How to dye your hair with tint products?

A change of image involves not only the selection of new clothes and accessories, but also a change in hairstyle. You can dye your hair in several ways, which will affect the final result. One of the simplest and safest options is a hair tonic.

Many girls who want to try on a new look are afraid to drastically change their hair color and want to carry out this procedure in stages. Tint products help them in this. Their main difference from persistent paint is that they are washed off without a trace, after several head washes.

How tint products differ from paints:

• Persistence. The dye retains its brightness for one to two months and does not completely come off the hair, while the tonic is quickly washed off. On the other hand, if a lady does not like the chosen shade, she will be able to return the natural color only when using tint products.

• Saturation. When using balms and shampoos, you can change the hair color by 2-3 tones in both directions, while it will be more difficult to lighten them.Paints are used together with an oxygenating agent, which guarantees a lasting effect. Toners guarantee a softer, more natural-looking shade. These colors look more natural.

• Composition. The dye contains ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and other chemical compounds that have a detrimental effect on the hair structure. And the composition of the tint contains natural dyes and natural ingredients. Thanks to this, balms and shampoos dry out less and burn hair.

The choice between paint and tonic is made depending on the goals pursued by the girl, since each tool has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, many ladies start experimenting with their hairstyle precisely with the application of tint products, since this simplifies the selection of the ideal color and allows them to painlessly try on different looks.

The cosmetics market offers a wide selection of tinting products from both foreign and domestic manufacturers. Each brand offers an original color palette. When buying, it should be borne in mind that products made in Russia are cheaper, however, they are not always safe.

Popular tint products include:

• Estel. The products do not contain ammonia and peroxide; they have a moisturizing effect on the hair due to the use of natural extracts and a keratin complex.

• Schwarzkopf. A distinctive feature is the ease of use: the products are evenly and easily distributed over the surface of the hair. It contains a silver pigment that enhances cold hair tones.

• Loreal. Gentle cosmetics for hair coloring. Tinted shampoos contain herbal extracts, vitamins and minerals.

• Wella. Shampoos and balms that are used in combination to enhance and maintain color. The brand also offers products to maintain rich colors.

When buying, you should carefully read the composition, since there may be harmful components in inexpensive products. A quality tonic does not contain synthetic fragrances, chemical preservatives or animal products.

The fragility of the hair tonic raises the question of when the color can be refreshed. Due to the fact that the tool is practically harmless, it can be used often, as the shade begins to fade. Unlike persistent paint, which is not recommended to be applied more often than once every 2-4 months, balms and shampoos can be applied to curls every 1.5-2 weeks.

Tint products are suitable for all girls, regardless of the structure and color of the hair. When using a tonic, you need to adhere to only one rule:

When a representative of the fair sex wants to give the colored curls a new shade, it is recommended to wait 4-5 days and only after this period, apply the product. If you neglect this recommendation, you may not get the desired color. And in the worst case, the hair will be irreparably damaged: it will become dry, brittle and lifeless.

Tint products are not used to radically change the image. It is recommended to choose tonics that are close in tone to the natural hair color. So the result will be more persistent, and the curls will acquire a vibrant shine. Do not expect that a brunette will become the owner of light hair, since there is no oxidizing agent in tonics and their effect is limited. Therefore, the palette of colors for brown-haired women is limited.

On gray hair, you should choose dark shades - chestnut, black. As in the case of light strands, the shade will become more saturated. However, it will not work completely to tint the gray hair: the tool will be able to paint over only about 30% of the strands. Girls who apply the product to streaked curls face some difficulties. To remove the yellowness remaining after clarification, use a purple tonic and keep it for literally a few minutes.

You can use tint products after painting with henna. It will not work to completely remove the reddish shade, but it will turn out to give it shine and shine, to make it more natural. The same effect will occur after the tonic is applied to artificial hair.

To dye your hair with tonic, you need to prepare a bowl with a volume of about two liters, rubber gloves, a special brush, shampoo and towels. It is better to carry out the procedure in old clothes, which you will not mind getting dirty. You should also cover the work surface with oilcloth or old newspapers. Before the procedure, it is recommended to apply a greasy cream to open skin areas.

Stages of applying a tint toner:

• stir the product and water until a homogeneous consistency (their ratio is indicated by the manufacturer);
• moisturize hair with plain water;
• consistently apply the product from roots to ends;
• after applying the tonic, you need to comb your hair, beat the balm into a lather;
• wash off the product using a mild shampoo; for a weak balm, it is enough to rinse your head with water.

The ease of use of the tonic makes it affordable for all girls. Even those ladies who have never dyed their hair before will be able to cope with the remedy. It should be applied to damp, not dry strands. But washing your hair immediately before the procedure is optional - it will not give any effect. You can apply the product to both clean and dirty hair.

The tinting agents are thin and may drip off. In order not to stain furniture and things, it is better to stay in the bathroom or shower throughout the procedure, in which it will be easy to clean up and wash away stains. In addition, at first it is better not to go to bed with a wet head, otherwise the tonic will stain the pillow.

