How to quickly wash off the tonic from the hair?

Sometimes, in order to see themselves in a new hair color, the fair sex buys tinted shampoos or tonics - they are much softer than paints and do not damage the top layer. It also happens that tinting products give unpredictable reactions on the hair in the form of a green or blue tint. In this case, the product must be washed off. We will talk about methods for safely washing off tonics below.

Tonic is a light hair dye that stays on the hair for several weeks (depending on how often the hair is washed). But it happens that the paint gets into the deeper layers of the skin, and it is already quite problematic to wash it off. Additional difficulties arise if the color is gray and the curls have faded. In such situations, the remedy is removed with special masks that can be prepared at home.

Tonic for painting hair has its advantages:

1. Ease of use. The product does not emit pungent odors and is easy to apply. The instructions are very simple and written step by step. Coloring the strands takes thirty minutes, the pigment itself is applied quickly and removed 15 minutes after application;
2. Washes off easily. The composition has inclusions that do not affect the deeper layers of the hair. (the main thing is that the curls are not damaged).The paint is washed out quickly, in several applications, if the hair on the head is not overdried;
3. Does not damage dry and bleached hair. Tint paints have a gentle composition, which is why stylists advise using a tonic. If you want to not only change the shade of your hair, but keep your hair healthy, then it is better to use a tinting shampoo. Sometimes a leave-in activator is sold along with the tonic to improve growth.

However, there are also disadvantages:

1. The tool may give an unexpected color. To be honest in this matter, it is necessary to explain: as a hair tonic is easily washed off, it also easily gives an unpredictable reaction on curls. This is due to certain components that can change color in an amazing way. For example, if you use a cold tint to remove yellowness, the final color may be green - as the blue pigment on yellow hair will give just such an effect. The brand must be chosen with care. To cover the occasional green color, you need to use a shampoo with a red pigment;
2. Tonic does not hold well on healthy, uncolored hair. Healthy hairs have a uniform texture - the scales adhere tightly to each other, therefore, at the first application, the tinting agent may not paint over the curls at all. If this happens, you must repeat the procedure and next time hold the product for 15 minutes longer;
3. Washes out for a long time. The opposite effect occurs if the curls are severely damaged and the top layer of hair completely absorbs the dye. It is more difficult if the paint gave the wrong color, then the wash will have to be used several times.

When using a hair tonic, a problem arises: the paint gets on the skin of the hands, face and neck. How to wash such a remedy if it has already eaten into the epidermis? The best action in such a situation is simply to prevent it from getting on the skin. Before painting, apply baby cream or any oil to the hands and other parts of the body. The protective layer will not allow the paint to get on the skin. And after all the coloring actions, you just need to remove the excess cream and rinse your hands.

Paint from the scalp can be washed off with regular shampoo by adding a spoonful of soda to it. Such a composition should be gently rubbed, and washed off after a few minutes. If the tonic is all over the body (this also happens quite often), you can make a bath by adding orange oil, half a liter of milk and the juice of three lemons to it. Such a relaxation will not only whiten the skin, but also cleanse it of additional impurities, give it radiance.

You can remove impurities from your face with toothpaste. Apply a thin layer of paste on the skin, and wash off the residue after drying. The color will come off and the skin will brighten. Another way is to use a mixture of lemon juice, oil, paste and soda in equal proportions.

Stains on the fabric must be removed immediately.The paint on the clothes should be wetted with a solution of powder and soda, left for 15 minutes, then washed - there will be no dirt left, and the clothes will be saved.

The hair tonic has a mild effect on the hair structure, has tint components and stays on the hair for two to four weeks. For about seven days, the color remains on a healthy, previously unpainted hair. The effect lasts for a long time if the curls are damaged - then the paint penetrates much deeper. In order to wash off the tonic, you need to use special masks that are easy to prepare at home.

Tonic on bleached hair is washed off for a long time (about several weeks). Blond hair is deprived of the top protective layer. When painting, the agent not only penetrates inside, but also serves as that protective layer. In addition, with an unfavorable shade, for example, blue - curls will keep it longer than ordinary paint - such colors are poorly washed out, due to the fact that blue is one of the deepest shades, and its coloring pigments literally eat into the root layers.

You can remove the shade you don’t like from bleached curls using home remedies. Perfectly suited, for example, the composition of special oils and lemon juice. It will be possible to wash off the paint from bleached hair due to the moisturizing and nourishing effect of oils - only by nourishing the inner layers of the hairs, the shade can be easily removed.

Keep the mask on for about an hour. Then wash off with any soap solution.

There are also additional hair care products that are applied after dyeing.If, for some reason, you do not want to use homemade color wash recipes, then you can buy Retonika, (a specialized mask from Tonic) or use a product from companies such as estel "Color Off", Nouvelle or "Eclair Clair" from L' Oral Paris.

According to the girls, the best way to wash the tonic from the hair is soda masks with oils. Most agree that if such a composition is overexposed, it does not affect the hair in any way. As stylists emphasize, the “wild plum” shade is best washed off with lemon masks, using hair balms. The girls agree: tonics sometimes give a wide variety of shades (not the most pleasant ones), but soft cleansing with kefir helps to gradually lighten the curls, which looks natural and safe.

Separately, the use of alcohol in masks is emphasized: according to reviews, the hair is damaged even more, it becomes brittle and dry, so alcohol tinctures should be used carefully so as not to cause even more harm.
