How to restore hair after dyeing?

Since ancient times, any woman wanted to have beautiful thick curls. In past centuries, natural ingredients have been used to change hair color. Now, to obtain the desired color, modern hair dyes with a wide palette of colors are used. All of them contain a whole set of chemical components that help to achieve the desired result, while having a detrimental effect on the curls. Very often, after dyeing, there is a question of restoring damaged hair. Before answering it, you first need to understand how the paint affects the condition of the curls.

If you look at the hair under a microscope, you can see that in its structure it resembles fish scales. When they are well-groomed, healthy and clean, the scales fit snugly and shine. When you apply paint on them, it lifts the scales and penetrates into the hair. With frequent staining, the condition worsens each time. They become thin and weak as a result of which they begin to break or, even worse, fall out. Therefore, the quality and constituent components of the paint are of great importance.

Most of the paints contain hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, which aggressively affect the health of curls. Curls especially suffer with a radical change in color, for example, when dyeing dark shades in blond or white tones. In this case, you will need several treatments to achieve optimal results. If you have thick curly strands, then intensive use of dye can damage their structure, after each dyeing, the hair weakens.

According to the method of its action and the duration of the effect, paints can be divided into three groups.

• Shading. The safest, as they do not penetrate into the hair, but remain only on the surface. For the same reason, as a rule, they are quickly washed off. Another advantage of such paints is that you can often change the color depending on your desire.
• Semi-permanent. They contain hydrogen peroxide, not ammonia. Like the tint ones, they remain on the surface of the hair, without penetrating into its depths, they are washed off gradually. But with regular use, they can retain color for a longer time.
• Permanent. They are among the most persistent, but also harmful to hair. They contain harmful chemical elements. They penetrate into the hair, destroy trace elements and make it thin and weak.

It is necessary to be careful about the choice of paint, not to skimp on cheaper types. It is better to opt for those containing vitamins, herbal ingredients, minerals and other useful substances. In addition, this dye will add extra shine to the hair and make it manageable.
