The range of professional paints today cannot but please with its diversity. Both experienced craftsmen and women of fashion who prefer to dye their hair at home have the opportunity to purchase high-quality and safe materials. But you need to take into account the fact that professional products have many differences from their simpler counterparts.

So, ordinary paints designed for household use are found in any store. It can be not only cosmetic, but also a household outlet or a simple supermarket. High quality professional options are usually sold in specialty stores that sell salon products.

Also, one cannot but take into account the fact that professional paint will always cost more than usual. The range of prices here is due to the fact that when buying a professional product, you can acquire a whole set of necessary tools, which include:

• dye;
• oxidizing agent;
• a balm responsible for fixing the color;
• gloves;
• a specialized brush for applying the composition (not present in all sets).

Modern professional paints of high quality differ from simple compositions and in that they do not have a specific smell. Often, standard coloring agents exude a characteristic chemical aroma that can hardly be called pleasant. Good professional options do not have such disadvantages.

Modern professional paints are in great demand. They are produced by many well-known companies, so the choice of different colors and shades is simply huge. Let's take a closer look at what advantages such products are popular with consumers.

• First of all, it is worth highlighting the durability of such compositions. Professional dye stays on hair much longer than simple dye. Moreover, it does not lose its richness and original shine for a long time.
• The palette of different shades of such paints is striking in its variety. The choice of buyers is presented in a great variety of colors - it is possible to choose the ideal option for any occasion.
• Professional paints are of the highest quality. This is especially true of branded products that are sold in specialized stores.
• These dyes usually do not have a negative effect on the hair. They remain healthy and their structure does not become weaker.
• The final color of this paint is always very accurate. Many masters resort to combining different shades, observing certain proportions, to create the perfect range.
• In most cases, the composition of these paints has a natural base. Due to this, we can talk about the environmental friendliness of the lion's share of such products.
• Often on the shelves you can find professional coloring compositions, which come with many other components necessary for painting. Thus, you can choose not only one paint, but also a number of devices required for its application.
• If necessary, the color can be removed using a "wash".
• Professional dye makes the hair truly spectacular and shiny. If they were painted by a good master, then the result will definitely not disappoint the lady.

There are quite a few advantages of professional paints. However, it is important to take into account a number of disadvantages, which they are not without. Let's get acquainted with the cons of such dye compositions for hair.

• If the master does not have the appropriate skills and professionalism, then it will be quite difficult for him to work with such paint, and it will hardly be possible to achieve a good result. That is why it is so important to find a truly experienced hairdresser who can professionally color your hair.
• Such paints are much more expensive than simple formulations.
• In stores, you can often find more affordable copies passed off as professional ones. Typically, these are low quality products that can harm hair health. For this reason, experts advise buying only branded paints in proven specialized stores.

Today, you can find several variations of good professional paints on sale. Let us consider in more detail what types of coloring compositions exist and what features they differ in.

Ammonia-free dyes are available in the arsenal of many brands that produce high-quality professional hair dyes. These formulations have a more gentle effect on the strands than simple products with ammonia. The latter are harmful and can negatively affect the curls.

Ammonia-free paints are extremely popular these days. Many hairdressers use them. The prevalence and relevance of such products is due to a number of advantages that are inherent in them.

• With such products, the staining becomes gentle. The necessary substances simply envelop the hair, without penetrating too deeply, thereby burning out the natural pigment.
• Ammonia-free paints are presented in the widest color palette (at least 50 shades).
• There is no unpleasant ammoniacal smell when using these formulations.
• As part of such products, there are special components that have a positive effect on curls. These components include vitamins, acids, and various plant extracts. These funds strengthen the hair follicle, stimulate blood circulation in the epidermis.
• There are no serious contraindications to the use of such paints. Experts say that even pregnant women can use them.

These high quality professional dyes are insanely popular because they do not harm the hair. But they also have their drawbacks.

