How to dye your hair with tinted means?

Changing the image implies not only the selection of new clothes and accessories, but also a change in hairstyle. You can dye your hair in several ways, on which the final result will depend. One of the easiest and safest options is a hair tonic.

Many girls who want to try on a new look on themselves are afraid to dramatically change their hair color and want to carry out this procedure in stages. In this they are helped tinted funds. Their main difference from resistant paint is that they are washed off without a trace, after a few washes of the head.

How tinting agents differ from paints:

• Durability. The paint retains brightness for one to two months and no longer completely leaves the hair, while the tonic is quickly washed off. On the other hand, if a lady doesn’t like the chosen shade, she can return the natural color only when using tinting agents.

• Saturation. When using balms and shampoos, you can change the hair color by 2-3 tones in both directions, while lightening them will be more difficult.Paints are used together with oxygen, which guarantees a lasting effect. Tonics guarantee a calmer shade, similar to natural. These colors look more natural.

• Structure. The paint contains ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and other chemical compounds that have a detrimental effect on the hair structure. And the composition of tinting agents includes natural dyes and natural components. Thanks to this, balms and shampoos dry and burn hair less.

The choice between paint and tonic is made depending on the goals pursued by the girl, since each remedy has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, many ladies start experimenting with hairstyle precisely with the application of tinted products, as this simplifies the selection of the perfect color and allows you to painlessly try on different images.

The cosmetics market offers a wide selection of tinting products from both foreign and domestic manufacturers. Each brand offers an original palette of colors. When buying, it should be borne in mind that products manufactured in Russia are cheaper, however, they are not always safe.

Popular tinting agents include:

• Estel. The products do not contain ammonia and peroxide, have a moisturizing effect on the hair through the use of natural extracts and a keratin complex.

• Schwarzkopf. A distinctive feature is ease of use: products are evenly and easily distributed over the surface of the hair. The composition includes a silver pigment that enhances cold shades of hair.

• Loreal. Careful cosmetics for hair coloring. Tinted shampoos contain herbal extracts, vitamins, and minerals.

• Wella. Shampoos and balms that are used in the complex to enhance and preserve color. The brand also offers products to maintain rich colors.

When buying, you should carefully read the composition, since inexpensive components can contain harmful components. High-quality tonic does not contain synthetic vents, chemical preservatives and animal products.

The fragility of the hair tonic raises the question of when it will be possible to renew the color. Due to the fact that the tool is almost harmless, it can be used often, as the shade begins to fade. Unlike persistent paint, which is not recommended to be used more often every 2-4 months, balms and shampoos can be applied to curls every 1.5-2 weeks.

Hue products are suitable for all girls, regardless of hair structure and color. When using tonic, you need to adhere to only one rule:

When the representative of the fair sex wants to give the painted curls a new shade, it is recommended to wait 4-5 days and only after this period apply the product. If you neglect this recommendation, you may not get the desired color. And in the worst case, the hair will be irreparably damaged: they will become dry, brittle and lifeless.

Tinting agents are not used to radically change the image. It is recommended to choose tonics that are close in tone to the natural color of the hair. So the result will be more lasting, and the curls will acquire a lively shine. Do not wait for the brunette to become the owner of blond hair, since tonics do not have an oxidizing agent and their effect is limited. Because the color palette for brown-haired women is limited.

On gray hair should choose dark shades - chestnut, black. As in the case of light strands, the shade will become more saturated. However, gray hair will not be completely toned: the product will be able to paint over only about 30% of the strands. Some difficulties are encountered by girls applying the remedy to highlighted curls. To remove the yellowness remaining after lightening, use a purple tonic and hold it for literally several minutes.

You can use tinted products after painting with henna. Completely remove the reddish tint will not work, but it will turn out to give it shine and radiance, to make it more natural. The same effect will occur after applying a tonic to artificial hair.

To dye your hair with tonic, you need to prepare a bowl of about two liters, rubber gloves, a special brush, shampoo and towels. The procedure is best done in old clothes, which will not be a pity to stain. Also cover the work surface with oilcloth or old newspapers. Before the procedure, it is recommended to apply a greasy cream on exposed skin.

Stages of applying tint toner:

• stir the product and water to a homogeneous consistency (their ratio is specified by the manufacturer);
• moisturize your hair with plain water;
• successively apply the product from the roots to the tips;
• after applying the tonic, it is necessary to comb the hair, beat the balm into a foam;
• rinse off the product with a mild shampoo; for a mild balm, it is enough to rinse the head with water.

The ease of use of the tonic makes it accessible to all girls. Even ladies who have never dyed their hair before can cope with the product. It should be applied to wet, not dry, strands. But washing your hair immediately before the procedure is optional - this will not give any effect. You can apply the product on both clean and dirty hair.

Tinting agents have a liquid consistency and can drain. In order not to stain furniture and things, it is better to stay in the bathtub or shower throughout the procedure, in which it will be easy to clean and wash stains. In addition, at first it is better not to go to bed with a wet head, otherwise the tonic will stain the pillow.

