Features of Shot hair dyes
To transform 100%, sometimes just one cosmetics or a new haircut is not enough. In order to change radically, it is sometimes necessary to resort to hair dyeing.
In the modern world, there are enough brands that are ready to offer different hair products for girls, including dyes. Considering the number of such companies in pursuit of leadership, it is clear why more and more product lines are released every year. Each time they become more modernized, more convenient to use and more understandable. Each brand must convey to the consumer that their product is completely safe.
For consumers, it is the composition that plays an important role, and many do not think about where the product was produced, especially if it gives a good result. Therefore, the manufacturer aims at such results as shading gray hair, color fastness and safety in coloring (this is helped by the ammonia-free base in the product).
Brand Description
It's no secret that marketing is the engine of everything in the world of fashion, cosmetics, and in the world of hair dyeing. Most women who decide to transform their image choose the paint that they heard the most.
That is, thanks to advertising, the girl learns that now this particular product is popular, which means that it is good. Without knowing and not reading the composition, many on a whim buy those brands that are simply promoted more and are more expensive.
This is, to a greater extent, the danger of damaging or "killing" the hair. Therefore, I would like to note the Italian brand Pool Service, which has existed for about 40 years. But it has become popular in the Russian market relatively recently.
The line of paints that has come down to us is called Shot.This is a professional hair dye, which over the 16 years of its existence has won the hearts of many girls, women, stylists, hairdressers, as well as colorists both in Italy itself and abroad.
As mentioned earlier, this brand has become popular in Russia relatively recently. Many salons began to work only with this paint, and someone simply added these jars to their shelves.
After all, the company itself is aimed at a good result in coloring, so that the client is always satisfied and the next time he buys their product.
As the company itself notes, each product in the line is carefully checked before release, tested and again tested for various factors: irritants, allergies and intolerance to any components.
Therefore, the products of this brand are safe when used correctly.
Characteristic
Shot's hair product is a long-lasting gel color that contains active ingredients to protect the hair structure and a low percentage of ammonia.
It is worth noting that the ammonia content of this product is quite low and is only used to penetrate and fix the color better.
But for those who are not at all impressed by the presence of ammonia, there are other lines of this brand, in which there is an ammonia-free composition. For example, Shot Chic Therapy Crema Colorante, which contains aloe vera and a small pearl component.
According to a spokesman, this paint is gentle and does an excellent job of staining.
There are 26 colors in the palette for every taste. Due to the active elements, the paint does not harm the hair and, on the contrary, “sticks” the hair structure, covering it with a protective layer.
The Shot DNA line is more popular in the Russian market and is in demand. The composition of this paint is precisely that low percentage of ammonia. During staining, women simply did not notice it - not a pungent smell, some kind of burning sensation.
According to the manufacturer, it is a nourishing, moisturizing hair dye with collagen, proteins, and various vitamins. The dye is aimed not only at obtaining color, but also at moisturizing and protecting the hair itself.
The product is aimed at full shading of gray hair, uniform coverage of each strand, for natural color.
Composition
The main disadvantage of many dyes is that they often dry the hair a lot, which is why it loses its shine, and split ends appear more and more each time.
It is worth noting that it is impossible to say with certainty that it was the product that caused the "fragility", because without proper care, the selection of care products in the form of shampoo, balm, masks, the hair becomes thinner. Lack of grooming has a negative effect on hair.
The Shot brand is proof that dye can help and "heal" the hair structure.
All the ingredients that make up the composition are gentle on the hair.
- Special pigmentsthat color the hair.
- Nutritive oils.
- Vitamins. They maintain the tone of the hair and scalp, preventing hair loss.
- Important acids are responsible for the enrichment with minerals.
- Ammonia, with the help of which a special pigment penetrates the structure of the hairline and fixes it. The percentage of ammonia that is in Shot products is completely insignificant, therefore it cannot damage or destroy the hair structure.
