All about Estel Color Off hair remover

When a new shade of strands is bored and you want to return to a natural natural tone, professional products come to the rescue. Hair Rinse Estel Color Off is just such a composition. Among its obvious advantages is a special formula, devoid of harmful and hazardous chemical reagents. By following the instructions for using the acid wash, you can quickly and easily regain the natural tone of the curls at home.

Estel Color Off wash is produced by a Russian brand specializing in hair care and dyeing products. Designed specifically for the hairdressing professional, the formulation has the ability to quickly, effectively and safely remove pigment at any level of saturation. Its main difference from conventional clarifiers is a more gentle step-by-step effect on the hair structure.

No matter how intense in their action paints are used, with the help of a remover, their effect can be largely neutralized, restoring the natural shade of the strands along the entire length. Acidic base, which is more gentle than ammonia, avoids intense damage to the ends and hair shaft. Even black hair can be made much lighter in a few sessions.

The principle of the Estel wash is quite simple. It destroys the artificial dye pigments without affecting the natural pigments of your own hair. With the help of the tool, the lightening effect is not achieved, the strands simply return to their original color parameters. In case of unsuccessful staining, you can immediately apply the product without waiting for a while.

You will not be able to achieve the desired effect on strands treated with tinted shampoos and direct pigments. In this case, the color change may be unpredictable.

Do not expect miracles from the use of a wash: discolored strands will not regain their original tone, although they will get as close as possible to it. At the same time, use on dark hair almost always gives a gradual appearance of a reddish undertone. The effectiveness of using the product directly depends on several factors:

• a kind of dye: semi-permanent give in easier than permanent;
• the shade in which the hair is dyed: radical black and all shades of red are the most difficult to remove;
• the frequency of color changes performed: the more often the staining is repeated, the more likely it is to reuse the wash;
• strand length: on short strands, it is easier to get successful depigmentation due to the fact that the ends have not gained too much color;
• hair structure;
• compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Everything is very individual, but the correct determination of all these factors together gives the required result.

Estel Color Off remover, which is often positioned as a composition for home pickling, is sold in branded packs containing 3 components. The number of components includes phosphoric acid, which gives a rather persistent unpleasant odor. But it is she who allows you to provide a really intense impact.

The chemical is effective. It can be used to do both acid wash and deeper professional pickling. This is achieved by including 3 ingredients in the composition at once:

• reducing agent;
• catalyst;
• color neutralizer.

Each of them is contained in a numbered bottle and has a recognizable appearance. Depending on the desired result, you may need to combine different ingredients. With a standard homemade acid wash, only bottles 1 and 2 are used. To achieve the desired result, 3-5 procedures may be required. Then a neutralizer is applied.

The current pros and cons of the product are of great importance, because we are talking about a radical effect on the hair structure. Among the advantages of Estel Color Off are:

• ease of returning the original tone: the tool allows you to preserve your own regrown roots, without exposing them to depigmentation;
• absence of chemically aggressive components in the composition;

• no restrictions on the use of staining: you can start it after the neutralizer has been used;
• ease of use;
• affordable cost;
• relatively tolerant odor compared to other formulations.

• Another important point: The box does not contain gloves required for handling chemicals.
• It is not possible to purchase goods freely: it is distributed by dealers in the professional hairdressing market.
