How to dye your hair with a tonic?

Do you want to change something in your own appearance? Tired of your hair color, but do not want to change dramatically? This issue is especially acute in the spring, when the fair sex begins to get rid of warm and shapeless winter clothes.

With the advent of warm spring days, I want to look brighter, more attractive and more interesting. In addition to clothing, appearance also plays a significant role.

Probably, every girl at least once in her life decided to dye her hair, but the result did not always live up to expectations. In order not to regret what you have done and not be upset, you can seek help from professional masters in beauty salons or hairdressers. But there is not always time and opportunity to find time and go to "bring beauty". Why not try dyeing your hair yourself at home, and it is best to start this kind of experiment with lighter and more smoky remedies - tonics.

Due to the special composition of the components, the tonic does not injure the hair as much as paints with ammonia.Hair tonic is a coloring agent with which you can change the color of your hair (not drastically, but a couple of shades in comparison with your natural tone) for several weeks. Great for those who are trying for the first time and are not yet ready for drastic changes or just want to experiment with changing their appearance.

Advantages of tonic for coloring:

1. The almost complete absence of ammonia contributes to gentle coloring and does not violate the structure of the hair.
2. The presence of a vitamin complex helps to care for hair, nourishes and moisturizes. Hair becomes light, manageable, shiny, silky and soft to the touch.
3. Opportunity to experiment in search of the ideal image.
4. If the result is unsuccessful, you can quickly remove the shade that turned out after applying the tonic. Using the advice of users of the World Wide Web and the recommendations of professional hairdressers-stylists, you can use masks to remove the resulting shade or modify it by 1-2 tones.
5. Saving money.

Disadvantages of using a tint tonic as a coloring agent:

1. Short-term effect (however, many girls attribute this criterion to the benefits, because you can change your appearance almost every month).
2. Poor quality components or improper use of products leave marks on clothing that are difficult or impossible to remove.

The fair sex dyes their hair for various reasons: someone wants to hide their gray hair, someone wants to change their appearance, and someone just wants to stand out from the crowd and resort to extreme changes.What to choose: paint or tonic? Both the tinting agent and the paint are used to color the hair. They differ in the degree of safety, effectiveness of application, brightness or naturalness of the result.

If you want a bright and saturated color, then paint will be the best option. However, you should carefully approach the choice of paint, pay attention to the composition, read reviews and recommendations of hair stylists. For those who seek experimentation, it is better to use a tonic. The tinting agent will emphasize the naturalness and natural shine of the hair.

The duration of the effect depends on a number of factors, among which one can note the type of tinting agent, the brand and the characteristics of the products it produces.

Types of tonics:

1. With a mild degree of impact (foams or shampoos with a tinted balm, moisturizing tonic booster). Within two weeks, toning is washed off. This type is a great option for experimental girls who are looking for something new to express themselves. It can be a shade close to your natural hair color to bring it to life, or it can be bold and original enough (for example, different shades of pink, lilac, blue and ashy).
2. With a deep degree of impact (professional-type ammonia-free paints), which stay on the hair for up to two months. The absence of ammonia allows the use of such paints even during pregnancy.

The proposed palette of colors is able to satisfy the wishes of any young lady. However, when choosing a tinting agent, it must be remembered that the same tone names from different manufacturers can give significantly different results.

Companies involved in the manufacture of tinting balms and shampoos, as well as paints that do not contain ammonia, offer the attention of modern society not only natural shades, but also very bold options. Do you want to surprise others, do you want to make a splash at a party? Feel free to choose tonics of bright and unusual tones: pink, raspberry, red, purple, lilac, blue, blue, neon light green, bright green, eggplant, gray, plum and others.

For supporters of naturalness, there is a palette:

1. for blondes - pearl ash, creme brulee, vanilla, mother-of-pearl, smoky pink, fawn;
2. for brunettes - black, chocolate, ripe cherries, golden chestnut, cinnamon;
3. for brown-haired women - mahogany, wild plum, red amber, burgundy.

When can you start dyeing your hair? This question is often asked among teenage girls. Of course, due to their age, girls often do not ask their mothers for advice, but make decisions on their own, and no arguments that paints are unsafe can stop them from implementing their plans. In this case, you can approach the issue differently and persuade the child to try tinting agents.

In the component composition of the tonic, ammonia is either completely absent or present in a minimal amount, so you don’t have to worry that it is harmful to health. This tool is considered absolutely safe. Can be used even during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

When choosing any cosmetic product, including for dyeing / tinting hair, you need to focus on the color type of appearance.Often, the packaging indicates the shade of color that will result. However, do not forget that there is only a picture on a cardboard package or a plastic bottle, and the real color on the hair can differ significantly.