The composition takes into account the characteristics of sensitive skin, dry and prone to irritation. In this regard, the product is considered safe; after its use, a variety of reactions do not appear. Although the manufacturer recommends pre-testing the selected paint, as there may be an individual intolerance or intolerance to the selected pigment.
The volume of one tube is 100 ml, the kit includes a balm that will need to be applied after staining, when you wash your hair.
If you need to lighten your hair, you will additionally have to purchase an oxidizing emulsion.
The Italian brand Pool Service, in addition to paints, also provides products such as shampoos, balms, masks, oils and their own toners. That is, if you wanted to protonate the resulting result, then you only need to select the desired emulsion, which is different for each tone of clarification. For example, for lightening by 2-4 tones, it is worth choosing an emulsion of 10-12%.
The emulsion should be added to the paint 1: 1.5, that is, one part of the paint to one and a half parts of the emulsion.
Color palette
The color palette of Shot creams includes about 125 shades. They are divided into groups and subgroups. Each color has its own serial number in the line. And the number in the paint is divided into several additional designations.
The first digit in the number is always responsible for the main color, which is obtained after the color; the second number denotes an additional tone or subtone, with which a strand can cast in the light or at a certain angle; the last, third digit, is responsible for the shade, which is present as a component in coloring, but it cannot manifest itself in everyone.
It follows that all shades of blond are marked with the numbers (first) 11, 10 or 9. For example, 11.12 is a platinum blond (his undertone will give off violet silver) or 10.32 is a platinum blond (the undertone will be beige).
Light blond shades will also refer to serial number 9, for example: 9.3 - Russian gold (intense natural color) or 9.01 - ash-blond (light, natural tint). In the line for light brown hair, the company adheres to more natural shades, light ones, which, passing from tone to tone, have a certain ebb, barely noticeable. For example, blond in shade 9.32 is beige-blond; copper tint in shade 9.43 - copper-brown (the lightest gold, natural); red tint in shades 8.43 and 8.4. Sinking one tone lower, the palette is enriched with darker shades, deeper and more saturated.
Starting from number 8 and going down, the shades become darker, leaving in chestnut, chocolate, dark blond color. The shade is mahogany, copper-brown with a red undertone, dark blond.
There are paints that are accompanied by only one number. These are shades such as 4 - natural chestnut; 3 - dark chestnut color (natural); 2 - natural brown; 1 is pure black.
Separately, there are those colors that slightly shade the natural color, without overlapping it at all, but if the concentration of the pigment is high, then the hair will be colored. These are shades such as:
- gentle powder at number 0.12 - a pleasant powdery shade of blond, suitable exclusively for light hair;
- blue 0.09 - pleasant dark blue color, depth increases depending on concentration;
- 0.06 - red, regardless of the number of shades with a red tint, the shade 0.06 is a pure and deep color without impurities or any ebb.
The uniqueness of this paint lies in the fact that it does not require additional heating or insulation in the form of a bag or towel.
Reviews
Consider the positive reviews from buyers of paints of this brand.
- Color palette... The variety of shades, tones and undertones is quite impressive for salon visitors, because Shot paint can be found in many of the most unimaginable shades.
- Price... Many are impressed by the price category. Hair dye, although professional, is very affordable.
- Saturated color. With the right choice of color, the paint lays on your natural color in an even layer, and the color turns out to be bright and deep.
- Mixes easily with each other. For colorists, this is a real treasure, because sometimes even the largest line may lack exactly that color. And only mixing a few colors can come to the rescue.
Of course, where there are positive reviews, there will always be negative ones.
- Some women who dyed their hair with this paint in light shades, the output was yellow. Perhaps it was the wrongly mixed components or the wrong emulsion was selected.
- Odor intolerance and itching. The manufacturer claims that there are percentages with individual paint intolerance. It can manifest itself in an intolerance to the smell of paint or in the appearance of itchy skin after the staining procedure.
- Lack of translation instructions for the Russian audience.
- Some did not have gray hair, and for someone at the exit, the gray hair acquired a yellow tint.
