- paint remover - composition Estel Color Off;
- brightening powder Estel Deluxe, which contains 3% hydrogen peroxide;
- hair dye brands Kapous light (ash purple) shades - it contains a little blue and purple dyes.
The blue color conceals the red shades well, the purple color does not allow the hair to be "yellow like a chicken."

"Whitewashing" can thin them, making them more dry and brittle, therefore, immediately apply special products after dyeing (lightening and toning the hairline).

- After washing your hair, moisturize your hair with a conditioner balm, wait until it dries slightly (it will not be so effective on wet hair).
- Weekly "feed" your hair and scalp with special formulations containing vitamins A, C and E. You can buy them at any pharmacy.
- Once or twice a week, restore with masks based on natural ingredients including honey, olive oil, coconut oil, egg yolk, herbal decoctions and other natural reagents that have a beneficial effect on hair composition and improve its structure and texture.
- Do not use a hot hair dryer to dry your hair. If you are in a hurry, turn on the hair dryer or fan in the cold blow mode, directing the air flow from the roots to the ends of the hair.
- Do not go bareheaded in the summer heat.
- Don't wash your hair every day - constant washing of your hair will quickly ruin your powdery blond. The same can be said for shades similar to it.
- Provide yourself with a healthy and balanced diet.
- To prevent the curls from becoming yellow, apply a toning compound after every third wash. It will help the powdery blonde to last as long as possible, then the shade will smoothly change to honey, mocha or caramel.
