Shampoo
The desire to change quickly and easily is inherent in many women. A few decades ago, in the magazines for women, it was possible to find the secrets of lightening and darkening the curls with the help of decoctions of herbs, infusions and natural dyes. Modern women have more options to change their hair color, and there are a lot of shades. One of the most benign ways to change the color of the hair is using a shampoo.
Benefits
Recently, complex staining is replaced by toning or a radical change in hair color. In both cases, the use of tinted shampoos is justified, because frequent experiments with paint quickly spoil the structure of the curls, and different pigments are not always friendly, giving the hair a strange color shades. Lovers of trends have already acquired fashionable tint and are happy to recommend them. The main advantages of shading with shampoo include the following:
- Coloring tools from different manufacturers can be found in the line of professional tools in beauty salons, and in regular stores for self-use. To carry out such staining at home is quite simple.
- The composition of coloring shampoos is diverse, they damage hair less. Cheap samples can overdry strands with frequent use, it is compensated by provitamins and special additives for shine and strength. Enriched composition offer professional and quality brands.
- If you didn't like the shade, then it does not take much time, money and effort to eliminate it.
- Such a gentle option can toned and gray hair.
Dark-haired girls usually use tinted shampoos for toning, because shallow coloring is more effective for blondes. For those who have bleached dark hair, yellowing remedies are helpful: blue pigment drowns out the unpleasant “chicken” shade if, after bleaching, noble platinum blonde has been achieved.
However, the result of toning is not always predictable: strands can be colored unevenly, and the color intensity is difficult to adjust.
Composition
Tonics are considered soft coloring agents compared to hair dye, as they work only on the surface of the hair, without disturbing its structure. However, it is difficult for them to change the color of the curls with absolutely no harm. Intensive changes in tone are given by tinting balsams based on ammonia and peroxide; nutritional components (proteins, plant extracts) help to reduce harm.
There are more gentle options when softer oxidizers (citric acid) are used instead of ammonia.
The natural dyes include tonics based on henna and basma - they give dense shades, but they are not good friends with hair dyes, and the result is unpredictable. Therefore, it is better to use them on a natural color to obtain copper (formulations with henna) or a dark shade; at least 2 weeks should pass for re-staining. And for fair hair from natural dyes, chamomile and cornflower based products are very soft and almost harmless.
Of the undesirable components can be called potassium and sodium, but magnesium lauryl sulfate, on the contrary, will take care and give a healthy gloss.

How to choose
Natural shade or the one that you have now is the main factor for choosing a tint. A large selection of palettes from manufacturers is oriented for blonde, light brown and gray hair. You can experiment with any tone - from cold platinum and pearl blond to deep black.
It is important to understand that the saturated dark pigment is poorly washed out, so it will be difficult to return to the natural wheat or flaxen blossom.
- For melirovannyh and brightened dark strands the ugly yellow color becomes a big problem. To neutralize it, there are many brands of shampoos with blue and purple pigments that give the curls a noble metallic luster.In the presence of gray hair, such balms also help to get a beautiful tone, because few tools are capable of high-quality paint over gray without yellowing.
- For dark hair it is difficult to pick up a tint shampoo - the palette is usually limited to chocolate, black and reddish colors. For girls with pale and pinkish skin, any shades will do, and for dark ones it is better to choose warm, close to natural options. At the same time, the means for brunettes and brown-haired women almost do not change color, but give a beautiful shade, glare and accents.
- For red hair experiments with any shades are possible, provided that it is a natural color. If you tinted hair with henna, it is better to wait for 2-3 weeks, when the dye will wash off. Otherwise, you risk becoming the owner of a strange and uneven color.
Palette
The color selection of tonics is quite wide. At the same time, in addition to natural shades, brands often offer very unusual solutions designed for a youth audience. They are also called carnival, because they are chosen and in order to complement a certain image with a bright or unexpected hair color (blue, purple). Such extraordinary colors are quickly washed away, which is quite justified.
