In order for staining at home to give the desired result, it is necessary first of all to purchase a high-quality dye. To change the hair into a burgundy color, persistent dyes, tinting agents and some natural ingredients are used. Dye brand Estel shade "Burgundy" is one of the most popular. The natural ingredients contained in the composition provide a mild effect and do not spoil the hair. Brand Palette the line has a shade of "Eggplant", which provides a bright and saturated color.

The presence of keratin among the components is responsible for the appearance of a healthy shine of hair. Brand Londa can offer customers the shade of "Burgundy", characterized by ease of use and color uniformity. It is necessary to withstand the coloring agent on the hair from 30 to 40 minutes for the appearance of persistent pigment.

However, you should be prepared that in some situations the final color is different from the planned one.

• This is a natural blonde, which during the first coloring can become too bright or even unnatural.
• A similar situation occurs with overdried, spoiled or porous strands. The wrong color in this case does not wash out for a very long time.
• The dye does not always manifest itself correctly if previously the curls have already been dyed. The desired shade will be in the root zone, but here along the entire length of the strand it will be dirty and slurred. Moreover, bleached locks can even become covered with ugly spots.

As for tinting agents, they give the necessary shade, but for a much shorter time than persistent dyes. Brand “Artual” has a Burgundy shade in the line, which, although it looks persistent, is washed off after one or two head washes. At the tonic balm Burgundy color is located under the name "Native American Summer". The color is not very saturated and disappears after one time. Brand Irida the line has a shade of "Burgundy", which not only gives the desired color and shine, but also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair. Rinsing occurs after about 2 shampoos.

All natural ingredients, unlike purchased dyes, are applied to already washed hair without the use of conditioner, balm or mask. After completing the painting, you will have to spend 3 days without washing your hair, otherwise all actions will be in vain. Apply a mixture of natural ingredients in a slightly cooled condition, so as not to provoke a scalp burn. In addition, despite the safety of the products used, they should not be applied to strands after perming or similar traumatic procedures, otherwise the result may be unpredictable.

In order for the henna to give a shade of burgundy, rather than the usual red color, it has to be mixed with certain products, for example, beetroot juice or wine. To process the hair of medium length, you need one henna bag, and for long curls you will need a couple. In the first case, a slightly warmed beet juice is mixed with henna until a uniform, rather thick substance without lumps appears. The dye is distributed along the entire length of the strands, after which the head is wrapped in a plastic bag and a warm towel. After 1 hour, the hair is washed under the tap.

In some cases, the mixture is left on the head for a longer period - up to 6 hoursand beetroot juice is replaced by hibiscus tea. The preparation of the wine mixture is in principle carried out according to a similar algorithm. The heated wine is mixed with henna, and then the substance is left for 3 hours to infuse. Next, the dye is distributed by curls. After an hour, the curls can be washed with warm, but not hot water.

To obtain dark variations of the Burgundy hue, cocoa is also allowed. In the first case, cocoa is mixed with henna, diluted with cranberry juice and applied to the hair for about 1 hour. In the second case, a mixture of cocoa and ground cloves is poured into hibiscus and is also applied for an hour. The head is washed under running water. Dry components are used in a 1 to 1 ratio.

When staining is carried out at home, it is important to study the instructions, as well as make sure that the amount of dye does not end at the most important moment. Experts recommend immediately purchasing two packages if the length of the curls is lower than the shoulders, or if they themselves have a rigid structure. Persistent agent is applied to dry strands. Before using the paint, you should check if there is an allergic reaction. To do this, a small amount of paint is applied to the wrist or the inside of the elbow for a couple of hours. If as a result there are no red spots, itching or burning, then everything is in order.

The distribution of the coloring matter over the head begins with the back of the head. It is important to first process the roots, and then distribute the residues through the hair. The tool is left for the amount of time that is stated in the instructions. Then the mop is washed with a large amount of running water, and the balm in the package is used.

Hair dyed in a Burgundy shade requires special care, since unstable pigment is washed out quite quickly. So that the hair does not become dull and lifeless, all care products should be replaced with those that have the mark "for colored hair." Shampoo is better to take sulfate-free, since it does not contain a component that contributes to the leaching of color. Masks and balms will have to be used in smaller quantities, since they still discolor the pigment a little. It makes sense to use tools that fix the shade, for example, serums and sprays.

In summer, when going outside, you will have to protect the curls with a headgear or with special means containing components that impede the effects of ultraviolet radiation.In winter, one should not forget about frost protection.