According to the recommendations and advice of hair stylists, there are no restrictions on the use of ammonia-free paints or tinting balms / shampoos. The exception is perm, henna and basma staining. After these procedures, it is necessary to pause for several months.

You can completely tint your hair or just the tips at home. If the staining procedure is more complicated, you need to use the services of a professional master for proper and uniform coloring. But you can tint your hair yourself.

In this case, you need to remember a few rules:

1. you can not tint hair after henna or basma;
2. you can not perform the procedure for a recently done perm;
3. tinting agents are often used to paint over gray hair (the color may lie unevenly, you may have to mix several shades);
4. blondes need to carefully and carefully select the tone to remove yellowness;
5. in case of an unsuccessful result (for example, too red or yellow hair turned out, the tone did not lie evenly, a different shade at the ends, etc.), as well as to remove yellowness, reddish-red or another shade, folk remedies are often resorted to;
6. do not use a hair tonic when coloring eyebrows, artificial hair is also not tinted;
7. highlighted hair after tonic can become unnatural in color;
8. when painting in bright colors, follow the recommendations of the manufacturers.

To tint your hair at home, you will need gloves, shampoo, a couple of towels, a coloring brush, a plastic container, a comb with rare teeth, and a tinting agent.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Do not apply tonic to dirty hair. It is necessary to wash the hair and dry it slightly. Ammonia-free paint / tinting agent is applied to dry or slightly damp hair.
2. Using a special brush, apply the product to the hair and distribute along the entire length, for this you need a comb with rare teeth.
3. Hold the required time.
4. Rinse off the tonic with warm water until the water is clean and clear.
5. Dyed hair can be rinsed with lemon water or a tint balm can be applied to fix the color.
6. To wipe the tonic off the skin, just wipe it with a damp towel. If the paint is strongly “ingrained” into the skin, ordinary yogurt will come in handy.

Only by adhering to these rules, the hair after toning will look beautiful. The tone will lie evenly and even on yellow hair a beautiful shade will appear.

Hair tinting is different from the coloring procedure, because the products used are safe for the hair, they do not penetrate inside. However, do not neglect the advice and recommendations from manufacturers, which are usually indicated in the instructions for use.

For light toning, slightly reduce the time interval.And if you want a more persistent and saturated color, then you can slightly overexpose the tonic on your hair.

Often, women wonder how long tinting lasts on their hair. It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally and name any specific figure, because The effectiveness of the procedure is influenced by various factors:

1. the type of tool used;
2. hair structure and natural (original) color;
3. the selected shade of tinting agent and trademark;
4. method of applying tonic (independently at home or by professional craftsmen in beauty salons).

Gray hair is the very unpleasant moment that will upset every woman, regardless of her age. What to do if the gray hair stubbornly “silver”, but do not want to use resistant paints that can damage the hair structure. Toning agents will come to the rescue.

According to statistics, only 30% of gray hair can be hidden with tonics. Of course, it is worth trying and seeing for yourself how effective these tools will be. However, do not count on a long and stunning effect. Tonic as a hair coloring agent removes only part of the gray hairs. Even the cheapest drugs can cope with this task.

With each wash, the shade is washed off, and gray hair appears again. Unfortunately, it's a vicious circle. You can try to resort to the help of more expensive products of well-known brands.But the effectiveness of painting over gray hair does not depend only on the type of tonic, the structure and features of the hair itself also play a significant role.

At the present time, the choice of various cosmetics is simply huge. Among the most popular tinting agents, the following brands can be distinguished:

1. L'Oreal (Loreal) Professional;
2. Schwarzkopf (Schwarzkopf) Professional;
3. Estel (Estelle);
4. Irida (Irida);
5. Rocolor;
6. Belita (Belita) Lux Color;
7. Jungle Fever (Jungle Fever);
8. Acme Color (Acme Color).

Shades of Nordic blond, mountain ash, as well as Manic Panic with black tonic and others are very popular.

Having studied more than a dozen reviews about the effectiveness of tinting agents for hair coloring, several facts can be distinguished. For example, most of the reviews say that tonics are harmless to human health. They are also affordable, do not require special knowledge and skills, even for home use. However, the result does not always live up to expectations, the shade may sometimes not be the same as we would like.

When choosing a tinting agent or ammonia-free paint, it is important to pay attention to the manufacturer and follow the recommendations of hair stylists.
