Features of shade means
First of all, it is worth saying that anyTinting agents do not interact with the internal structure of the hair - they affect only the outer shell. Each time during the process of washing the head, such a dye is gradually washed out, so no boundaries between the dyed and regrown strands will be visible; and at the same time, the curls will always be shiny and have a pleasant shade. It is also important that modern tinting products contain a number of nourishing and caring components that provide the hair with a healthy and beautiful look, moisturizing and nourishing each hair. However, these products also have some disadvantages, the main one of which is low durability. They last on the hair for no more than three weeks - for those people who often wash their hair, this is not very convenient, because they will have to touch up their hair every two weeks. On the other hand, this allows you to experiment, creating new images. Many girls use tinting agents to make sure that a particular shade suits them, and if the chosen color turns out to be successful, they buy a permanent dye with the same shade. It is important to note that non-permanent dyes allow you to dye your hair in tones that are close to the "natural" or slightly darker; you won't be able to give your hair a lighter shade, but you can achieve the effect of slightly burnt-out hair, which looks no less attractive.
Tone the hair yourself
Now it's time to talk about howhair toning is carried out. For this, you can use special ammonia-free dyes, toning shampoos, and also some health toning complexes. Health products contain special components that allow you not only to dye your hair, but also to nourish it, saturating it with vitamins and useful microelements. As a result, the curls become even smoother and shinier, and there is no trace of damage, brittleness and dryness. The process of home toning itself is not particularly difficult. To carry out the dyeing, you will need a high-fat cream and gloves - this will protect the skin from coloring pigments. The cream is applied to the neck, forehead and ears. Before dyeing your hair, you need to wash it and dry it a little, then the dyeing will be more effective. In the case of ammonia-free dye, hair toning is carried out in the same way as with simple dyeing. Be sure to read the instructions that come with the cosmetic product! Each dye is unique and requires special requirements: some tonics should be applied in a thicker layer, while others need to be left on the hair longer. Apply the product evenly to the hair - the entire length of the hair should be covered with tint dye. It is best to distribute the product over the hair using a comb, which should never be metal. It is not necessary to dye all of your hair; you can change the color of some strands - it will look no less stylish. After the product is applied to the hair, you need to massage your head thoroughly so that the product sets better. Then, after the required time, wash off the dye with regular shampoo. That's all the wisdom - your hair is dyed! When toning using shampoo, the process is carried out in several stages. First, you need to wash your hair. Then apply the tint shampoo to your hair, distribute it evenly over the curls and leave for a few minutes. The duration of the toning procedure can be different - It all depends on how bright and saturated the color you want to get. The acquired color will wash out gradually, so you should not worry about the regrown roots - as we have already said, the difference will not be noticeable. You can experiment and use several shades for coloring. However, it is not recommended to take more than three tones, otherwise the hair will look unnatural. If you use a tint mousse or foam for toning, then they should be applied to slightly damp hair. The peculiarity of such mousses and foams is that they are much easier to apply, and the shade is brighter. Recently, special coloring sprays have appeared on store shelves that change the color of hair in just a couple of minutes and do not require rinsing.
Which shade to choose?
Girls who have naturally light hair colorhair, can make it more saturated, bright and shiny. For example, ash or light brown hair can be given a beautiful chocolate or chestnut shade. A delicate honey shade looks no less advantageous on light brown hair, but reddish or purple will suit those with dark brown or chestnut hair. Girls whose locks are light brown are incredibly lucky - they can safely experiment with their hair, lightening it or making it darker. You can also tint dark hair, but only if you first lighten individual locks. If you add a couple of dark strands to your natural color, then bleaching will not be necessary - it will be enough to choose one or two shades that are close in tone to the natural one. This method allows you to make your hair more voluminous, while significantly enlivening its appearance. But blondes are even luckier - They can afford to give their locks any shade, from honey to dark chocolate and even black. But it is important to remember that too dark shades do not always go well with delicate fair skin and light eyebrows and eyes, so such coloring will not look advantageous; on the contrary, the image will turn out unnatural and even somewhat vulgar. Hairdressers and stylists recommend that blonde girls opt for bronze, light brown or sand shades. The toning procedure can be combined with highlighting - this is suitable for both light and dark hair. You need to select several strands for coloring and give them a color that is close to the main one. Toning carried out after highlighting allows colored hair to “play” even more in the sun, shimmering with bright highlights. Toning looks especially good after highlighting on light hair - as a result, an even more saturated and noble color is obtained. The first time you do highlights, it’s better to go to a professional hairdresser – he will tell you how to do it correctly, and in the future you will be able to change your image yourself.
How to avoid failures in self-toning
If you want to try the toning procedureon your hair, it will be useful for you to know some nuances. For example, some tinting products "conflict" with henna, the pigments of which are firmly absorbed into the hair structure, like any other permanent dyes. Therefore, the result of the tinting may not be what was originally planned. If you have a lot of gray hair, then when using tinting dyes, you should also be especially careful - in most cases, such dyes are ineffective, so it is better to use permanent dye to paint over gray hair. Before tinting, you should make your hair healthier. Use professional cosmetics for this: balms, special health masks, conditioners. Then the hair will become more well-groomed, and the dye will lie on it more evenly. And the best thing is to do keratin hair treatment.
The rules of hair care
Any coloring involves exposurevarious chemical components on the scalp and the hair itself. To minimize the negative impact of this procedure, it is worth providing the curls with additional care. Some folk recipes are ideal for this. If you often dye your hair and want to strengthen it, it is recommended to wash your hair with a simple egg mixture. To prepare it, take two eggs and break them into a glass, then add warm water there. Mix everything, while making sure that the eggs do not curdle. After that, apply the resulting mixture to wet hair and massage the scalp. Rinse. To enhance the effect of such a mask, you can rub the egg yolk into the roots of the hair and wrap your head in a terry towel for 10-20 minutes, then rinse the curls with warm water. Egg foam, which is prepared on the basis of yolks - they just need to be beaten well, will help moisturize colored hair and add shine. This mixture is applied to dry or damp hair. You need to wait 10 minutes and rinse with warm water (never hot). The number of yolks you use depends on the thickness and length of your hair. On average, 2-3 yolks are enough. It is recommended to do this procedure several times a week. If your hair is very dry, you can use egg foam every time before washing your hair. Rinsing with lemon juice is great for restoring and revitalizing hair. You can also use regular vinegar instead of lemon; but you will have to rinse your hair longer after using vinegar — it has a very sharp and persistent smell. After this rinse, your hair will become soft and elastic, more shiny. It is also recommended to rub burdock oil into your scalp, and apply coconut or cocoa oils to the ends of your hair, which effectively nourish and strengthen the hair structure. Tinting is a way to always look stylish, an opportunity to experiment and change, surprising others with your new looks. And the above hair care tips will help you always keep it in perfect condition, which is very important, because hair is the main decoration of every girl.
