Women with medium and long hairstyles can use a few types of dyeing.

Professional hairdressers use several leading strand dyeing techniques.

In order for the hairstyle to remain beautiful and attractive for a long time, and the hair to be strong and healthy, experts recommend paying special attention to colored strands. Among the main activities for the care of hair can be identified as follows:

• applying moisturizing masks based on olive and almond oil;
• use only special shampoos for highlighted hair;
• weekly use of restoring masks;
• combing hair only after partial drying;
• minimal use of thermal agents for drying and styling.

Experts recommend starting the coloring process only 3 months after using henna, basma and perm.

In order that the process of caring for curls does not cause a lot of trouble and difficulties, stylists advise the right choice of coloring compounds. Basic Rules:

• use only unexpired funds;
• the use of paints with a minimum amount of ammonia;
• checking the packaging for integrity and tightness;
• the acquisition of mid-priced goods.

Trying to preserve the hair structure as much as possible, experts do not recommend completely abandoning ammonia. Gentle paints do not give the desired color and are quickly washed off.

For this procedure, apply a small amount of the product on the back of the wrist and rinse off after a few minutes. Only in the absence of rashes can you start the procedure.