The saturation of the final color depends on the duration of the tonic application. The longer it is kept on the hair, the brighter the shade comes out:

• The basic time for the procedure is 15-25 minutes;
• For light toning, it is enough to apply the product for 5 minutes;
• To obtain a more noticeable result, it is recommended to wash off the balm after 45-50 minutes.

However, this rule does not apply to all shades. Overexposing a tonic of a non-standard tone, the girl runs the risk of getting an unexpected result: her hair can acquire a green or yellow tint, even if the original balm was of a completely different color.

Ombre is popular with fashionistas around the world. This type of staining involves only changing the color of the tips. If earlier the regrown roots of a different shade were considered a sign of bad taste, now girls specifically choose hairstyles, which are based on a combination of several shades in the upper and lower parts of the head.

When choosing a tonic, take into account the base tone of the hair. Almost all variegated shades are suitable for blondes and owners of light brown curls: you can choose pink, lilac, blue, or use several colors at the same time.On the other hand, brunettes can use a light tonic to create contrast. Red strands will also look spectacular on black hair.

The procedure for applying balm to the ends is not much different from painting the entire head. After the preparatory stage, it is recommended to apply the product to one strand to check how the color will look on the hair.

If you are satisfied with the result, you need to determine what length will be painted, and from this line apply the product from top to bottom. You can carry out the procedure with a brush or comb. After the tonic is kept for the required amount of time and washed off.

You can learn about a simple technique that even professional stylists use from the following video.

Toning does not imply a radical change of the image. This is a gentle procedure in which the product does not penetrate deep into the hair structure and envelops it from the outside, creating a special film. Coloring occurs due to the action of natural ingredients, which do not include aggressive chemical compounds, so the curls remain alive and docile.

The procedure involves applying the product to individual strands from roots to ends. Balm should be evenly distributed, applying it to the curls from the inside and outside. To make the hair shine, just hold the toner for 5 minutes. When using several colors, they must be applied immediately one after the other, so as not to overexpose the first shade.

Brave, risky girls can become owners of colorful, non-standard shades. The tonic palette contains colors such as green, purple, and scarlet. They will look especially rich on a light base; brunettes and brown-haired women will be able to get only hair with bright tints, visible in the light. The disadvantage of extreme tones is that they wash off faster and require special care.

When using toners of bright colors, it is recommended to use special shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Home remedies can also be used to fix the color: even lemon juice diluted with plain water is suitable for this purpose. It must be applied to the hair and washed off.

Hair dyeing in non-standard shades also requires a change of wardrobe. Red or blue hair will also complement an informal outfit, help to place color accents. And tonics of gentle pastel shades (pink, turquoise) will add romance and femininity to the image.

The difference between tonic and hair dye is its fragility. The latter retains color saturation for up to a month and does not come off the strand to the end. The balm lasts much less; depending on the type of product, it can be washed off after 3-4 head washes.

Tonics are divided into types, taking into account their durability:

• Sparing. Such shampoos are washed off after 1-2 weeks.
• Easy action. They last from 2 weeks to a month.
• Deep action. The color lasts up to 8 weeks.

To keep the curls bright as long as possible, you need to follow a few tips:

• First, you should wash your hair less often if possible;
• Secondly, it is better to do it in cool, and not too hot water;
• You should also avoid walking in the rain, because then the tonic can leak.

Hair should be dyed with gloves and, if possible, do not leave exposed skin areas. However, it is not always possible to carry out the procedure one hundred percent accurately, especially if the girl is using the product for the first time. The tonic will wash off by itself, after a few days. When you urgently need to remove it (for example, from the face or), it is enough to use any alcohol-containing solution.

There are other ways to cleanse your skin:

• Apply a thin layer of toothpaste, rinse off the remains after drying.
• To achieve greater efficiency, use a mixture of paste, oil, lemon juice and soda in equal proportions.
• Take a bath with orange oil, milk (half a liter is enough) and the juice of three lemons.
• The scalp can be washed with regular shampoo and a little baking soda. The composition must be rubbed into the hair with light massaging movements, and then rinsed.

It also happens that the girl does not like the final hair color. In this case, you need to wash your hair as soon as possible. To effectively get rid of tonic will help yogurt or other fermented milk products. The drink is applied to the hair, wrapped in cellophane and left for 2 hours. Repeat the procedure if necessary.

Cleaning with baking soda is used in particularly difficult cases. It is necessary to add water to it and apply on the strands for 10-15 minutes. The solution can dry your hair, so you shouldn't use it too often. It is recommended to use a moisturizing balm after the procedure.

Tint balms are popular both among teenage girls who first decided to experiment with a hairstyle, and among mature ladies who want to update a boring color. Representatives of the fair sex note the harmlessness of the products, some report that the hair becomes softer and more manageable due to the vitamins and natural ingredients included in the composition.

Many girls switch to tonics after a bad experience with persistent colors. Tonic allows you to remove yellowness after highlighting, to give a natural shade. Also, women of fashion note a rich color range, a variety of products from different brands, which simplifies the selection of products, taking into account the tastes and preferences of the lady. Among the best balsams, customers call "ROCOLOR", Concept, Irida, Londa.
