All about Palette hair dyes

For more than half a century, Palette hair dyes have been successfully sold in Germany and in 50 other countries around the world, demonstrating their popularity among women who prefer to tidy up their hair on their own. The original formula has been improved over the years, the composition, the palette of colors and shades have changed. But the reviews for the products created by the German company Schwarzkopf always sound in a positive way, also due to the high level of quality control that allows the standardization of products manufactured around the world.

In Russia, the brand produces the Fitolinia lightening paint and other popular Palette series, which allow you to select shades taking into account the types of appearance characteristic of the inhabitants of the northern countries. Cold tones, which are given by delicate blonde compositions, copper and red, chocolate and raven colors - the palette of colors is so diverse that it allows ladies with early gray hair to find their solution, and those who are dissatisfied with the external data presented by nature. But paying attention to the bright individuality of the compositions, do not forget that each product has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

From the first days of its production, German hair dye Palette is made from the highest quality natural raw materials and chemical ingredients that are carefully selected. The manufacturer pays great attention to these points, the composition is regularly replenished with new useful ingredients.Among the most popular is avocado oil, a valuable source of fatty acids that can saturate hair with shine, make it vibrant and strong. In addition, the composition contains orange tree oil and argan - natural antiseptics that have the ability to regulate the oiliness of the scalp.

Herbal extracts are also not forgotten by the manufacturer. In the Fitolinia series, Palette specialists went for an unprecedented experiment, using the power of plants as the main ingredient in the coloring composition. The result of this symbiosis was the emergence of products that can not only change color, but also heal hair.

Under the Palette brand, there are three types of dye formulations for hair care.

• Tint or light tint. Gel formulations give the claimed color for a short time. It can be completely washed off after 6-8 shower sessions. The shade line is focused on the current base tones. The paints are distinguished by a gentle effect, penetration into the hair is excluded, allowing for minimal destructive contact with the structure of the strands.

• Semi-resistant. They are washed off one month after staining, they allow you to change the shade by 1-2 steps, but not the tone. The series of products is called Color & Gloss, and they are viewed more as caring, allowing to saturate curls with shine and shine.

• Persistent. The color will remain unchanged for several months - this is exactly the promise Palette makes to its fans. All the most popular series of products of this German brand have a formula that is resistant to washing out. But as the roots grow back, the hair will have to be tinted anyway.

Among the advantages that Palette paints have, a number of characteristics can be distinguished.

1. Budget cost. The brand's products are indeed designed for the mass market segment, but at the same time they are created in a convenient format and have a wide network of distributors throughout the country.
2. Full quality control. There is a hotline for consumers, all products are tested, ingredients meet the most stringent European standards.
3. Wide range of colors and shades. Depending on the series, these can be popular, natural or fashionable colors.
4. The presence of natural, useful and nourishing components in the composition. Natural oils help protect hair during coloring, make it easier to comb, and give the effect of recovery after it.
5. Maximum ease of use. Even an inexperienced person can handle it.
6. Thick texture. The paint has a creamy structure, does not flow, and adheres perfectly to the hair. You can easily calculate the consumption of the composition, taking into account the length of the hair - curls up to the shoulders will require the purchase of a second package of the product.
7. Continuous improvement of the formula. Those who have not changed the brand over the years see this very well.
8. The effectiveness of painting gray hair. Almost all Palette paints do this 100%.
9. Variety of levels of durability. You can choose the maximum or minimum, which washes off after several dozen shower visits.

Not without its drawbacks. At Palette, they, like most persistent dyes, are quite uniform. In most series, the composition contains ammonia, which gives a strong unpleasant odor to the product applied to the hair. The problem is partially solved by the presence of ammonia-free products.

Among the Palette products there are lines of products for tint coloring or radical changes in hair color. Each of them has its own characteristics - in the application, the intensity of the impact, the range of tones obtained.

Originally created as an alternative to harsh ammonia dyes, brightening and toning, depending on the choice of the series, "Fitolinia" Palette made it possible to make hair coloration sparing. It contains natural extracts of useful plants, oils, including those obtained from argan, jojoba. Moreover, they are added both to the conditioner and to the dyeing mixture itself, which also minimizes the risks of negative manifestations from the skin, keeps the curls healthy.

The "Fitolinia" series with a lightening effect has also been highlighted, which allows you to carefully bleach the hair to the desired shade. It contains both fashionable warm and traditional cold colors. And thanks to the ease of application, total hair lightening ceases to be an exclusively salon procedure.

The mousse paints gray hair well, allows you to perform a radical change in color, the durability of the achieved result will last for 2 months. The line includes blonding compositions and coloring agents. The latter make it possible to provide fast and efficient coloring in the most popular shades.

Today Palette mousses have evolved into a separate line of Schwarzkopf products.

The original series of formulations without ammonia. The Perfect Care line contains a collection of 21 fashionable shades - from platinum blonde to black, with a variety of colors. The composition differs from most analogues in the features of its application. It is used after each shampooing; a special balm helps to fix the staining result.

In the manufacturer's catalog it has already been replaced by “Intense Color”, but you can still find classic packaging with a recognizable brand design on sale. Despite the price higher than that of similar products in the mass market segment, the bright purple boxes contained a very minimalistic set of dye base and developer, supplemented with disposable gloves, and the manufacturer's instructions.

