Permanent hair dye: features and choice

Hair coloring today can be carried out using various coloring compounds. Products in this category vary in their composition as well as their durability. Among the paints of prolonged action, persistent dyes should be distinguished, which are universally used in modern beauty salons.

It is impossible to fully realize the desire to change the image and image regarding the choice of a different hair color without high-quality and persistent paint. Such products will provide the fair sex with the selected shade or color, which will last as long as possible. Choosing a dye composition for the dyeing procedure, you should know that today there are 3 main types of compositions for working with hair:

• unstable products, which are necessary for a temporary change in the basic shade of curls;
• semi-permanent coloring agents;
• resistant hair dyes.

The last group of dyes stands out among the available varieties, first of all, by its composition, which determines its properties. The appearance of a good color on the head is resistant to dyeing products due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. These substances are able to soften the structure of the hair shaft, as a result of which it reveals flakes along the entire length. In this form, the hair becomes open to the penetration of the coloring pigment, which ensures color fastness after dyeing.

Of course, even after using this kind of dyes, over time, the color of the curls may fade, the gloss will disappear, but the color will remain unchanged. Another feature of this product is the fact that to change or display the color acquired with the help of resistant paint will be possible only when using products similar in principle to the action of the paint. However, frequent changes in hair color with the help of just such compositions can subsequently lead to the appearance of rather unexpected shades on curls.

The main positive feature of professional color paint is the minimal likelihood that the resulting shade on the hair will change after a few weeks. Even under the condition of an active summer holiday with maximum contact of the dyed hair rods with ultraviolet. As practice shows, the results of painting with persistent compounds will please the girl for 6-8 months. And for the correction of the root zone, it will be necessary to perform gentle staining of only the roots, without damaging the entire hair length with chemistry.

In order to protect the skin on the head from the negative effects of chemical components, painting at home or in a beauty salon must be done on unwashed hair. This feature is caused by a fat film, which is formed on the skin and the root zone, which is able to protect the head from the penetration of ammonia and peroxide. Also, before using a stable coloring composition, it is imperative to do an allergic reaction test.

However, in addition to high alkaline pH, persistent paints and cream paints also contain complexes of emollients, which to some extent smooth out the negative effects of chemical components.

Due to their characteristics regarding the resistance of penetrating pigments to the hair cuticle, the manufacturers of these products produce paint in a wide variety of colors. As a rule, paint products come in natural shades, as well as bright and creative colors, which today are very popular among young people.

Permanent paints 100% cope with gray hair, and an experienced craftsman in the salon will be able to choose the tone or semitone of dyeing products that will help get rid of age-related changes in the color and structure of the hair shaft without a fundamental change in the shade of the hair.

Persistent dyes for hair are classified into 2 groups:

• unprofessional staffs;
• professional paints.

The first category contains a 12% oxidizing agent, which will be more effective in working with light curls. As a rule, during dyeing with such a product, it is possible to get the most natural shades on the hair.

In this matter, it is most correct to rely on the opinion of professionals who are knowledgeable in color. Specialized paints will have a wider color palette, in addition, hairdressers will necessarily have mixtons that will help to adjust the tones and midtones of the selected color for an ideal result.

As for the professional, it will be difficult to find in ordinary stores. As a rule, such products are sold at specialized points; they are containers with a rather impressive volume. In addition, manufacturers usually do not provide any catchy labels and a general flashy appearance for this product series.

On persistent professional dyes, only the tone number and color name are present, without a sample of the result. This feature is due to the specifics of working with the most resistant hair dye, which involves combining the substance with additional colors, due to which the desired color is achieved for subsequent dyeing.

Today, various domestic and foreign brands are engaged in the production of resistant compositions for hair dyeing. Among them there are brands that have established themselves on the positive side for many decades ago and companies that are just mastering this direction. Among the most popular means, it is worth highlighting the products of such firms.

The domestic brand, offering its specialized series for hair dyeing for only a few years, however, due to the excellent quality of the compositions, paints are in high demand among masters and customers of beauty salons. In addition to durability, Estel paints are also noteworthy for a fairly budget cost compared to peers.

