For modern women, there is a huge selection of hair dye products. Of course, the effect of using paint will be much better than after a
tinted shampoo or balm. Why then do they even use them? For several actions:
- to neutralize the yellowness of the hair (especially after the clarification procedure);
- to give a light shade to the main color of the hair.
In this article we will talk about the tonic balm “Tonic”, and also discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
How to choose the color of the balm?
As mentioned earlier, the balm will not give the staining effect that can be obtained after applying the paint. Instead he is:
- will give a shade;
- strengthens hair and gives it shine.
Thus, if you decide to “refresh” the color, the “Tonic” tint balms should be selected with a difference of several tones from your main one. Otherwise, you run the risk of not getting what you expect. The palette of shades offered by this brand is quite wide, and you can find a color for every taste. For example, for blondes, whose problem after lightening is the so-called yellowness, Tonic Tinted Balm 810 (pearl ash) is perfect. It will add a cool tone that neutralizes imperfections after staining in white.
How to use?
In fact, using balm is not so easy. Many representatives of the fair sex have to make mistakes several times before getting the desired effect from it. The question arises: “Why is it so difficult?” But, as with hair dyes, the expected and real effects often do not match. It should be remembered that tinting can be done in the following ways:
1. If we need maximum dyeing, then the tonic can be applied immediately to the washed hair, without diluting it.
2. If we need a light shade or we want to eliminate yellowness, the tonic balm “Tonic” must be diluted:
- shampoo in a ratio of about 70:30, where 30 is Tonic (mix the components and apply to the hair, wait a few minutes, then rinse off);
- water (after the hair is washed with shampoo, rinse them with water mixed with balsam (a few drops per liter of water).
Advantages and disadvantages of Tonic balm
The benefits are obvious:
- reasonable cost;
- ease of use;
- staining efficiency;
- the ability to independently adjust the color saturation;
- color fastness.
Tinted balm "Tonic", like any cosmetic products, have their drawbacks, which include:
- difficulty in calculating the proportion;
- in case of too frequent use, this product dries the hair.
Choosing a dye or tinting means for adjusting hair color is a purely individual choice. The variety of shades presented in both categories is approximately the same. You can choose both natural tones and the most extravagant. For example, the tonic balm “Tonic” “Pink Pearls” or “Amethyst” will allow you to achieve an unusual shade of hair, give individuality and emphasize your non-standard.
