What is the best way to dye your hair?
Before you decide to make any radical changesappearance, think carefully whether the color of the "raven's wing" suits you? After all, women of Slavic appearance are mostly fair-skinned, and not everyone can constantly visit a solarium or relax at resorts all year round. And black paint makes you even paler, you can even say that the face takes on an unhealthy greenish tint. As a result, all the shortcomings: wrinkles, pimples, redness appear even more pronounced. Aren't you afraid of the possible consequences? Then let's discuss the issue of the quality of paints and their use. Basma - natural hair dye We all know that natural products are better quality than artificial ones. One of these products is basma - a paint obtained from the leaves of the indigo plant. It is used in combination with henna or coffee, since in its pure form it can give a blue or even green tint. Basma contains components that not only color the hair, but also give it a healthy shine, stimulate growth, and protect against hair loss. The paint is produced in powder form, it must be used immediately after dilution. How to dye hair with basma?
- Take 50-100 grams of powder (depending on the length of the hair) and mix it with henna, in a 2: 1 ratio. If you add more henna in a larger amount, then the color turns out to be dark chestnut rather than black;
- Next, pour the mixture with boiling water, mix until the mush. Take care that there are no lumps. Cover the lid and wait for 30-40 minutes, until nastoyatsya;
- Now you can dye your hair. We put the paint first on the roots and the occipital part of the head. Then distribute the entire length. It's better if you invite a girlfriend or sister to help, because it's hard to paint the back of your head. Especially when the hair is thick and long;
- To obtain a saturated hue, leave the mixture at 1-1.5, then rinse with warm water.
The only drawback of this coloringThe disadvantage of this product is its short life, so you need to take better care of your hair. Try to use shampoos that contain natural and gentle ingredients. The same applies to balms and hair masks. To add shine and a richer color to your hair, it is recommended to use an infusion of the same basma and henna for rinsing. Pour boiling water (about one and a half liters) over the dye powders in equal proportions (25 grams). Let the solution cool, then strain through cheesecloth. This method will help you preserve your hair color and strengthen its roots. And one more nuance: after dyeing with basma, it is not recommended to use hair dye with a chemical composition - even if this dye is the best and most expensive. This can lead to unforeseen consequences.