Lately, pink has become popular among shades - many stars have already tried it out in their images (painted in whole or in part). This color looks good on light and bleached hair. Coloring products with an ashy shade of pearl, beige are also relevant for blondes, they help to give a noble shine to the blond and emphasize the natural undertone of the skin and hair. For warm tsvetotipov beige more relevant, for the cold - ashen and pearls.
Some shampoos for toning blond hair already contain blue pigments to give a cold glow. If you overdo it, you can get a lilac and blue tint on the bleached strands.
An extraordinary red color has many names (wine, titian, burgundy), girls and women of balsac age buy it. If he gives a clearer gamut on blond hair, then a reddish shine adds to dark hair. This is enough to refresh the style and give a highlight.
But with black pigment, everything is not simple: if it adds dark and brown hair to depth and a cold subtone, then a completely different shade may appear on the bleached (if dyes are not “friendly”). It will be difficult to achieve full coloring in the color of the "crow's wing", instead of a radical transformation you can get dirty stains and strange colors.
Such tasks are better to trust professional shampoos for salons or contact a hairdresser stylist.
How to use
To dye your hair with a shading shampoo, you need to carefully read the instructions for it: it is printed in the form of annotations or indicated on the packaging. There are 2 application options - for dry and wet hair. When processing raw hair, the color penetrates a little deeper and lasts longer, so this method is recommended for gray strands and obtaining a rich color.
The dry version may be suitable for short periods (for example, for a masquerade) or for hair that has undergone bleaching, highlighting or dyeing. It is believed that they have a porous structure, which means that the pigment will in any case pass through the upper layers. In this case, the tonic is applied to clean, dry hair.
If your skin is allergic, it is better to check the composition on the skin of the wrist, the crook of the elbow or the hand for 15 minutes. So you save yourself from the unpleasant itching and irritation of the skin, which will face those who ignore the check. In addition, allergic reactions of the scalp can lead to brittleness and loss, deterioration of hair growth due to impaired blood circulation.
Wear thin gloves before applying. In contact with the skin of the hands, the composition of the shampoo will definitely leave “marks”.For the same reason, with any hair coloring, it is advised to use a special or dark towel, because the dye can easily stain the laundry and is not so easily washed off. If the composition is in a sachet and involves mixing, then for uniform application it is more convenient to use a special bowl, comb and brush for dyeing.
When you first "meet" with a tint tool, check its color on a separate strand (dry or wet) from the back of the head. Usually, 5-15 minutes stand for the development of color, 30-40 minutes for a brighter shade. So you can appreciate the depth and saturation before dyeing the whole head. In this case, be guided by the duration of staining recommended by the manufacturer. If you leave for a longer period, you can dry out the hair.
Wet application is recommended not on wet, but on slightly dried curls. If you use styling products, pre-wash the strands with regular shampoo, and then squeeze out excess water and lightly dry with a towel. After that, use the composition for toning, gently wash off the remnants of the coloring agent after the right time.
Since the compositions often dry the hair, after any toning it is better to apply a balm, mask or conditioner according to the instructions.
To remove the pigment from the hair, you need to wash your head several times (from 3 to 8 washings depending on the durability of the product). Note that it is not easy to wash off the tint balm from the hair after overexposing the composition. For strong tonics, you may need emulsion or shampoo for enhanced cleansing. But the duration of staining directly depends on how often and how exactly you wash your hair.
Reviews
Although among the domestic and budget funds come across decent specimens, stylists are more benevolent toward imported European brands. Because of the more stringent certification, they do not use potassium and sodium, which are harmful not only to hair, but also to overall health. A good result can be obtained from non-professional means.
"Homemade" tinted shampoos are more comfortable when self-applied - they do not spread and stain clothes and skin less.
The concept of "best" in tint means is relative, many brands focus on the original hair color. However, in order not to spoil the hair, you need to look closely to the composition. Cornflower extracts, betaine and proteins, keratin molecules give soft coloring - they will make hair shining and smooth, improving the look of even damaged and previously painted curls.
