All about gentle hair dyes

Natural shiny and silky hair attract attention and are the pride and adornment of any woman. But nature is often stingy with rewards, so the beauty industry comes to the rescue. The density of the hair can be increased by extension, and the dull color can be changed to a deep luxurious shade by gentle hair dye, which copes with the task without compromising their appearance.

Previously produced paints contained a high percentage of ammonia or ammonium nitrate, which were very harmful substances, when applied, they got into the body, which could cause various complications or allergic reactions. In addition, they very dried the structure of the hair and led to their weakening, loss and split ends, the salvation of which were only scissors.

The developers took these points into account and developed paints with gentle substances and components that have less pronounced side defects and do less harm to the hair without ammonia content. In addition to everything else, they contain various vitamins and elements of natural origin, with the help of which hair is restored and restored to its well-groomed appearance.

There is much debate about the positive and negative sides of semi-permanent paints, but a significant advantage goes towards the former, as many hair problems are solved. They have the following advantages:

• no allergy to components; To create such an effect, ethanolamine was synthesized, the molecules of which are much larger, therefore it is more difficult for them to absorb into the skin and cause irritation;
• lack of a specific smell;
• the color comes out muted and looks very natural;
• lovers of experiments, this product is indispensable; if the shade came out unsuccessful, it will quickly wash off, leaving no trace;
• experiments with shades may not be limited, and also after a while, the transition between colored and natural curls is not visible at all; with constant use of the dye, it is reliably absorbed into the structure of the hair, so with further use, the composition can be applied only to the roots, without touching the length itself.

The negative factors include the following factors that must be considered so that there are no unpleasant surprises when buying a product and after painting:

• high cost, due to the addition of natural substances to the paint, the extraction of which increases the price;
• coloring material is quickly washed off; the color is not persistent and is washed off somewhere after 1.5–2 months;
• you can not dye more than several tones - the brunette will not easily become blonde, since the pigment in her hair will not be able to change as easily as when applying a product with a high ammonia content; the maximum of her curls will become chestnut;
• not suitable for complex types of staining;
• there is no effective gray hair coloring.

Based on trends, manufacturers are trying to create products in the form such as:

• gel;
• paste;
• cream;
• mousse.
