All About Palette Hair Colors

For more than half a century, Palette hair dyes have been successfully sold in Germany and another 50 countries around the world, demonstrating their popularity among women who prefer to tidy their hair on their own. The initial formula has improved over the years, the composition, the palette of colors and shades has changed. But the reviews about the products created by the German company Schwarzkopf invariably sound in a positive way, including due to the high level of quality control that allows standardizing the products manufactured around the world.

In Russia, the brand produces “Fitolinia” brightening paint and other popular Palette series, which allow choosing shades taking into account the types of appearance that are typical for residents of the northern countries. Cold tones, which are given by delicate blondering compositions, copper and red, chocolate and raven wings - the palette of colors is so varied that it allows you to find a solution for both ladies with early gray hair and those who are dissatisfied with the external data presented by nature. But paying attention to the bright individuality of the compositions, do not forget that each product has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

From the first days of its production, German Palette hair dye is made from the highest quality natural raw materials and chemical ingredients that undergo careful selection. The manufacturer pays great attention to these points, the composition is regularly updated with new useful ingredients.Among the most popular oils are avocado oil, a valuable source of fatty acids that can saturate your hair with shine, make them lively and strong. In addition, the composition contains orange tree oil and argan - natural antiseptics that have the ability to regulate the oily scalp.

Plant extracts are also not forgotten by the manufacturer. In the Fitolinia series, Palette specialists did an unprecedented experiment, using the power of plants as the main ingredient of the coloring composition. The result of this symbiosis was the emergence of funds that can not only change color, but also improve hair.

Under the Palette brand, three types of hair colorings are available.

• Tinted or light tinted. Gel formulations give the declared color for a short time. It can be completely washed off after 6-8 visits to the shower. The line of shades is focused on current basic tones. Paints are distinguished by a gentle effect, penetration into the hair is excluded, allowing to achieve minimal destructive contact with the structure of the strands.

• Semi-resistant. They are washed off a month after staining, allow you to change the shade by 1-2 steps, but not the tone. A series of products is called Color & Gloss, and they are considered rather as caring, allowing you to saturate the curls with shine and radiance.

• Persistent. The color will remain unchanged for several months - this is exactly the promise Palette gives its fans. All the most popular series of products of this German brand have exactly a washout-resistant formula. But as the roots grow back, in any case, the hair will have to be tinted.

Among the advantages that Palette paints have, a number of characteristics can be distinguished.

1. Budget cost. The brand’s products are indeed designed for the mass market segment, but at the same time they are created in a convenient format and have a wide network of distributors throughout the country.

6. Thick texture. The paint has a creamy structure, does not flow, fits perfectly on the hair. You can easily calculate the consumption of the composition taking into account the length of the hair - curls to the shoulders will require the purchase of a second package of the product.
7. Continuous improvement of the formula. Those who do not change the brand over the years see this very well.
8. The effectiveness of painting gray hair. Almost all Palette paints cope with this task 100%.
9. A variety of levels of resistance. You can choose the maximum or minimum, washed off after several dozen visits to the shower.

Not without flaws. At Palette, they, like most persistent dyes, are quite uniform. In most series, there is ammonia in the composition, which gives a strong unpleasant odor to the agent applied to the hair. The problem is partially solved by the presence of ammonia-free products.

Among Palette products there are a range of products for tinting or radical hair color changes. Each of them has its own characteristics - in the application, the intensity of the impact, the range of tones obtained.

Originally created as an alternative to harsh ammonia dyes, lightening and tinting, depending on the choice of the series, the Fittte Palette made it possible to make hair coloring sparing. It contains natural extracts of useful plants, oils, including those obtained from argan, jojoba. Moreover, they are added both to the conditioner and to the mixture for staining itself, which also minimizes the risks of negative manifestations from the skin, keeps the curls healthy.

Keratin, panthenol in the coloring base, Nutri oil in the conditioner form a double effect, previously unattainable.

Paints Palette Salon Colors in the amount of 16 rich shades allow you to try on the image, as from a salon, with home staining. The resistance of the pigment when changing color is due to the ammonia content. That is why it is recommended to use a preliminary test for allergies on the elbow before staining. To mitigate the negative effects, the conditioner is included in a separate bag, which must be applied to the hair and withstand the set time.

A distinctive feature of the Salon Colors series is a large volume of ingredients - the finished mixture in a pack is enough for full coloring of medium-length hair.

The composition is distinguished by caring properties, it includes provitamins, argan oil, gentle coloring substances.

In order for the color choice to be made correctly, it is worth observing a number of simple rules.

1. All shades of the brightening group - blond, blond, pearl, ashy, powdery blond and other light colors - on the hair are used only after preliminary clarification. Otherwise, the result can be very different from the expected one.
2. Before deciding to dye in a color that is radically different from the natural tone of the hair, you need to try a similar option for coloring with an unstable dye. Such experiments are not suitable for owners of gray hair. It is worth making a test stain, if you are attracted to the red or purple gamut of colors, it is planned to switch to red shades, black.
3. To navigate when choosing a shade is on your own skin color. Cold tones - eggplant, blue-black, light brown, Scandinavian blond, copper red - will suit women with pale or pink skin and a “winter” type of appearance. Warm - dark chocolate, golden truffle, coffee, chestnut, caramel, cappuccino - will decorate girls with a golden, beige or dark-skinned shade of skin.
4. Owners of natural chestnut hair rarely succeed in experimenting with blocking substances. If you want to radically lighten your hair, you should try highlighting, otherwise there is a high probability of getting a faceless, personalityless image.
5. The presence of gray hair is a good reason to switch to stable dyes. Hue products are relevant only for curls with natural pigmentation.

The use of Palette cream-paint at home is maximally simplified, allowing each woman to carry out the tinting procedure for strands of any length without outside help.

A correctly executed sequence of actions is the key to a good result.

1. Mix the ingredients, first protecting your hands with gloves. If the kit does not include a special bottle with a screw-off tip (dispenser), it is worthwhile to prepare non-metallic dishes (glass, ceramic). The finished composition is quickly oxidized in the open air, you should immediately proceed to staining.
2. Comb the hair in the middle, dye the roots, transferring the mass of hair in rows sideways. Preliminary shampooing is not required.
3. After the roots are stained, you should evenly distribute the mixture along the entire length of the strands, trying to achieve full coverage with the composition of the entire mass of hair.
4. At the end of the procedure, the hair is fixed with a knot on the top with a hairpin (if they are long). Cover them with polyethylene, it is not necessary to insulate.
5. Recommended exposure time is 30 minutes. When brightening, the dye is aged 35 minutes.
6. After the set time has elapsed, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the hair in warm running water until the liquid is completely transparent - there should be no traces of paint. After that, if the kit includes air conditioning, it is applied to the hair for 5 minutes.

Palette hair dyes get quite conflicting reviews from buyers. Despite the fact that it was quite successfully adapted by the manufacturer for the budget price segment, the quality of the compositions in the mass market leaves much to be desired. The caustic chemical base often causes allergic reactions. For damaged, split ends, dyeing can become a source of problems such as increased loss, brittle strands, and general deterioration.

Another source of complaints is uneven staining. The color on the packaging rarely matches the actual staining result.

But those consumers to whom the paint came up, note a wide range of shades of natural and fashionable series, ease of application and, indeed, budget cost. All this together makes the Palette product line popular and popular in Russia.
