All About Estel Color Off Hair Remover

When a new shade of strands is bored and you want to return to a natural natural tone, professional tools come to the rescue. Estel Color Off hair wash is just such a composition. Among its obvious advantages is a special formula devoid of harmful and dangerous chemicals. Following the instructions for the use of acid wash, at home, you can easily and quickly regain the natural tone of curls.

Estel Color Off is made by a Russian brand specializing in hair care and dyeing products. Designed specifically for hairdressing professionals, the composition has the ability to quickly, efficiently and safely remove pigment of any saturation level. Its main difference from conventional brighteners is a more gentle phased effect on the structure of the hair.

No matter how paints intensive in their action are used, by washing them, their effect can be significantly neutralized, restoring the natural shade of the strands along the entire length. An acid base, more gentle than ammonia, avoids intense damage to the ends and hair shaft. Even black hair in several sessions can be made much brighter.

The principle of the Estel wash is quite simple. It destroys the pigments of artificial dye, without touching the natural pigments of her own hair. With the help of the tool, the effect of lightening is not achieved, the strands simply return to their original color parameters. With unsuccessful staining, you can immediately apply the product without waiting for a while.

It will not be possible to achieve the desired effect on strands treated with tinted shampoos and pigments of direct action. In this case, the color change may be unpredictable.

You should not expect miracles from the use of washing: discolored locks will not find their original tone, although they will be brought closer to it. At the same time, use on dark hair almost always gives a gradual manifestation of a reddish tint. The effectiveness of the use of the product directly depends on several factors:

• variety of dye: semi-permanent lends themselves more easily than permanent;
• the shade in which the hair is dyed: radical black and all shades of red are removed most difficult;
• the multiplicity of color changes performed: the more often the staining was repeated, the more likely the reuse of the wash;
• the length of the strands: on short, successful depigmentation is easier due to the fact that the tips did not get too much color;
• hair structure;
• Compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Everything is very individual, but the correct definition of all these factors in total gives the necessary result.

Estel Color Off, which is often positioned as a home decapitate, is sold in branded packages containing 3 components. The components included phosphoric acid, which gives a fairly persistent unpleasant odor. But it is precisely this that makes it possible to provide a really intense impact.

The chemical is effective. With its help, you can do both acid wash and deeper professional decapitation. This is achieved by the inclusion of 3 ingredients at once:

• reducing agent;
• a catalyst;
• color converter.

Each of them is contained in a numbered bottle, has a recognizable appearance. Depending on what the result is planned to be obtained, a combination of different ingredients may be needed. With a standard home acid wash, only bottles 1 and 2 are used. 3-5 procedures may be required to achieve the desired result. Then a neutralizer is applied.

Actual pros and cons of the drug are of great importance, because we are talking about a radical effect on the hair structure. Among the advantages of Estel Color Off are:

• high efficiency in dealing with unsuccessful color changes;
• ease of returning the original tone: the tool allows you to save your own regrown roots without subjecting them to depigmentation;
• lack of chemically aggressive components in the composition;
• excellent reaction speed: the result is visible in just 20 minutes;
• lack of restrictions on the use of staining: you can proceed to it after the neutralizer is used;
• ease of use;
• affordable cost;
• relatively tolerant odor compared to other formulations.

Not without flaws.

• For example, an emulsion is not able to cope with the removal of pigment, obtained using natural dyes: henna and basma.
• Another important point: There are no gloves in the box for working with chemicals.
• It is not possible to purchase goods freely: It is distributed by dealers working in the professional hairdressing market.
• If staining is not performed immediately, when wet, the hair spreads a strong chemical odor. This can be a problem when visiting the pool, sauna or just in contact with rain or snow.

Using the product is easy. Detailed instructions for using the wash at home can avoid the most common mistakes. To do the dipping yourself, It is worth studying the manufacturer's recommendations and strictly following them.

• In a non-metallic container, the contents of the first and second bottles are mixed, is brought to a homogeneous state without a pronounced separation into fractions.
• Starting from the rootsunwashed dry hair is carefully processed with the resulting thick mass. The applied product is aged for about 20 minutes.
• Dry paper or plain towel the mixture is carefully removed from each strand.
• Repeat the whole procedure again. Continue to do this until the shade comes closer to what you want. For a black base, at least 5 procedures are needed to make the changes obvious.
• Once the result is achieved, you need to take a bottle with a neutralizer and control the quality of pigment removal. For this, a test application of the product is carried out on one strand. If the dark color returns again, the neutralizer must be removed by washing it off with water. Then the washing process is repeated.
• Fixer application (neutralizer) is carried out on all hair if within 5-7 minutes the color of the control strand has not changed.

The final washing is done with water, during the procedure, you can additionally apply heat, foil the strands. Having completed the process, you can again dye the curls in the desired shade. To do this, it is recommended to use permanent dyes.

The reviews of professionals and amateurs in the case of the emulsion-washing Estel Color Off are positive. In almost all cases, it is a complex and serious process of transition from dyed black hair to more natural and natural tones. In addition, in the fight against persistent red pigments, this tool is also effective.

True, consumers note the duration of the procedure: it takes about 3 hours to achieve the result. And also indicate its complexity. Therefore, it is better to invite an assistant who will apply the composition and remove it from the hair.

Almost everyone agrees that conducting a home procedure is not a good idea. Strong chemical odor quickly spreads and persists for a long time in the confined space of the bathroom. In addition, the composition must be carefully dosed. One package is usually divided into 4-5 stages and spend them one by one. According to customers, this is rather tedious, but the result is definitely worth it.
