Peculiarities
A characteristic feature of tinting agents is their relative harmlessness. In the composition of shampoos and balms for coloring, there is no ammonia, therefore they do not destroy the hair structure. At the same time, tonics are not suitable for a radical change of the image.
The tools allow you to change the original shade by 2-3 tones in both directions, and it is more difficult to lighten the curls than to make them dark.

Tonics are divided into several types depending on the strength of the effect on the hair and the durability of the funds:
- Sparing. Such products do not contain ammonia and other potent chemical compounds. The tonic acts on the upper part of the hair and does not penetrate into its structure. These balms and shampoos are used to add color and are washed out 1-2 weeks after use.

It is characteristic that only after tonics can the natural color be restored.In the case of permanent dyes, you will have to wait for the hair to grow back completely.

You can apply the toner regularly as it rinses off your hair. Thanks to tinted shampoos, it is possible to change hair color every month or refresh the natural shade. However, it should be borne in mind that the remedy still affects the strands and dries them out, so you should not abuse balms.
Time of action
A complex of factors affects the durability of tinting agents. This is due not only to the type and brand of tonic, but also to the subsequent care of colored hair. Following the recommendations of experts, it will be possible to give the color durability, make it more saturated.
What affects the durability of tint products:
- Frequency of bath procedures. How long the tonic will last on the hair directly depends on this criterion. The product is washed out after 5-7 washes, because those who take a bath every day, the strands will fade faster.
- Water temperature. Hot wash out the color faster, therefore, to maintain a rich shade, it is recommended to take a shower in slightly cooler water. Alternatively, while washing, the hair should be wetted to a minimum.
- Using shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Thanks to the use of special tools, it is possible to increase the durability of the tinting agents several times.

- Original color. Best of all, the tonic lays down on blonde hair, it lasts longer on such curls. Tint shampoo applied to discolored curls is the most difficult to remove. In contrast, on dark hair, the tonic will last from seven days to a couple of weeks.

- The selected shade. Bright shades wash out faster. To maintain the saturation of the pink or blue tonic, the color will have to be updated regularly: once every one to two weeks. At the same time, if the product gave an unexpected effect (for example, if the product was overexposed on streaked strands and got a green or purple color), the result will last a long time. It will have to be removed using washes.

The use of masks also affects the preservation of the shade. Before using the products, make sure that they do not wash out the color. This property is possessed by lemon, fermented milk drinks, nettle, chamomile. And the use of formulations based on gelatin, on the contrary, will give the tonic stability.

If toner is applied to previously dyed strands, the color will last longer. This is due to the fact that products based on ammonia and other aggressive compounds make the hair structure porous, exfoliate scales, which makes the tinting agent penetrate deeper.

How to quickly deduce a color?
Sometimes there is a need to prematurely get rid of the tonic. Before painting, it is recommended to check the action of the product on a separate strand in order to understand what the final color will be. Otherwise, the result may be unpredictable.
If the girl is not satisfied with the final version, she should immediately wash her hair several times and then take bath procedures as often as possible.
In addition, special washes and home remedies are used:
- Fermented milk drinks. They are mixed with honey, vegetable oil, gently rubbed into the hair and left for an hour. The mixture is used once a day until the color disappears completely.

- Soda. One of the most aggressive ways to go as a last resort. After the procedure, the curls are moistened with a balm or conditioner, since the baking soda dries the hair.Soda is mixed with salt, applied to hair for 10-15 minutes, then washed off with vinegar solution.