Appeared as an improved version of the classic line for gray, colored and natural hair, Palette Intense Color cream paint allows you to get the most persistent, expressive, radiant result. The standard set is supplemented with a special balm that allows you to soften contact with a rather harsh coloring agent. The line is suitable for painting gray hair, contains 32 trendy solid colors.

The composition, in comparison with the classic formula, contains up to 20% more caring components. Keratin, panthenol in the dye base, Nutri oil in the conditioner create a double effect that was previously unattainable. Care after staining is included in the series for the first time - previously such components were not included in the kit, since the series was initially considered budgetary.

The Palette Deluxe series of permanent dyes is designed for those who want to radically change the color of their hair.The deep penetration of pigments into the hair structure allows them to provide really impressive coloring results. The saturated tone will lose its brightness not earlier than after 2 months... The manufacturer's dyeing kit includes a sachet with a regenerating balm that can provide intense nourishment to the strands using seven healing oils. Its use after staining makes it possible to reduce the harmful effects of ammonia.

The color palette of the Deluxe series is quite varied, allowing everyone to find their own stylish look. Lightening and blonde dyes are presented in trendy colors in platinum and gold shades. Light brown, red, chestnut, purple, black colors have not been ignored either - they tend to create a uniform, shiny coating along the entire length of the hair.

Palette Salon Colors in the amount of 16 rich shades allow you to try on an image like from the salon when painting at home. The color stability of the pigment is due to the ammonia content. That is why it is recommended to use a preliminary elbow allergy test prior to staining. To mitigate the negative impact, a conditioner is included in the composition in a separate sachet, which must be applied to the hair and kept for the allotted time.

A distinctive feature of the Salon Colors series is a large amount of ingredients - the ready-made mixture in a pack is enough for a complete dyeing of medium-length hair. When choosing a shade, it is important to consider that it will not work to paint over gray hair with this series. It is intended only for the manifestation of the brightness and richness of hair shades, gives a light veil effect, saturates the strands with shine.

The semi-permanent range of ammonia-free paints contains radiant colors that can surprise and delight at first sight.

The palette is devoid of blonding compounds; after dyeing, the strands look spectacular, expressive and bright.

The composition is distinguished by caring properties, it includes provitamins, argan oil, gentle coloring agents.

In order for the choice of color to be made correctly, it is worth following a number of simple rules.

1. All tinting products of the brightening group - light brown, blond, pearl, ashy, powdery blond and other light tones - apply on hair only after preliminary clarification. Otherwise, the result may be very different from what is expected.
2. Before deciding to dye in a color that is radically different from the natural tone of the hair, you need to try a similar coloring option with an unstable dye. Such experiments are not suitable for owners of gray hair. It is worth doing a test staining, if you are attracted by the red or purple range of colors, you are planning to switch to red shades, black.
3. When choosing a shade, you should be guided by your own skin color. Cold tones - eggplant, blue-black, light brown, Scandinavian blonde, copper red - are suitable for women with pale or pink skin and "winter" type of appearance. Warm ones - dark chocolate, golden truffle, coffee, chestnut, caramel, cappuccino - will decorate girls with a golden, beige or dark skin tone.
4. Owners of natural chestnut hair rarely experiment with blonde substances. If you want to radically lighten your hair, you should try highlighting, otherwise there is a high likelihood of getting a faceless image devoid of individuality.
5. The presence of gray hair is a good reason to switch to stable dyes. Tint products are only relevant for curls with natural pigmentation.

The use of Palette cream paint at home is simplified as much as possible, allowing every woman to carry out the procedure for toning strands of any length without assistance.

A correctly performed sequence of actions is the key to a good result.

1. Mix the ingredients, protecting your hands with gloves. If the kit does not include a special bottle with a screw-down tip (dispenser), it is worth preparing non-metallic dishes (glass, ceramic). The finished composition quickly oxidizes in the open air, you should immediately proceed to staining.
2. Comb the hair in a straight parting, paint over the roots, transferring the mass of hair in rows to the side. No prior shampooing is required.
3. After the roots are dyed, the mixture should be evenly distributed over the entire length of the strands, trying to achieve complete coverage of the entire mass of hair with the composition.
4. At the end of the procedure, the hair is fixed with a knot on the crown using a hair clip (if it is long). Cover them with polyethylene, no need to insulate.
5. The recommended exposure time is 30 minutes. When lightening, the dye is kept for 35 minutes.
6. After the allotted time, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the hair in warm running water until the liquid is completely transparent - there should be no traces of paint. After that, if a conditioner is included, it is applied to the hair for 5 minutes.

Palette hair dyes are getting quite conflicting reviews from buyers. Despite the fact that it has been quite successfully adapted by the manufacturer for the budget price segment, the quality of the compositions in the mass market leaves much to be desired. The caustic chemical base often causes allergic reactions. For damaged, split ends, dyeing can become a source of problems such as increased hair loss, brittle strands, and a general deterioration.

Another source of complaints is uneven staining. The color on the packaging very rarely matches the actual staining result.

But those consumers who fit the paint note a wide range of shades of a natural and fashionable range, ease of application and, indeed, budget cost. All this together makes the Palette product line in demand and popular in Russia.
