If you are still unfamiliar with Russian products under the brand name “Tonic” from “RoColor”, but “really want to get to know each other”, this article will be interesting for you. Below we will introduce you to one of the shades of “Tonics” - “Amethyst”, show the possible results of staining with this composition, and also talk about the potential harm to the hair, if any.
What to choose - paint or tint balm
All girls think of whether to dye their hair in any shade or change their native color. A woman will probably not be by herself if she does not strive for changes and experiments with her appearance. However, often the reluctance to spoil hair or become dependent on the chosen paint nullifies all attempts to change the “suit”. No matter what the advertisement says, any paint, even the most sparing, in any case injures the hair.
The use of special shampoos and balms, of course, will help reduce damage from the chemical composition of the paint, but it is ridiculous to compare the quality of unpainted and dyed hair. For those who want to take a chance and change, and at the same time not harm their wealth on their heads, there is an alternative - coloring Tonic brand shampoos.
How Tonic Works
This product is a cross between balsam and paint. Unlike coloring compounds, it will not cause noticeable damage to your hair. Ammonia is absent in the tonic, and this can be guessed by barely removing the lid from the Tonic packaging. The product is available in a wide palette of colors so that you can change the color of hair from light tones to black.
As for the balm "Tonic" "Amethyst", then this tool is suitable for owners of light curls. With it, you can neutralize yellowness, give your hair a pink and purple hue. Also, women with
gray hair can use this tool
.Product packaging
All Tonic products from the RoColor brand are presented in blue and turquoise bubbles. There is a dispenser on the bottle, however, judging by the reviews, all customers find it uncomfortable. On the other hand, no one complained that the remedy could spill.
Tonic balm “Amethyst” is saturated blueberry, when diluted with water or shampoo it becomes a deep purple. Girls who have already tested this product, strongly recommends using gloves during staining. Otherwise, your nails will turn purple, which will then be very difficult to remove. In addition, it is recommended to wear unnecessary clothing during staining, as the balm has a strong coloring effect. A towel or casual clothing may be hopelessly damaged if a product gets into it.
Application methods
There are several ways to apply the tonic balm "Tonic" "Amethyst". If you want to neutralize the yellowness of the clarified strands, you must dilute the product with water in the proportion of one cap to two liters of water. Rinse the hair with the resulting composition after washing. The second way to apply the composition in order to get rid of the yellowness on the hair is to add the “Amethyst” Tonic balm to the colorless shampoo in a 1: 4 ratio.
For color
If you decide to use "Amethyst" ("Tonic") for toning, you need to evenly apply the composition along the entire length of the hair. Leave the product on them for up to 10 minutes to get a light shade and up to 45 minutes if you want to change the color of the hair.
Coloring Tonic balm does not harm curls like paint. However, this product noticeably dries hair, especially bleached. Keep this in mind when using Amethyst for tinting. In order not to dry the curls, you can mix hair balm with Tonic in a proportion of one to two. The strands will be colored, but will be much softer and more obedient after.
How color is worn
It is pointless to expect an inexpensive “Tonic” result, as after salon staining. If you use Amethyst Tonic for a vibrant color, you may be disappointed. After the first shampoo wash, the resulting color will not be so intense, in addition, it is possible to wash off the tint balm in parts. As a result, the hair dyed by Tonika looks dirty and untidy.
What results can be counted on
What is famous for “Tonic” is unpredictability. If you use it to neutralize yellowness, you can still hope for any tolerable result. Toning can change hair to completely wild shades.
According to reviews, “Tonic” “Amethyst” copes well with the removal of yellowness on the hair, but there is a chance that your locks will acquire a pink and purple hue. If you absolutely do not want this, then select a different shade in the RoColor line.
As for tinting, as a result, you can get the whole spectrum of pink tones, from strawberry to light purple. It is impossible to predict the result, it all depends on the initial color of the hair and their quality.
Product Reviews
If you are a frequent visitor to salons, your hair color is clearly verified and created by the hands of a master, then reviews are definitely not recommended to use “Tonic”. You can get away from your color and be dissatisfied with the result. It is not worth hoping that the coloring balm can be easily washed off. This product is really washed off the hair, but unevenly. As for the Amethyst balm specifically, the girls note that it is washed off with spots, leaving a dirty pink mark on the hair.
On the other hand, there are many laudatory comments about Amethyst as an excellent yellowness neutralizer for girls whose strands are painted in light tones or strawberry blond. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of balm, otherwise you risk going into purple tones.
Alternative products
In the domestic market, "RoKolor" with its products, "Tonic" is the most famous and in demand. Part of this demand is due to the price, one tube costs from 150 to 200 rubles in a retail store.
The second reason Tonika is popular is its large color palette. Whatever your hair color, you can choose for yourself something from the RoColor products to match or choose a different shade to change.
In addition, according to reviews, Tonic balms really work and not only give color support, but can completely transform your “suit”. However, on the shelves you can find similar products. This is the Fara brand, professional hair cosmetics Estel. These products differ in price, and it is up to you to decide what to choose.
