Most opinions agree that painting work is best entrusted to professionals, but conversion to chocolate and ashen is quite possible at home. The result will largely depend on the state of the curls, as well as color experiments conducted earlier. In this case, the curls that had already been painted in dark shades, for example, dark chocolate, eggplant, black, will require preliminary removal of the old coloring pigment. And also it will be necessary to carry out a wash for the fair sex, who previously had a hair color mahogany or mahogany.

Preliminary procedures should not discolor the natural pigment, but only remove the old artificial one. On the natural color, chocolate-ash will lie more evenly and better. If you neglect the preliminary procedures, the new fashionable shade on the hair will be almost invisible.

But adherence to the entire coloring algorithm, as well as taking into account the pigmentation features of the hair cuticle, will be mandatory. As practice shows, the most beautiful and easiest color will lie on brown curls. For gray hair and highlighting, it is necessary to select a coloring composition designed for such curls. This is due to the structural features of such hair rods.

For home procedures, you will need the following inventory:

• paint;
• gloves, cape;
• brushes, a container for preparing a coloring composition;
• hat, towel;
• clarifier if necessary.

If the primary task is to remove the old paint, then the clarifier should be applied to unwashed curls, hide hair under a hat, and withstand the set time. After the passage of time, the composition should be washed off from the hair, treated with curls with a neutralizing product to stop the effect of the previous substance.

Then the hair should be dried, apply the selected tone on the entire head for full dyeing, or highlighting. For these purposes, you can use a special hat with holes for strands or foil. Having sustained the paint the prescribed period of time, it is washed off.

After washing, hair must be treated with balsam, which will fix the color - It is usually sold together with paint. An alternative to it at home can be a solution of table vinegar and water. The result on the hair may vary slightly from the paint on the packaging. If the final shade does not suit you at all, then to give the curls the desired color, you can use a series of tinted balms or shampoos.

For those women who have chosen for themselves the paint in variations of chocolate-ashen, there are a number of recommendations, which concern the subsequent care of curls.

• After dyeing, hair washing should be carried out with formulations specifically designed for dyed hair rods. The priority is shampoos, masks and balms, made specifically for the dark palette of colored curls.
• To keep the color saturated for as long as possible, you should protect your hair from direct sunlight. This applies to the use of hats, as well as the additional use of specialized tools (sprays, balms) that protect the cuticle from the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation.
• Nourishing the hair and giving it shine will help nourishing masks. They are recommended to be done at least once a week. In order for the coloring pigment not to be washed ahead of time, it is worth avoiding formulations with the presence of coconut and linseed oils.
• It is recommended to use heaters for hot styling as little as possible, whether it is hair dryers, irons or curling irons. It is best for the curls to dry naturally.
• Wash your hair more correctly with soft water, avoiding liquids with a high content of chlorine.
