A hair wash is done in order to return the original color after unsuccessful hair coloring, change the tone or remove the accumulation of color pigment on the hair with frequent dyeing in the same color.

For washing, chemical preparations or folk remedies are used. The result will largely depend on the structural structure of the hair, the color of the dye, the quality of the dye, the color of its natural strands and, of course, the washing technique. If you want to wash off the dye of light shades, then you can do with a surface wash, and if you have to make the darker range of dyes lighter, you will have to use professional preparations.

Washing can be superficial, deep and natural, the difference between them is as follows.

Coloring pigments are removed only from the surface layers of the hair shaft, while its inner layers are not affected. This gentle wash will help change the shade of the strands to a lighter, but only 1-2 tones. Only acidic components act as active substances, without the use of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.

This is a professional remover for paint of any color using chemicals containing ammonia or hydrogen peroxide. These components penetrate deep into the hair shaft and radically remove dye pigments. Deep decapitation consists in the fact that under the influence of the preparation the coloring pigment molecule is compressed to very small sizes or completely destroyed, which facilitates its washing out from under the hair scales.

Such a procedure should be performed. professional craftsman since with improper use of chemicals, it is very possible to overdry and injure the hair. Immediately after staining, washing can not be done, you will have to wait at least two weeks, and only then proceed with the procedure.

All these components greatly dry out not only the hair, but also the scalp, so after such washes, you need to make nourishing masks with oils and moisturizing components so that your hair does not fade and does not break off.
