Tint tonic
The tint tonic can rightfully be called the most harmless means for changing the color of the hairline, since its effect is only external. The fact is that the tonic does not penetrate into the structure of the hair, but only envelops it from the outside. It is thanks to this surface effect that the tonics are not so persistent, since hair changes occur only outside, but not inside.
It is noteworthy that some tonics have a slight lamination effect, making hair smoother and more flexible.

Tint shampoo
The tint shampoo differs little from the usual one, only by the presence of toning pigments in the composition. The product must be applied to the hair, combed and left for a while, then rinsed and repeated again.Tint shampoo cannot provide a radical change in shade, therefore, it will definitely not work to turn from a brunette to a blonde.

Tint balm
The principle of operation of the tint balm is similar to the operation of the shampoo of the same series, but with some adjustments. You must first wash your hair, lightly drying your hair with a towel. Then you need to evenly apply the balm to wet, clean hair, combing it and collecting excess funds.

You should be careful, because excess balm can still harm your hair if it already has damage. Unhealthy, unprotected hair must be protected as much as possible from any influences, both by coloring agents and by any other that can be harmful.

After dyeing with tinted shampoos and balms, the hair does not need any special care, you can wash, dry and style them as you are used to. Toning components not only change the shade of the hair, but also give it a light shine and silkiness.
disadvantages