• The result when using such paints, unfortunately, turns out to be short-lived. Do not trust promising slogans that the color will last for a very long time. On the contrary, the paint will wash off noticeably with each shampooing. After a couple of weeks, the shade will lose its former saturation.
• It will not work well to paint over gray hair with ammonia-free professional paint. If you decide to carry out such procedures with your own hands at home, then you will not achieve the desired result. If you visit a good salon, you can expect a better result. In such conditions, hairdressers use a special gel composition, which fixes the effect of the use of the coloring component.
• High-quality clarification with such a paint also cannot be achieved. For example, if you want to transform from a burning brunette into a platinum blonde, then a dye without ammonia will not be the best helper. He will not be able to lighten the curls in the proper amount.
• Such paint is quite expensive. For coloring with this tool and in the salon you may be asked a decent amount.

Good professional paints, which do not contain ammonia, are produced by the following popular brands:

• Wella;
• L'Oréal;
• Chi Ilonic;
• Revlon;
• Cutrin;
• Estel.

More recently, it was rather difficult to find professional paints with oils in the composition on sale. They were considered a real "wonder" and were available only to highly qualified specialists. Today the situation has changed dramatically - it has become much easier to buy such paint and it can be in the arsenal of not only a hairdresser, but also an ordinary housewife.

The main advantage of this dye is that its effect on the hair is the most gentle and gentle. It will be possible to achieve the required shade without harming the structure of the strands. In addition, the oils present in the composition of these products will nourish the curls and protect them from the influence of the dye. Also, after completing the dyeing in this way, the ladies note that their hair has not become thin and brittle, as is often the case with the use of classic formulations.

Many young ladies prefer paints with oils, since the benefits of the latter are known to everyone. With their help, you can strengthen and restore hair. Here, olive or coconut oil is the ideal solution. Inexpensive burdock oil will also be useful. As a rule, they are applied to curls in the form of masks or other cosmetic remedies. That is why modern firms have undertaken to produce high quality and useful professional paints based on oils.

These coloring products will not only make your hairstyle more attractive, but also healthier. Dye with oils will have a positive effect on the hair structure.Basically, after such types of dyeing, women of fashion do not have to turn to additional procedures for the care and restoration of hair.

Currently, many well-known brands produce high-quality paints with oils, such as:

• Syoss;
• Constant Delight;
• Garnier;
• L'Oréal Professionnel.

Beautiful and effective paints with a lamination effect are very popular today. When using such formulations, the hair gets a truly luxurious appearance. They become more shiny and radiant. The color literally starts to play with new colors with similar effects.

Let's get acquainted with the list of the main advantages of modern professional paints with a lamination effect.

• The color of such compositions always turns out to be more saturated and stable, especially when compared with ordinary paints.
• If all procedures were carried out correctly, then after dyeing, the hair acquires a stunning mirror shine. It will last for several weeks.
• According to experts, such coloring compositions contribute to easier combing and styling of curls.
• Visually, the volume of the head of hair will be more impressive.
• After such staining, the curls become more obedient and smooth. They are pleasant to touch, and there are no major problems with styling.
• The lamination film retains moisture in the hair structure.

Unfortunately, professional laminating paints have not only pluses, but also minuses. The latter include the fact that these formulations create the effect of absolutely healthy and undamaged hair exclusively visually. Even when using good gentle dyes, the curls will have to be carefully looked after in order to avoid problems with the hair structure. You cannot do without the use of special masks and high-quality balms.

The lamination effect is not as durable as we would like it to be. By itself, keratin is washed out rather quickly. If you want the effect to last as long as possible, you will have to use special sulfate-free shampoos, which are expensive and are not suitable for every person.

Today, many well-known brands produce such interesting paints. Here is some of them:

• Sebastian Professional;
• L'Oréal;
• Matrix;
• Wella;
• Estel.

Many masters use professional keratin paints in their work. Keratin is a naturally occurring protein found in nails and hair. If this component is not enough in the body, then the curls become less elastic, and their natural shine is minimized. Of course, the reserves of keratin are not endless. Under the influence of negative external factors, this substance remains less and less, which leads to the need to replenish it.

Professional paints with keratin, like products with oils, not only make the hairstyle more attractive, but also take care of it. Currently, these types of paints are put on the market by many popular companies, for example:

• Bbcos;
• L'Oréal;
• Kapous.

These types of paints are very popular today. Their demand is due to a number of important advantages.

• When using such paints, it becomes possible to achieve the most stable and uniform color.
• After dyeing with keratin dye, the hair acquires a beautiful shine, which will definitely not leave the young lady invisible.
• The keratin structure with such coloring compositions is always replenished.
• Curls with this staining do not lose their natural softness and silkiness.

