better than others? It's no secret that ammonia is present in almost any paint. As you know, its excessive content has a negative effect on the structure of each hair, brittleness and dryness is provided to them.

Polymers are present in Indola as a protection. Their beneficial effect is to strengthen the structure of each hair. Due to the deep penetration of polymers, the hair becomes not only strong, but also soft, elastic, with excellent healthy shine. The color saturation during staining is provided by the pigments that make up the paint. Thanks to their microscopic dimensions, they easily penetrate the core of each hair, thereby providing a rich bright shade to the hair.

Among the advantages of Indola paint is certainly worth noting the widest color palette.About 100 of the most diverse shades allow even the most demanding customer to purchase paint with the right color nuance for her. In addition, manufacturers also took into account the possibility of mixing colors of different colors, which makes it possible for every woman to experiment with several shades.

Indola Paint is easy to use. Due to its creamy texture, it is easily mixed and applied to the hair. After the specified time, the ideal shade is even provided for gray hair. An important question when buying hair dye is: which dye to choose (expensive or cheap) or is it better to dwell on a mid-priced product?

Indola paint in this sense refers to the golden mean. It is not cheap, but its price is not so high as to breach even in the most modest budget. Absolutely, every woman can afford to buy this cosmetic product.

To understand what type of Indola paint is right for you, you need to know which lines are produced under this brand. The line division is due to the presence or absence of a component such as ammonia. The Profession Permanent Caring Color line is specially designed to produce a bright, saturated shade of hair. If you want to change your color or make it 2-3 tones lighter, then Profession Permanent Caring Color is best suited for this task. For gray, dense hair types, the Professional line is most preferable, since it is ammonia that deeply reveals the scales of the hair and allows the pigment to penetrate inside. And the additional components that make up the paints of this line hold pigments inside the rod for a long time.

Ammonia-free Indola Zero AMM Color paints are designed to give your hair a light shade. The absence of ammonia does not mean at all that the resulting color will be washed off after the first shampoo. They contain monoethanolamine, which, like ammonia, reveals scales, but acts more gently, so the shade on the hair is slightly less bright. Both lines manufactured under the Indola brand are used in conjunction with oxidizing agents. It is they that allow the desired shade to appear on the hair. For the Zero AMM Color line, it is enough to use 2% oxide, and for Profession Permanent, as a rule, 6%, 9% and 12% developers are required.

The most diverse gamut of shades is presented in the Profession Permanent Caring Color line. For convenience, a quick search for the desired shade, it is divided into groups.

• To give the hair a natural natural shade, colors from the Naturals & Essentials group are suitable. This direction is most rich in the number of shades, there are 52 of them, so you can choose the right one even for the most demanding lady.
• Slightly smaller shades in the Fashion & Red group, there are only 33 of them. This direction is designed to group red and copper tones.
• In the third group, Blond Expert contains shades for blondes, of which 7 tones are used to brighten, and 6 for tinting.
• For the bold and courageous, bright and extraordinary tones are collected in the Contrast group. With the help of paints of this group, you can highlight both individual strands, make an amber, and completely color your hair. For convenience, all shades of this line are issued under numbers, each number, as a rule, consists of 2-3 digits. The first is a number indicating the degree of saturation, the second is a number indicating a primary tone, and the third in a row indicates a secondary hue.

Marking "0" is interpreted as the lack of tone in this type of paint, or when its shade refers to a natural palette. Shades belonging to the Blond Expert Highlift group, brightening up to 4-5 tones of the original color, are marked 1000, the numbers also come after the point (1000.03 - natural golden blond, 1000.0 - natural blond).

Black color is marked with the number "1". Colors having brown shades, depending on the degree of tone, are indicated by "3", "4" and "5". Light brown and light brown shades are labeled “6” and “7”, respectively.Under the “8”, “9”, “10” indicated on the package, light shades are indicated. Secondary shades are also marked with numbers. For an ashy shade - “1”, pearl is marked “2”, golden “3”, copper “4”, mahogany “5”, red “6”, purple “7”, chocolate “8”, and a shade with a matte effect is indicated the number "9".

In addition to the numerical designation, on the box with paint there are designations in the form of letters. For a group of Indola Blond Expert Pastel paints, the letter “P” is in front of the numbers and the dot (R. 01 - pastel natural ashen, R. 31 - pastel golden ash).

For the Contrast group, marking with the letter “C”, located in front of the point, is carried out.

The line of paints without ammonia Indola Zero AMM Color has fewer shades (about 30). The paint of this line is used, as a rule, to obtain a natural tone. The spread in intensity is almost the same as in other groups from the darkest “1” to very light “9”.

Mixton Indola are used in conjunction with the main dyes and are designed to give a shade to the selected color. They are marked similarly to paints. To date, there are only 5 of them: ashen (0.11), pearly (0.22), golden (0.33), copper (0.44), red (0.66).

In order not to be disappointed with the result, in addition to the desired shade or two, it is necessary to choose the correct oxidizing agent with the desired concentration.

For clarification in two tones, you can use 9% oxide, which can be mixed in a ratio of 1: 1.

For dark saturated tones, it is sufficient to use 6% oxide, which can be mixed in equal parts with the dye. This oxide concentration is also suitable for coloring gray hair. If you want to change the color of your hair by just 1 tone, you should buy a 6% oxidizing agent and mix to the right amount, depending on the length and density of the hair with dye 1: 1.

Weakened, thin and brittle hair requires a more gentle approach, so it is better to use 2% oxide, which is mixed with the dye in equal parts. It must be remembered that dye and oxide can only be mixed in suitable containers. Glass or silicone glassware is best suited for this process. When mixing, always use gloves and use a special brush as a tool. To protect against coloring matter of the skin along the hairline, you can use a greasy cream. The film formed on the surface of the skin will not allow the dye to penetrate into the pores, which means that it will not have to be wiped off after staining.

In order to avoid such troubles as a rash or redness, it is necessary to conduct a test. The prepared composition is applied to the inside of the elbow, if after half an hour and subsequent observation (36-48 hours) there is no reaction (redness or burning), then this paint can be safely used.

Apply the composition on dry hair. If the tone is used for the first time, then paint should be applied over the entire length of the hair, 2-3 cm from the roots, after 10 minutes the paint is distributed to the roots. When re-staining, the composition is applied immediately to the root area, trying not to touch the rest. 25-30 minutes are enough for tinting the roots, after which the remaining composition is distributed over the entire length and left to act for 5-10 minutes. The total exposure time, as a rule, does not exceed 40 minutes.

Do not dye your hair with this dye if it had previously been tinted with henna or basma. In this case, it is better to consult a professional hairdresser for a recommendation.After the procedure is completed, the paint must be washed off only with warm water to prevent the pigment from being washed out. In order for the dye to stay on the hair as long as possible, after the first dyeing, it is advisable not to wash your hair for 3-4 days. As care products for colored hair, it is best to use specialized masks and balms, manufactured under the Indola brand.
