An easy procedure has no long-term effect, and the result will go away immediately after shampooing. This type of toning is intended only for the selection of the desired color scheme.

On the shelves of specialized stores, you can see a large number of both professional products and preparations for home use.

Experts distinguish two types of products.

• Matrix - a brand that produces coloring compositions for gray curls. The huge color palette consists of over 60 shades.

Professional hairdressers do not recommend purchasing cheap products of unknown brands that have a low level of quality. The best products are always priced accordingly.

The correct choice of shade is the key to obtaining an even and rich tone with a shine effect. Large companies that produce hair dyeing and toning products have created a special shade table. This table allows you to quickly select the necessary tone even for novice women of fashion, as well as visually see the possible result after the procedure.

To obtain the maximum effect, it is necessary to choose tint products, the color of which is closest to the shade of the hair. In order to tint the redhead, you need to use golden tonics of a warm palette. A copper tone with a bright red tint will help smooth out red hair or even out a dark shade. For gray and ash curls, you need to choose silver and platinum products. Only to obtain the effect of burnt curls, you can use lighter colors.

Experts do not recommend girls with light skin and hair to use dark colors. The performed procedure will make the face dull and expressionless, and will also increase the age by several years.

If you mix several similar colors before toning, then you can visually increase the volume of the hairstyle. A hairstyle will look spectacular and bright, when created, only some strands were lightened, and toning was carried out on all curls.By alternately applying several shades, you can make a fashionable and stylish coloring.

Novice women of fashion should take into account that the shade of hair after the procedure will be slightly lighter than the color stated in the table.

Toning is a simple procedure that can be carried out both in professional beauty salons and on your own at home. For several days before toning, it is necessary to perform a complex of health procedures, which consists of the regular application of nourishing, moisturizing and regenerating masks, as well as the use of balms and conditioners.

Before normalizing the color of discolored curls at home, you need to purchase the following tools and materials:

• a hairdressing cape or large towel;
• rubber or plastic gloves;
• plastic container;
• sponge or brush;
• comb with sparse teeth.

This procedure consists of several stages:

• shampooing with deep penetration shampoo;
• drying hair naturally at room temperature;
• dividing the strands into at least 4 parts;
• applying the composition to the curls starting from the occipital region;
• maintaining a certain amount of time specified by the manufacturer in the instructions;
• rinsing off the product with warm clean water;
• final head wash with shampoo;
• rinsing with conditioner;
• applying a nourishing mask;
• Blotting hair with a terry towel.

Experts recommend painting over the roots only at the end of the procedure. You need to wipe your head with an old or dark towel, due to its possible staining with the rest of the tonic. Hairdressers recommend applying greasy creams to the forehead, ears and neck to make it easier to remove paint from these areas.

If this procedure does not bring the desired result or you need to quickly change the color scheme of the hair, experts recommend treating the strands with special dye removers or washing your hair several times with deep cleaning shampoo. If, after these manipulations, it was not possible to completely remove the coloring pigment from the curls, special masks must be made. A mask made of warm fermented milk products of high fat content will not only help to quickly remove the paint, but also improve the general condition of the hair.

Rinsing your hair with a solution of baking soda or salt will help remove unnecessary pigment. After this procedure, which dries out the hair, it is imperative to make a moisturizing mask. Absorbent cosmetic clay will also help restore your hair's natural color. This product must be diluted with water and applied to the strands. To remove clay, you just need to wash your hair.

To obtain the desired result, experts recommend following the recommendations below:

• before the procedure, remove split ends, which after staining will have a dark shade;
• application and distribution of paint should be carried out as quickly as possible.

In the absence of experience in tinting, it is imperative to consult with specialists and watch training master classes.

Due to the fact that these funds have a low level of stability and are quickly washed off, stylists recommend toning once every 14 days. This frequency will maximize the preservation of the color gamut and not injure the hair structure.

The frequency of this procedure is influenced by the subsequent care of the strands. In order for the hair color to be maintained for a longer period of time, it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations of specialists.

• Shampooing is performed only 4 days after the procedure.This period of time will allow the pigment to adhere to the hair surface as securely as possible.
• Use only wooden combs that prevent hair from becoming electrified.
• Comb the hair only after it is completely dry.
• Use of a minimum number of heating tools for styling.
• Wearing hats both in the cold season and in summer.
• Rinsing hair only with settled and boiled water, which contains a minimum amount of chlorine and heavy metal salts.
• Regular use of moisturizing and regenerating cosmetics.
