Tinted hair balm

Women always strive to try new images on themselves, but some manipulations with hair do not always give a positive result: they weaken, break and begin to fall out. So that a cardinal transformation does not cause much harm to the curls, you can use a tint hair balm.

Tint tonics, shampoos and balms have a number of undeniable advantages, but the most important plus of such products is in their composition. It is a combination of gentle ingredients that do not penetrate deep into the hair structure and do not destroy them from the inside. After using the tonic, the curls retain their shine and silkiness, do not become brittle and dull.

Balms for toning have a number of features. Some of them are positive, others are negative. After analyzing them all, you can easily understand whether this method of staining suits you or not.

1. Surface coloring. The coloring pigments of the balm do not penetrate into the hair, but are placed on its surface.On the one hand, this is good, since the structure remains intact, and the formed film creates a protective barrier. But on the other hand, this color is extremely unstable and is completely washed off after 5-10 times (depending on the brand).
2. The opportunity to experiment. With the help of tonic balms, you can safely try a new shade. If one does not fit, you can simply stop using this tool, after a couple of weeks the natural hair color will return. The exact period during which the staining effect remains is indicated on the package. Some balms remain on the hair for up to 2 months.
3. Healthy shine. The most popular brands of tint balms have a soft and gentle effect. Thanks to this, the curls do not become brittle over time. On the contrary, they are soft, silky and glossy, as well as easy to comb. Only some of the tonic balms slightly dry out the hair, after which you need to use emollients and moisturizers.
4. Balm is able to change hair color by 1 - 3 tones. And the effect will be predictable if you haven’t used paints and haven’t done a perm before. Otherwise, you can get completely unpredictable results. In addition, the owners of light curls - dyed or natural - should be treated with caution in relation to such funds. In this case, preference should be given to soft shades close to the original color of the head. In addition, it is worth understanding that a tonic balm-tonic can make the color a little darker, but not vice versa.

All tint balms can be divided into several groups:

1. Neutralizing tinting agents for light hair. They are also used to color gray hair that turns yellowish over time. This unattractive yellowness is easily neutralized by regular use of a violet pigment. Such products do not need to be kept on the hair, they are washed off immediately. After a while, you can see that the curls acquire a beautiful ashy hue without a hint of yellow oxidation.
2. Tinted balms that give the original color depth, richness and shine. It is impossible to change the color of the hair with this type of product, it contains a small amount of pigment. Such products can be found in many lines that are aimed at maintaining and saturating the color of curls that are already dyed with resistant paint.
