How to tonic hair?

Want to change something in your own appearance? Tired of your hair color, but do not want to change dramatically? This issue is particularly acute in the spring, when women start to get rid of warm and shapeless winter clothes.

With the arrival of warm spring days you want to look brighter, more attractive and more interesting. In addition to clothing, appearance also plays a significant role.

Probably, every girl at least once in her life made a decision about hair coloring, but the result did not always meet the expectations. In order not to regret their deeds and not be upset, you can ask for help from professional masters in beauty salons or hairdressing salons. But there is not always time and the opportunity to find time and go "inducing beauty." Why not try dyeing your hair at home, and It is best to start experiments of this kind with lighter and smoky means - tonics.

Due to the special composition of the components, the tonic does not injure hair as much as paints with ammonia. Hair tonic is a coloring agent with which you can change the hair color (not dramatically, but a couple of shades in comparison with its natural tone) for a few weeks. Great for those who try for the first time and are not yet ready for cardinal changes or just want to experiment with changing their appearance.

The advantages of tonic for coloring:

1. The almost complete absence of ammonia contributes to gentle staining and does not violate the structure of the hair.
2. The presence in the composition of the vitamin complex helps to care for hair, nourishes and moisturizes. Hair becomes light, docile, shiny, silky and soft to the touch.
3. The possibility of conducting experiments in the search for the perfect image.
4. If unsuccessful, you can quickly remove the shade, which turned out after applying the tonic. Using the advice of users of the World Wide Web and the recommendations of professional hairdressers-stylists, you can use masks to remove the resulting shade or modify it to 1-2 tones.
5. Cost savings.

Disadvantages of using tinted tonic as a coloring agent:

1. Short-lasting effect (however, many girls attribute this criterion to the benefits, because you can change the appearance almost every month).
2. Poor components or improper use of the products leave marks on clothes that are difficult or completely impossible to wash.

The fair sex paint their hair for various reasons: someone wants to hide her gray hair, someone wants to change her appearance, and someone just wants to stand out from the masses and resorts to extreme changes. What to choose: paint or tonic? Both tinting agent and paint are used to dye the hair. They differ in the degree of safety, effectiveness of use, brightness or naturalness of the result.

If you want a bright and saturated color, then the best option would be paint. However, one should carefully approach the choice of colors, pay attention to the composition, read reviews and recommendations of stylists-hairdressers. Those who seek to experiment, it is better to use tonic. The tinting agent will emphasize the naturalness and natural shine of the hair.

The duration of the effect depends on a number of factors, among which are the type of tinting agent, the trademark and features of its products.

Types of tonics:

1. With mild exposure (foam or shampoo with a tint balm, moisturizing tonic-booster). Within two weeks, toning is washed off. This type is a great option for female experimenters who are looking for something new for self-expression. It can be a close shade to your natural hair color to revitalize them, or a rather bold and original solution (for example, various tones of pink, lilac, blue and ashy).
2. With a deep impact (non-ammonia paints of the professional type), which are kept on the hair for up to two months. The absence of ammonia allows the use of such paints even during pregnancy.

The proposed color palette is able to satisfy the wishes of any young lady. However, when choosing a tinting agent, it must be remembered that the same names of tones from different manufacturers can give significantly different results.

Companies that manufacture tinted balms and shampoos, as well as paints that do not contain ammonia, offer the attention of modern society not only natural shades, but also very bold options. Want to surprise others, want to make a splash at a party? Feel free to choose tonics of bright and unusual tones: pink, crimson, red, purple, lilac, blue, blue, neon-light green, bright green, eggplant, gray, plum and others.

When can I start to dye my hair? Such a question quite often sounds among teenage girls. Of course, because of their age, girls often do not ask moms' advice, but make decisions on their own and no arguments that paints are unsafe, are unable to stop them in implementing their plans. In this case, you can approach the issue differently and persuade the child to try toning agents.

Ammonia is either completely absent in the component composition of the tonic, or is present in a minimal amount, so you can not worry that it is harmful to health. This tool is considered absolutely safe. Can be used even during periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

When choosing any cosmetic product, including for dyeing / toning hair, you need to focus on the color type of appearance. Often on the packages indicated shade of color, which will be the result. But do not forget that the carton or plastic bottle is just a drawing, and the real color on the hair can be significantly different.

