Before you sharply recolor your own hair color in raspberry or peach, We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the features of pink hair dyes, as well as their pros and cons.

• Mostly pink dyes and tinted shampoos of this color are chosen by girls. Many psychologists attribute this to the fact that young women subconsciously want to be like the legendary Barbie doll. Pink color is very popular among representatives of various subcultures, especially often hair is colored or highlighted with pink color by punks, emo, fans of the anime genre and some others.
• Pink color distinguishes its owner from the crowd, which is a big plus. But if you go too far with a hairstyle and bright shades, then this, of course, will be a big minus.
• When choosing a shade, it is very important to take into account a lot of nuances, including skin and eye color. For example, fair-skinned ladies and owners of a porcelain skin tone are best to pay attention to brighter shades of pink.Pink and purple shades and powdery pink pearl colors are perfect for tanned or dark-skinned girls.
• As a rule, it is impossible to achieve a pure pink color on the hair without prior lightening. The fact is that if you protonate dark hair with pink, you can only get a slight shine of pink, but in no way a pure color. And this is a significant minus, because not everyone wants to lighten the hair. In addition, this shade on dark hair will quickly wash off.
• It should be remembered that the pink color can not be worn for as long as any dark or red. In fact, pink color is just a temporary tone on the hair that needs to be regularly updated and tinted in the salon, and this, of course, requires certain and at the same time regular waste. The colored pigment is washed out of the hair with each subsequent use of shampoo and shampooing, which means that every day the color will fade if you do not use special care products from the lines for dyed and tinted hair to revitalize it.
• Choosing an unusual shade for dyeing your hair, it is advisable to find a professional colorist who will not only perform high-quality dyeing, but also advise toning shampoos to maintain color at home.

• Before you start staining, you must properly dilute the paint.If it is ordinary and bought in a simple store, then you just need to mix all the ingredients in the order specified in the instructions. A homogeneous mass should be obtained.

• In order not to accidentally stain your forehead or ears, you can apply a little oily cream or an ordinary baby cream, not reaching the hairline. This method will not allow the paint to penetrate the upper layers of the skin, the tool will be much easier to wash off.
• Hair dyeing along the entire length is best started from the occipital zone, gradually moving to the temporal ones. Upon completion, it is not necessary to cover the hair with something, it is best to fix it with a clip and wait for the necessary time.
• After a certain time, the paint should be thoroughly washed off from the hair until light water pours. Rinse hair with shampoo and balm for colored curls, dry.