Hair products from Finland, which is widely used by Russian and foreign masters. Today in the palette of this brand there are more than a hundred colors for coloring curls. In addition, the paint is distinguished by its composition that does not contain harmful ammonia. This nuance provides gentle dyeing to the hair rods, but this does not affect the durability and brightness of the color.

In addition to the basic components, persistent hair dye from this brand is additionally enriched with natural oils that provide moisturizing and nourishing hair rods. The composition has a creamy consistency, in addition, the paint smells pretty nice. As experience shows, the compositions of this line are able to effectively deal with gray hair, providing a stable and uniform staining of the strands.

However, despite the gentle composition, work with paint should only be worn with gloves, and paint only unwashed head. Half an hour will be enough for the components to react with the hair cuticle. You can use the paint no more than once every 2 months.

A series of persistent coloring compounds of a professional and non-professional line, which incorporates unique active molecules with colored pigment. They are responsible for the durability and color depth. In addition to chemicals, dyes of this brand include lipids and wax, which provide the necessary hair care. A feature of the use of the compositions of this line is the need to combine the coloring matter with a clarifier and a small amount of water.

Hair is usually dyed with such a composition in 2 stages - first, the upper part of the curls is painted, then, after the desired time, the paint is applied to the ends, rubbing the composition into the hair with massage movements. After a quarter of an hour, the paint should be washed off.

Long-lasting marine collagen cream paint, which positively affects staining, and also reduces the negative impact of ammonia on hair rods and skin integuments. In the standard palette of the manufacturer there are more than three dozen colors, including black, red shades, blond and gray tones. In addition to natural shades, the brand also offers rich purple, burgundy and other bright colors.

The choice of a suitable long-acting coloring composition should be based on the color type of the woman, as well as on the presence or absence of gray hair. Neglect of such moments can lead to the fact that instead of the much-desired shiny chestnut color on the hair, the curls will acquire a green color. It is also worthwhile to be prepared in advance that a radical change of dark color to light will not give the expected result immediately after the first staining. Even professional tools will not be able to cope with such a task.

To facilitate the process of selecting the tone of the paint, each manufacturer tries to offer special tables to the attention of consumers, thanks to which it will be easier to find the right color. However, one should not expect 100% color matching of their curls and samples from the palette, since the shades from the table were obtained on white artificial fibers, which in most cases guarantees a slightly different result in reality. This rule also applies to naturally light or bleached hair rods.

In particular, the difference can be felt on previously painted strands. In order not to be mistaken with the type of product, you can perform a little testing on some long stretch of hair.

The help in choosing the paint will be able to determine the following points:

• the presence of gray hair as a percentage of total hair volume;
• natural shade of curls;
• initial hair color at the time of dyeing;
• desired result.

As for natural unpainted strands, it is important to decide on the intended color, given that if the shade you like is more than 4 positions lighter than the original, then you will need to lighten the curls before using the resistant paint. Moreover, the procedure for removing color can lead to the fact that a warm shade will form on the hair, close to copper or straw. If you want to add shine to your hair by using a shade similar to the original, you should resort to dyeing with compounds without ammonia.

As for gray hair, in this case, the following recommendations can be noted that will help to choose the right composition for painting.

• For women with about half of gray hair, it will be more correct to choose persistent ammonia compounds starting from level 7. This applies to dark curls.
• Owners of hair with gray hair, the total amount of which will exceed 80%, should use paints, the marking of which will begin at level 7 and end at level 9.
• For completely gray hair, it is more correct to choose resistant dyes from a light palette starting from level 8. In this case, it is necessary to refrain from using bright compositions.

According to the responses of the fair sex who choose prolonged-release ammonia formulations for staining, most of the products on the market do a good job of dyeing curls, regardless of the original length. As a rule, women prefer to choose colors several positions darker than the original, in the light of which there is no need for preliminary clarification, which is very harmful to the hair. With proper shade selection, as well as comprehensive care for curls after the procedure, the hair rods are quickly restored, maintaining a healthy appearance. Most positive reviews have formulations with natural moisturizing ingredients that nourish the hair and retain color for a long time.