The saturation of the final color depends on the duration of the application of the tonic. The longer it is kept on the hair, the brighter the shade comes out:

• The basic time of the procedure is 15-25 minutes;
• With light tinting, it is enough to apply the product for 5 minutes;
• To obtain a more noticeable result, it is recommended to wash off the balm after 45-50 minutes.

However, this rule does not apply to all shades. Having overexposed the tonic of a non-standard tone, the girl runs the risk of getting an unexpected result: her hair can acquire a green or yellow hue, even if the original balm was a completely different color.

Ombre is popular with fashionistas around the world. This type of staining involves changing the color of only the tips. If previously grown roots of a different shade were considered a sign of bad taste, now girls specifically choose hairstyles, which are based on a combination of several shades in the upper and lower parts of the head.

When choosing a tonic, the basic tone of the hair is taken into account. Almost all variegated shades are suitable for blondes and owners of light brown curls: you can choose pink, lilac, blue or use several colors at the same time.Brunettes, on the contrary, can take a light tonic to get a contrast. Red strands will look spectacular on black hair.

The procedure for applying the balm on the tips differs little from painting the entire head. After the preparatory phase, it is recommended to apply the product on one strand to check how the color will look on the hair.

If the result is satisfactory, it is necessary to determine what length will be painted, and from this line apply the product from top to bottom. You can carry out the procedure with a brush or comb. After the tonic, they hold the necessary amount of time and rinse off.

You can learn about the sophisticated technique that even professional stylists use, from the following video:

Toning does not imply a radical change in image. This is a gentle procedure in which the product does not penetrate deep into the hair structure and envelops it from the outside, creating a special film. Staining occurs due to the action of natural components, which do not include aggressive chemical compounds, because the curls remain alive and obedient.

The procedure involves applying the product to individual strands from roots to ends. You should evenly distribute the balm, applying it to curls from the inside and outside. To give the hair shine, just hold the tonic for 5 minutes. When using several colors, they must be applied immediately one after another, so as not to overexpose the first shade.

Brave, risky girls can become owners of colorful, non-standard shades. In the toner palette there are colors such as green, purple, scarlet. They will look especially saturated on a light basis; brunettes and brown-haired women can only get hair with bright tints visible in the light. The disadvantage of extreme tones is that they are washed off faster and require special care.

When using toners in bright colors, it is recommended to use special shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. To fix the color, you can use home remedies: even lemon juice diluted with ordinary water is suitable for this purpose. It must be applied to the hair and washed off.

Coloring hair in non-standard shades requires a change of wardrobe. Red or blue hair will become the complement of an informal outfit and help to set color accents. And tonics of gentle pastel shades (pink, turquoise) will give the image a romance, femininity.

The difference between the tonic and the hair dye is its fragility. The latter retains color saturation for up to a month and does not go off the strands to the end. Balm holds much less; depending on the type of product, it can be washed off after 3-4 head washes.

Tonics are divided into types, taking into account their durability:

• Sparing. Such shampoos are washed off after 1-2 weeks.
• Easy action. Hold from 2 weeks to a month.
• Deep action. Color lasts up to 8 weeks.

To keep the curls as bright as possible, you need to follow a few tips:

• First, if possible, wash your hair less often;
• Secondly, it is better to do this in cool, and not too hot water;
• You should also avoid walking in the rain, because then the tonic can leak.

Dye your hair with gloves and, if possible, do not leave exposed skin. However, it is not always possible to carry out the procedure completely neatly, especially if the girl is using the product for the first time. The tonic will be washed off after a few days. When you urgently need to remove it (for example, from the face or), it is enough to use any alcohol-containing solution.

There are other ways to cleanse your skin:

• Apply a thin layer of toothpaste, rinse off the residue after drying.
• To achieve greater efficiency using a mixture of pasta, oil, lemon juice and soda in equal proportions.
• Take a bath with orange oil, milk (half a liter is enough) and the juice of three lemons.
• You can wash your scalp with an ordinary shampoo, adding a little soda to it. The composition must be rubbed into the hair with light massaging movements, and then washed off.

It also happens that a girl does not like the final hair color. In this case, wash your hair as soon as possible. Effectively get rid of tonic will help yogurt or other dairy products. The drink is applied to the hair, wrap it with cellophane and leave for 2 hours. If necessary, the procedure should be repeated.

Cleaning with baking soda is used in especially difficult cases. It is necessary to add water to it and apply to the strands for 10-15 minutes. The solution is able to dry hair, so resorting to it too often is not worth it. After the procedure, it is recommended to use a moisturizing balm.

Tinted balms are popular both among teenage girls who first decided to experiment with a haircut, and among mature ladies who want to renew a boring color. Representatives of the fair sex note the harmlessness of the funds, some report that the hair becomes softer and more obedient due to the vitamins and natural components that make up the composition.

Many girls switch to tonics after an unsuccessful experience with persistent paints. The tonic allows you to remove the yellowness after highlighting, give the shade a natural look. Fashionistas also note a rich color scheme, a variety of products from different brands, which simplifies the selection of funds taking into account the tastes and preferences of the lady. Among the best balms, customers call "ROKOLOR", Concept, Irida, Londa.
