Now let's look at the step-by-step staining process.

• Allergy testing. To do this, mix the paint with an oxidizing agent in a minimum amount and drop it on the wrist from the inside. If, 30 minutes after application, the skin condition remains unchanged, there is no redness and irritation, then the drug can be used. If itching, blistering, or redness occurs, this is an indication of an allergic reaction and should not be used.
• Application of the coloring composition. It is not necessary to wash your hair before coloring. The painting process is carried out with gloves. According to the attached instructions, you need to prepare the dye mixture. A towel or cover should be draped over your shoulders to protect clothing and skin from accidental paint splashing. Short hair is pretty easy to dye. It will be correct to start applying the composition from the back of the head, then move to the temples, and then to the crown. When transforming long curls, more diligence is required. They need to be divided into four parts by parting, and then secured with invisible ones. The tool is first applied to the partings, then to the roots, starting from the back of the head. After processing the roots, the hairpins are removed one by one, and the strands are colored along the entire length.
• Waiting for the period of exposure to the composition. On the hair, it is kept for about half an hour. To achieve a light tone, it is enough to leave for 10-15 minutes, and, to obtain a deeper and more persistent color, you can increase the time to 45 minutes.
• Dye remover. After the expiration of the time, the preparation is washed off. The head is placed under a stream of water, while the paint must be thoroughly foamed with your hands and the strands must be rinsed well to clear water. Shampoo is optional.
• Using a balm. The set of any permanent paint includes a balm. After washing off the paint, it is applied to the curls for a few minutes and washed off with water. Its application fixes the resulting color and completes the staining process.

The main care after dyeing is color retention and additional moisture, as there is a tendency to dryness, most noticeable at the ends of the hair. Only with proper care can you prolong the brightness of the color and maintain a good appearance.

• In the first week, do not use deep masks so that their components do not damage the coloring pigment, and the color remains bright.
• It is recommended to use shampoos and conditioners for colored hair of light type, with mild caring properties.
• When swimming in the pool, be sure to have a waterproof rubber cap, otherwise the water can damage the hair structure.
• When styling with tongs or curling iron, it is necessary to use a thermal protective agent so that the coloring pigment does not collapse under the influence of high temperature.
• As an additional source of moisture and protection against fragility, it is desirable to use vegetable-based masks enriched with proteins. They will help restore moisture and add shine to your hair.
• If the result with self-staining is not pleasing, then its correction should be entrusted only to a professional hairdresser.