According to the recommendations and advice of stylists, hairdressers, there are no restrictions on the use of non-ammonia inks or tinting balms / shampoos. The only exception is perm, henna and basma coloring. After these procedures, you must pause for several months.

You can fully toned hair or just tips at home. If the staining procedure is more complicated, you need to use the services of a professional master for correct and uniform coloring. But you can tint the hair yourself.

At the same time it is necessary to remember a few rules:

1. you can not tint the hair after henna or basma;
2. a procedure cannot be performed on a recently made perm;
3. tinting agents are often used to paint gray hair (the color may lie uneven, you may have to mix several shades);
4. Blondes need to carefully select the tone to remove yellowness;
5. in case of an unsuccessful result (for example, the hair turned out too red or yellow, the tone did not lie evenly, a different shade on the ends, etc.), as well as to remove yellowness, red and red or another shade, they often resort to folk remedies;

To tint hair at home, you need gloves, shampoo, a couple of towels, a dyeing brush, a plastic bowl, a comb with occasional teeth, and a tinting agent.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Do not apply tonic to dirty hair. It is necessary to wash the hair and dry it slightly. Ammonia-free paint / tinting agent is applied to dry or slightly damp hair.
2. Using a special brush, apply the product to the hair and spread it over the entire length, to do this, you need a comb with rare teeth.
3. To sustain the necessary time.
4. Rinse the tonic with warm water until the water is clear and transparent.
5. You can rinse dyed hair with lemon water or apply a tint balm to fix the color.
6. To wipe off the skin tonic, just wipe with a damp towel. If the paint is strongly “ingrained” into the skin, ordinary kefir is useful.

Only by adhering to these rules, the hair after toning will look beautiful. The tone will fall evenly and even on the yellow hair a beautiful shade will appear.

Hair tinting is different from the procedure of coloring, because the tools used are safe for the hair, they do not penetrate inside. However, do not neglect the tips and recommendations from manufacturers, which are usually indicated in the instructions for use.

For light toning, you should slightly reduce the time interval. And if you want a more resistant and saturated color, then you can slightly overdo the tonic on the hair.

Often, women wonder how long the toning on the hair lasts. This question can not be answered unequivocally and to name any specific figure, because The effectiveness of the procedure is influenced by various factors:

1. type of agent used;
2. hair structure and natural (original) color;
3. selected shade of tinting agent and brand;
4. method of applying tonic (alone at home or by professional craftsmen in beauty salons).

Gray hair is the most unpleasant moment that will upset every woman of the beautiful sex, regardless of her age. What to do if the gray stubbornly "silver", but do not want to use resistant paints that can damage the structure of the hair. Toning agents will come to the rescue.

According to statistics, only 30% of gray hair can be hidden with the help of tonics. Of course, you should try and see for yourself how effective these funds will be. However, do not count on a long and stunning effect. Tonic as a hair dye removes only part of the gray hairs. Even the cheapest drugs can handle this task.

Every time you wash your hair, the shade is washed off and gray hair appears again. Unfortunately, it turns out a vicious circle. You can try to resort to the help of more expensive means of well-known brands.But the effectiveness of painting gray hair does not depend only on the type of tonic, the structure and characteristics of the hair itself play a significant role.

At present, the choice of various cosmetics is huge. Among the most popular tinting agents are the following brands:

1. L’Oreal (L'Oreal) Professional;
2. Schwarzkopf (Schwarzkopf) Professional;
3. Estel (Estelle);
4. Irida (Irida);
5. Rocolor;
6. Belita (Belita) Lux Color;
7. Jungle Fever (Jungle Feever);
8. Acme Color (Acme Color).

Highly popular are shades of the Nordic blond, mountain ash, as well as the Manic Panic with black tonic and others.

Having studied more than a dozen reviews on the effectiveness of tinting agents for hair dyeing, we can highlight several facts. For example, most reviews say that tonics are harmless to human health. They are also affordable, do not require special knowledge and skills even for home use. However, the result does not always meet the expectations, sometimes the shade may not be the same as we would like.

When choosing a tinting substance or a ammonia free paint, it is important to pay attention to the manufacturer and follow the recommendations of hair stylists
