Hair balm

Women always strive to try new images on themselves, but some manipulations with hair do not always give a positive result: they weaken, break and begin to fall out. So that the cardinal transformation doesn’t do much harm to the locks, you can use a tint hair balm.

Shading tonics, shampoos and balms have a number of indisputable advantages, but the main plus of such products is their composition. It is a combination of gentle ingredients that do not penetrate deep into the structure of the hair and do not destroy them from the inside. After using the tonic, the curls retain their luster and silkiness, do not become fragile and dull.

Balms for toning have a number of features. Some of them are positive, others are negative. After analyzing them all, you can easily understand whether this method of staining is suitable for you or not.

1. Surface staining. Coloring pigment balm does not penetrate into the hair, and placed on its surface. On the one hand, this is good, as the structure remains intact, and the formed film creates a protective barrier. But on the other hand, this color is extremely unstable and completely washed off after 5-10 times (depending on the brand).
2. Ability to experiment. With the help of tonic balms, you can safely try a new shade. If any does not fit, you can simply stop using this tool, a natural hair color will return in a couple of weeks. The exact period during which the staining effect remains is indicated on the packaging. Some balms are stored on the hair up to 2 months.
3. Healthy shine. The most popular brands of tint balsams have a soft and gentle effect. Due to this curls do not become fragile over time. On the contrary, they are soft, silky and glossy, and also easy to comb. Only some of the tonic balms slightly dry the hair, after which you need to use emollients and moisturizers.
4. Balm can change hair color by 1 - 3 tones. And the effect will be predictable, if you have not used paint before and have not done a perm. Otherwise, you can get a completely unpredictable result.

And, unfortunately, some companies use this by adding heavy metal salts to their products. Therefore, when choosing a tonic of little-known Russian brands, you should carefully study the packaging.

In Europe, hair coloring products are subject to mandatory certification, therefore rarely contain harmful substances. But when choosing a company you do not need to rely on the brand name, it is better to look at the composition: the smaller the components, the better.

Before buying, you should review the table that shows the color and the expected result. It is necessary to take into account the naturalness of the color: dark hair with a selected shade will not look as rich and bright as blond hair. We should not expect that with the help of tonic brunette can become a blonde - a radical change will occur only after dyeing with high-quality paints.

When choosing a tonic balm, one should pay attention to the fame and reputation of the manufacturer, composition and tint. For some, the price will be important.