Despite its effectiveness, such a professional paint also has certain disadvantages.

• When using a keratin composition, there is a risk of provoking a serious allergic reaction. That is why allergy sufferers are not recommended to contact this product.
• You may need a lot more of this dye than a standard ammonia solution. It all depends on the length and volume of the hair.
• The color of such paint will require frequent updates.
• Keratin paint is quite expensive. Taking into account its high consumption, the purchase of this composition may not be the most profitable.

Choosing a good professional paint should be taken very seriously. In such matters, it is recommended to rely on the following main selection criteria.

• Tint. Try to choose the most suitable shade that won't ruin your natural hair color. If you are in doubt about what will suit you best, then it is better to consult with a hairdresser, who will tell you exactly which scales will be appropriate and which ones are better to refuse.
• The quality of the packaging. When choosing the right hair dye, it is important to pay attention to the integrity of the branded packaging in which it is sold. The box should never be torn or wrinkled. It is better to refuse such goods.
• Composition. It is advisable to turn to such professional paints, which do not contain harmful substances. The most reliable and safe, of course, will be products based on natural or oils. Of course, they will cost more, but they will not harm your hair. It is better not to take formulations with ammonia, but if you resort to classic staining, which should last as long as possible, then you can buy this option.
• Manufacturer. It is recommended to buy only branded professional paints. It is advisable to give preference to products from well-known brands. Copies from incomprehensible and hard-to-read companies should not be taken, especially if they are too cheap. With such dyes, you can cause very serious and sometimes irreparable damage to your hair.
• Place of purchase. It is best to choose the right paint in a specialized store. It is not recommended to purchase such items in markets or street shops if you do not want to risk the health of your hair.

Hair dyeing with professional dye is a more complicated process than dyeing with a conventional dye composition. It is very important to adhere to the step-by-step technology and not neglect all the necessary application rules. In this case, you can count on a good result.

Consider the intricacies of hair coloring with a professional and very easy-to-apply paste paint.

• First you need to properly prepare professional paint. If the use of an oxidizing agent is provided, then first you will need to dilute it with the color itself. The proportions are usually indicated by the manufacturer on the original packaging.
• After that, usually on the forehead, neck and temples along the hairline, but without affecting them, petroleum jelly or a fat cream is smeared on the skin.
• It is customary to start direct hair treatment from the back of the head.
• Having prepared a vertical parting in the middle of the occipital region, the hair on both sides of this parting is covered with a dye composition. Making an indent from the already processed parting (about 0.5 cm) parallel to it, using a comb, you need to make another parting. The strands are combed onto the colored curls in front, and then paint is applied again. So, at the same time with the preparation of further strands, the previously dyed hair is scratched, so that the paint can be distributed correctly.
• When the paint is applied to the strands, they can be combed by lifting them up. It is necessary to ensure that the coloring composition is applied evenly along the entire length of the hair. Then there will be no need to close the curls with anything.
• You will need to wait 25-30 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly under warm water using shampoo. After that, it is advisable to rinse the curls with slightly acidified water.
• If hair is lightened, then it must be borne in mind that such processes are much faster.If you want to lighten your hair more, some ladies try to put on a warming cap or wrap their head with polyethylene kerchiefs - this cannot be done. The ban is due to the fact that in closed conditions the paint will heat up unnecessarily, and it will not be possible to control the process itself. This can cause scalp burns and severe hair damage.

If the desired shade on the hair as a result of self-dyeing was not achieved, for example, it came out too light, then you just need to apply the paint again in the same concentration for another 5 minutes. After that, the hair will need to be washed again until it becomes clean and free of unnecessary components.

It should be borne in mind that lightening with professional paint is not carried out in one stage, especially when it comes to a dark natural color. Here you can face such a problem that the pigment has not yet faded to the end, and the keratin of the hair has already undergone destruction, because of which further lightening can be simply dangerous. That is why it is worth thinking many times before proceeding to such procedures, especially at home.

It is not recommended to apply professional paint if the scalp is damaged or irritated. It is advisable to first conduct a small test for an allergic reaction if you are using a new product and have not used it before.

If you doubt your abilities, then it is better not to dye your hair with such products at home. It is better to turn to an experienced hairdresser who will do everything right and will not make mistakes.
