What is the best way to dye your hair?
Before deciding to radically changeappearance, well think, will the color of the "crow's wing" suit you? After all, women of Slavic appearance are mostly Caucasian, and it's not always possible to constantly visit a solarium or relax at resorts all year round. And black paint gives even more pallor, even you can say that the face gets an unhealthy greenish shade. As a result, all the disadvantages: wrinkles, pimples, redness manifest even more. Not afraid of possible consequences? Then let's discuss the quality of paints and their application. Basma - a natural hair dye We all know that natural products are more qualitative than artificial ones. One of these products is basma - a paint obtained from the leaves of an indigo plant. It is used in conjunction with henna or coffee, because in its pure form can give a blue or even green tint. Basma contains components that not only color the hair, but also give them a healthy shine, stimulate growth, protect against falling out. The paint is produced in powder, it should be used immediately after the dilution. How to paint 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 coloringmeans it is short-lived, so you need to take care of hair carefully. Try to use shampoos containing natural and sparing ingredients. The same applies to balsams and hair masks. To make the hair shine and more saturated color, it is recommended to use infusion of the same basma and henna for rinsing. Pour boiling water (liter of one and a half) of paint powders in equal proportions (25 grams). Allow the solution to cool, then strain through gauze. This method will help you to keep the hair color and strengthen their roots. And one more nuance: after painting with basma, it is not recommended to use hair dye with chemical composition - even this paint is the best and expensive. This can lead to unforeseen consequences.
