Staining recommendations
If possible, coloring the hair in cherry color should be entrusted to professionals, since this color is considered far from the simplest. Most often, the procedure is performed several times. Brunettes first need to bleach, and blondes often face the problem of showing a bright red color during staining. In general, the staining procedure is always carried out according to a single scheme, regardless of its location. First of all, the required color is determined depending on the available color type.
Next, dark hair is exposed to lightening, which is always worth carrying out in the salon. Next, you should definitely check for an allergic reaction. This is done according to the instructions in the package.

It is more convenient to start at the temples, and move to the back of the head. After this, the roots are processed, previously divided into separate parts. When all the hair is processed, you need to wrap your head in polyethylene, and on top insulate everything with a towel. The paint is aged according to the instructions, the curls are washed, dried and stacked. Most often, the package also has a protective balm, which should be used after washing.

If re-processing is required, then it is necessary to start already with the roots, and then the remaining paint should be evenly distributed throughout the hair.
How to care for hair after the procedure?
Maintaining a cherry color for a long time is almost impossible without proper care. It is better to reduce the use of hair spray, which not only spoils the condition of the hair, but also makes it more dull. Besides, this tool leads to damage to the cuticle, which is responsible for the retention of pigment. It is important to use shampoo and hair conditioner with each shampoo, designed specifically for colored strands.

When washing your hair, you should use cool water, as hot and even warm more contribute to discoloration.
It is important to apply shampoo only to the root zone, as it requires rinsing, but is not afraid of pigment loss. It is important to nourish damaged curls at least once a week with masks containing the maximum amount of natural ingredients. In addition, do not forget about shortening the ends. If possible, you should limit the thermal effect, that is, the use of a hairdryer, ironing for hair and curling irons for curling curls.It will be good to make it a habit to use indelible oils and creams that are responsible for protecting light.
