Contents of the article:
Hair coloring is quite simple and quick way change your image and introduce new ones into it, bright colors. It is a real lifeline when nature has not rewarded a person with a memorable curl color. To ensure that everything is done efficiently and without stress, it is best to turn to professionals, but if there is no such opportunity or desire, you can easily do it correctly and at home with our detailed instructions.
What types of hair coloring products are there?
On store shelves you can find a large selection of special paints, tint balms, shampoos, foams and natural dyes, like basma and henna. The first ones are chosen if you need a long-lasting effect that will be noticeable for up to a year. If you don’t want to stay in a new look for a long time, tint products are suitable, and for those who are not afraid to experiment, henna and basma are suitable.
Here are 3 types of products that you can use to color your hair at home:
- Paints. They come in two types - persistent, which wash off slowly, and semi-resistant, with a shorter “service life”. Both of them may contain ammonia or be produced without it, but the latter cost an order of magnitude more, and they are considered harmless to health. The results obtained are pleasing for 2-10 months, depending on the chosen product. The offered color range is very extensive, from white to black. The disadvantage of this option is that under the sun, hair dyed with such products quickly fades. Also, after this, they may begin to actively fall out, become dry and brittle, and look lifeless. Another drawback is that it doesn’t look very nice when the original lighter or darker roots grow back, and the paint has not yet completely washed out. This method is especially inconvenient for brunettes, because in order for them to turn blonde, they need to lighten their hair several times, and this is very bad for their hair. The most popular brands are Garnier, Palette, Syoss and Wella Wellaton. You cannot use ammonia paint if the integrity of the scalp is damaged, otherwise it will burn strongly.
- Tonics. This type refers to unstable dyes that are washed out within 2-3 months. At the same time, it is a completely safe and easy way to change your hair color. Unlike their competitors, such products do not penetrate deep into the skin, so the result appears faster, in 15-20 minutes. This category also includes tinted balms, foams, gels and shampoos that are used for washing hair. They are much easier to work with than simple paints; they do not leave stains on your hands or face. This hair coloring is not suitable for those with dark hair. Manufacturers offer mainly red, burgundy, chocolate, and light brown shades. One tube, usually produced with a volume of 350 ml, is enough for 1-2 times, depending on the length and thickness of the hair. This product makes it easy to apply makeup without any outside help. You should not use tonics within 1-3 months after lightening, dyeing with conventional compounds and perm - the color may turn out completely unexpected.
- Natural dyes. Here we are talking about basma and henna, which should preferably be used in combination with each other. These products are presented in the form of a greenish powder and are sold in paper and cardboard packages volume of 100 g. They are extremely beneficial for hair, strengthen it and give it natural shine. It is very important that in the end the color turns out so close to natural that you can’t always tell the difference. Basma gives a black color, and henna gives a red color, together the result is chestnut. Some manufacturers offer so-called white henna to lighten curls by 1-2 tones. A colorless product is used to strengthen hair. Products from Iran and India are in high demand. The downside of these products is that they do not smell very nice and are difficult to wash out of your hair.
